is it possible to mod a sword to victo's blade specs? i mean what sword has a dmg+15% while health is above 50, i know i would need a perfect vampiric hilt and a perfect pommel of fortitude but am unsure about if there are swords wit the dmg+15% while health is above 50 thing. also can someone let me know how much it would cost? ie.hilt,pommel, sword if possible. thank you

making an Exact copy will be hard to impossible.

Not because of its stats (15 over 50% health is a mod you can get - its the msot popular actually - and the upgrades you can add) but its because of the skin.

GoodLuck getting a max damage sickle skin drop (we aren't even sure these exist and if they did come out they'd be MUCH MUCH more expensive than Victo's Axe - so you are better off with Victo).

Former, I think you misunderstood. He wants to turn a sword int the stats of Vic's Blade. Don't know where you got the Axe skin going.

If you want an exact copy you will have to find a Max 15^50 Shadow Blade. If you don't care about the skin, you already have the information in your post. Just find any sword with the 15^50 and add the two mods you talked about. For pricing on the mods, check the price check forum for the weapon mods baseline pricing guide.

You can buy a 15^50 sword in Droknars for about 5 plat and some resources and then add the mods. Will have same effect as Victo's Blade, just won't LOOK as KEWL.

To OP, its is possible but maybe not cost effective. The cheapest way to make one is to Buy the Long Sword from the weaponsmith in Droknars Forge for 5k plus materials (approx 40 iron and 5 steel or around that) and buy the mods seperatly. For a 3:1 Vampric mod you are looking at around 5-6k and for +30hp can be bought at around 50-70k.

so all in all 60-85k to make an equivelent quikly from scratch.

Considering you can buy a Victos Blade for as low as 45k at the mo it is better to just buy one if you dont have any of the mods already.
Alternatively you could opt for a 28-29hp mod which could be purchased for 5-15k if those 1 or 2 hit points dont bother you.

Deathqueen · Feb 01, 2006, 02:17 PM // 14:17

Yeah 1 or 2 hp's doesn't matter much in this game seeing as how you can be degening at 7+ and taking 100+ damage at times. Vanity is expensive, pratical isn't.

Situations that you survive, and are left with less than 10HP make you think differently.

There aren't many situations like that, but still.

Deathqueen · Feb 01, 2006, 02:26 PM // 14:26

Yeah more like a million to one shots. Still not worth the vanity cost.

Also let's take this scenario: People will pay out the oodles for 1 or 2 more hp's then turn around and put in a superior rune of their weapon and give up SEVENTY FIVE hit points just for a few more chances of criticals and damage output. Now, how many times have you watched yourself and/or others just SWING AT AIR while they get degenned to death or lightning orbed to death when that extra SEVENTY FIVE hit points might have saved them and the team? eh? (smile)

^^ yeah tell me about those. Good for getting the adrenalin pumping.

Former Ruling · Feb 01, 2006, 02:34 PM // 14:34

I didn't fully read his post and thought he was refering to the Axe, not sword (Just saw Victo's and assumed, since everyone is freaking over the axe and the sword is dropping in price)

As for the sword it is impossible to get an exact copy everything wise. That skin is now exclusive to that sword. Stats can be duped on another skin though.

[DE] · Feb 01, 2006, 02:39 PM // 14:39

if you dont scare about the skin than its possible you could get it. unfortunatly for you itd be much cheaper just to buy victos blade. its going for 50-60k right now while if you want to customize a sword like that itll run u about 90k.

Yichi · Feb 01, 2006, 02:41 PM // 14:41

For the price of the +30 health pommel for the sword, you could just buy victos blade. then it saves u the trouble of havign to deal with the trade spammers in town more than once.
