A nimsha is a bit heavier than an Elven longsword (42 stones vs. 28 stones) and would need a strength factor of 36 to get the minimum RT. You are better off buying a forged broadsword or bastard sword for half the price or less than a nimsha.

Nimsha poor/heavy/low poorly/fairly.

Speaking of basties, can they be made to emphasize balance rather than strength?

Regardless, I'm in the market for one for my bard, but only have 15 plat in the budget for it. Possible to get a heavy slice HE, severe slice 2HE, balanced bastie for that price?

Celestica moves a stone mortar labeled "NotCelestiaa" to his right hand.
You tap a hollow ram's horn labeled "NotCelestica" that you are wearing.

I believe capped 28 stone bastard swords favor balance and can be made great/severe for HE/2HE.

>>How much are the Fest Nimsha's goin for?

The sales clerk smiles and says, "The price on an acid-etched nimsha with a carved dragon's blood crystal pommel is 135300 Dokoras. You can BUY the item if you like."

A tightly leather-wrapped hilt leads to an antiqued steel crossguard carefully shaped in the likeness of two large bat-like wings unfurled wide.

An acid-etched nimsha with a carved dragon's blood crystal pommel is a heavy edged melee-ranged weapon.

You are certain that it could do:
low puncture damage
heavy slice damage
low impact damage

You are certain that the nimsha is fairly balanced and is fairly suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.

You are certain that the acid-etched nimsha is fairly sturdy, and is in pristine condition.

The acid-etched nimsha is made with metal.
You guess that the acid-etched nimsha weighs around 45 stones.
You are certain that the acid-etched nimsha is worth exactly 135300 dokoras.

I'd also make the addition that those Nimsha's are blessed.

Are they Perma-blessed? Can a cleric Percieve it please?

Go out on a limb, but there aren't any perma-blessed items in the game. Those scythe blades just shipped with like 500 strikes on 'em. These probably have 100 or someodd.

It's kind of funny, thinking back. I can remember, once upon a time, going to the exotic weapon shop in Leth, seeing the Nimsha, and gasping at the price, thinking "god, I'll never be able to afford a weapon like that."

Who knew?

The Fist of Chadatru war hammer isn't technically perma-blessed, but you can get 500 blesses every 24 hours. It was one of the token auction items on the Jaal Jeraya Cruise.

Also there is a longsword with a cloth that blesses it I think 100 strikes per day, dunno if it has limited charges or anything. Mine just sits in my vault gathering dust, think it was originally from taisidon or something.

that cloth and ones like it only work when inside the quest area during your quest.

Ahh you are thinking of the cloth from the latest quest and the dunshade quest. I am speaking of this:

>tap cloth
You tap a gossamer cloth that you are holding.
>look cloth
>
The thin, fine cloth's threads glow with a shimmering whiteness. A small message appears:

Wipe thy treasured blade with this cloth
A holy protection to thus ensure
Although the powers one day be lost
Til then thy blade strike hard and pure.

The cloth is folded.
>open cloth
You unfold the cloth.
>rumm cloth
You rummage through a gossamer cloth and see a dark damascened longsword.
>tap longsword
You tap a dark damascened longsword inside your gossamer cloth.
>look longsword
The dark blade of the sword swirls with forge markings and the hilt ends in a thistle-shaped verdigris pommel. An amethyst gleams embedded within the green-copper flower bracts.

That is a weapon from I believe the taisidon quest(I bought it second hand, didn't go on the quest) it is blessed when you put it in that cloth and I believe you get 100 strikes for it, but I don't understand if the poem means it works once a day or if it means it has limited charges, I never use it since it is just a store quality longsword, I just always though it was neat and got it for a good price years ago.

I believe the gossamer cloth has limited charges. I haven't used mine for awhile, but last I remember it was out of charges.

any place around Elanthia to pick up a nimsha? I picked up a jade-hilted nimsha from, I think, the second festival, and miss that blade.
