I'm interested in a 21 stone broadsword. My budget's about 10 plats. From where/whom might I be able to buy one?
I forgot to mention, I want a 21 stone broadsword to improve my heavy-edged RT. Currently I'm using a broadsword bought from the Crossing, and with my current strength and agility (27 and 16 respectively), the RT ranges from 4 sec for a feint to 7 sec for sweep/slice/chop. With a 21 stone broadsword I'm sure I could achieve 3-4 second RTs.
Anyone out there willing to forge the sword for me? =)

All orders will have to wait until I get back to the mainland on Sunday or Monday. Feel free to contact me then and I'll get you set up.

>Can 18 stone broadswords be made anymore? or rather what is the lightest HE than can be made? mod slice is acceptable
21 stone broadsword is the lightest that can be made now, app around l/h/l f/f.

Longswords can be made lighter than broadswords, either 19 or 20 stones, if weight is all that you're concerned about.

>> what would be the rt of a 19 stone longsword with 13 strength and 11 agility?
According to http://66.96.190.72/RT.htm, you'd get a 6-7 sec RT.

ehh that RT site must be down... I got 16 strength and 8 Agility...I got a forged bastard sword.
1H: (l/g/l/f/f) 2H: (l/s/f/r/r) - well constructed 36 stones.
...was wondering if i should get a broadsword or something, I train shield so I don't use 2he....and the 7-9 second RT is abit much. I know the wieght will be good when I get bigger so I think I'll hold onto it.

does the heavyer it is the more health it takes away still hold up? I remember hearing that back before agility was a factor.
...as for the elven longsword, I'm Rakash :-p
I probly have enough plats around to buy a forged broadsword...if they can be made better then the bastie I have now wile still being lighter...

You can get heavy slice broadswords at 21 stones. They are fairly common on the market. I believe they app at LML FF. A decent blade for a decent price. Will serve you much better at that strength than your bastie is at nearly twice the weight.
Yes, it's true you will see less damage per hit. However, you'll be hitting noticeably faster, thereby improving your position and balance faster. End result; you'll be killing faster too.
Vault the bastie for a year or two, and get yourself a sturdy broadsword.

My 21 stone broadsword apps like so:
>app broa careful
A broadsword 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 broadsword is fairly balanced and is fairly suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.
You are certain that the broadsword is moderately strong, and is in pristine condition.
The broadsword is made with metal.
The broadsword feels pretty light.
You are certain that the broadsword is worth exactly 460 lirums.
Roundtime: 16 seconds.
>l broa
Impressed into the metal is the image of a rampaging peccary before an erupting volcano. Surrounding the design in diminutive lettering are the words, "Elothean Pigsmasher".
Not reasonable balance, unfortunately.

Naissura hefts the broadsword and puts it on the medium balance scale. She patiently adds small sacks of stones on the other side till the beam becomes exactly level.
Naissura squints at the balance beam needle and says, "The broadsword weighs about twenty-one stones," and puts the broadsword on the counter.
You pay Naissura and take your broadsword off the counter.

They can be made reasonably balanced at the cost of construction. They'll turn out fairly sturdy instead of mod strong.

I'm gonna see if I can get ahold of Shadowar and see if she'll make me one...if she'll keep her pidgeon awake long enough.
Also I tryed the elven longsword and I don't like the damage vs RT trade off. For 2 seconds faster I get less damage...
For those of you that missed my first post:

The elven longsword really is a good weapon for beginners (read poor) and it at least hits harder than it appraises, but if you can afford a forged broadsword, that's the way to go.

>Basties are nice, but if you want to go HE & Shield, broadswords are better.
Yuppers. I went this route and never regretted it. Doesn't take that much longer to swap blades in a harness than it does to swap a bastie. Then, if you want to get really sick damage, get a massive claymore to work 2HE. I have a BC slice/mod impact claymore I adore and it's way more fun than a bastie. You should see what it does to sandies. <smirk> It might weigh 52 stone, but you know what, the sheer damage it can do is dreadfully entertaining, and my little broadsword works beautifully at circle.
About the only reason I can see going to a bastie is for the better balance when you've already gotten minimum roundtimes with the extra weight.

<<Clueless WM is about right.
Actually, if you read what I wrote, you'll see that you'll never get fair impact and reasonable balance on a 21 stone broadsword. I know what I'm talking about, despite being a war mage. This is an altered 34 stone broadsword.
A darkened war blade with an ironwood hilt is a heavy edged type weapon.
You are certain that it could do:
low puncture damage
heavy slice damage
fair impact damage
You are certain that the blade is fairly balanced and is reasonably suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.
You are certain that the war blade is moderately strong, and is in pristine condition.
So please, next time, read what's posted before you try to insult someone.
Thanks for playin.

I dont think you can get fair impact with normal metals on 21 stones, but this one is a pretty damn good sword especially considering the weight.

Lil fyi, there will come a point there you will need to train stats up, well combat stats. I had a 12 reflex and i couldnt fight under level with snowbeasts. Even though from what i know i had way more than enough to fight them. I got my reflex to 18 not a problem anymore... for now.

Only work if you plan on getting all your combats from classes. Generally, with the way DR is going, the only guild I know of who doesn't need that much agility is Empath. <wry grin> And I'm sure, in the next few rounds of changes, that will as well.
Basically, train all stats equal, just like train all skills equal, no matter your guild. Simple, doesn't leave you gutted every time the powers that be decide to change everything and you can just keep hunting the same critters your entire life. (Since you're constantly backtraining weapons/armor for the next round of nerfing.)
