5x Gem-eating Brawler

[Dain]

a bejeweled heavy mithglin sai (5x)

Weapon attributes change with different gems. When using flares, the sai will flare every time and has a chance to double flare.

Diamonds = vhcw
rubies = vhdw
pearls = blessing

other gems for flares

Here is a shot of it in action. Fire flares against a troll with my cleric.

You thrust with a bejeweled heavy mithglin sai at a tomb troll!
AS: +300 vs DS: +157 with AvD: +19 + d100 roll: +25 = +187
... and hit for 15 points of damage!
Minor puncture to the right leg.
The gem in the pommel of a bejeweled heavy mithglin sai glows brightly.
... 35 points of damage!
Flames incinerate scalp completely and blacken skullcap. Not very fashionable.
The tomb troll is stunned!
The tomb troll howls in agony as the flames dance over her body!
... 50 points of damage!
A large patch of flesh is seared off a tomb troll's back.
The webbing around a tomb troll catches fire!
... 25 points of damage!
Burst of flames char abdomen a crispy black.


** Your heavy mithglin sai flares with a burst of flame! **

... 25 points of damage!
Burst of flames to left hand fries palm. Ouch!
The tomb troll moans in pain as the flames singe her skin!
... 30 points of damage!
Flames incinerate muscle tissue in neck exposing the trachea. More than you ever wanted to see.

i'll go 20M on this

Vrairdrick

[allen]

great deal at 20m if you ask me, that's like a VHCW, VHDW, flaring blessable weapon, not at the same time of course. just think you'll never have to carry another weapon again, if you're strictly brawling of course

[Fallen]

Sai is a great base, too, IMO.

[Jayvn]

after you feed it how long does it last..or is it perm till you switch to a diff gem

[Helsfeld]

Pretty sure its based like feras weapons they start off strong and get weaker down the road... but the gems do crumble if it makes you feel any better you use to be able to type amb (critter) and have 0 second RT with this weapon not anymore of course

[Dain]

Usually a gem will last a hunt or hunt an a half. But in my experience some gems last longer than others too. For example diamonds last longer than a star sapphire.

[Stry]

Pretty awesome.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

When I had the hammer none of the gems seemed to last very long at all - when you consider the number of times you swing a weapon you can burn through gems very quickly. It's more of a very cool weapon that is awesome to have when you need that extra umph for crit/damage/bless, but not so awesome to use all the time because of the maintenance.

I would estimate between 30-50 swings per gem. As far as maintenance, it really wasn't that big a deal, unless you only do warcamps, afterall critters drop gems fairly easy. I also loved the fire flares and hunting trolls so I just saved my sapphires in another pouch.. really not a big deal.

Any sapphire works? If so those are pretty common.

[gs4-relvar]

I would guess it's based of the gems value. A swing likely takes off a set amount, say 100 off a gem, and when the gems value reaches 0, :crumble:

Over the course of a characters lifetime it'll cost you some change, but to me it'd still be worth it for the cool factor/usefulness.

If I had my items sold from the maze I'd be bidding ;)

[Fallen]

All the gems added up still wouldn't approach the cost of owning individual weapons with the possible properties, assuming a VHCW or VHDW 5x sai even exists.

[BriarFox]

Not to mention that it flares on every hit and regularly doubles up. That's pretty nice.

[Herachio]

And, we have gem jars now which makes gem using devices a bit nicer since character item limits were put in.

[Dain]

Yeah, any sapphires would work.

[Tumbadoo]

bond and hurl...the end.

[m444w]

bond and hurl and void sucks it into oblivion, or I get unlucky and die and then a critter takes it and despawns...the end.

fixed.

[GS4Faulkil]

I've been using the broadsword version of this for a couple of years with my Paladin and can't imagine using a different weapon. The maintenance really isn't an issue and it's amazingly fun to hunt with. Some of the Paladin bonding features don't work with this weapon and I still prefer it over bonding with some other weapon.

There is a pretty good writeup on these weapons on krakiipedia.org.

Sapphires create fire flares except blue sapphires which create cold flares.

[Dain]

Bump and lets call it sold if no more interest by tomorrow evening

[Senglent]

Yeah after getting one you pretty much don't need another weapon, just lots of PP's to get the damn thing enchanted up. (x6 and looking for 6k blocks and bigger!)

And as for having and using one for a good bit now, I will say the gem value does play in to it, as far as how long the gem lasts. Granted I have it on my rogue so ambushing I probably get more use then open swingers.

[Grim Reaper]

I'll meet the 25mil buyout on this item.

[Fallen]

Nice weapon, hope you enjoy it.

[Vrairdrick]

Damn, I didn't even see a buyout listed...oh well.
