Well, when you get right down to it, gold is a lot like lead, heavy and soft. If we did make gold tools they would be worse than iron but better than stone. Solid gold would probably be about as heavy as bluesteel and about 1/4 as effective. Maybe because its so heavy and does more smashing than cutting a gold sword could ignore armor?How about improved slingshot ammo? (because everyone is going to use that) Really, other than for coins and high end tools, gold is only used for decoration. How about golden plates (item) for decorating tables and stuff, or golden boats? No, even better, a golden figurehead for big boats like the war sloop and merchant frigat!. Uhm... solid gold statues? solid gold buildings? solid gold...stuff and things. Ok I give up. GOLD IS NEARLY USELESS WUTHOUT A REAL CURRENCY SYSTEM!!!
