[Buying] Mage weapon

[Fartbarf]

Hello,

I am just coming back to UO after a few years and am completely befuddled by the new equipment. I was hoping some of you could guide me in my purchase of a mage weapon.

I am looking for a mage weapon that is purely defensive. I intend to run a pure bard with mage and med. The weapon needs to have Spell channeling and defense chance increase. Other than that...I am not sure what is possible. I do not know the best type (ie dagger, kryss, bokuto), the best material to have it made out of, or what other attributes/stats I should include. Any help is appreciated.

Maybe say to hell with a good weapon and siege bless something else? I am consistently getting -20 mage weps from mobs.

On a different topic, is there a way to craft slayer instruments?

Thanks,

FartBarf

I'll go ahead and answer your last question: No - (and don't get me started on how I feel about that)...

The common mage weapon for defense is:

-15 MW
SC (no -1fc)
15DCI

many people like the wooden weapons as you can enhance with bloodwood to add 2HPR

Anyone have an estimate for a bokuto mage wep with -15, spell channelling no penalty, 15 sci and enhanced with bloodwood?

Is no one able to produce a weapon like this?
