Sept 22 Publish Nov 16 1999 5:12PM CST The following features and fixes were included in the Sept. 22nd publish:
Smelting
Armor and weapons can be smelted back into ingots.
Items you wish to smelt must be in your back-pack.
Smelting will be tied to the mining skill. The higher your skill in mining, the more ingots you will get back.
The more wear and tear on an item, the less ingots it will return.
Items purchased from an NPC will yield only one ingot when smelted.
Smelted magic items will yield regular ingots.
Smelting special metals will yield ingots of that color, with the exception of dyeable kite shields.
Smelting dyeable kite shields will return regular ingots regardless of the color of the ingots used to make the shield.
To smelt an item:
Double-click a smithing tool, such as a hammer.
The smithing window will open and contain a forge.
Double-clicking the forge will bring up a targeting cursor.
Clicking armor or a weapon that is in your backpack will smelt that item.
You will receive a number of ingots depending on the item itself, its wear and tear, and your mining skill.
Unraveling
Clothing and leather armor can be cut back into cloth and leather respectively.
Use scissors on clothing or leather armor to get the cloth or leather.
The amount of cloth or leather yielded is tied to the tailoring skill. The higher your skill in tailoring, the more cloth/leather you will get.
Items you wish to unravel must be in your backpack.
"Newbie" items and death robes cannot be unraveled.

The owner
