Types of Claidhmores

[Sypher]

This is thread for all the types of claidhmores and claid like weapons out there in current *active* existence. If you know of one you can post it's stats and possibly owner also.

[Sypher]

Start things off.

You remove a translucent black glaes claidhmore from in your enveloping dark cloak.

>l claid
Crafted from sturdy black glaes, this claidhmore shows clear signs of expert dwarven craftsmanship. An uncut chunk of blood red ruby set into the pommel is the only relief from the otherwise all black weapon. Below the wickedly spiked quillions, the flat of the blade is etched with a single word, "Nemesis."


Careful examination indicates the black glaes claidhmore has a base strength of 99 and a base durability of 265. You also determine the current integrity of the black glaes claidhmore to be at 100.0%.

18 pounds or so.

3x, newstyle, currently active.

[Khariz]

I could type, copy , and paste all day long, and still not ever scratch the surface. I'll start on this later if I feel like it. I know the names, owners and stats of about 15 old style claids, and countless new style.

Right now, I own "an eonake claidhmore". 4x, new style, 7 pounds.

[tehgreek]

a razor-sharp mithril claidhmore - Saw Triex with it around town.

If memory serves, the enchant is +8 (ie, -2), old style, 16lbs

[Loyrl]

Well since you said all I might as well throw my crappy ones out there.

A claidhmore - Old style yay
An aquamarine claidhmore - new style 6lbs
and one of the orange handled with black stripes claidhmore. -I'll edit later.

[Khariz]

I'm currently using this one:

a black laen claidhmore

You see a glyph-like mark on the laen claidhmore:



/\
.| |.
{= ][ =}
_) (_
||
)(
"Leviathan" is written below the mark in small, light writing.

It has 10 points of extra weighting, as is well known for having such, having been listed on Krakii and other claid repositories for years.

I love that eonake claid. Possible more than the shaalk one.

Roundtime: 5 sec.

J>assess claidh
You assess the claidhmore for structural weaknesses and strengths.
Careful examination indicates the serrated laen claidhmore has a base strength of 99 and a base durability of 265. You also determine the current integrity of the serrated laen claidhmore to be at 100.0%.
You heft the weapon a few times...but note nothing unusual about it.

I used to have one of those. I think I sold it for 20-25 million sometime in 2004-2005.

[Khariz]

And now they sell for 45min - 55ish.

[Silique]

4x new style - vultite claidh.
6 lbs

can you post an assess of this claid?

also i got a 4x old style 50 point crit claid, which is the hardest critting in the lands.
Besides i know of only one better then mine and though its owner is very reliable, i don't know it's stats are as he claims 6x old style and 60 points of crit weighting, i offered him my left nut for it and he wouldn't budge. i don't think he will ever sell. and he will remain nameless unless he wants to reveal himself.

[Fallen]

You own as in it is on your locked account, or a new account you're using, or was your ban lifted?

[DaCapn]

a notched shock-infantry claidhmore

After a careful inspection you determine that a notched shock-infantry claidhmore requires skill in twohanded weapons to use effectively.
It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of steel.
Roundtime: 5 sec.

You carefully examine the shock-infantry claidhmore and determine that the weight is about 12 pounds.
Roundtime: 5 sec.

Anyone know if this one is worthless? I don't know anything about claidhmores. I think I found it at the pawn a couple years ago and it has been in my locker since. Looks like it was from EG 2006. No glyph.

[War Angel]

a wickedly-edged dark mithril claidhmore - 1x crit-weighted old style, 10 lbs

a serrated invar claidhmore - red beam?, crit-weighted new style, 15 lbs

a razor sharp skull-pommelled claidhmore - crit-weighted new style, actioned skull, 13 lbs

a huge black jagged-edged claidhmore with a pair of silvered outstretched wings forming the guard - no idea -

Like yours, this one assesses as heavy crit weighting, as you are assessing the overage.

:( They're worth a few hundred thousand silvers. No out of the ordinary properties but look nice.

[budartagnan]

I've currently got a something something kelyn claidhmore. +10 newstyle.

Recently had an ora claidhmore with a description I can't remember, +10 newstyle.


In the olden days I had a veil iron claidhmore +25 oldstyle, and a white ora claidhmore +10 oldstyle and sancted (Kinshack's).

If that veil iron one is around and someone still has it, I'll give you 150 mil for it right now.

[Fallen]

Bah. How did you get 150 mill? I thought you hardened all your assets?

[Khariz]

I just sold a bunch of stuff, actually, around when I got Sorrow.

Edit: Buying some of them back as we speak.

[Fallen]

Sell stuff publicly you ass..face! I've nothing interesting left to buy but that damned lance.

[Khariz]

Hehe, I tend to get more for things when I sell them under the table. I don't have people bitching about my rediculous prices.

[Fallen]

True enough. The whole, "But that item has gone for less", argument goes out the window when your selling something that isn't otherwise available.

[Durgrimst]

Hehe, I tend to get more for things when I sell them under the table. I don't have people bitching about my rediculous prices.

Heh, he does have high prices, but I have bought some nice weapons from him.

[budartagnan]

I sold it in '99 when I left for college for something like $850. Yeah, probably could have gotten more, but I was desperate for cash.

I think Nephrenia paid 11 mil for it at the auction over the summer of 98? Something in that ballpark.

Inflation much?

[Michaelous]

Like yours, this one assesses as heavy crit weighting, as you are assessing the overage.

that a 4x as well?

[Khariz]

that a 4x as well?

Nope, it's a 3x.

[Carsyn]

burnished vultite claidhmore, 4x newstyle, about 14lbs

With an edge to give a razor pause and a flawless silvery surface that reflects light like a mirror, the blade of this magnificent weapon embodies beauty and efficiency. A simple black vultite crossguard curves to two sharp points that run almost parallel to the blade, and the ebonwood hilt is wrapped in a fine black mithril wire that provides additional purchase.

Kinshack used it for some time from what I understand.

I'm in the market for a better claid if anyone out there wants to get rid of theirs. I'll pay more than Khariz :)

Carsyn, player of Kraytorh

[Khariz]

Good luck with that. And by "that" I mean both finding a better claidhmore and paying more than me!

[The Ponzzz]

0x Claid with acid flares AND the weighting.

[Apathy]

post a log Ponzz, I need to see that in action

[The Ponzzz]

Gavis actually owns it in Platinum. I don't have any great info on it. But it does have weighting and the flares. It was insane.

[DwarvenTank]

*burnished vultite claidhmore, 4x newstyle, about 14lbs*


You converted it to newstyle? Thats a shame :(

[Danical]

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU CONVERT IT TO NEWSTYLE??!?!?!?!!1

[Carsyn]

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU CONVERT IT TO NEWSTYLE??!?!?!?!!1

I didn't convert it to newstyle, was newstyle when I bought it.

Carsyn, player of Kraytorh

[DwarvenTank]

Carsyn, player of Kraytorh

I'm the one that sold it to you and it was old style when I had it. So either you converted it or its still oldstyle.

[Stanley Burrell]

I sold an old-style "an imflass claidhmore" a few years ago. Had a show. Haven't seen it in quite some time. I'd never lightened it, and it weighed 7 pounds without ever having been lightened, at that. I feel like I sold it to either Nathan, Kraniak or Yorvil. Edit: Not entirely certain though, all my old logs are on a Pentium II laptop... I hope it's still around somewhere and being put to good use.

[Carsyn]

I'm the one that sold it to you and it was old style when I had it. So either you converted it or its still oldstyle.

Damn, you're right, it IS oldstyle. I even have my Wspec in twohanded swords. Must have forgot. Gettin old will do that. The mind is the second thing to go.

Still in the market for a better one. Still paying more than Khariz, no matter what he says.

How about this. When you find a better one, you sell me that one, and I won't outbid you :)

The raffle is for "A claidhmore with acid flares.".
The tickets sell for 5000 silvers each.
The drawing has been held with the following winner(s):
Ombrey


So, that sounds pretty badass.. wasn't aware of that raffle whenever it happened, I have to say I'm pretty damn surprised to see a flaring claidhmore.. wonder if we'll see more?

In the past four weeks I don't think I've played more than 6 hours, cumulatively, of GemStone. Within that time, I've found four enhancives. One of them being an enhancive steam flaring hammer with an enchant twice as powerful as the magical metal it's made out of (faenor.)

If the mechanics are there and the possibility exists, then at the rate I've been seeing really bizarre things appear, I'd expect to see some really funky critter drops. There's probably been all sorts of cool things fed back into the treasure generator/lost to the janitor, I'm certain.

[septus]

Anyone seen the acid claidhmore in action? I'm curious if they're normal acid flares or something more potent.

[GSMeureii]

Most of you already know about it, but for those that don't here she is.

a white shaalk claidhmore 4x oldstyle, incredible weighting on top of that of a normal claidhmore. Some will debate that fact, but having compared to other claids you will never convince me otherwise. Oh, and it assesses like this:

You swap your white shaalk claidhmore from your left to your right hand.
>assess my claid
You assess the claidhmore for structural weaknesses and strengths.

Careful examination indicates the white shaalk claidhmore has a base strength of 99 and a base durability of 290. You also determine the current integrity of the white shaalk claidhmore to be at 100.0%.

Checking out the claidhmore, it looks like it's incredibly weighted to inflict more critical blows.

Roundtime: 23 sec.

How much?

[Khariz]

Its not for sale, nor will it ever be.

[Stanley Burrell]

Anyone seen my old imflass claid? It could've easily been made into the lightest claidhmore. Not the golden imflass or the ithloss. "An imflass claidhmore" w/ a show and ~6 pounds unlightened.

[SHAFT]

Its not for sale, nor will it ever be.

at least they know the option is there
