Like the title says I just got the forge upgrade and started making the heavy plate artifact and it is taking forever to complete. I have been running between the library and bastard city and over a month has passed ingame but its still not done. Does it just take forever or do I have to be gaining new experience to advance the crafting time. I saw a text box for those npcs int he stronghold that collect items for you saying something about gaining experience adventuring to get new items, so I wonder if that is the reason. I hope not because I was making the armor to trade for the silent archive since none in my party use heavy armor and there are no more enemies until I advance the story past the library

...and even then I belive forging and library researching time is too long.
Game just provokes me to exploit and just running around without any real meaning just to wait until crafting is over.

What difficulty are you playing on?
I'm playing on normal and I've just started my upgrades as well. However I will continue questing instead of moving between cities because I don't feel I
need the new gear now to progress.

What difficulty are you playing on?
Normal, and I have my personal preferences on "slow safe battles". So maybe if you're playing hard, taking wounds all around, it actually can looks better, you right.

I guess as the difficulty is raised you may need to maximize using every utility in the game but on story/normal mode I'm pretty sure you can finish the game without getting fully geared in artifacts.

You have to gain experience to make it start then it takes like 3-5 days for it to complete you can do this by moving between areas.

Thanks, I found an unused dialogue option with one of my party members that gave me a skill up option and then 4 days of travel later I got my item produced.
