Eheh, let's hope it does. My first experiences with Solanian Truesteel happened when I learned that Paladins considered its use an affront (because obtaining it required you to slay Paladins). That was a very good motivation to obtain a blade like that as an evil character, though! |

I also bought a green dragonhide cloak! Enchanters and crafters are critical for those of us who don't self-buff. In fact, the only way said non-self-buffers are going to be able to compete with gishes is better gear or relentless twinking and Scroll-stacking. The arbitrary "no +6s" favours a certain kind of build ... and also Holy Sword exists. Something to keep in mind.

| Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant. | |

It's not arbitrary, it's a considered choice that doesn't make spells like GMW sub optimal. Having a max enchantment bonus lower or higher than +5 creates various issues that we have experience with from other PW's and wish to avoid. |

Why don't we eliminate usage of wands of holy weapon (remove them)? I think it'd be a positive change for the item usage and crafting dynamics. Initially truesteel might skyrocket in price, though. I use HW wands extensively, but I'd survive and use some alternative means. ![]() To be fair, HW is supposed to only last one round per level, but due to a bug lasts until weapon swap or relog. |

On the other hand, wands are in constant demand! So that's good. I use a plenty. Then again, I'm not sure you need to obtain the buggy version of Holy Sword. It makes many +5 things obsolete. |

Could probably fix Holy Sword. Didn't even know it was bugged. |

All item specific buffs have been known to get stuck, not just holy sword or blessed weapon, they just happen to be most common in scod, in previous server it was flame weapon that was known of it, but also magic vestment and bladeweave or whatever its name was. Somehow the durations don't run out or glitch out to last months of gameplay. My guess would be that the duration can become detached from the character and buff script doesn't check specific items. *Edit: although since it can be misleading, holy sword has its own quirk, mostly even if duration runs out and you can see the effect of it vanishing, the alignment doesn't go away until you unequip current weapon. |

All special materials will drop from two locations once i am done with this part!, Also if you want to turn that craft armor, weapon and alchemy into a weapon become a golem master!. EDIT: Also with the way we have holy sword here UMD based on cost it has been fairly balanced. |

Eheh, yes. It is a matter of willful ignorance. Just like we ignore the fact that almost every high level character is a mass murderer, no matter how you spin it. |

It is mined yes, so it should be obtainable peacefully IC-ly. It would be metagame thinking to react as though it comes only from violence. |

It only comes from violence, though. Mechanics sort of not supporting lore. And levels only come from killing tons of stuff. I'm not sure anyone has reached 20+ with pure RP yet! It's a common game/D&D problem. I hope adding an alternative location for Solanian Truesteel to drop will make lives easier for the goodly folks who don't want to invade Mercuria for some holy weapons. |

It's only a problem in PnP if you have a terrible DM with no imagination and storytelling skill. The serious XP should come from completing quests and advancing plotlines, not from killing a few hundred goblins at 10xp a shot. |
