Marienburg Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Is there some benefit to higher weight that I'm missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) It's the cost of the labour that is used to make the weapon heavier. Also, I guess you could make a heavier weapon to stop a better unit from doubling (and killing) an enemy, in order to allow one of your weaker units to get the kill EXP.

ping Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 It's just for consistency. Any change you make to the base weapon increases the price, even if it's negative. Realistically, there's never a point in using your money (and opportunity to forge) to get a weaker, less accurate, and/or heavier weapon.

X-Naut Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 You're adding more material to the weapon, if anything it's the most sensible penalty to have to pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OuendanCyrus Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 If a weapon is made of sturdier material, such as steel over iron, why is it easier to break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In FE, it's usually for balancing purposes, i.e. Steel and Silver Swords having fewer uses than Iron to offset their higher attack power despite iron being less durable than steel IRL. Granted, Three Houses changes this and makes Steel weapons more durable than Iron ones as one would expect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same series where weapons made out of silver are the strongest one can find, despite Silver being a notably soft and malleable metal. I don't think real world metal properties matter much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousSpeed Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 It costs more because you literally have to add more material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
