Hey folks-
First, I went looking for a build section on this, but did not find it.
I finally, FINALLY got a successful skill roll to improve my weapon using the mythal forge. Now, I have also dumped as many job points as I can in to Weapon Smithing, but according to the role, my job ranks had nothing to do with it, just my weapon crafting skill ranks.
So what exactly are the armor/weapon smithing job ranks good for, if not mythal forging?

Mythal forging.

The Job system Armorsmith/Weaponsmith has nothing to do with Mythal forging, to my knowledge.

Rather, they can create custom armors/weapons out of Job system-produced metal ingots using their respective Job system anvils. They can also (I think) copy over the properties from an existing item to a Job system produced item of the same time. (Ex. Move the properties from a suit of magical full plate, onto the "blank" suit of full plate made from mithril ingots - but not into a different kind of armor, or a different type of equipment.)

You could then use your Craft Weapon/Craft Armor skill to Mythal on properties using the Mythal forge, but the Armorsmith/Weaponsmith Job does not have any influence this part of the process.

Mind you if you ever look to request a special weapon we dms always like when your jobs support your story as it's a bit more interesting than putting a bunch of skill modifiers on your gear.

<--- I'm blown away! i did not know that was a even a possibility! Cool!

Thanks to everyone else for clarifying the job ranks vs. mythal forge.

One more question: is there anywhere in game to find what materials are needed to create certain weapons?

Just search for "Weapon" or "Armor" and you will see what you need to create the different types of armor/weapons
