I like a secondary use for them. I don't like that use being iron bars. Primarily because I don't like iron bars being on the crafting menu making new players think that is how they get them instead of proper smelting.


How about a craftable with whetstones. Depending on the purity of the stone it sharpens butcher knives, and reduces the wear on them according to the purity of the whetstone in question.

How's about an inspirational when sharpening blades that has a small spawn rate like amber resin with wooden boards, like "iron shards" or some sort that give c&d, and m&m.

Yeah something of the sort just like when you whittle wood it leaves wood chippings working on the anvil with metal would in turn leave some type of metal scrap behind, but of course the metal pieces would be much more uncommon, or if they have a high spawn rate, then a low level inspiration.

Should give a chance to break the weapon. The broken blade becomes a new combat related insperation

A bit too harsh I think considering most people will be using this on store-bought weapons.

What if blades could gather wear like knives and be sharpened with whetstones? If the wear gets too high there's a chance the blade will break completely while in combat. I need a use for all the spare swords and weapons I have stored up in my armory :twisted: .

I came up with an idea of exclusive dinner club in Providence. That would work so that you can only enter a building with enough affiliance and there would be dinner tables for your gluttony session. That way you could get some benefit from your awesome clothes and bigger backpacks as you need to carry the food there. You also face the risk to get your food stolen by fellow club members ;).

As the tables are liftable there should be some way to prevent the theft. Other option would be to make a raised patio with dinner tables (like the chess area). More uses for your high end clothes and backpacks!
