Elanthia's Interesting OHBs

[time4fun]

So a lot of you know I collect OHBs, but I also keep a running list of some of Elanthia's interesting OHBs- past or present- and their current whereabouts (if known to me). Obviously, I don't share information about current owners of interesting OHBs, and some folks don't want people to know their weapons exist period (so those aren't listed). But I figured I'd share my list of interesting OHBs for those of you who collect, or those of you who are just interested in GS arcana. There've been some interesting weapons released over the years, and sometimes it's neat to take a moment to appreciate how creative our GMs have been over the years.

Any weapons that are presumed missing will have a * next to them. If you happen to know something with a * is NOT missing, feel free to post here or send me a PM.

And if you know of any really interesting OHBs- past or present- that you want to add to the list, feel free to post. And note- this is not a list of Elanthia's most powerful OHBs. Weapons with high enchants and/or a lot of weighting, for example, aren't generally on the list.

And if you own any of these and want to raise silvers, feel free to reach out to me. Even if I don't want it, I may know someone who does.

Okay, for the 2 of you who actually care- here's the (hugely incomplete) list:

Nice list.

[Androidpk]

Who has the stormhammer?

[time4fun]

Who has the stormhammer?


Anything with a * in front is presumed lost.

As far as I know, no one has seen it in an extremely long time

[m444w]

Stormhammer is a 2hander, not a blunt. And it's not lost, just not for sale, and owned by a more secretive person.

[Androidpk]

Too many *'s :/

There was a one handed version. I know who has the one you are referring to.

[time4fun]

Added a racial mace for humans/dwarves

[RSR]

Starsfury is not fusion, unless the ability to add fusion slots was offered at some point. It was not released with them however.

King's Fury I would recommend the owner have sung to as in plat it only sings as a +10 weapon, not the 5x it was advertised at. Assist if it is not 5x.

GoS hammer is heavily damage weighted:
The hammer resonates with your voice, indicating that it enhances its owner in the following ways:
It provides a bonus of 10 to Max Health.
It provides a bonus of 10 to Mana Recovery.
It provides a bonus of 10 to Stamina Recovery.

You're also missing at least two returning hammers:
a razern throwing hammer decorated with blue and white cocktarice feathers -3x MCW (released in plat in 2007, believe it was a Foehn's promise item from prime, but not 100% sure.)
a large-headed veil iron throwing hammer capped with an urglaes spike -5x returner, released at Droughtman's (possible this is one of the 10x permablessed ones you mentioned)

[everan]

Morning Stars

A gem encrusted vultite morning star x 2 (Gem Eating weapons (https://gswiki.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Gem-eating_weapon)- one is presumed lost; one is around)



I picked this up from someone who obviously wanted to own one of those weapons:

a darkened sack with the image of a gem encrusted morning star stitched in fine silver thread

Great info here, thank you RSR.

I think one of those returners is one of the three, but definitely didn't have the one with the feathers. Are we sure it came out in prime?

Also- if anyone has that GoS hammer in prime. would love to own it.

I'll update this info ASAP!

Oh- can you confirm whether any of these are still present in prime?

Ha, I've been wanting that damn star forever.

[RSR]

Nope, I own all three in plat however. Starsfury is 6x, phenomenally crit weighted(34 points), rot flares, and ethereal strung in plat. GoS hammer is a fully unlocked splitter in plat.

[time4fun]

Added two morning stars: troll bane and orcbane

[time4fun]

Added a morphing/mech flaring star

Updated mech flaring section

[Gsgeek]

Knockout Flares: There are at least 3 knockout flaring OHBs (all maces I believe). Two are currently around; one is presumed missing

One of my characters has a couple weapons with knockout flares.
Nothing too special, I think they are probably more common than they seem, just lockered.
Anyway, ones a 2x hammer and the others an altered 4x morning star. I also probably have a 3x hammer somewhere in my lockers.

[Jeril]

Aganii has a splitting blunt, I forget if he ever posted stats on it or not. So you can dig for them, ask or something.

[Aganii]

Not sure if it is the fully unlocked hammer you mentioned but it is "an enormous dark rolaren war hammer" 8x T4 ensorcelled

[Aanton]

I have a bunch of fun stuff to add from over in plat, but we all know that plat isn't real. :cry:

[Wyrom]

There's going to be one in the Q4 auction! Not a morning star or a mace though.

It's not real. Who uses cudgels? Might as well be an estoc.

[Luftstreitkräfte]

During the shattered days I used to ambush a lot with a crowbill. It worked really really well. Not as well as a mace though, but the lower RT on the crowbill was nice.

Would like to see that in a box drop. golvern crowbill +10 blunt +10 ambush

[time4fun]

I hate you.


Also, I used to use an estoc =(

Cudgels are awful for 2 reasons:

1) everything about them mechanically
2) they take up "shillelagh" as an alternate name, preventing it from use on a runestaff :(

THERE ARE NO BAD OHBs.

ONLY BAD PEOPLE WHO DON'T APPRECIATE THEM

[Wyrom]

I used a scimitar, so I understand using a horrible weapon base.

Whatever, I'd kill to own the health vial flaring one.

But you could never kill that person. Their health is everlasting.

[Wyrom]

Hmm. That's not keyed to a specific weapon type... Would you kill for a mace or morning star version!?

[time4fun]

Hmm. That's not keyed to a specific weapon type... Would you kill for a mace or morning star version!?

Morning star (maces are too ambush-y, which isn't great for flare procs), but I'd love mana or spirit vials if it were OHB Chrismukkah.

Though honestly, I just want to cross "vial flares" off of my list of flares I don't have yet.

GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL

[Warriorbird]

Whatever, I'd kill to own the health vial flaring one.

I may've sold a vial flarer cheap because it was so terrible.

*innocent face*

Before moving over to plat I actually had a pair of shillelagh's that were mace-based. One of a long list of projects that never got off the ground. I got rid of them at some point several years ago. No clue if they're still around now.

[Karmacoma]

Note on Kingsfury info, especially to whomever has it in Plat:

The weapon came out wrong, it was supposed to be 5x/7x, but for some reason, was a base of +10. I assisted for it, and while it took a while, once the creating GM got his hands on it, it was fixed to 5x/7x very quickly. Also, it has plasma flares.

[time4fun]

Post-auction update with 3/4 auction OHBs added

[Wyrom]

You should add the whip!

[time4fun]

Need permission! And details! And for her to sell it to me!
