Thirteen Bastard Sword

Print Post  
So I ran the hidden hand chain and pulled a Thirteen from the end chest.  This thing is metalline, aligned, and has 7 augment slots.

Its a trap, isn't it? I'm trying to think up a build to use it, and it just feels like a less than optimal solution.

Its not so much that its a trap as it is just... not very good? Its also bound-to-character, making it even less optimal.

It is a cool cosmetic though.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Maybe a thrower build could use it.
If all the effects affect the projectile of course.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a "trap." I think it would just depend on the augments and such you put into it.

I found this pic on the DDO Forums:



Looks pretty solid to me. I'm guessing it would go well with a SWF or S&B build.

You could also slot 3 different Night Revels augs in there and deal so many neg levels.

I tested that a LONG time ago on some three-slotted longsword or shortsword (maybe it was handwraps?) and I didn't notice a difference in the # of negative levels bestowed between slotting one of those augments and slotting three in all three slots.

But if it did work, that would be a solid suggestion. Of course, in high reaper content, those neg levels disappear pretty quickly.

Whats up with all those essence augments slotted?  I thought you could only use one- they overwrote the other?

I believe they only override if they are a set bonus. But the individual ones should work.

Correct. The ones in that sword in the pic are all single essences and not part of a set.


Hmmm...interesting. I just noticed all the augments in the sword are the same color as their respective augment slots.

Strange.

The individual was testing to see if there was something hidden when slotting the correct color augs. Sadly there wasnt.

Yeah, went back and actually read the entire thread.

Too bad indeed.

Couldn't you imagine if the item also kept Dino slots it originally had when it debuted on Lamannia? Wow.  Cheesy

I still don't know if it would be enough to make bastard swords viable, but it is fun to think about.

Divinity is still BiS for a non-THF, non-Sacred Fist pure pally.

Wouldn't it be cool if a crafting system from one pack were actually used in another?

A while back the runes fit into a rune arm that had an augment slot.
