"Got plenty of super cool stuff that doesn't necessarily fit my immediate need. If you are interested in offering similar items in trade that may be geared more towards sorcery or thievery...send a mail :)

Rolarg's Pitchfork of Epic Haystacking (5x decently crit weighted disarm-returning trident complete with it's own live in spirit)

A fully unlocked zesty toy of neatitidue (with merchant rechargeable wall of force, 39/40 charges)

A soon-to-be customized 4x tier 1 briar broadsword

Also a zesty prayerbook with a pocket, strange unique gems that will go to the gemshop if noone shows interest, and assorted other trick or treating/digging things that i've yet to sort. "

Briar Flare explanation:
Lyrarose has a rare talent for infusing weapons with some pretty vicious vines of briars and thorns. When you take hold of the weapon, they will dig into you and slowly siphon a health point off you. Having enough blood points stored in its greedy vines will allow a flare to go off that has a chance of damaging the critter/person you are fighting and poisoning it.

You remove a base sword from in your velvet box.
As soon as the base sword is in your hand, several vines of briar and thorn slither out of the top of the blade and twine about your wrist. Droplets of crimson blood are quickly absorbed by the writhing vines.

You feel a slight prick as the briar imbedded in your wrist digs a little deeper. The vines writhe briefly, veins of crimson pulsing within the viridian vegetation.

As you strike the giant, droplets of blood are sucked from it to your base sword, running up the blade to be absorbed by the vines wrapped around your wrist.

You swing a base sword at a frost giant!
AS: +466 vs DS: +215 with AvD: +9 + d100 roll: +2 = +262
... and hit for 21 points of damage!
Minor puncture to the right leg.
As you strike the giant, droplets of blood are sucked from it to your base sword, running up the blade to be absorbed by the vines wrapped around your wrist.
Vines of vicious briars whip out from your base sword, raking The giant with its thorns. The giant looks slightly ill as the glistening emerald coating from each briar works itself under its skin.
... 30 points of damage!
Hard shove to the chest staggers the frost giant.
It is knocked to the ground!
The frost giant is stunned!

No enchant limitation provided that's all that's been done to it. Basically, no special abilities and no scripts, so enhancives are out for example.

The weapon shown was Tier 3.

Tier 1 has less max BPs than Tier 2 which has less than Tier 3 ;) Tier 2 has a couple fluff verb traps, and Tier 3 has a couple more. Tier 3 also has the potential to do extra damage on a flare than normal and to possibly get BPs from the critter. All of them, when full of BPs, can give an AS boost if you RAISE it and drain it of all blood points. The AS boost varies from tier to tier. All of them have a way to retract the thorns before putting the weapon away. If you forget to do this, expect pain. Every flare does cost some BPs, and these flares won't work against things that don't have blood.

I'm interested on either of these items - what kind of trades you looking at?


1) Rolarg's Pitchfork of Epic Haystacking (5x decently crit weighted disarm-returning trident complete with it's own live in spirit)

2) A decade old (yay for dusty lockers) misty five enchant golvern cutlass (inspecting as a falchion)that now has unbalance "rabbit-punching" flares.

and how much could one expect to pay for one of them briar weapons? This one for example?

[Kitsun]

Briar flares are brand new to the market. To my knowledge none have sold yet. There's only like 6 tier 1's in existence.

[Lambent]

so they are gonna cost a bit to begin with.....

[Jace Solo]

awesome ranger weapon...for RP of course

[BriarFox]

I'd buy the briar sword.

[Lambent]

depending on price, so would I.... but obviously not for the same reasons
