I checked with the designers on this and it is not an exploit. According to Hanse, "This is as designed. This is so a player can use an ancient smithy hammer in conjunction with a runic hammer."
So there you go. Discuss.

Greetings xxxxxxxxxxx!
This is indeed something that is an exploit to do as it was not designed to work in this manner. We do not yet have a date for this to be corrected as it is not a gamestopping issue, however <font color=red>players should not be doing it as it was never intended</font color=red>.

Is it currently considered an exploit to
*snip*(description of method used here)*snip*? Such use does cost a charge from both hammers.
Additionally, is this considered an issue that will be corrected in the future to allow runics to be used while having an ASH equipped without being forced to
*snip*(description of method used here)*snip*?
Thank you,
