Tool vs Weapon does not make sence

[jogene1964]

a crude iron ax made from 1 stick and 1 ax head. A one hand battle ax is made of same ax head . hardwood handle and rope the weapon cost more to make does the nearly the same damage and has a lower durability. on top of that i can't chop a tree with it so why would i make the weapon? shouldn't the hardwood handle be more durable? shouldn't a weapon do more damage than the tool version. just saying give me a reason to spend more to make the weapon or get rid of it. while your at it my small sword still breaks to iron bar not iron blade i don't need to recycle swords into rakes when they break i need a new sword.

It doesnt make sense. The only reason to make the actual weapon variant is because villagers assigned to barracks wont patrol with the tool version, only the weapon.

In my opinion that should just make them the same durability.

I found out that weapon VS tool does a difference and the higher combat skill the more difference.

at start i thought as you that the wood shopper axe was as good as the battle axe but later with more combat skill found out that they does have different dmg multiplier from your combat skill.

at lvl ~30+ something combat skill the 1h iron wood cutting axe does like half the damage of the 1h iron battle axe to a training dummy. so i guess they have some hidden multiplier with your skills.

Tools = weapon dmg + (1x combat skill)
Weapons = wepaon dmg + (2x combat skill)

or something similar

my 1h iron wood cutter axe does like 16-30 dmg to a training dummy
while the 1h combat iron axe does a constant 60-70dmg
also think the crit chance may be different but may just be more lucky with the crits so cant say if thats a thing or not.

maybe some dev can confirm or deny if this the actual difference or not or if it actualy has something that makes them different.
