It can be viewed like that, but the fact is bluesteel is completely devoid of any ranged weapons made of it (the javelin is the same as a regular crossbow, which is much cheaper, so I hardly count it).

When the Yewbeam bow was first added, there was no bluesteel. It was effectively mithril tier, being made of mithril and having damage comparable to high end mithril tools. That made the crossbow steel tier, along with every other ranged weapon their own corresponding tier. Ranged weapons are simply OP, with damage of the tier above yet being made of lesser metal. The fact a Yewbeam bow is as good as a bluesteel weapon doesn't make it a bluesteel weapon, for the metal will always be purple, no matter the damage it deals.

All I really ask is a ranged use for bluesteel. The bluesteel crossbow just rather fits that. You have everything almost pre-planned, with steel having its own unique crossbow, so the upgraded steel should get an upgraded crossbow and so forth, and what I want to know is:

Why not?
