Okay, I have a question...just looking to get your opinion on something that has been in the back of my mind for a while, but really came to the forefront yesterday.
They have Superior Forges in Thorin's Hall right. They have a Superior Workbench in Esteldin right. Having those facilities in those locations makes sense.
However, shouldn't there also be Superior Forges and Workbench in Rivendell? I mean it is the elf haven after all. How exactly can they have the whole reforging of Narsil lore in the game and yet not have Superior Forges and whatnot in Rivendell. It just seems like such a contradiction to the lore not to mention a functional piece of the game.
For instance, yesterday I was trying to craft some ancient iron armor. I have to use a Superior forge to make it, okay that's understandable. Then I have to make exceptional bindings which require a Superior workbench, that's understandable too. But why do I have to go all the way from Esteldin to Thorin's Hall to do this. (or in my case I was already at Thorin's Hall, so I would have had to gone to Esteldin and then come back to Thorin's Hall)
I mean in Rivendell it's the elves...the masters of all crafting since the First Age. They learned from the freaking Valar for crying out loud. Yet they don't have Superior Crafting facilities?
