Is the Iron Fist obsolete?

Explorer has 1000 golden only has 700

What boons make them work like armor?

It’s the venerable gum. It gives the Armor Buff… Hard as Nails…

I gave my roommate an explorer fist as his first weapon. It was forged with extra durability and damage. He even used it on hunts on a T3. He prefers it over a slingbow.
If I have them, I tend to give the unforged ones away to new players.

I still use them, forged with the extended reach… to gather goo from high cave roofs on Exos

That is a really damn good idea! How the heck did I not think of this

@Crete

I don’t make them much anymore, but they sure do some damage

I make them and have them forged for me. When I saw you original post on this I loved it. They are cheaper to make than gem bows. If it takes me 2 or 3 hits to kill them so be it.

If durability is better on iron, I would think they would be superior to gold if being used as a loot/armor fist… (which I is what I use fists for.) …the armor is what consumes the durability.

That is such an amazing piece of information! The iron fists work perfectly as glow loot magnets with armor.

This is also a great idea
