I guess I can do that but then I need to part with some gold which I'm saving for some elusive skill book.

Also, my master blacksmith (5) and skilled crafter (6) with high intelligence (10) does not know how to craft a lower level weapon which he could once upon a time. Something does not add up, you reckon?
