So I am one of those volning, polearm loving empaths. I have a lovely lance (krol-skulled vultite pike), that I greatly adore. However, I am looking into mstriking, and just having a secondary blessed weapon around.

I currently have a: glaes-flecked black haon lance, which I think is x3 and fire flaring? But I am not sure.
And a enruned silvery steel jeddart-axe (x2.5?) that I am pretty sure is blessable.

What I really want to play with, I think, is a vultite naginata. But how much are those? What would people recomend as a ligher polearm? I swing a lance in 5, and mstrike in 10.

I thought they were store-bought!

>>More likely that the naginata you tried it on hadn't been converted to a new style naginata.<<

We just bought it fresh from the weapon ship backroom this evening. Neither bardsong nor detect magic showed anything. Now, we did consider that there might be some odd residual from the old style. We tried a Dirt'okh (spelling?) potion, and that did take. We haven't tried e-blading one yet, since we poured the potion on it.

It wouldn't take a Ronrhu (or whatever the spelling is) potion, but did take a dirt'okh (spelling?), which is what is needed for taking items of 4x to 5x. BUT, casting detect at it after pouring that potion only revealed a weak level of enchantment. No ida what that's all about, will ask in the wizard folder.

sort of discussing this in the enchantment folder also; answer not quite clear yet ...

Interesting... reading the enchanting folder where Throgg also asked about this, Im goign to lean towards youhaving it enchanted pre-material changes for enchanting. Since it appears it's treating the nag as a wood base item, thus only going to able to enchant it to 3x or 4x.

But, it still makes sense if you ask me... with the AvD being adjusted it still would simulate an 8x weapon with 4 enchants.

5. In the past the enchant system did not always correctly identify the degree of difficulty inherent in enchanting specific metals or woods. Item Materials have been adjusted to accurately reflect their enchantability when Enchant Item (925) is cast upon them.

That boxed area there is one of the major changes to enchant that was released in July, that was taken from an official announcement here on the boards by Croe, dated July 14 of this year.

So, definately would say prior if you had it back in the spring.

Actually Icewhite it seems it's a bug with polearms being bought.. they are coming out as wood when they are supposed to be inspected as steel.

Currently Naos has asked we submit an assist to have them changed to the proper material - hopefully an universal fix will be forthcoming.

We got 2 naginatas fixed tonight; GM Tolli answered our assist, now they inspect as being steel. Unfortunately, you have to do this right now for each one individually, because they still inspect as wood when bought new. Hopefully, universal fix is coming soon, for all you pole arm people.

Believe it is most poles, store bought.. no idea on event pruchases. Just inspect your items and see what they are.
