100% Elemental Weapons

I hope this isn't a repost. Most of the topics I found on google were a few years old (except for one in 2017).

I've been trying to make a 100% elemental damage weapon. I saw the steps for this were:

1.) Create the weapon with the basic smith hammer. I made this with regular iron ingots.
2.) Use a shadow runic hammer to reforge with Power Reforging --> Grand Artifice --> Inspired Artifice --> Exquisite Quality

So I've now burned through 5 shadow runic hammers with every weapon I've crafted having 100% physical. I'm trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong, or if the RNG is not on my side. So a few questions:

1.) Do I need blacksmith on my character? I saw somewhere on google that blacksmith wasn't required.
2.) Should I keep arms lore on, or does it matter?
3.) Is regular iron okay when crafting the weapon?

Also, I play on a freeshard, but it's supposed to be up to date with official servers. So I think the mechanics of making these weapons should be the same.

Anyways, thanks! :)

hi there, just saw your post on elemental weps. You only need smith/lore to make weps out of regular iron, with exceptional bonus applied +40% dam increase. You will need imbue char to reforge them, that char does not need to have any craft skills but imbue. Also, if you get some that not 100% elem, you can enhance the item with dif types of ore, like copper gives +40% fire to the weapon, makes your +70% fire reforged double axe now a 100% fire and so on, just look at the metal bonuses. This only works for smithing weps. Fletching is entire different beast, process though somewhat similar, enhancement is really different.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I must have really bad luck then. :)

Freeshard and OSI do not have the same RNG when it come to reforging.   It was easy to use craft with DC that forgorging,  that was sad
