Rose Gold Suggestion

7 posts in this topic

Hello,I am making a suggestion for a Rose Gold Hammer. I think it would be very nice to have a pretty little Rose Gold Hammer on my Rose Gold Anvil within my Anvil collection. Bronze is the closest match currently to it, but I don't think it looks entirely right (left brain hemisphere?) lol having 2 of the same hammers on different anvils down my row. I understand this may bring up other dilemmas though, like "if we can make Rose Gold Hammers, why can't we make other Rose Gold Tools" etc.... etc..., but currently I think it's a little bit weird that we can make Rose Gold Anvils, but not put it's respective Hammer on top of it. It would be awesome if we could do this! I love having things color coated. =)-firebluefreak

I think the real question is why do Rose Gold anvils exist in the first place?

 

Gold is weaker than copper, so an alloy 2.3-5.7 gold/copper alloy is going to be weaker than copper

 

Gold is rarer than copper, so a rose gold anvil makes little sense to have even as a tier 1 anvil, let alone as a tier 2 anvil

 

Unless of course its strength is due to magical forces created by the alloy, for some reason

Tin is weaker than copper but bronze is not

Rose gold anvils only exist because it is a tier 2 alloy that can be obtained purely by panning as an absolute last-ditch effort when you can't find the stuff to make the other bronzes. It is much more likely for rose gold anvils to be removed, rather than for hammers to be added.

The properties of of an alloy are only loosely related to the properties of the constituents- more important is how the two interact and the structure they form. Carbon isnt even a metal, and only a small amount (0.8 - 2%) can radically change the properties of iron, which becomes steel. Steel is both tougher and harder than iron (qualities that are usually exchanged for one another).

The thought of panning enough material to make a Rose Gold anvil made me wince.

 

I have used Rose Gold anvils as a means of progression before. It doesn't matter if gold is rarer than copper worldwide; only the rarity of what's around you matters. If you happen to plop near a rich gold surface vein, you might as well use it for something.

Well really a Rose Gold anvil is just bad from a educational standpoint.

 

Having a tier 2 anvil teaches people who don't know any better that if you alloy gold with minor amounts of copper you get a anvil equivalent to bronze when in reality it would be weaker than copper

 

From a realism perspective gold is kind of useless for non aestetic or monetary purposes without electricity

 

Of course if you add enchantments, you can give it high enchantibility, or in the case of TFC making it part of Red Steel makes sense
