Ducateon Weathering

Steel Realms
Ducateon Weathering is a alloying of steel that prevents rust AND corrosion (they are immune to the “Battleworn” condition) that is a closely guarded secret of the war smiths of the Ducateon of the Steel Realms. Also called “green weathering”, it combines the combination of chromium, copper, nickel, and phosphorous and it causes the item to take on a faint green glint. Additionally, a coating of Duxamet is applied to weapons edges while not in use. The warriors of Mizras especially prize these items. Base weapons are non-magical, and the most common of the Ducateon armaments.
COST = 300% (min 100sc) to non-Ducateon followers of Horus, Irkribu and Mizras, 400% to others.

Duxamet: This super fine “steel powder” is made from the leftovers of Ducateon Weathering. It uses finely powdered Ducateon Crystals that have been Battlesung, each time the edge is sharpened or surface cleaned it is applied.
COST = 200sc
