Nice

I assume it was the same price as an SoM? or an SoM + SA?
no i trade it for a other great weapon
It's interesting how diverse people's tastes are.

I think the SOM is the best looking weapon in the game. :p
Me too
Same here, and just to think people actually trade a SOM for that ugly S grade broom.. I'm keeping mine, don't care about the matk difference..
i think drac bow is the most bad *** looking weapon, and the Sgrade fists are the most stacy looking ones, as for staff, i'd say it the crystal staff...don't know why.
the flaming dragon skull looks cool just dont fit on a Elf realy more a orc thing lol
Drac bow is best looking weapon followed closely by SOM
actually i prefer the look of the Dark Legion sword, hehe
i personaly never found anyone did not like the DLE just still cant figure why then never made duels DLE
I prefer an Infernal Master. It's clean, simple and reminds me of Excalibur for some reason...

Although a +16 Saber would be HAWT!!

lol! That is exactly the way I feel. I am not going to get the mage S grade weapon and instead wait to see what they add in the next update.

(it really does look like a broom, doesn't it!)
My favorite is a SoM+7. I have enviously observed others with that weapon and I WILL HAVE ONE SOMEDAY!
I had a +5.

And now I don't :confused:

Thats because the current s-grade weapon are low-s. When they get more s weapon we will get Tallum*Tallum and DLE*DLE
*is waiting for dual DLE's.....now wont that be some hawt [censored]*
Ouch. Mine is only +3 but I have the SA on it so I'm not gonna try to OE on this one.

If I sell all my alt gear, sub gear, and go back to using Avadon armor I could buy a +7 ... But instead I am planning on waiting until EWA drop back down in price after another pumpkin/squash type event then I will craft / buy a bunch of SoM and try to make one.

Since I'm bored I ran a Monte Carlo sim to figure out how many SoM I should pool up to have a good shot at getting at least one to +7. Here are the results (wish boards supported tables of data...):

# = number of starting weapons
% = probability to get one or more at +7

1 -> 19%
2 -> 35%
3 -> 48%
4 -> 59%
5 -> 67%
6 -> 73%
7 -> 78%
8 -> 82%
9 -> 86%
10 -> 89%

So I'll try to pool up enough mats and adena for at least 5 SoM and give it a shot. Worst case I'll have plenty of crystals for crafting more SoM later. ;)

Just for kicks if I do start with 5 SoM I'll get from 0 to 5 weapons to +7. Here are the approximate probabilities:

0 @ +7: 33%
1 @ +7: 40%
2 @ +7: 20%
3 @ +7: 5%
4 @ +7: <1%
5 @ +7: <0.1%

Then for those dying to know... On Kain SoM runs about 60-70m right now and EWA run >15m. So the "cost" to make a +7 SoM is around 570m. If EWA drops back to about 7m (which they were at the squash event) then the "cost" drops to about 380m. Go Go NCSoft. More pumpkin events please!
woot tsu*sls +11 for a nuker? :)

I like the low Agrade (one handed acumen) cant remmeber what the name is of the staff
Well, let's just say I learned a very expensive lesson. My current SOM is +3. I believe it will stay that way. :o
i never ever OE. bad experiance :(
I did the same thing a long while back. I had two Homunkulus that I got to +6 (the first two OE I tried). At the time I thought chance was 80%. So I clicked for a +7 and got crystals. Then I distinctly remember thinking 'what the hell, I'll get a +7 on the next one' (alcohol may have played a role in this poor judgement). I clicked again and got another pile of crystals. I promptly ran over to the lux shop, turned in my shiny new crystals for a new DS and exchanged for Homunkulus, plussed it up to +3 and put the SA on it. I had that weapon all the way to level 70 blowing up at least 4 more trying to get back to +6.
I just hate OE.
then there are the lucky ones, that enchant a Bgrade +3->12 without any problems. well, im glad someone does.
I got my D grade duals to +8 in 1 go (my first weapon OE) and then it took me 8 dark screamers to get a +7 8/
have you people never seen a proof of revenge?
aka: the pony stick. ugly thing
I dunno the Drac bow looks cool, but seriously hottest? I dunno!

Coolest Weapons imo in order:

Dragon Slayer
Dark Legion Edge
Sword of Miracles
Draconic Bow
Elven Long Sword
Raid Sword

There are a few others...but these I always liked...
I like dragon slayer as far as looks go...
I nearly subbed a Destroyer just so Id have an excuse to use one :p

I use to hate the look of SoMs.. but for some reason, Ive come to like them.
cause you don't evade crap in the first place.
SoM and SoV looks like toothpicks..

but they dosent look so bad... falming dragon skull is ugly tho
Spiritual Eye (new low a grade onehand blund ).It has the looks
The SoM as a concept looks good, but it winds up looking like crap in game (IMHO).

The reverse of the elf shorts.

ETA: As far as A Grade acumen weapons go - Spiritual Eye for humans/elves, FDS for orcs or Dark Elves IMHO.

have you people never seen a proof of revenge?



i have one. i killed them ghosts in EG for a long time before i realized you can buy them in giran. it looks cool in a D grade sort of way :)

I think the SOM is the best looking weapon in the game. :p



As far as mage weapons go, it's the best looking.

But do you know what sucks about the SOM? The way it only glows on the main blade when it's overenchanted. Since it is technically a weapon with a front and aft blade, I had hoped that both blades would glow when overenchanted. Oh well, there go my Darth Maul dreams out the window.

The SLS is still my all time favorite weapon. It is so detailed and elegant that it makes all of the other B, A, and S grade swords look like cartoon cut-outs.

Spiritual Eye (new low a grade onehand blund ).It has the looks



It only looks good from the sides. When you see someone holding it straight on, it looks like mismatched LEGO pieces. And it's also another weapon that doesn't look so hot at +8, flames or not. Like you're carrying around a big blue matchstick.

That said, if the darn thing had cooperated and enchanted successfully to +10, I would have fallen in love with it. :(
