View Full Version : 6x-11x trollbane short sword
So you know the type, troll bane, scripted, cycles from 6x-11x as you hit trolls, you can hold it at 11x even if you're level 15. If you put it away while at 11x you'll not be able to pick it back up though unless there is a troll in the room, then you can (of course at level 28 this ceases to be an issue). Pretty decent fire flares. Some scripts that are fluff, others that locate nearby trolls. Elven historical loresong.
See like here for script and stuff examples:

an ancient eahnor short sword
>look short
Tiny wisps of smoke rise from the eahnor short sword's blade. Beautifully crafted and well balanced, you are not quite sure you have ever seen a short sword so finely made. Obviously elven workmanship, this short sword has ancient elven runes running along the blade. Alas, not being an elf, you can't make out what knowledge they seek to impart.
Cycles from +30 to +55.

Just to clarify, as I once owned this sword, if you are under trained for the 11x enchant it will cycle up to the max enchant you can hold and remain there through the higher cycles until it drops back to 6x.
Example if you were lets say level 20: 6x, 7x, 8x, 8x, 8x, 8x, 6x...
From my experience it seemed to flare less often than normal flares, but when they hit they were consistantly on the high end of damage and crit levels.
Awesome sword. I felt weird using it with my giant. Good luck with your sale.
No, it'll definitely go beyond what you can normally hold, because you can definitely not pick it back up afterwards if there isn't a troll in the room. I've run into that issue since my guy who was using it is only 25. He can't pick it up back up, so obviously it can go to 11x since if it were merely 10x he could.

I know you are the king of mechanics and I respect everything you do for the community, but this one I know for sure. I had this sword from about 16 trains to 30 trains and it helped me complete GOS tasks + master. I am what you label as one of those poor people and had very few high end items compared to someone like you, so I know this weapon inside and out unless a GM somehow changed things.
If you were 25 trains, you would see the last two cycles be 10x. 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 10x, and then back to 6x. It will only cycle to the highest enchant you can hold and stay there through each of the higher cycles until it drops back to 6x like in my example above.
It is true like you said though, if you were 25 and it is 11x cycle and you sheath it - you can't pick it back up unless a troll enters the room.
If you don't believe me - test it with a younger character and post here.
Not taking away from the awesomeness of this sword or trying to ruin your sale - it is still a very badass weapon and two cycles of 10x in that situation isn't much of a difference. If it is, just train a little more then you have it go up to the full 11x. Not hard at all to make it to 28.
Edit to add: maybe the discrepency could be that weapons normaly should not go to 11x and it doesn't have the same level requirement? Maybe that is it if what you said is true for your 25 trained character - but younger than that I know my math is correct because I used this at a very young train.

And come to find out mine wasn't the same as yours. Maybe the way yours cycles could be different. Mine was the 6x-10x variety according to the thread below and also how I traded it. I will say what I posted above is how things worked for me. I'm interested now to see if this one does the same or if someone at 15 trains gets the full cycle benefits. If I am wrong I will gladly admit to being a stupid-asshole and appologize.

As an interesting aside, the enchant only cycles on trolls and resets on non troll creatures. That means if you work it up to +55 you can use it to ambush PCs as long as you like and keep the high enchant.
