So SE... Them gear/weapon designs....

Well, you are actually comparing two completely different kind of items; the first one is a unique drop from Stone Vigil (all items that are green or better are unique in design, although I suppose the design might be reused in other similar items), the second one is an Aetherial item, which basically just uses a crafted item (in this care, Yew Longbow) as a base with upgraded stats.

At least to my understanding.

Vanity system?

Ya this.

Most things in the game looks good but only stats matter now. Once Vanity is added we can have the stats we want with the look we want.

You are correct.
Wich is why I really hope there is a unique bow aswell in Darkhold, with a very unique design.
