No there are no material bonuses for weapons. The only bonus's are magic and exceptional. Both magical and exceptional can be stacked with runic hammers from bod rewards.
ok do the different colored ingots help with armor rating ?
Im pretty sure better ingots increase the durability only for weapons if I remember correctly.No there are no material bonuses for weapons. The only bonus's are magic and exceptional. Both magical and exceptional can be stacked with runic hammers from bod rewards.
Some items do not show a difference because they give such low AR to begin with.i just built iron ringail gloves, then shadow ringmail gloves... tried one on and then the other, both only do 2 points of armour.
Your fighting skill also comes into play when determining a piece of armors AR rating. Low fighting skill means that the AR ratings likely won't be as much different as if your fighting skill was GM
What? My smith with 0 skills shows the same AR as my dexer.....
