I remember burning swords, burning shields and I've seen waving 1h swords, but I couldn't tell you the whole list and I'd like to be able to add that to our site.
the ones I know
living dagger, pike, and spear
electric mace, electric 2h mace, and spear
burning long sword/2h axe and 1h axe
shocking 1h sword, dagger, and long sword
shocking/waving/living/electric buckler
burning launcher
living rifle

AFAIK, only the skin. Same number of mats, same stats as the equivalent high quality (e.g. a fyros HQ pike is as good as a living, provided using the same PR mats). The main difference is that patterns cost you 100sp, and that (imho) they are bugged since beta, but can't be changed without a big player scream. Let me explain

since beta, I always thought it was clearly a bug, that racial weapons should be available at lvl 200 and only for the branch you leveled. Wierd things:
* why do I need to level all armor parts to 150, and leveling 1 weapon lets me get all 'related' -e.g. 2h- racial weapons?.
* so if I'm 150 in 2H sword crafting, I can get the Matis living pike and not the high quality pike, unless I'm 150 in pike crafting.
* The med quality patter requires learning the basic, and the high one, the medium. For racial there is no prereqs
* what's the point of learning Matis High Quality Long Sword?
* If I level spear crafting to 150, I can learn the living dagger plan and use it to craft daggers, thus reducing the number of clicks, rhater than using the basic and medium patterns till I learn the high quality at 150.
etc, etc
