only done once due to lack of ingots but has been confirmed by comparing
with weapons enhanced by other smiths.
*Bronze was a bone harvester, but still the same enhancements as a dagger.

I think enhancing weapons is pretty easy because you're not really making
them all that much 'better' but just tuning their frequency on the new
elemental spectrum of resists. Enhancing armor is alot harder because it
usually gets increased resists and abilities, which actually make it a good
sight more powerful.

Hi Lydia,
This is the study I conducted using a base of exceptional katana's built by
a 114.0 smith enhancing using color ore.
Note the values for making an exceptional crafted weapon of color are
exactly the same as making a exceptional normal iron weapon and enhancing
it with color.
These pictures confirm everything Lydia said.

My luck so far enhancing weapons has been catastrophic to say the least. I
tried to upgrade 3 undead slayer weaps 2 kats and 1 broadsword using gold
ignots and my GM Smith. Needless to say I am out 3 weapons. So my advice is
be carefull with enhancing weapons that you may be fond of.

You really don't want gold on Undead Slayers anyway....

Like my subject says, you don't want Gold on Undead
you'd be happier with Bronze or Valorite on those undead slayers, as they
deal fire damage.
I imbued a Undead Slayer with some bronze, and I've dropped 95% of the
undead with 1-2 hits, I drop Lich Lords in 4 hits using some of the Kat's
special hits (double strike and ignore armor)

Think only 1 was undead slayer (trying to get used to new terms =p)
1 already had some luck, and last one was just other magic effects that I
wanted to add luck to.

Gold has a nice benefit besides luck
Lower requirements... A hally can be armed with 47 str if you enhance it
with Gold.
by the way, with regards to luck, you can walk a fighter out your door with
420 luck all on crafted items in theory.
Gold plate with yellow scales.. full suit 340. (60 for each plate piece
and 40 for the helm). Gold shield and sword/mace/whatever fits in one hand
is good for another 80. All you sword/parryers might want to give this a
shot.

How do you produce the gold ingot / yellow scale combo armor?
I'm low on raw resources so haven't got to experement as much as I would
like

Weapons are much easier to enhance than armor. However, the number of
magical properties already in the weapon make it harder to enhance. So a
plain katana would be enhanced almost everytime, while an undead slaying,
+35% damage, 10% hit increase weapon will have a very high chance of
failure. Also, trying to enhance a weapon that has a high luck rating with
gold (to give it +40 more luck) can be tricky.

Well, in theory
And I haven't tried either, although my constraints are time rather than
material... you just make dragon scale armor using yellow scales and gold
ingots. Yellow scales are supposed to add 20 luck and decrease 3 points of
physical resistance. Gold increases physical by 1 (net loss of 2) and also
adds 40 luck. Plus, it enhances other resistances and lowers requirements
(this is handy if you don't have 90 str). I also theorize that using a
runic to make this armor will give it additional special random properties.
Again, I won't get to experiment with all this till later tonight.

Crafting dragon armor now only uses scales, doesn't use any metal. So you
can't get the additional metal properties. Gold dragon scale armor only
gives you 20 luck per piece.
Thus, dragon armor now completely sucks unless there is something about it
we haven't discovered yet.

Dragon Scale armor doesnt use ingots, BUT!!!!
Dig this people! I grabbed some yellow dragon scales and ingots to do a
lil experiment. First I created a gold platemail gorget, then tried to
enhance it with yellow scales. Doesnt work. Then I put the ingots BACK IN
THE CHEST (no ingots on me except iron!) I created a pair of yellow dragon
scale gloves. Stats are Luck 20, NO physical resist and 3% for each of the
elemental resists. Now, I changed the ingot type to verite. An AMAZING
thing happened. Keep in mind I dont have ANY ingots in my backpack except
iron! Then new yellow dragon scale gloves I crafted with the ingot type
set to verite have the following properties...
Luck 20
Physical 2%
Fire 3%
Cold 5%
Poison 3%
Energy 5%
So, I got the benefits of enhancing the yellow scale armor with verite
ingots, without using any ingots!
How do you make a small fortune in drag racing? Start with a big one!

Dragon scale doesn't suck, it just takes some gettiung used to.
Rather than equipping a full suit of one color, use a single piece to add
specifically a large amount of resistance. If you can make it
"exceptional" then the dragon scale can really shine.

I've attempted to enhance a few slayer weapons and succeeded with valorite
on my daemon mace (thank god) but failed on my undead broadsword and
gargoyle spear. I am too afraid to attempt enhancements to my other daemon
weapons without +gm smithing. Undead weapons should be enhanced with bronze
if u want to drop liches like they ain't no thang. If you just want to look
pretty, use a bronze runic hammer and you might get lucky enough to get a
blaze weapon with random property enhancements. Haven't tried to enhance
any armor yet, but haven't come across anything worth enhancing.

Hanse commented today here ,
Enhance 30+ total resist items with agapite, verite or valorite. You get
very high resistance armor with those items (40-48 total). This gets
warriors a high resistance set of armor. I haven't tried selling any extra
pieces yet, as most folks don't know what to value the armor that's
enhanced at.
I mixed my armor with valorite and barbed, though horned is very good for
hunting fire creatures and resisting flamestrikes and dragonbreath. 
Also, red scale armor is good for getting your fire resistance up for you
folks that want to bard/tame dragons.

Its all about How many bonuses the item has
The higher the level of Runic hammer u use or ore the more bonuses it tries
to add, if u take a weap that is already crazy bunus wise like Luck 60
Reflect Physical Dmg 10% Faster Cast:1 Physical 60% Fire 40% Cold 20%
Trying to add valorite bonuses or even verite which adds to 5 bonuses while
trying to randomly add 2 more is too much for the weapon to handle so odds
are it will break
