    @neonglowmusic4 years ago It' s interesting to see these older episodes.
    kill test (or lack of) in this, it' s neat to see how much more challenging the tests are now, and of course, the production value has improved a lot.

  • @
    @adam3463 years ago I really want them to do a bronze weapon challenge. All these steel blades are really cool but you cannot cheap-out on bronze. Either you do it right id="hidden8" or you don' t. Would also have to mix their own tin and copper as part of it. Then forge or cast it (most likely cast it) would require different talents all together and would make for a neat challenge imo. You can also vary the amount of tin leading to harder edges with high-tin concentrates and lower tin cores for more durability.
    also, don' t they typically do three tests? I am guessing there was an issue with the third and they didn' t broadcast it?
