I noticed that many characters (mostly elves) have mithril weapons, armor, etc. No offense, but a mithril sword would be very valuable, as Frodo's mail (which Bilbo had earned) was worth a small fortune. I just don't know how a random elf could persuade their kind to allow them to wield such a weapon. I'm just suggesting moderation. My good friend Aemornion is an example of a character with perfectly passable mithril possessions. A Gondorian helmet (guides to Middle Earth mention Gondorian helmets being made of mithril) and a small belt clip. (which can be explained as being bought at great price) I don't want to spoil your fun, but mithril is a rare and very valuable metal. It's not likely there would be elves alive in the Fourth Age who somehow obtained weapons or armor without paying a large amount of money. (or bartering, if you don't think elves had money...)

of course it is rare and you don`t find it just anywhere, or at least this is my view also since it would be stupid if every elf would have a mithril weapons...

Well...I agree with you on your veiwpoint...but I also think that my character, since she is a royal, would have a sword of fine metal...plus mithril is the most widely known metal of LotR...

Yeah that's true..I think that elves would have more of mithril...but dwarves should have more mithril than the elves..
