Sorry!!There are too many pages of replies here.Hope I'm not repeating myself.
Here's my problem.I just can't seem to compound a goblin halberd or a ghost halberd.I compound skeleton iron sword with vertical wing and I get iron adze every time.I've been using primary alchemy cos secondary alchemy gives a wood based weapon like a gavel and my primary alchemy is lvl 7.

You're not gonna believe this but I've tried over 25 times.What am I doing wrong?An iron adze is rank 9.Very low!!
