With the release of the new update and reforging, I have noticed that it is completely random what modifiers you get, and most people would like at least a slight amount of control when reforging, perhaps not complete, but at least an ability to guide the forging.

First, whetstones. Rather simple, while I do not know of what they are precisely other than a stone used to sharpen (I would assume it has some sort of grit on it to sharpen the sword) and therefore cannot recomend a recipe, i believe the community will likely have some information on that if the mod team needs help. My suggestion is that these stones, when you are in an anvil, may be used in place of an additional tool in the top slot and increase the chance for sharpness modifiers, and perhaps eliminate completely the chance for negative sharpness modifiers while decreasing chances for other good modifiers and increasing chances for other negative modifiers minimally.

Second, specialists. This is essentially making it so that smiths and traders who can reforge will have a random chance to specialize in certain areas, and upon request you can increase chance to get specific modifier types from them while decreasing the chance for others, similar to whetstones, but not limited to only sharpness. On another note it could rather be a simple message at the top of the smith GUI saying "I specialize in improvements" and be locked at that with no specialization having no label.
