Anyone here playing DSA? Never seen Veeky Forums talk about it. I've been starting to play it recently, playing a craftman type character. The thing now is that I don't find any lists anywhere about the costs of materials, or the assembly of different weapons. How big does the head of a spear need to be, for example? How much metal do I need to buy to make it? Can I just cut down a small tree and turn it into a throwing spear? There seems to be so little information about it.
Didn't they throw this hardcore simualtionism out the window?
Also, if you're german, just check ulisses DSA wiki for rules.
Ryan Torres
I know the rules. The wiki is also in english, by the way.
Anyway, I've only played DSA5, which is the latest version. I don't even want a hardcore simulation, I'd just like some basic information on what I need to build myself a better weapon.
Cameron Cook
In that case, go to wikipedia or some spear making Website.
You wont find such explicit details in the official works. Well...maybe Wege des Schwerts has some more intel on that. But nothing in DSA 5 so far.
Zachary Johnson
Yes, Wege des Schwertes has rules for creating weapons, but it doesn't go into detail about how you have to construct specific weapons types.
Alexander Torres
>In that case, go to wikipedia or some spear making Website. Huh. I guess that would be a good approach.
Still I don't find anything about the actual price of metal, despite having (access to) the "Handwerk und Herstellung" compendium, which lists a bunch of different metals and even woods, but nothign about where to find them or how much they would cost on the market. Like, I am in Festum right now, and I know there are some forests nearby, and I also know that "Steineiche" is probably the best wood for a spear, but do I know wether that forest has those trees in it? Can I just go there and get me a piece of wood (I have a saw and an axe)? I suppose I will just have to wait and see how my GM will handle that next time we play, but I would like to be better prepared.

The Bornland is pretty strict about that. I don't think you can just go into a forest and chop down trees without the permission from the local bronjar. For more Information on the fauna and flora you can also check wiki-aventurica.
Brayden Morales
I find that wiki pretty lackluster. It doesn't really have a lot of information about stuff like that.
Jackson King
Or the old zoo-botanica book.
Connor Wright
Yeah, I thought about that one, sadly it is one of the few compendiums I don't have access to. 35 bugs is sorta a dealbreaker here, can I get it online somewhere?
