What's your definition of "best"?
Strongest bow, sharpest sword, most "powerful" "magical" "weapon", ....?
They are just... normal... people dontgetit some stronger, some maybe less strong than you are... better fighters, probably, but maybe less good at playing WoW or something

with a stronger health and worse teeth... no idea
The most effective, yes, as it's both light and extremely resistant against influences of all kinds... it is not the "best armour", though, as it has disadvantages insofar as it will probably attract a lot of attention on the battlefield and tons of people will be trying to kill you that wouldn't if you didn't have mithril in your armour
ah, "yes and no" is the best answer ever invented.
aww...I love my Exi hug you are too smart!
