Obviously this is an absolutely tiny sample size but for the 1st time ever i was making Kunwu Irons, broke and didnt lose any Kunwu ore. Then making a bunch of random stuff noticed when i did break and lose items. None of them were smithing items. Always a leather or a cloth. As i said, this was a total of about 8 breaks so nothing even close to concrete. Just an observation.
