Actually the coolest read on the forum, continue :slightly_smiling_face:
Wasn’t there a problem with bronze weapons bending easily and losing sharpness? In game this would be reflected by already existing mechanics of lower durability…

Stone/Bone>Bronze>Iron>Steel>Tempered/Pattern-welded/“Hardened” Steel>Starmetal

I agree with this path, I don’t even know if the Star Metal should be there, maybe as some rare, arcane thing. “The secret of steel” should be THE thing :wink:
Should for example obsidian be the endgame? Or maybe some kind of improved stone weapon…?
And as far as I know, the star metal was just normal iron extracted from asteroids by ancient cultures who did not discover iron mining yet?

Going back to pearls and gems, you guys are right, but to make things even more complicated, there are pearls and pearls as there are gems and gems… You can buy a diamond for 100 and there are diamonds worth hundreds of millions…
