Unique Polearm

[Thatoneguy22]

I have this unique polearm and I am looking for an appraisal on it. It likely was an auction win and there appears to be no info online about it.

a maoral-hafted crimson eahnor falcastra
+23 Halberd
+5 Polearm Weapon Ranks, +10 Constitution Bonus, +10 Physical Fitness Bonus (No Level Restrictions)
Heavy Critical Weighting

Well +5 weapon ranks with no level restrictions can certainly be amazing for a low level character. Too bad it wasnt a new style naginata where most of the bonus is in avd, so that it could be held at a low train (say level 2)... I'd see if you can do that.

pretty slick

10 constitution bonus or 10 constitution stat bonus? There is a difference. A whole 10 to constitution bonus is crazy.

Bonus. The ranks is on the Polearm, the other two are bonus.

I gain 13 stamina and 10 health by wielding on my capped bard.

Hurt because its a halberd, but I'd still start at like 20-25m MB.

If there is an interest, I will be adding this to my flat price high value thread. Ill put it at 25m and see where it goes until it sells.

25m seems like a bit much. A 5x halberd is really just a 1x naginatia....

You must have missed the enhancives and weighting.

Some pretty hefty differences in the AvD...in favor of the naginata:

Cloth Leather Scale Chain Plate
Halberd 30 30 29 28 27 31 29 27 25 32 28 24 20 32 26 20 14
Naginata 50 50 49 48 47 51 49 47 45 52 48 44 40 52 46 40 3

It'd be a good bit cooler if it was a nagi. It's certainly not bad though with the weighting/enhancives.

[khorpulent]

Yeah, a newstyle naginata is just a halberd with +20 AvD across the board. The weighting is nice and enhancives are pretty cool, but it's still basically just a weighted 1x naginata. I guess 2x if you count the +5 pole ranks. Not trying to hate on your halberd, I just think that 25m sounds crazy for what's basically a 2x hcw weapon.

CO enhancives seem to be rather undervalued, too. I think they're awesome and buy them whenever I see them, but most people don't seem willing to pay much for them.

[Thatoneguy22]

Thanks for the feedback. I can't disagree with the mechanical benefits of halberd versus naginata and how it impacts the enchant and ranks versus AVD.

So the way I see it, the benefits of this over a naginata are the Heavy Critical Weighting, the Consitution Bonus, The Physical FItness Bonus, the fact that the enhancives are useable by any level, and that this is a special (perhaps auction) item.
