tyrium serrated iltesh 08/02/2016 01:16 AM CDT

That said, I know WAVE was giving a blank line when I first made it, and I'm wondering if TURN had a script tied to it, as well, which is why I could not turn it when tempering it.

I did an item-bug in game as well, but figured why not cover all my bases + warn people about tempering them in the meantime.

Where'd the instructions come from?

Regular iltesh instructions can be found in weaponsmithing books now (I don't know what level), but serrated iltesh instructions are a rare drop from the non-darkbox games at Safari.

The serrated version is supposed to app [slightly] better than the regular one, but I don't necessarily see it. A 48-stone serrated tyrium iltesh has one point more puncture and slice than a 51-stone kertig iltesh, but I'll have better data if I end up making a serrated kertig one next.

Is it a permanent like the other serrated sets or limited use?

Single-use, regrettably!

AFAIK, the other serrated weapons were verby and had some stats shifted around, but they weren't necessarily better than their normal counterparts. My understanding is that the serrated iltesh is explicitly better (although not by a wide margin?) than the regular version, along with being verby (although the verbs are acting up a bit?).

Last night I managed to track down someone who had the other new template, the serrated khopesh.

Wasn't going to risk tyrium with it right away, so we went with heavy kertig:

A kertig serrated khopesh is a medium edged melee-ranged weapon.
A kertig serrated khopesh trains the small edged skill.

You are certain that it could do:
poor puncture damage
very heavy slice damage
heavy impact damage
no fire damage
no cold damage
no electric damage

The serrated khopesh is fairly designed for improving the force of your attacks.

You are certain that the khopesh is dismally balanced and is excellently suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.

You are certain that the serrated khopesh is rather reinforced against damage, and is in pristine condition.

The serrated khopesh is made with metal.
You are certain that the serrated khopesh weighs exactly 52 stones.

I have to say, not bad. Not bad at all.

Definitely worth trying in tyrium for the next one.

Looks like a cutlass that trades a tiny bit of puncture for impact.

The FOI and Suitedness make that weapon far superior to tyrium cutlass.

I feel like people sleep on FOI too much.

A 52 stone kertig cutlass has 3/10/8/4/4/9

The 52 stone kertig serrated khopesh has 2/10/8/5/2/12

A FOI of 4 vs. 5 isn't significant to me. The balance and suitability are, but I was simply comparing stats. You'll have to forgive me if my 5 word half second thought did not include a seven page analysis of the comparison.

You're also comparing a tyrium cutlass (47 stone or so) to a kertig khopesh (52 stone or so).

That I was from the squanto rare weapon page on epedia.

Don't sleep on +1 FOI. Depending on what you hunt the stun/disarm aspect of FOI can be straight up awesome.

I wasn't knocking your comments at all on the weapon, just pointing out my thoughts on it.
