Again, I just don't want to spam make 10 gold jugs for a 25% bonus my on my melee stuff. Skills are not a barrier, they are a way of preventing people from instantly getting high end stuff. This is hardly incredible power, the woven vest is better. Oh no, the battle club does an extra 15 damage. We need to make this item harder to make than bluesteel!

Plus in melee armour is way more important, a doubled damage would be more balanced, someone in steel armour could completely wreck me.
