I thought so too, but when took a closer look, I found some good craftable options. I think the problem lies in blacksmith’s UI which isn’t too attractive, so player doesn’t want to spend much time there:
- it presents a long list in a short window,
- provides no way of sorting or filtering,
- the most important issue - doesn’t show comparison tooltips for your current weapons (I suggested this in Show comparison for blacksmith’s items over a year ago).
