Head Crabs Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Not a theory this time! We have several instances where dalinar ponders the wisdom of only having shardplate and blade for people who are warriors. Particularly when he decides to dig a latrine instead of meeting up with navani. Let's just assume that we're working with some dead spren blades and plate to avoid any of the ethical obligations revolving around being a radiant. What kinds of jobs do you think could be made easier/safer with the use of a full set of shards? Do you work anywhere that could really use a set of shards? My first instinct was mining (not a long journey, i know) purely for the potential protection from cave-ins and the precision of a shardblade for sampling or testinng areas of rock for excavation. What dangerous work, and why? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Crabs Posted October 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Azir doesnt appear to have the same hang ups as alethkar does, they rented shardearers/blades Spoiler (it says blades in edgedancer but i have to imagine that the man bonded to it comes along to swing it for you? Or did they equip a team of miners with priceless relics?!) to carve out the city of Yeddaw approximately 100 years ago. Im going to assume that people everywhere have different traditions relating to who can use them and how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walin he/him Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Rock climbing-wait that's not a job Lumber cutting, the Plate in case you say "Timber!" too late Tug of rope-wait that's not a job Building stuff real fast, Shardplate for lifting and Shardblade for cutting stuff into sections fast If it was a Spoiler living Shardblade then gemstone cutting would be remarkably efficient-make a Spoiler Sharddagger or sommat.
