it's a rule made by a bureaucrat EvilShogun with the rationale of "we don't want noobs getting mithril and mushrooms"

yeah, it's pointless. last time i asked him to take away that rule he told me to write an essay on why to consider it.

oh wait, you mean bluesteel. i remember halofan telling us to never ever reveal the bluesteel recipe or else you'll get b& because he wanted people to discover it themselves. given that an actual editor said that it holds more weight i'd rather not be able to play than to actually post it on this site.

anyone feel free to correct me because i certainly agree that both rules are terrible and i may have misremembered something typed
