After winning this last year on the Wavedancer, and having three different people fall through with the money, here are the details again.

a mesille heavy crossbow
The bowstring is formed from braided Aishan hair which seems to glow an almost green-black. A strange black ora symbol is mounted on the tiller depicting a black six tentacled star.

It weighs 11 pounds. The loresung value on it ranges based on its enchant and the shape that it takes. I've seen it go from 100k all the way to 2.35 mil. It is weighted to inflict more fearsome wounds. The amount of weighting will vary, just like any other property on this thing, it's all random.
The scripts:

POINT:
You carefully sight down your mesille heavy crossbow and along the shaft.
You carefully sight down your mesille heavy crossbow and along the shaft at (random person in the room).
Someone carefully sights down her mesille heavy crossbow.
Someone carefully sights down her mesille heavy crossbow and points it directly at (random person in the room).

PLUCK:
You give your crossbow string a good pluck, testing it for proper tension.
The string makes a high pitched *twang* as you release it.
Someone gives her crossbow string a good pluck, testing it for tension.
The string makes a dull *thud* as she releases it.

PULL:
You raise your crossbow and sight down its length. After satisfying yourself that the sightings are correct you slowly lower your crossbow.
Someone raises her crossbow and sights down its length. After satisfying herself that the sightings are correct she slowly lowers her crossbow.

PUSH:
Carefully planting your foot firmly on the ground, you brace the prod of your crossbow against it securely. With the ease of long practice you slip the bowstring from one nock, twist it several times to tighten, and slide the knot's loop back into position.

REMOVE:
You unsling your mesille heavy crossbow off from over your shoulder and quickly survey the area.
Someone unslings her mesille heavy crossbow from over her shoulder and quickly surveys the area.

RUB:
You polish your mesille heavy crossbow with your hand, trying to remove all the imperfections.

TAP:
You scrutinize the tiller of your crossbow, occasionally running your thumb along the crossbow's surface, looking for flaws.
Someone scrutinizes the limbs of her crossbow, occasionally running her thumb along the crossbow's surface.

TICKLE:
You brush your fingers lightly against your mesille heavy crossbow.
Someone brushes her fingers lightly against her mesille heavy crossbow.

TOSS:
You toss your crossbow a few inches in the air, catching it adroitly as you swing it around and sight down its length.
Someone tosses her crossbow a few inches in the air, catching it adroitly then swings it around and sights down its length.

WEAR:
You nimbly sling a mesille heavy crossbow over your shoulder.
Someone nimbly slings her mesille heavy crossbow over her shoulder.


YOU SEE: You feel somehow, the crossbow is a bit more magical.
OTHERS SEE: The crossbow in Someone's hand begins to glow brightly for a moment.

This means the enchant of the crossbow has gone UP. It ranges anywhere from +15 to +30.
It will go up any random amount from +1 enchant to +15 enchant.


YOU SEE: You feel a sense of loss from within the crossbow.

This means the enchant of the crossbow has gone DOWN. It ranges anywhere from +15 to +30
It will go down any random amount from +1 enchant to +15 enchant.


YOU SEE: The crossbow in your hand begins to writhe and begins to change.
OTHERS SEE: The crossbow in Someones's hand begins to writhe and change.

This means the crossbow has morphed and possibly changed shape. It does not change shape every time you see this.

It can morph into any of the following:
a mesille twisted shortbow
a mesille twisted longbow
a mesille light crossbow
a mesille heavy crossbow
a mesille twisted bow (this is the composite bow base)

I do want to state that this does not make its own ammo, but it's still fun to take out, and I still think it would fit some people's RP beautifully. I've shown it to a few people reliable people for appraisal and I'm going off what they told me to price it at. The minimum bid is going to be 25 mil on it. If you're interested email me at GimmeDatPony@aol.com or AIM me at GimmeDatPony.

What was the last acceptable bid on this bow?

I cant see this being worth the trouble to own if it varies with enchant as well as what type of ranged weapon it wants to be, which will make you carry a bundle of each type of ammo in your quiver/cloak.

Now if it generated its own ammo to accomodate its morphing moods, yea.

Like the girl said, it's completely fun to take out and have in your hand.
Also if I could spare the coin I'd buy it for RP.
Again, right buyer will snatch it up.

Unless it's a case of another bow which Tsin must have in his locker-blackhole.

Tsin's rep might force him to hold items for awhile till the dust settles and folks decide to give him another shot. So that dark hole might need to become an infinite bag of holding for awhile.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of course, but I did go out of my way to provide all the information on this item for those interested in actually buying it. I'm not sure why anyone not interested is posting in this thread.

The current bid on this is 25 million to Lochiven.

The bow is really cool as I have personally tested it out myself. The bad thing as others have said is the fact of needing 3 ammo types because at any time you can be hunting and BAM it morphs.

I still think it's a fun item, although not really fitting for my ranger or I'd have scooped it up long ago.

It's an awesome weapon. I still remember Tsin claiming it would be the "ranged version of Sorrow".

Without any other bids, this will be sold Thursday night to Lochiven for 25 million. If there's more interest, go ahead and email or IM me. Thanks!
