Hi. I was wanting to get my holy weapon dyed, shop won't touch it, and a GM said no go on helping if the shop won't do it. So, my question is, if in the future I decide to get a different holy weapon, can I get it dyed FIRST, then do the quest, and it keep the dyed color?

I heard every color other than pink works- might want to try a different hue.

There is nothing wrong with pink swords.

I love pink weapons for PvP. When I played my thief more, the pink ones were for poison.

I don't know who that is but consider it taken.


-Mr. Glemm

I meant why they don*'*t use pink.

My first set of special armor was a set of Massive plate from dirge I had dyed Plum. I liked it but all my friends called me the grape Paladin for months.

Never argue with an idiot, they bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

I've noticed this too actually

When we run out our holy weapon completely of charges, requiring us to recharge our weapon twice... could we consider instead of the holy part of the weapon being "turned off" and us having to recharge that specific weapon turning it back on... could we instead holify a differant weapon?

We could still only have one holy weapon... but if we completely run it out... the weapon could just be normalized again. All the Holy weapon "GMcodescriptstuff" could be in the ritual/glyph instead of permanently tied to a physical item...

This would allow us to change our holy weapon without destroying the last, allow us to change our preference of weapon training without having to give up the benefit of a holy weapon if it doesn't fit into our current training regiment, and help greatly with "My Holy Weapon Disapeered!" occurances.

I like the idea of the special bond we have with our holy weapon... but I feel the power should be in the Paladin... not in the weapon.

I suggest we be allowed to hold whichever weapon we choose when we pay proper homage, and let the power of the Gods be channeled into it.

While I wish there were more areas to charge the weapon (One per province at the least, more options would be better), I do like the fact that they're special weapons. I think it's nice the GM's gave us the chance to change once per year, but what you're describing is basically the bless spell, just as a paladin ability instead of a cleric spell. I think they should stay as they are in respect to the permanency of the weapon.

For the reasons that Celeres posted, I am opposed to being able to change the weapon on demand. I like that the current limitations (on changing holy weapons) require players to put some thought into which weapon they choose.

However, I think that the holy weapon system could use some improvement. What I would most like to see is the removal of the penalty for allowing your weapon to run out of charges. Currently, if you allow the weapon to run out of charges, it has to be recharged twice before you can use it again. It takes five minutes to recharge the weapon, and there is a one-hour timer between rechargings. If you make the mistake of using the weapon between those two rechargings, you have to start over.

This, combined with the scarcity of recharging locations, is an onerous system that discourages Paladins from using their holy weapons. (Who wants to count charges while hunting?) In my opinion, holy weapons should only require one recharging before being fully usable. Holy weapons that have run out of charges would continue to function as standard weapons until they are recharged.

Like Celeres, I would also like to see more recharging locations and/or a release of additional portable recharging icons.

Lastly, I think that the holy weapon changing quest (which can be done once every 365 days) should not destroy the previous weapon. This would allow Paladins to use special weapons without worrying about losing them if they decide to change their holy weapons later.

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall rank!

I have always liked the importance of the weapon chosen for us to bond with and make holy. It's one of those rare instances where RP and Game come together to add value(or lessen) the overallness of a Charicter. I can see how it would be akin to bless if the option to change the weapon was available every time it ran out of charges,although a journey to the proper places to renew would be required.

I have a unique weapon for my holy weapon and combined with the fact that I've been backtraining other weapons, made me miss the roars and cries of justice I so enjoy while destroying the denizens of the unrightous.

It would be great if we could change our holy weapon once an Elanthian year instead of once a RL year and if it didnt destroy the weapon. Pending changes to combat can make oneself doubtful over their choice of Holy weapon.


How about holy armor? changes the description and improves one stat catagory on a piece of armor dependent upon which god you hold most favor with. Would stay with you upon departing so we no longer have to fear a world with naked paladins running to their warded graves...

puncture slice impact fire ice electricity impacts and absorbs, movement hinderance, stealth hinderance and durability... thas 13 stat catagories to match up with the 13 Gods. Um... make those other "Gods" effect weight or something.

Nice catch. Thanks for putting that information out.


Madigan

Forgive me if I have anything wrong but I'm trying to think a little ahead here: When making a holy weapon, if the weapon is swappable HE/2HE, will it work on the entire weapon (both forms)?
