The only difference is material/method to improve, some bronze bows floating around are actually worse than there willow counterpart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Advantages to tools made out of unusual or unique materials: Might be easier to improve, depending on the material. For instance, I'd rather improve something made out of iron than bronze. This is one reason I like my gold dioptra; high QL gold isn't exactly common, but it's better than having to deal with metallurgy. Training skills using tools not normally associated with that skill. For instance, improving a wooden backpack uses logs and carpentry tools, but still gives leatherworking skill. Avoiding some material properties, like flammability. I have an iron small barrel; I have no idea if it even fits in an oven or forge, but if it does, it won't burn up like a normal barrel. Not strictly related to material, but sometimes GM-spawned items have different weight or size as well. For example, the supreme tin shovel I have from the labyrinth event fits in a pottery jar (!) and weighs 0.50kg less than a normal shovel. Vanity. They're unique, and people as a rule like weird, unique stuff. Edited December 30, 2016 by Ostentatio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
