Description of Serrated Recade? 10/30/2015 03:23 PM CDT
Does anyone know what a serrated recade actually looks like? It seems to be a fictitious weapon that only exists in Elanthia, so I only have the appraisal to go by.

A serrated haralun recade with a balanced blade is a heavy edged melee-ranged weapon.
A serrated haralun recade with a balanced blade trains the large edged skill.

You are certain that it could do:
heavy (9/26) puncture damage
heavy (9/26) slice damage
fair (5/26) impact damage
no (0/26) fire damage
no (0/26) cold damage
no (0/26) electric damage

The serrated recade is inadequately (4/17) designed for improving the force of your attacks.

You are certain that the recade is reasonably (7/17) balanced and is decently (6/17) suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.

You are certain that the serrated recade is extremely resistant to damage (15/18), and is in pristine condition (98-100%).

The serrated recade is made with metal.
You are certain that the serrated recade weighs exactly 54 stones.
You are certain that the serrated recade is worth exactly 1159197 Kronars.

According to my research the real recade is a ceremonial axe/club mixture used by some West African groups.

I think it then got distorted when it was put into the forging system.

Not that I made any particular decision about how it would get implemented originally in DR....

I'd have personally taken the ornamental clubaxe and beefed the heck out of the axe so as to better split some heads :) Then after achieving legendary renown in the lands someone would have copied my idea... then the gnomes. Always the gnomes. "Improving" things. Thus the serrated recade was born.
