Mithril Theory - by S Walch

"My Theory is simple. As soon as you walk into a smithy carefully watch his motions. you will notice that his arms swing back and forth. My Theory is that on a different arm swing he will make you a different Mithril weapon. An Arm swing is the motion from front to back, and vice versa"

"Add 3 each time if you want to wait a little longer. So instead of waiting 1 arm swing for the Witch wand, Wait 4 or 7 arm swings and you should get it."

"Personal Preferance: I usually wait until about 6/7/8 arm swings as the Smithy in Malorie has that anoying chair in the room and sometimes I end up hitting the damn thing. So I'd wait a bit for the smithy to do his thing."
