Guild Wars 2

We need a bit of fun in here.

So now that we can craft ascended weapon, we have weapons which require alot of material.
I just did some calculation on how much ore it takes for Zojja’s Blade:

• 810 iron ore
• 360 platinum ore
• 450 mithril ore

Unlike legendary weapons, we do not throw them towards Zommoros in order to get something back.
We use these materials to craft a weapon, so this material is somewhere in that blade.
The blade must weight more than your average wrecking ball, which are between 0.5 and 8 metric tons of weight.

I mean what are we swinging there, and how are we doing this and why exactly isn’t each and everything we hit with it not immediately crushed to bits?

You’re forgetting that all that stuff condenses down into 9 or so bars of deldrimor steel. It takes a whole lot of crappy metals (Iron, Steel, Darksteel and Mithril) smelted together with the vast majority discarded because it’s not of the required quality. The remaining 9 ingots of Deldrimor Steel are made of a miniscule amount of all the materials in your list and is basically all the good stuff which you’d find miniscule amounts of in an average bar of iron or whatever.

It’s game. That simple

Maybe it’s like extracting plutonium from uranium, and then further purifying it. Similar huge amounts of base materials only to produce the smallest of output materials.

I think it’s meant to be an expression of an extractive process.

How many freight cars of ore does Alcoa take in and how many freight cars of aluminum flow out in a given year? Raw boxite ore loses 27% of mass due to impurities before being shipped off as boxite ore proper. It takes 5 to 7 tons of boxite ore to produce 1 ton of aluminum. That aluminum soda can was kinda heafty before all that processing!

I really hope that we’re wielding plutonium weapons.

A wizard did it.

We should take into consideration that these weapons are enchanted with things that will make us stronger and stuff like making us heal more or get tougher. So it must be during the crafting that it also got enchanted to be as light as possible even the tiniest Asura can wield the heaviest greatswords.
