NPC and Player smithing.
Posted: 07 Dec 2017 22:40
So... I loved all stores that sell custom stuff.
Also I am a smith...
But is my impression, or NPC smithing is "good", not excellent, and Player smithing is outright mediocre at best?
Using a rating from 0 to 5...
Webcloth is rated 5 (just for reference).
Armours I bought so far from NPCs, if metal ones, tend to weight on the chest part around 7kg and have rating 2.8
Leather Armour from palanthas, is beautiful, has emotes, weights 2kg, and rating 2.
Platemail from smiths seemly tops at rating 3, and as you get more experienced, it just gets heavier, to the point you can end with a 13kg platemail that gives rating 3 of protection, it is for newbies at least, useless. Leather armour is waaaay better.
-----
for weapons: Palanthas has that one-handed weapon smith that make weapons rated aroudn 3. Tyr two handed weapons is aroudn 3.5 (but heavy) Player smithed weapon around 3.5 one (but not so heavy).
meanwhile weapons you can find, like draconic claymore, falchions, etc... easily surpass these smited weapons.
-----
So, Palanthas smith and leather armourer is awesome for newbies, due to reasonable stats whiel light weight... all other smiths, including player ones, to me look useless.
I am wrong in that?
Also any way to get beautiful custom metal armour? For RP reasons?
