The Carving of the Dragon Claw on 03/21/2015 08:22 PM CDT
I know many people have been waiting to hear how the Dragon Claw from the Hollow Eve raffle turned out. After Falkonis carefully cleaned it, I had the honor of curing and carving it today.
It was made into a matching set of shivs that look fine:
A dragon-bone shiv is a light edged melee-ranged weapon.
A dragon-bone shiv trains the small edged skill.
You are certain that it could do:
somewhat heavy (8/26) puncture damage
fair (5/26) slice damage
dismal (1/26) impact damage
no (0/26) fire damage
no (0/26) cold damage
no (0/26) electric damage
The shiv is terribly (1/17) designed for improving the force of your attacks.
You are certain that the shiv is excellently (12/17) balanced and is poorly (3/17) suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.
You are certain that the shiv is extremely resistant to damage (15/18), and is in pristine condition (98-100%).
The shiv came from bones that were enormous in size.
You are certain that the shiv weighs exactly 13 stones.
You are certain that the shiv is worth exactly 212,500 (21 plat) Kronars.
It's been listed at epedia for easy reference in the future at: https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Weapon:Shiv_%28crafted%29

Nicely made. Great backstabbing weapon.
I gotta say.. I expected it to be a bit better than that though. Sickle-bone makes almost as good a blade. And senci carving knives basically match it (some very slight differences).. but meh.. guess the majority of the price goes towards owning something named Dragon-bone.

Yeah, my tyrium stiletto is a fair match for it as well. A point difference here and there, but overall very close.

IMO, the lower the volume the less of a difference you tend to see for changes in density/hardness/etc.
Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

Just wait until you see what kind of enchantments it can hold :) I know... the wait is killing me too!

I'm feeling the Inner Code Fires of Kodius burning bright and being readied to turn toward Enchanting Kodius Soon, hopefully enchanters will be rejoicing.

>>Not in Plat. In Plat they sit in someone's vault waiting for the necessary skill ranks to come around :-/. I don't know which scenario is worse... well, yes I do.
I'm actually wondering if people are overly projecting how much skill they'd need to make a lower tier item even when the material is 1 workability.
Of course, this goes to show that it would be really useful to have some very hard difficulty common materials. It's a lot

True, I didn't factor in those details to actually harvest the material.

Honestly not sure how you can mark up the claw or hide.. at 100k+ plats for the claw... you will never make that back. You would have to be absolutely nuts.. or just rich and not mind tossing around cash.. to spend 50k+ on a shiv.
Someone probably will though lol.. The people that play this game are crazy.

And there is now a Dragon-bone spear out there. It took all 7 pieces of bone from the claw. For people interested in how it turned out, read on:
A dragon-bone light spear is a heavy thrown and pike melee-ranged weapon.
A dragon-bone light spear trains the heavy thrown and polearm skills.
You are certain that it could do:
very great (12/26) puncture damage
fair (5/26) slice damage
somewhat fair (4/26) impact damage
no (0/26) fire damage
no (0/26) cold damage
no (0/26) electric damage
The light spear is poorly (3/17) designed for improving the force of your attacks.
You are certain that the spear is soundly (8/17) balanced and is fairly (5/17) suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.
You are certain that the light spear is extremely resistant to damage (15/18), and is in pristine condition (98-100%).
The light spear came from bones that were enormous in size.
You are certain that the light spear weighs exactly 27 stones.
You are certain that the light spear is worth exactly 387,500 (38 plat)
All the logic in the world that told me I had more than enough skill could NOT overcome the nerves at carving the shivs and the spear. It got no better last night with the spear.

Probably but it doesn't sound like there was enough for armor. At any rate dragon bone is meant for taking enchantments.

I always thought stone was going to be better for enchants.. But Kodius mentioned dragon bone will be great.
and yeah, in general, while a nice weapon.. for the cost it is fairly meh. The senci bolas app close to the same. and senci spears app far better.
Hopefully you stamped them with your mark or charged them through the nose to keep it off lol

>>You are certain that the light spear weighs exactly 27 stones.
This is a large part of why the appraisals look weak for dragon bone. This put dragon bone at a 3.8 density, which is low for any type of weapon. Taking that into account I think the damage stats are pretty good for the spear.
