As a matter of curiosity, do the feeders only feed boxes or do those somehow feed into the special weapons that critters are sometimes armed with as well (or is that a seperate feeder/system entirely?

Oh, and thanks (foe the addition and the heads up)!

-- Robert

> I just placed a really nice katana into the feeders (Prime, Platinum, and Shattered). Made of rolaren. Good luck! -Wyrom

We need more vultite claidhmores in the feeder like that critter found one for sale on the Players' Corner! :D

This guy? It's pretty awesome, nice creation.

>tap kat
You tap a long-bladed rolaren katana wrapped in black and white rayskin, which is in your right hand.
>l kat
The rolaren katana is hand-forged from folded rolaren, with a radiant edge. The hilt is wrapped with criss-crossed white over black rayskin, with the pommel and crossguard being crafted from bronze.
You see nothing unusual.
There appears to be something written on it.
>read kat
Etched into the rolaren blade, it reads:
"Misery Released."

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the rolaren katana in your hand, and you learn something about it...

The first thing that strikes you about the katana is the weight, which is about 6 pounds. In your best estimation, it's worth about 2,200,000 silvers. You can also tell that there is some type of metal in the structure of the rolaren katana.

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the rolaren katana in your hand, and you learn something about it...

You sense a faint aura of magic around the rolaren katana. You sense that this is some type of holy item. From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the katana is as some type of weapon. A sense of deep seated hatred clings to the rolaren katana, as if it had been crafted with a specific purpose.

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the rolaren katana in your hand...

It has a bonus of +20 from a normal katana, and the way it vibrates in tune with your voice tells you that it requires skill in two-handed and one-handed edged weapons to use effectively. It also has some type of special ability, but you can't tell what yet. This rolaren katana seems to be the bane of all undead creatures.

You learn nothing new about the katana.

Nice catch! And could ye tell us where you found it? What was wielding that thing? Log of the battle (if there was any that showed the gore?)

"This rolaren katana seems to be the bane of all undead creatures." -- Dgry

So, a perma-blessed crit-weighted [i.e. normal for a katana] +20 bastard weapon? Nice, indeed.

>>The random object generator can create insane items like vultite claidhmores?

And 8x weapons!

>>So, a perma-blessed crit-weighted [i.e. normal for a katana] +20 bastard weapon? Nice, indeed.

Well, sort of, and it has some special ability against undead as well.

Good job on finding it.

I'm kind of jealous.

-farmer

>Undead bane is an extra HCW (8-10) points of weighting against undead.

This is not true in all cases. I've released undead bane that added to AS vs undead instead of flares or weighting. There are multiple ways to go about it.

I'd also like to reinforce the fact that undead bane does not mean permablessed. Permablessed is a very specific ability, and while undead bane has some features of a permablessed weapon it is definitely not the same animal. Some claim that Undead Bane is better, but in certain cases it is not.

>>Is the special ability obvious? Or something like, it doubles the weighting?

This has extra weighting against undead. Looks like the loresong for weighting is a little buggy (I believe it's been BUGITEM'd). But this is normal weighting for a katana, but becomes MCW against undead.

>>I keep hearing this note sung over and over, but never any specifics. Can someone shed some light on it? I can't see any situation in which undead banes would be worse off than permablesses.

The banes only have the special properties AGAINST that type of creature. So in the case of undead bane, if it were +10 AS against undead, it will lose that against anything not undead. Permabless also has some special properties against other creature types, where undead bane does not. Certain permabless weapons also flare holy water, undead bane can never flare this. Undead bane weapons aren't technically "holy" weapons.

There are other back end things as well.

For anyone wondering, it's text-based replica of Michonne's katana from The Walking Dead. Her katana is forged from steel and isn't etched, but I added my own twist to it. Plus, it has the GoryWeapon script on it. The fully unlocked version, which won't be common at all (it won't be a merchant service, nor anything from a shop).

Thanks for chiming in, Wyrom. Incredibly neat weapon, btw! Glad to get a preview of the gore scripts.

You inhale deeply upon your pipe, puckering your lips as you send out three rings of smoke before you, then puff out a small vine of smoke that darts right through all three which causes them to disperse in a hazy shroud!

Where did you find it?

The only thing that would have made it even cooler in that case is...

>You extend your tongue and drag it over the surface of your rolaren katana, tasting the blood and ectoplasm of your enemies.

...if that turned you into a zombie.

From everything I have gleaned from staff it is possible for a 10x claidh weighted item to be made via the random generator. However statistically it's about as likely as dropping a pin from Willis Tower (old Sears Tower) and trying to hit the center (bull's eye) of a cherrios.

Not far back (Christmas Eve) someone got an 8x jeddart axe base. And that is the first thing over 5x I've heard of, or seen, since the new system came out.

Possible? Yes.

Likely? Not so much, or at the least on a super rare occasion so much so you are better off going to every event they do (you'd have better odds that way).

Or if you like you can compare it to hitting a jackpot in the lotto yourself.

I up-hunt 5-10 levels pretty much all the time or higher in groups with older characters. I've seen gear in the x5 and below range with a wide spread of abilities, not much over that enchant though.


Senglent and his wayward kin.

Not true Rob. I've found at least two 6x items in plat alone since the treasure changes.

-Richard/Fjalar.

My question was only whether a 10x find was possible. I appreciate it's about as likely as hitting the lotto two weeks in a row.

I found one 6x weapon in my time - too bad it wasn't an OHE. I personally know of only one 7x find, and that was quite some time ago. The only 8x find that I have any knowledge about is the one discussed in the forums lately.

I find a 5x weapon once or twice a year - but so far not a single OHE (sigh).

Maynist

>huh that's odd all the ones I have found are OHE, luck of the draw I guess.

Or you hunt OHE using critters more of the time. There's luck of the draw, but you can choose which barrel you are drawing from by what critter you are hunting.

Our weapon's feeder is separated into 4 groups. Two handed, one handed, ranged, and runestaff. A lance would fall into our two handed group, so that makes sense. And since a shambler is a level 17 creature, a golvern weapon is fine for that level range.
