Howdy folks. Darkstone now has stats making it kind of a very-easy steel. A new metal called Muracite was also introduced that is a very-easy steel for making armor with.
The thought is, sometimes you want to make X, but even with Bronze it is too difficult. If you can come up with enough of this rare metal, you can successfully make it, at the cost of a tiny bit of durability. Steel is still technically better, but the workability boost should aid young smiths especially when it comes to Hard work orders. Oh, and these metals are worth about 4 times more than steel so they'll pay better.
Hopefully now folks can get rid of some of their darkstone!

I'm worried about April Fools jokes too, but (and this is why I am partial to thinking its April Fool's joke) is that he has been entirely to straight and on task, so I think he may be screwing with us. Just in good April Fools fashion.

A deed for a darkstone ingot reads:
Metallurgical Properties
Quality: 92 (somewhat pure)
Volume: 8
Hardness: 85 (very hard)
Workability: 75 (rather easy to work with)
Durability: 50 (decent durability)
ThermalResist: 35 (great at transfering heat and cold)
ElectricResist: 70 (not a very good conductor of electricity)
PhysicalResist: 75 (very good at repelling physical blows)
Hardness used to be 82 and Workability was 40. Believe at least he is telling the truth today, can't say the same for every other announcement though.

Looks like everything changed, really.
Kinda wish it was 85 physical, though, so it could be a good steel alternative for armor, too.
