One positive note about crafting...

A hammer that is 6 levels higher means that you are using a hammer that is intended for someone with a higher skill level than you. You don't have the skills to use it to its full potential yet, so of course your results won't be as good.

sorry,if i hand you a iron hammer,and say (use it for a couple weeks,then a steel hammer,then a steel/fiber hammer) do you really think,you hit your thumb more often with the steel/fiber then with the iron? its not logic.

basically, 14 lvl lower item .. gives more bonus,then 6 lvl higher (that's one too high) , i guess fanboys cannot even think with reason. (small hint, 14 lvl more far then 6) ..if you still don't get it,maybe you find a "math for beginners-tut" somewhere.

Yeah... 6 levels ABOVE your level, I dont see the problem, ¿You want realism? You are using a tool that you dont fully understand how to use until you gain 6 more levels, of course it gives less stats that something you already know how to use.

And yes, characters are retarded and dont know how to use hammers, WELCOME TO A VIDEOGAME

Say we had rank requirements on everything instead, you wouldn't even be allowed to hold a hammer that's higher than your rank. Does that make any logical sense? Not really but tons of games do it and no one cares because there is a reason for it.

With your logic, if you had your way every crafter would just be running around with the highest rank equipment because logically it should give you the best bonuses. At that point there's literally no reason to have the level 1-49 equipment around. Thankfully you're not a game developer.
