Is Just a suggestion. Is it possible to make a Universal halberd that has a limited supply.


Gretskula

Armed with a sharp curvy-like razor sharp blade and a spike tip protruding from the back of its blade. There's only 4 in known exsistance they have been hidden through out the wilderness waiting to be found.Lvl required to equipt: 22-24:
Magical: No, Vamparic: No, Armor: 0, Strength modifier: 0, Intelligence modifier: 0, Dexterity modifier: 0, Constitution modifier: 0, Wisdom modifier: 0, Charisma modifier: 0, Poison chance: 0, Poison/30s damage: 0, Mana leech: .

Do you know how much a druid does with hawk talon?

Do you know how many weapons you would be destroying? Let me list them for you.

1. Hawk Talon (except the magical part)
2. Ivory Dagger (except the magical part)
3. Katana
4. Jagged Lance
5. Justice Blade
6. Auric Staff
7. Angelic Scepter
8. Bow of Courage (not listing Enchanted Bow due to rapid fire)
9. Pike (before lvl 23 for Paladins)
10. Staff of Elements

Anyone want to complete with the mage weapons and all? I don't want to load jurian's helper .

1: hawk talon is a lvl 27 weapon.
2:ivory dagger is a lvl 26 weapon
3:Katana yes but Theres a limited supply of these. only 4 in game, So it wouldnt be that bad.
4:Jagged lance same reason stated above
5:justice blade it wouldnt get rid of these weapons because of the limited supply of them.
6:auric staff is a lvl 30 weapon
7:angelic scepter is a lvl 30 weapon
8:Umm Rangers wouldnt use this weapon...
9:You would still have to use the pike from lvls 18 - 22.
10:and staff of elements is a lvl 20 weapon

But because of the limited supply of this weapon it shouldnt Cause too much problems. I just thought of this to conserve The halberd and rose blades honor, because back in the day it took a long long time to get a halberd and or a rose blade and now it takes little time and effort to get one. and they are considered to be newbie Items. But i dounno

Just My Thoughts . :-|

So? It's such a powerful weapon at such a high level for a reason

Sourcream, on Mar 25 2005, 07:03 PM, said:

2:ivory dagger is a lvl 26 weapon

I still fail to see what it is that makes this such a good point. It's got a base damage of 23, with -1 AC and -1 Charisma. Obviously, thieves are only supposed to have such power at a cost to themselves.

This doesn't justify much of anything.

Sourcream, on Mar 25 2005, 07:03 PM, said:

6:auric staff is a lvl 30 weapon

With 17 base damage. Plus, mages aren't really wouldn't be strong enough to wield such a large weapon, or at least to be able to have it be useful.

Sourcream, on Mar 25 2005, 07:03 PM, said:

7:angelic scepter is a lvl 30 weapon

Clerics only get 21 base damage at level 30. And they wouldn't be able to use the Gretskula well either.

Sourcream, on Mar 25 2005, 07:03 PM, said:

8:Umm Rangers wouldnt use this weapon...

You have them listed.

Sourcream, on Mar 25 2005, 07:03 PM, said:

10:and staff of elements is a lvl 20 weapon

With 15 base damage. Thats a 10 base damage boost. For classes that shouldn't be able to use such a weapon in the first place (as the Gretskula, I mean).

Sourcream, on Mar 25 2005, 07:03 PM, said:

I fail to see how it is that it does that.


Also, if you hide it in forests, people will go looking for it. They'll be gone within 5 minutes.

If this weapon was implimented, it would (realisticly) only be able to be used by Fighters, Berserkers, and Paladins (maybe).

I don't mean to sound like i'm on th attack. I'm just saying: "I don't think its a good idea", and pointing out reasons why I feel as such.

[Sneaky]

You stupid cabbage, you completely missed the point of my post!

The point was, they are ALL weapons that are either:
1. Used at higher levels
2. Used in the levels that your special halberd is

And YOUR weapon has higher damage than ALL of these. THAT was the point.

1. Your weapon has higher base damage AND used at lower level.
2. Your weapon has higher base damage AND used at lower level.
3. Your weapon has higher base damage for the levels you would use it.
4. Your weapon has higher base damage for the levels you would use it.
5. Your weapon has higher base damage AND used at lower level.
6. Your weapon has higher base damage AND used at lower level.
7. Your weapon has higher base damage AND used at lower level.
8. Your weapon has higher base damage AND used at lower level AND at level 22 it would make sense to use this with attack instead of using dual shot.
9. Your weapon has higher base damage for some levels you would use it.
10. Your weapon has higher base damage for some levels you would use it.

Only 4 of this item existing does limit the damage being done to existing equipment but how would they be given out? I certainly hope not via a mosh or just dropped at SGH or any other random place on the map. You'd probably get more backing behind this idea if you suggested a possible quest on how to give out the items. But judging by the description you gave the item it looks like it's another case of being at the right place at the right time, make it at least so it doesn't rely on luck.

Also, why would all classes be able to equip this item? You might want to consider that thought when creating the description of the item, why would a cleric be unable to wield a blade made out of roses, yet be able to hold a curved razor sharp blade?

[Bubba]

In truth. I think the whole class restricted items is pretty lame. A Mage can hold a cobalt staff just like the other classes but they cant hold a halberd wich is just a staff with a blade on the top of it. Doesnt make sense. I can understand with the Rangers and Bows. But Rangers, by fantasy meaning, are trained in useing blades as well as bows. Using bows as a secondary choice of weapon. If they are only restricted to bows, It should be called a Archer or something. *shrugs*

Using a weapon such as a halberd takes special training. Also, a halberd is fairly heavy. Someone like a mage would have a hard time weilding it for both reasons.

[Bubba]

True.

all that needs to happen for unique weapons is jlh/pandi needs to toss afew rune blades or items like it around at sgh

Lvl required to equipt: 22-24:

So at level 25 the weapon would automatically unequip?

[Crane]

The Nightmist engine does not support maximum levels on equipment, only minimum levels. Also, a maximum level would not make sense anyway - if a small stick, say, could be used by an apprentice, why could it not be used by a master? (in a realistic and role-play sense)

[Stotic]

Even if a max level was possible...how did you come up with 22-24?

Obviously, the lvl 22 - 24 is where the lvl requirement woul start. I wasnt shure where to place it. And This weapon isnt heavy at all its fairly light kinda shaped like a scimitar. Like in the movie the muumy returns the swords the magi's used is the sword i was making.

[Sean]

lmao nm can be tweaked to make wepons have max levels, its only text, remember that much

[Lifeless Void]

sorry but no

If you make a special Hally light it defeats the purpose and would have a low base damage. The reason real hallys do so much damage is because they weigh about 45 to 50 pounds IRL. And for some proof on that even the chinese version of the halberd weighed 45 pounds.

Yet a stick of wood with a vampiric crystal on top does 2 more damage than the 45-50 pount meat cleaverr

very true lol almost forgot this is nightmist

Stick of Cobalt.

[Wolfgang]

Cobalt is a lot harder than a piece of wood. A single hit with something like a Cobalt Staff would knock a person unconscious. While yes, a piece of wood would have the same effect, its a lot easier with something like cobalt.

[Kakarott]

THE IDEA IS STUPID AND I DONT LIKE IT ..... Plus a mage with like 13 str wouldnt beable to do much damage and why put a weapon on a Druid/mage when there lvl 10+ its stupidf they have spells that do enough damage so why would they need a weapon?... P.S. ITS A STUPID IDEA and theres already a universial weapon its called a Colbat Staff of the winds.

Edited by Kakarott, 03 May 2005 - 01:41 PM.

[Vàmpÿrë]

1 thing druids morph with there weapon on them.. soo it would be like morphing with a high dmg weapon
which increases there hit points. 1 a mage wouldnt use it but if he had to defend himself physically he could.

and another maybe this weapon is a little to advanced for yall to except but then aghain it was just a suggestion.

[Sean]

Weapon counts when your morphed?
