I was wondering if anyone bought one of the bastard swords from the outcast tent and could post the 2HE appraisal and weight. I know the 98 plat one appraises the same as my 36 stone forged one in HE. So if the 2HE appraisal is the same I was going to buy one. Thanks for any help on this.
Swappable weapons Increase from HE to THE as a fixed number. If two basties are identical in every respect in HE, barring extremely tiny variances due to rounding, they'll be the same in THE, too

Anyone happen to ocheck out the basties in the barrel on the barge?
Can't appraise them because they are inside something (pretty poor design guys), but damn they are pretty...

I "took the plunge" and bought the tempered steel bastard sword.
>tap my swo
You tap a tempered steel bastard sword hilted with a carved-ivory lion's paw that you are holding.
>put swo on count
You put your bastard sword on the counter.
Twelvetoes hefts the bastard sword and puts it on the medium balance scale. He patiently adds small sacks of stones on the other side till the beam becomes exactly level.
Twelvetoes squints at the balance beam needle and says, "The sword weighs about thirty stones," and puts the sword on the counter.
You pay Twelvetoes and take your sword off the counter.
So some other people have said that you can't get forged quality weapons at fests, but this seems like a pretty good sword, no? Admittedly I am in plat and I don't have access to forged weapons (some exist, but no forgers are currently in the game to create new weapons that I know of).

Hey hadn't thought of that. If there are no active plat forgers, then these are all really badass for you guys, because they all have almost capped forged stats. Even their construction matches up with the kind of forged blade they resemble, like the 30 stone fest bastie, it's only fairly sturdy and has bad impact, like light high carbon forged ones (28 stone g/s slice basties).
The heavy slice scim sold there resembles a 36ish stone forged scim ground to f/r. The lighter fest scim looks like a 18ish stone forged scim. The heavier bastie resembles a.. well I want to say a 36 stone g/s bastie, but actually it's slightly worse in appraisal, so I guess it does resemble a 40 stone one more (which I believe is the weight of the fest one). The katar resembles a standard heavy forged one.

That's actually a good thought. I'd forgotten about plat. Garnted, there is, or was (not sure if Bakan is still there or not) a forger that could make good ME and HE weapons, but I dont know if he ever did anything like the mod slice katar that's selling at the fest. Also, I imagine that the heavy slice scimitar selling there would be a great weapon for someing in plat too.

How so? I only recall that heavy slice scim being fairly sturdy. Forged 36(ish) stone ones start off moderately strong and drop down to fairly sturdy after grinding them to f/r. Maybe you're thinking of the craptacular forged 26 stone ones? The fest one isn't modeled after those.

Ah, gotcha, 36 stones is the very heaviest you can go and still be able to grind them to fairly balanced, it takes every balance grind so it hurts construction the most. The fest one is probably based off of a lighter weight, anywhere from 31 to 34 stones or so, so it takes less balance grinds to hit f/r.
But that's just my educated guess.

The lighter one might have a tiny bit more balance, but otherwise yes, the heavier one has equal or better puncture, slice, impact, and suited, as well as much better construction.

You raise your arm and gaze down its outstretched length, your stare following the deadly point of your swept-bladed katar.
Your grip tightens on the parallel cross-bars of your swept-bladed katar as your lips twitch downward into a slight frown.
You run a careful finger along the length of your swept-bladed katar's blade as you glance around the area with a dispassionate gaze.
You turn in a dangerous circle, your arm's length extended by the wicked blade of your swept-bladed katar as it slices through the air.

On the subject of verby weapons be sure to get the blued-steel sabre in wormtongues tent, that thing has a whole bunch of really great verbs. It's a little pricey at 14 plat but it seems to be the only weapon in his store with verbs and they are really worth the coin. Plus it's mod puncture and fairly strong so it's better then most other non-forged sabres you see floating around.

It's the same as most of the non-forged sabres... and it's worse than the one in the shop right there in Shard. I would have picked up the sabre if they had made it at least as good as the one a few blocks away.
