So, I started jousting and heard that skill with Halberd is important. I've just started training it and use an ox spear from Haven. But I want something unique and unique, so where can I find one? Circle 45 ranger, 29 strength, 27 agility, got 20 ranks in Halberd...

I bought a wicked halberd from Boar Clan. My appraisal is not too good on Halberds...

This is its look: The blade on this thing is nothing to be trifled with. It looks like it has a different way to mangle a foe from every angle.

A wicked halberd is a halberd pole-ranged weapon.

You believe that it could do:
moderate puncture damage
heavy slice damage
low impact damage

You are confident that the halberd is fairly balanced and is fairly suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.

You are certain that the wicked halberd is of average strength, and is in pristine condition.

The wicked halberd is made with metal.
The wicked halberd has a bit of weight to it.
You are certain that the wicked halberd is worth exactly 2029 dokoras.

To me there are 4 ultimate halberds, the lochaber axe/khuj and the tzece/wicked halberd. Which one you like best depends on your play style. Do you want extra umph, then use the lochaber axe/khuj. Which one of these you like better depends on if you want puncture damage with max slice or better overall stats with decent slice and max impact. Or, if you want something with a little bit of balance you will want to go for the tzece/wicked halberd. Though the wicked halbred is new, it clear outmatches the tzece in more impact and a slightly less weight. Plus I know it is significantly cheaper.

Until you feel like you can swing these massive weapons around with reasonable roundtime and fatigue, then I totally recommend a forged halberd, the sturdy short-hafted halberd, or one of the Rossman's halberds. If you need min roundtime then that's some significant strength and agility until you can move on up, but personally I am ok with medium RTs.

I'm pretty sure the weight on the wicked halberd is wrong. I think it was 72 or 74 stones.

>I keep getting V2.0 Sept 2007 with the Combat Equipment Compendium link in your name. It doesn't have the wicked halberd or other new weapons. Any newer links?

I don't host it, though I guess I could. I sent a new version to Kyn and Jauson, but they have yet to update their sites. Yell at them for me :)

Anyone else that want to host it, let me know I'll send you v. 2.5 via email.

>>Partisan is making me drool...

Two types. Plain Pertisan that was just a Halberd. Same stats. Also a SWAPABLE Partisan that is a halberd and Spear? Or was it a QS. Also same stats. Both sold at same merchant at Shard fest few years back and than two years ltr at at christmas when same merchant visited Sea Caves.

Swapable one runs for around 100p if you can find one for sale. The non swapable one harder to find but much cheeper around 20 plat.

>Have you tried sending it to someone at Elanthipedia?

Creating tables on a Wiki absolutely sucks out of control. While it would be a great place for the compendium, the amount of conversion work would make Lanival cry acid tears and quit the game, letting Tiero win the Resistance war and Elf everything up, turning Dragonrealms into a text-based Elfwood -- and then the game becomes 44% Elf (Fairie Elf, not any other clan), 30% Prydaen, 15% Rakash, and 10% hugssnugglysmooches. And no one wants to live in that continuity.

Host it? Sure. Post it? Not on your life, unless you plan on doing a 40-hour week's worth of work.

Also, I can shoot bees.

The partisans look great, and comp just slightly better than those 37-stone weapons Ciressa was forging/selling (partisan of h/h/f f/f versus forged h/h/p f/f), a trade-off of impact for being a dozen stones lighter...just to help support a local, organic, free-trade, eco-friendly business. :) I use a Rayje-forged blade with the same qualities and love it - though had I the strength I may prefer the partisan or lochaber axe or something.

Ciressa doesn't forge, those are Rayje forged halberds.

Nah it's okay, just wanted to clear it up.

Aver has to bring an armor order up to Crossing today, tell me which character you play and she'll stop and grab one of those scythes for you first

>izude, my AIM is montell19. Only 13 ranks of halberd =/

Unles you happen to be a big chap/gal and have plenty of STR/AGI to wield one of those Plague Wraith monstrosities I'd suggest the Theren store bought halberd the 40 stone one for training. Or can find a forged one around 34 stones. Real good for training purposes.

Rayje does. They're sold in Haven by Ciressa for 16 plat lirum. 37 stones with heavy puncture and heavy slice. She's open on Tues, Thurs and one weekend day every week.
