Undead Bane and Gore Katana

[dgryphon]

Update:

I have a ton of emails to go through on this, but let me start by saying I've received a buyout offer. If your email was information related I'll still respond with the information you wanted for further reference on your part. If your email was trade/cash/combo offers sorry for the delayed response but I was working all day with only my phone to reply on. The offer I received didn't require exchange rate haggling, or item appraisals so I think the fairest route is to count it as the first buyout offer.

-------------------------------------------------

People keep asking me if I'm going to sell this katana. I think it's neat, but haven't found one of my alts it suits yet, my paladin isn't really the katana type. I thought I'd give those that seem to really really want it a chance at it so it has an opportunity to be used and enjoyed, rather than sitting in my locker.

That being said, if it doesn't sell I'm not in a large hurry to be rid of it. I can always use an extra permabless for my alts, and I generally keep gear that is useful.

min bid: 25mil
buyout: 50mil

So the quick weapon stats

4x new style katana
undead bane
gore scripts
heavily crit weighted on everything
massively crit weighted on undead (undead bane)
"permablessed" (undead bane)
This weapon was created by Wyrom to be an in game version of the katana used by Michonne from walking dead.

descriptions and scripts below (the change based on how bloody it gets)

You tap a long-bladed rolaren katana wrapped in black and white rayskin, which is in your right hand. - blood

You tap a long-bladed rolaren katana smeared with blood, which is in your right hand. - various blood messages

>l kat
The rolaren katana is hand-forged from folded rolaren, with a radiant edge, and smeared with blood. The hilt is wrapped with criss-crossed white over black rayskin, with the pommel and crossguard being crafted from bronze, which pool small amounts of blood.
You see nothing unusual.
There appears to be something written on it.
>read kat
Etched into the rolaren blade, it reads:
"Misery Released."

Wyrom stated there were about 16 verb scripts associated with this katana, I've only found around 12. These scripts change based on the amount of blood current on the katana, so this is a rough list. So it's an exercise for someone with more time.

>rub kat
You run a hand over your rolaren katana, wiping off some blood and ectoplasm.
>
>clench kat
You grip your rolaren katana, allowing the blood and ectoplasm to pool in your clenched hand.

That sir is pretty sweet. Good luck in the sale.

[Sav]

The amount of weighting the same as grim/bandit bane?

[Archigeek]

Well it's hard to speculate on these sorts of things, but for CCF, I believe he said the undead bane weapons added 8 points of weighting vs the undead? That would put it at 18 points, or towards the high end of "exceptional."

Nice weapon.

[Roblar]

Wyrom specifically mentioned masterful so he must have bumped up the scripted weighting boost against undead for this custom item.

Nice stuff.

[HermieTheDentist]

Reconsidering for the time being.

Respectfully,
Matt

[Archigeek]

Wyrom specifically mentioned masterful so he must have bumped up the scripted weighting boost against undead for this custom item.

Nice stuff.

So that would be 2 more points, since in pretty much all cases to date, anything above heavy has meant the bottom of the scale for that adjective. So masterful would be 20 points of weighting, or 2x the heavy. A nice weapon for sure.

Surprised daiyon isn't in here bidding already...

Someone needs to buy my armor so I can bid on this.

Unless the scale katana DFs on KP are incorrect, this weapon also has increased damage factors vs regular katanas.

One-handed DF vs scale listed on KP is .275

Minimum DF vs scale for this outcome: .309
ER success margin: 86
Raw damage: 27 (27/86 = ~.313 DF)
Crit damage: 30

A DF of .308 is insufficient to generate 27 raw damage.
_________________________

KP two-handed DF vs scale is listed at .425. But this is too low for the two-handed log.

It may have its own enhanced DF table. You'd need to check each armor group with both 1 and 2 handed grips.

Shit I probably had 1605 running in those shots. I'll provide cleaner ones when I get home tonight. Pretty sure its standard katana df.

Even with 1605 active, there is still an issue with the results. It could be that the katana DF vs scale is actually ~.400, not .425 as listed on KP. This seems to be the most likely cause of the discrepancy.

... and hit for 44 points of damage!
Deep slash to the zombie's neck severs an artery!

Raw damage: 24
Crit damage: 20

Assuming 1605 and no lore, the effective DF is (.425 * 1.1 = .467)
(.467 * 53 = 26 raw damage), but the actual raw damage is 24

This DF is too high and that's without any lore bonus you may have.
________________

Without 1605 and a DF of .425 (as listed on KP)
(.425 * 53 = 23 raw damage)

Here the DF is too low.

The DF range that satisfies the 24 raw damage result is .444 to .463. Easily attained with a base DF of .400 and 1605 with addition lore bonus.

[dgryphon]

Reading and responding on my phone. My 1605 provides a 14% increase to DF.

That's it then. The correct two-handed katana DF vs scale is .400 not .425. With 1605 + lore your DF is .456 which falls within the expected range. One-handed DF is .313 which also satisfies the actual results.

Also, you have attack results with minimum 23 and 24 pts of crit weighting. Don't know if any of that is coming from DEX bonus or not.

this thing is now making me think of all the weapons/armor that have been inspired by other media. Only others I can think off offhand are the Bleach steel weapons/spirit bow (another katana in the mix there)

Go with the whole popular-katana-from-another-medium theme. Someone should make a Kenshin katana where you can FLIP it to do blunt damage.

[Leew]

I'll do the bo of 50mil and be done. Making a whole toon to go with the sword. worth the money for the rp i suppose. ty

[Archigeek]

Not a weapon/armor, but we all walked around in Felicia Day vests for a good six months. Heh.

[BriarFox]

I have a Wheel of Time warder cloak, though I adapted it a bit. It used to be "a camouflaged warder's cloak that seems to blending into the surroundings"; now it's "a simple faenor-stitched cloak that seems to blend into the surroundings." It's actually a 3/120 shoulder-worn, but it has the cloak noun and hood scripts. There's also several heron-marked blades out there.

I'm sure there's a good bit of other stuff, but other than general categories like "steampunk," I can't think of it off the top of my head.

Droughtman had Jon Snow's sword from Game of thrones as a prize.

I swear I remember Icingdeath and Twinkle (Drizzt swords) at one point.
