i think your case might have been discussed in this thread but idk i just skimmed through it
viewtopic.php?f=42&t=49630edit: okey so steel > bronze > iron, but your bronze sword is of much higher q than your other sword, and I do not know the base damage of the 2 swords. I'd say that you would be better off using the bronze sword because of its much higher quality which would most likely end up doing more damage despite the lower base damage (equations on RoB

Could someone plz correct me if I am wrong
