Handles and Sword Prices

[[GFFD] Baerchen]

So for custom orders or just for the fun of it i wanted to figure out how much a sword is and what impact the handle has. I had the assumption that the handle didnt have a big impact on the sword and while partially true i was kinda surprised. Today i forged a Sword of every metal and used Handel materials "equal" to the metal. So Ruby pommel for mithril for example and only low stuff on Iron. All swords were tempered and had 1.0 Excellent Heat quality. These are the results.

Gold Sword - 10970g

Grind 99%
Handle 99% / 1015g

Silver Sword - 3696g

Grind 98%
Handle 99% / 1030g

Elandoor Sword - 5346g

Grind 97%
Handle 100% / 795g

Mithril Sword - 2358g

Grind 98%
Handle 98% / 320g

Tungstein Sword - 1385g

Grind 99%
Handle 99% / 185g

Titan Sword - 616g

Grind 98%
Handle 100% / 115g

Iron Sword - 261g

Grind 98%
Handle 99% / 35g

Bronze Sword - 258g

Grind 97%
Handle 97% / 35g

Copper Sword - 209g

Grind 98%
Handle - 99% / 35g

So after i did all the swords i did a second Gold sword with a really low level Handle which was
9411g with 99% grind and a 35g Handle 99%.

So after a bit of match i had a diffrence of roughly 580gold between theswords which can only be presumed to be the value increase of using the expensive Handle materials, which is a roguhly 50-60% increase in value. So determining the base value of a sword (tempering, grinding and forging) is roughly the above minus 1.5x the handle price. Dont think thats as needed but heres a list for the enchanting :

Enchanting - Cost/sell (?=found in mine/customer trading)
Nature - 180/260
Blood - 240/330
Blizzard - 250/400
Death - ? / 500
Soul - ? / 600
Fire - 400/700
Thunder - ?/750
Hell - 700/ 1500

Hope i didnt miss anything and you blacksmith can use this for something. If i did something wrong please let me know.


TL;DR: Handle value on excellent is roughly 50-60% bonus.
