Platinum would be useless for smithing, possibly good for ringforging someday, but have a high resale value. Silver would be useful for certain swords, but since it's necessarily of lower value than gold nuggets, which are quite possibly the least useful form of mineral on the server, why bother? Silver would have to be of such ridiculously low use to make up for its relative rarity verses small gold nuggets, which every alchemist can make from anything...
I'd like to see the gemstones filtered into the mining thing. Diamonds, Sapphires, Rubies and Emeralds, all unidentified so Jewlers have a use for them.
I don't look forward to any weapons with greater than +9 damage. That's stupid, it's already pointless to wield any normal sword but diamond or any axe but vicious! I'd like to see a balance between power and speed, such that a katana with +5 is twice the speed of a +9 Diamond Sword, but the ganis don't support speedups without disposing of sound unfortunately...it'd mean essentially making a new weapon class for Fast Swords, in which the katana is king and using any other fastsword is silly...there's no individuality in weapon choices nowadays, only the hunt for great power. I'd be a much cooler elf fighting with a steel sword, but I'd also be a much weaker one...
