You need three maces to forge a mace from scratch #118

So, for most weapon forging recipes you can make yourself a flow chart and work your way up from darts, arrows, and crossbow bolts to make pretty much anything. Example would be: arrows and darts to knives, turn those to daggers with arrows, turn those to short swords with crossbow bolts, turn those to long swords with each other, combine two long swords and BOOM, you've got a katana. However, the mace recipe is... interesting. Here is what you'll need to do if you want to make a mace in the same way as a katana, tsurugi, trident, etc.

1) forge two knives using arrows and darts 2) make them into daggers using arrows 3) make a morning star using one of your daggers... and a mace 4) make a flail using your newly forged morning star... and a mace 5) make a war hammer using your flail... and a mace 6) finally, forge your leftover dagger from earlier with your newly forged hammer, to create a mace!

This basically means that if you want another mace as priest, to forge with your existing one to upgrade it to a heavy mace, you need to get blessed with a random hammer or mace. The existing recipes are fine for making what they do, but the problem is obviously that you need to use them to make a mace.

Please help I am confused, forging recipes are complicated :(
