now that's a player made weapon i'm talking bout.

[grossbottom]

No recommended or req'd level?

[Maddoc-the-Wayfarer]

Recommended/Required level restrictions will be added to these items the next time we update the servers.

They are for the 50+ crowd, so expect the Recommended Level restrictions to start there.

Not bad, as a twinkage weapon, but nothing to write home about, either. I hope some other weapons compare favorably to other, easy-to-acquire or make weapons, or these will be largely unused by the player base.

Does it seem odd that in the GoD expansion, which introduces a new 2HS class, the beserker, that a new 2HS weapon is not Beserker flagged?

Trivial 232 as well ~_~

[Arhallia]

These weapons are both velium bladed and hilted? or are they just one of the two?

I'm curious because it seems odd that our first weapon stats would come from items that require *two* pale nihilite, rather than just one.

Presumably the weapons with the regular nihilite, and the shimmering steel, will be superior in quality to these -- and the difficulty/rarity of those drops will probably be obscene.

[Aina]

I did put two hihilite in each combine, and 2 enchanted velium bars, I had 4 and decided that youd get better stats outta more components used, and thats why I made those.

[Daikoku Ashikaga]

I've got to study it a bit more, but there appearsno reason to do this other then skilling up (But with enchanted velium, why?, too expensive) with a 50~ rec level you are competing with weighty polearms and ttcp, both like dirt cheap.

BUT you need to look closer......

The weapons you mentioned above do NOT have two augmentation slots, these do. So given that fact, these GOD items are infact better in the long run.

So you can have a two handed blade with Flowing Thought II and Anger III (type 7 and type 4 Augs) which for say a Shadowknight is a pretty darn nice weapon. Until Gates, there are NO tradable multi-slotted blades in the game AFAIK.

Pale Velium Bastard Sword:

2hs:

Str 12, Wis 12, Int 12, Agi 12, Sv fire cold magic 10

Flowing Thought II (worn)

Slot 1, Marble Sphere of Ice
Slot 2, Pristine Prisim of Lucidity

(Yeah I know, most normal people wont put 2600 AP worth of augs into a 24/30 blade, BUT this only illustrates that it is possible and does make this blade more valuable)

[Daikoku Ashikaga]

Lets be a bit more realistic, a level 51 SK

aug type 4 75p DD from everfrost 100ap



Tae Ew Two Hand Sword
Damage: 34 Delay: 35
Damage Bonus: 38 (lvl 65)
Str: +6 Wis: +6 Int: +6 Disease Resist: +14 Poison Resist: +14 HP: +100 Mana: +25
Weapon Skill: Two Hand Slash
Classes: Ranger Paladin Shadowknight Warrior
Type 4 aug.

meaning that it only lacking the type 7 aug

the level 51 could solo/duo everything for the Tae ew, except the tae ew blood, a pain but doable for the iksar blood (Warsilks camp, Dalnir) others would be cake (SoNH and Loio)

putting any serious type 7 aug on a weapon, for any class is a sever waste of AP, especially a lower level, as any of the bot tower weapons (even the war only 2hb) is a far better item. Hi pricce augs are only useful on items that you think are going to last a long time for you, or if you are so hi end that nothing in ldon really interests you and you are just there raising your charm stats.

1-2 bars of velium per attempt is going to be 550+pp out of pocket expence, per attempt, at least, where someone in my position can bug 2 friends and go farm tae ew blood on a slow day, and therefore have an actual production cost of <50pp

(BTW Anger 3 is War only, I and more then a few of our guilds Wars prefer yak procs anyhow. but that has nothing to do with what we are discussing.)

(Yeah I know, most normal people wont put 2600 AP worth of augs into a 24/30 blade, BUT this only illustrates that it is possible and does make this blade more valuable)

/sigh, I knew when I typed that some person would try to argue a irrelevant point to this discussion. As I stated previously this was just a FAST example of the added benfits of these new blades. We have yet to see the top end of these items. With +280 mana +300 HP items dropping off end mobs in teh first few zones, I suspect smithed items like Tae Ew quickly be obsolete in the game.

I fully expect the top end smithed 2 hander to come in around 40/30 +100/100 mana/hp, at a minimum, with 2 slots added.

You all need to remember, Gates has been out for a whole 24 hours now. It took months for Tae Ew recipes to be discovered, why should Gates items take less then 24hours?

[eniamn]

new ui will help. i hope for decent mid level player made weapons. these look like more highend weapons but at least they are good. fiery weapons are disappointing now.

[Flabbo]

While I appreciate the enthusiasm for new weapons, these are pretty bad for the plat cost. The ability to add a type 4 augment does very little, due to the bad damage delay ratio, and lack of hit points. No one able to afford any real augments would put them in these, with considerably better weapons available much cheaper. The tae ew weapons are MUCH better in comparison. Given the gear which is available to even new servers, these are rather poorly designed when you consider the price of the store bought ingredients. On an established server, these MIGHT be desired by untwinked players in their 20's, if their cost was significantly lower. Hopefully these can be adjusted, in terms of quality and cost to produce.
