I know heartwood adds a random property to bows, but is there anything like this for enhancing with blacksmithing? Also, are runic tinker tools good for anything?

One more, which is better to enhance with? Horned or Barbed?

Unfortunately, blacksmithing needs to catch up in terms of bonuses. The material bonuses you get from blacksmithing don't even compare with the bonuses you get from wood. Blacksmithing simply breaks up your damage types, which is not really helpful, especially if you consecrate your weapon with chivalry. There were rumors that OSI is planning on changing the ore types to give bonuses that will put it on par with woods. Runic tinker tools are good to make jewelry as well as a few smaller weapons such as knives and cleavers.

Horned gives you higher base fire resists on your armor pieces so they are really good for necromancers or those who may be vulnerable to fire as it's a major resist next to physical. Barbed gives you 1 point extra of resist over horned leather, so if you make a full suit of barbed (About 6 or 7 pieces), you will have 6 or 7 more points of random resist over the same suit if made with horned leather.
