Disarming

[dmac188]

Anyone have any advice to avoid getting a weapon disarmed while hunting? Is there any surefire way for a non-returning weapon?

I think the only surefire way to not get disarmed is to not be armed in the first place.

Don't vote for democrats. Or..... Get the CM skill disarm and train that up.

CM skills for disarm and combat defense are the only things that help. Even then, you're still going to get disarmed on a good enough roll.

The only way to ever be disarm proof is warrior guild disarm trained and cdef. Even then you are at the whims of a RNG.

Thanks for the responses. If a player is disarmed and loses a weapon will GMs return it? What if another player picks it up?

I feel like I can never hunt with a good weapon because of this.

Depends on the GM, and it depends if a player recovered it or not.

From my understanding a GM might return it if the janitor picks it up but if another player picks it up you're shit out of luck, unless that player returns it of course.

For rogues in lighter armor, CMAN VANISH and wait out the RT is a solid option.

Or to not hunt in areas that disarm or curse.

To be clear, this is what I know about preventing Disarm Weapon:

1. Train CM for 5 ranks of Disarm Weapon, each rank is +15 to defend against the maneuver
2. Train CM for 5 ranks of Cunning Defense, each rank is +3 to defend against every maneuver
3. It would take a full 100 ranks of Combat Maneuvers for a pure to do all this
4. Anyone can still be the victim of Disarm Weapon due to bad luck with an open roll
5. Be sure to register your weapon
6. GMs will sometimes replace a weapon lost to the janitor, especially if it is the first time
