Hi, cross-posting from this Discord thread.

a faceted obsidian katana fused to a petrified widowwood spine

Like the glassy surface of a still pond at dusk, the obsidian blade's aqueous luster contrasts poignantly with the singular darkness resting beneath. It's sheen anneals amongst crystalline facets to that of a window looking out into primordial night. Petrified widowwood seamlessly limns the mune's elegant curve, fully engulfing the blade at its collar. The striated blue-black stone flares to form a bias-profile tsuba complete with organic cut outs, rapidly tapering to a sleek molded tsuka.

The script is T4 Valence and the katana has 20 services crit added above standard (needs another 10 to reach VHCW and begin appearing in the loresong).
Note: lesser transmute to mithril for a cheap and permanent difficulty reduction to a mere 1,116.

I'm looking for silvers or bloodscrip (800:1) and want to sell in the next week or two.

Buyout 324m, accepting bids until 10:00p server time on Wednesday the 16th.

180m to Lochiven (discord) sold and delivered!

Pretty sure the difficulty travels with the item - like you can't transmute bone to mithril for the reduced difficulty unless they've changed that rule

[gilchristr]

Obsidian axe maybe, but katana? Crazy...

[Helsfeld]

Soooo how much is it?

[ceil]

Napkin math it's like 600m to craft w/o fusion, so buyout at 400m maybe? But confidentially, I'm broke sooo best offer before HESS gets it I think.

I had it transmuted vultite -> obsidian in Feb and they changed the difficulty along with it, if it's not supposed to work like that wrt difficulty it should be as simple as a bugitem to get it lowered. You're definitely right about bone to mithril though, starting and ending materials have to be of the same category.

It is supposed to work like that. They've always changed difficulty with the material, for not weird options like this it's typically not much of a difference but on some edge cases you can get fairly large improvements to difficulty. Some of the woods randomly (ruic maybe) have huge negative mods for no reason. If you holy armament a non-white ora/eonake item then transmute to one of them that's a sizable boost to 330. Changing any already flaring item to drakar/rhimar/etc. or an already heavily+ sighted bow to sephwir are the other major ones.
