since i would rather not dish out the 25 plat just to find out does anyone know the impact balance and sutibility for a nimsha from leth, i know their heavy slice and about 45 stones but was wondering about the other stats

only low impact for 42 stones, thats a bit of a let down, oh well thanks for the info

>Not a problem, just going off the information I got. However, if it's anything like my ngalio or atapwi, it might have a verb attached with it. Not that I really care about that for 20 platinums, but imaging my surprise when I started waving my ngalio around...nice one handed pike, but now with arm worn shields, it's just sitting my vault.

I remember back when I used to use a ngalio and could actually kill things... Now its just a wierd named pseudo-weapon that can be used as a party favor. ahh the golden years of DR (even if they werent that long ago)
Good ol' Combat Classic!

the first fest nimsha's were plain evil (I mean evil in a good way - something like great slice, severe impact), there were only so many sold. The second fest had a second version that while less than the first was still a massive sword. After that the nimsha's sold in Leth are a pale comparison but still very functionable.

A jade-hilted nimsha is a heavy edged type 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 jade-hilted nimsha is fairly sturdy, and is in pristine condition.

The jade-hilted nimsha is made with metal.
You estimate that the jade-hilted nimsha weighs around 35 stones.
You are certain that the jade-hilted nimsha is worth exactly 10000 lirums.
Roundtime: 8 seconds.


so it looks like the only difference between the fest nimsha and the Leth nimsha is balance. Fair balance for the fest, poor balance for the Leth.

I think all the 'recent' nimshas in game are pretty much the same as the nimsha sold in Leth. Usually has the 'wave' verb as well.

The one I have is from Corik's and is exactly the same as the one in Leth.:
>a heavily blackened nimsha with a ruby skull pommel.
I think it has a look but dont have it right now.

The original jade-hilted nimshas were low/heavy/low fair/fair, at least they were ment to be. A few of the first jade hilteds sold were buggy and converted to a great/heavy/low fair/fair app (I had a few of them). The ivory hilted nimshas sold at a later fest are slightly different still, and the ones in leth are of an even lesser quality. As far as I can tell, since im in plat and jade hilted nimshas don't exist, the nimsha currently for sale at the festival is a copy of the orignal jade hilted.

Thing about the jade-hilted nimsha was it's very old, pre-forging, and at the time was the neatest looking and best HE out there, save some other rare, artifacty HEs.
