Skull Weapons

[Maldar]

We have been seeing some Skull weapons in the treasure chests. I didn't think much of it when all of them I was seeing had a magic item rating (Lesser, etc.) and mods on them, BUT........then I got two Skull Longswords that have no magic item rating nor mods. It is a simple "Exceptional" weapon that a Smithy would make (minus the DI that my Smith would have put on it making it). We don't get any other weapons without mods, etc. out of chests, so I think these "plain" weapons are going to come into play in this story arc. I suggest you keep the plain ones you find.

its a nice new graphic, but the reason their just "exceptional" with no mods is so people can imbue them (because the loot system doesnt produce useable weapons very well).

in short, those clean ones are usually the ones that people want if they want to use the new art.

@Smoot, wouldn't they theoretically be worth something (in specific imbue cases) since you don't have to use a whetstone to remove the DI?

 

[Smoot]

@grimiz yes, i was just thinking for the new graphic, but good point would save that too, 3-5m most shards just for the stone.

Publish notes say:

New Equipment (Cache and above)

• Human/Elf and Gargish Skull Longsword
• Human/Elf and Gargish Skull Gnarled Staff
• Human/Elf and Gargish Octopus Necklace
• Found as imbuable in Artisan Chests, randomly generated magical properties in all other chests.
  
  Although not totally accurate, because only the gargoyle necklace can be imbued

Wonder how many it would take to reforge them to get a good 100%...

As far as I can tell ancient weapons don't appear in search unless it's added to the description

Exceptional whips should spawn in Eodon Artisan chests.

Ancient weapons and skull weapons are two entirely different things. Skull weapons are regular weapons that just have a new graphic. Ancient weapons are merely decorative and designed to sit on the sword display stands from the dojo

I think the whips spawn in Eodon Warrior chests (at least according to this post by @Khyro: [Treasure Hunting] - Searchable Treasure Map Database ). It says that the skull long sword spawns in the Eodon Artisan chests.

I haven't done any Eodon chests to confirm but send @Khyro a message if the uo-cah site needs to be updated.

I am staying with the theme and using one for T hunting.



I wish the skull and handle stayed gold when you dye it.

yea I've seen randomly generated whips in some Eodon maps, I just hope exceptional ones spawn in the Artisan Eodon maps, I don't have many eodon maps to test it, but they're not listed in the patch notes like the exceptional sword & staves are though. so they might not spawn in T-maps (exceptional versions I mean)

 

[Great DC]

If your looking for randomly generated whips, they are in assassin cache and above chests. I havnt seen the plain the exceptional ones yet though, hard to gather low end eodon maps to test it.
