spirit recovery backsword?

[schapp510]

You carefully inspect an imflass backsword
It imparts a bonus of +17 more than usual.
It is an enhancive item:
It provides a boost of 1 to Spirit Recovery.
This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 40 times.
It provides a boost of 6 to Mana Recovery.
This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 42 times.
It provides a boost of 6 to Edged Weapons Ranks.
This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 42 times.
It provides a boost of 5 to Max Stamina.
This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 9 times.
It seems to have a lot of enhancive charges remaining.
It will persist after its last enhancive charge has been expended.
It appears to weigh about 3 pounds.

whatcha think?

Probably best saved to turn it into an orb. Garbage otherwise (IMO).

I actually WOULD use it but I'm sitting here going "is the faster spirit recovery after spelling up worth keeping a 3 lb weapon littering my inventory?" and unfortunately, I'm leaning towards no.

It's also an awful weapon base so only ambushers or dedicated backsword lovers would be using it.

At best a CoL based ambusher might want it, but you won't really get much even then.

(I could also be very, very wrong with my assessment)

heh it was the first non attuned spirit recovery thing ive even seen cross my path so i snatched it up, you're prolly right and i kinda expected it to be not great considering the base, which i believe can be changed at DR or am i dreaming?

It definitely has value as a spirit boost stick while resting but not for a main weapon, I think I bought one of those (runestaff +1 sprit rec) for 1-2m off PC a year ago, I keep it in warrior sheath so it weighs basically nothing but is good for times I really need to pump out that spirit after death or wracking

Since it's 1 spirit recovery, I don't think it can degrade further as a T2 orb, thus it's really easy to orb in this upcoming EG and put it on a dagger or something small as a fusion item. I have 2x +1 spirit recovery knuckles that I keep in on my DE sorcerer for those 712 retributions to 130 which drains like 10 spirit from him, and if I have to use a weak rez option. Symb Dreams + both of those items make getting back to full spirit much more tolerable!

why haven't they made a slotted accessory item? only armor weapons.
