Ferring

[Hoid the Former Drifter House Lord]

If you could be a ferring, what would you choose?

 

Probably iron, because if you are light enough, you can fly.

[Karger Unmade]

Brass.

[Honorless Lord Ruler]

Probably iron, it's useful while tapping and while storing

[Quantus Knight Radiant]

Copper all day long.

This, or gold. It's close.

Objectively, having a goldmind would probably the most useful as it could literally save my life in an emergency (I've been hit by a car while on a bike in my life in an incident that could well have turned out much worse for me), but being able to tap a zincmind would make my day to day life so much more interesting. And filling it wouldn't be as annoying as filling a goldmind - just do it while I'm watching "Nailed It!" on Netflix or something else relatively mindless.

I would camp in the Library for a week, after which I would know ALL the things. 

A lot of my job involves tracking down technical information for various engineering solutions, not to mention a habit of starting a new hobby every third week.  Being able to download all those various buckets of information at need and Neo-style would be fantastic.  Especially in an early industrial society like scadrial

Its very though to choose one power. But bronze can be cool.

All of them.

If I had to pick one bronze.

Then steel.

not an option. The title is FERRING, after all.

Gold. I have a healthy sense of self-preservation.

[HSuperLee Full Shardbearer]

Copper, by far, followed by gold, then bendalloy.

[Raphaborn Arbiter]

Sentry. 

[Hoidolasium Lighteyes]

Steel or Zinc, I'm still not clear what advantage Zinc actually has over Steel.

[Stormtide_Leviathan Silent Gatherer]

Copper or Bronze seem the most applicable to my every day life, but Chromium, Pewter, and Steel I could have a lot of fun with

[trav Forescout]

hard pick. some stuff is pretty straight forward while Chromium for example is very vague.

 

Zinc.

sounds like a good idea to put your mind into idle mode when its not needed and be a quick thinker when necessary.

 

Gold seems like a good idea at first glance, but I dread the idea of feeling sick most of the time so I can heal injuries quicker. at least not in a life where injuries are very unlikely to be lifethreatening. people pick gold cause you could recover from stuff that would otherwise kill or maim you which is understandable. these events are rare enough that I'd rather pick another ability that is more likely to effect my life positively.

The thing is, I'd still pick Gold. I would be fine spending time feeling super sick and tapping just a little bit at a time after to have that little extra boost of good health. Even non major injuries would be nice to heal up a little faster. And it would just be nice to know you had some health stored up in case you had to do something risky

Sentry. I have awful sleep schedules.
