Hey /k/ I'm making a JRPG and I want to know if this order

I don't think the majority of those materials are used in the construction of a rocket propelled grenade

I know RPG, role playing game. I'm a lvl 7 wizard in dungeons and dragons.

What's a jrpg?

Also I was an infantryman and there's literally nothing you can protect yourself with for 30 dollars. Drink 30 dollars worth of alcohol and hope you don't get shot.

Same thing, but JAPAN!

Alright fucko, Bronze was the weapon of choice for everyone for an entire era, hench the "bronze age," you will never find any society that used fucking brass, silver, or jade as serious weaponry.

Also, obsidian indeed is very sharp, but it's also very brittle and would become completely useless if it ever came in contact with any sort of steel, shirt of maille means you're basically using a wooden club.

>>33106677
Flint: Can be sharper than you might expect, but blades are fragile and take a lot of time and specialized skill to make.
Copper/brass: Soft, won't hold a good edge, but can be repaired by someone without much skill so they can last longer than flint.
Bronze: Also can be sharper than many people might expect, but tents to dull quickly and is heavy. Much more durable than stone or copper though. Bronze swords are still pretty effective against opponents without armor, but you don't want to smack one into iron or steel, especially edge-to-edge contact. Relatively expensive, especially in a pre-modern setting.
Iron: Cheaper than bronze, has mostly similar properties. Iron swords are noted for being easily bent in combat, with the wielder bending them back into shape and resuming the fight.
Steel: There's a huge variance in quality of different steels, with some being barely distinguishable from iron, some being hard but brittle, and the best steels being both strong and flexible. A good high-quality springy steel is what you want for any cutting weapon, avoid stainless for anything but utility knives. Takes a lot of metallurgical knowledge to get the alloying right, and is only cheap if you have the proper, mid-late-medieval blast furnace manufacturing to support mass production.
Glass/obsidian: Almost useless for weapons, the cultures that did use obsidian weapons had nothing better and understood how absurdly fragile it was, and used many small replaceable blades to make up for it shattering in one hit.
Titanium: Ridiculously expensive and demanding of high-tech processes to make, and not flexible enough for swords. Even as hard as it is it'll still snap in combat. Completely pointless if you have steel, and if you can't make steel there's no way you can get titanium.

desu, I would do something like:

Wood/Flint
Bronze
Steel

And because you have creative license just make items after steel quality "Mastercrafted", "Enchanted","Legendary" or just unique in some way.

Unfortunately, melee weapons stopped getting better when metal became better suited for making bullets.

You could also do shit like "iron, steel, crucible steel, etc."

The natives were stone age with regard to weapons.

>>33106677
Obsidian is sharp as fuck but it is also too brittle to be used against armour

>>33106677
try this instead...

Armor
>none
>wicker/bamboo
>cloth
>leather
>bronze
>iron/steel
-scale, ring, plate

weapons
>fists
>primitive (rock/stick/bone)
>bronze
>iron
>steel

STEEL FOR HUMANS

SILVER FOR MONSTERS

Only because it was pretty, not because it was particularly good. The majority of Patu were made of whalebone or greywacke, its just that comparatively few of them survive as they weren't as prized as greenstone ones. I guess they were like the katana of pre-colonial Maori.
