I've got a "minor" black ora jeddart axe in my locker that I'm not using.

I'm all confused now. As per the krakii site, there is apparently 'minor' black ora and 'major' black ora. Are treasure-system found black ora weapons 'minor' black ora? Like, presumably, this one:
http://www.playershops.com/item_detail.pl?item=a%20black%20ora%20twohanded%20sword

Surely this black ora is not increasing mana regen, cursed, and shadow-flaring?

How much would a 'minor' black-ora jeddart axe go for?
 

there is major black ora
(bunch of fancy stuff)

minor black ora
(not quite as much fancy stuff)

and ora that happens to be black
(2x vanilla)

In all likelihood, the ora in the treasure system is ora that happens to be black.

At 75k, i can almost guarantee that weapon is ora that happens to be black.
 

Note, however, that the 75k item is not a black-dyed ora item. As it says on the page:

"After a careful inspection you determine that a black ora twohanded sword requires skill in twohanded weapons to use effectively. It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of black ora."

So the material itself IS black ora.
 

>>I'm all confused now. As per the krakii site, there is apparently 'minor' black ora and 'major' black ora. Are treasure-system found black ora weapons 'minor' black ora?

No, they're "junk" black ora. Which is to say, almost the same as green or blue or purple ora. As I understand, they start life with a one-time curse, but with no scripts or flares or anything else interesting. (Maybe they're still permanently cursed? I'm not sure.) Either way, they really aren't worth much to anyone.

>>How much would a 'minor' black-ora jeddart axe go for?

The only difference between minor and major is this (on KP): "Major black ora weapons have all the same features but additionally can be attended once per day to teleport the user to a preset location."

As a guess, say 10-15 million for minor and 40+ for major. If you'd like a better appraisal, head to the marketplace folder.

>>So the material itself IS black ora.

Yeah, but that distinction doesn't matter so much anymore. For whatever reason, it was decided to dump boring black ora and veil iron into the treasure system, and the materials that were once considered extraordinarily rare are, well, not.

~Denil
 

gemstone is known to be 100% consistent in terms of materials and their specially scripted properties, so i guess you're right.

I'll say it again: it is ridiculously unlikely that is a true, scripted black ora item. Feel free to drop 75k on it.

Jinsem?

More seriously, the material it inspects as does matter to a lot of people, whether for alteration fodder, or to have a weapon that is made of a certain type of metal. I happen to like golvern myself, and I will pay (and have paid) large premiums in price simply because the material field is "golvern" as opposed to anything else. Black ora is rather common these days though, unfortunately.

>>Jinsem?

Yeah, I noticed he'd been buying them up before, but given the player shop prices it looks like he's had his fill. I suspect he has enough for a massive black ora golem by now, or whatever it was he had planned.

~Denil
 

He's been away from the game is why there's still cheap black ora around.

I think Jinsem is deployed to Iraq right now. But when he comes back, I think he'll be pleased at prices. He was happily paying more for every piece of black ora to come out of the system than people are even asking for it now. Not sure he'll be so happy at how common it is though.

-Grendeg
 

Hmm, I may well have been mistaken about my jeddart axe then. It was critter-found, and cursed me as soon as I picked it up, so I assumed that it had all the black ora properties. I'll have to check it out later.

I was wondering why people didn't seem interested when I found it. :-\

How is polearm RT calculated? I wanna get my lance swing down to 5, But I have a feeling I won't be able to do it with my lumbering giant. Somethin' tells me Dex and Agi may have something to do with it and right now his bonuses are low in those stats.

Thanks
 

Well take the base you got, so let's say Lance. that's +9 sec rt. RT is removed by your DEX and AGI bonus combined. So if the two equal a certain amount it takes 1 second off.

Bonuses	RT Removed
8	-1
23	- 2
38	-3
53	-4
68	-5

So as you can see, only Half krolvin, elves(all sorts), gnomes and halflings can swing em at 5 seconds. Other than that, you need yourself a enhancement for AGI or DEX(or both).

Hope that explains everything for you.

Interesting, it carried some baby blue fleece trousers on it.

I used to have a skull grafted vultite lance, and I swear it was magic metal blessable. I no longer have it, so could someone with one tell me if they are or not?

Thanks.

Short long answer...Some are, some aren't...I believe Khal sold em off the shelf as 4x blessable. However, almost as many have been modified as have remained the same. Mine for instance, is 5x lightining flares.

"What are we doing as a people and a nation to deserve the service and sacrifice of such men and women (in uniform)?
 

I have one. My paladin is currently bound to it and it accepts permanent guiding light flares. This leads me to believe that it is regularly blessable.
 

I know this is better placed in the CMAN folder, but I'm going to ask here since die hard poler's likely post here.

Dose your weapons DF factor into charge in any way?

How much round time dose charge create?

Thanks Tepes
 

So I'm finally getting around to trying to convert my old style naginatas.

Where do we do this again? Any weapon shop or just certain places?

.

Also, if its an old style it INSPECTS as a modified halberd; new style would be as a naginata?

There should be a portal in the weapons shop in all towns.

Thanks Prowse. I'll take a look.

Are there many of these around? I know it's kind of like crit weighting a mack truck, but I thought I'd ask the question. And for what it's worth I agree with the folks who think it really has no place in a game where we don't even have mounts. A lance on foot should be pretty worthless.

Be that as it may, I just had one made out of razern (lightly weighted I presume), and thought I'd ask the question.
