Whelp, I can answer question 2. By not having to rummage through a backpack full of rubbish for my arrows each time I want to shoot, I can load them into the bow faster. It also provides a more fluid motion for loading the bow. The 60% reload decrease is realistic.

And I like FredyFly's idea the most. Take away a huge chunk of the cost and make it aesthetic. I certainly hate making strong armours that slow me down in a fight, just so I don't have to wander around with my sword out and make me look like a mass murderer. If I could just have a way to show that I am a bluesteel user without spending a ton on even more bluesteel for armour that is rather counter-productive in a battle, I would certainly spend a piece of iron on that.

And for chiefs comment on how unrealistic it is, by keeping the sword in a sheath it means that it is not corroded by natural forces, and is instead as shiny and sharp as ever when you pull it out and kill the angry battle club wielding nub. Well, other things are less realistic. Like how you can drink a full glass of deadly poison, then eat a single flower and live. Or how the rockma waterfall doesn't work with buckets or drinking. Or how wells don't fall down when they are left unsupported in the air. And for a 10% bonus, this may actually work as a realistic option.
