| Author | [Poll] Which weapon to enchant? |
|---|
Which weapon would you maximum enchant?
Sword of Might or Mithril Longsword?
Is 10 extra durability and 1% extra initiative worth +1 extra attack and 5% extra melee damage? |
As an enchanter, I have to say that I have enchanted a equal number or so of both, so it's really up to what the person normally uses.
Cost wise (due to the 10 extra dur), the SoM makes financial sense overall
but the Mith LS would be better at combat effectiveness.
I think it's a draw. |
i'm not even used this weapons!
but i think Sword Of Might is better(cheaper) |
| You can enchant both, doubling your elements |
Better = Cheaper #3? Err... not normally...
Anyhoo seems to depend on what you want. If you're going ranged then SOM offers an init advantage, so would be best choice. If you're a slugger then Mithril is your only choice really.
Mithril costs much more per battle and I think that's because it's generally more powerful, but:
1. It won't last.
2. Your shooters are disadvantaged if opponent has SOM... |
I just made some calculations:
At current market prices with 4x10 damage enchants
SoM cost 3800 gold per durability
MLS costs 4526 gold per durability
So again with more information, what would you choose?
Is 1 extra attack + 5% extra melee damage, 10 less durability and 1 % less initiative of Mithril long sword worth an extra 726 gold cost per battle when compared to SoM? |
To 5:
Nice input.
SoM for my skelets and litches or MLS for my vamps, ghosts, zomb, D envoy... decision decision decision... |
At current market prices with 4x10 damage enchants
SoM cost 3800 gold per durability
MLS costs 4526 gold per durability
That is not a valid calculation. No one is going to sell back the sword after it exhausts its durability, at least the first few times. The cost of enchantment needs to be amortized over many repairs. If you do that, you'll find that, percentage-wise, per-use cost of MLS is much higher than that of SoM. |
SoM has only 1 init more than mirthil
but mirthil cost much higher per battle |
for Atheros:
You obviously dont do you research well. Mithral has more attack and +5% melee damage.
Onto the question:
Mithral is better if you can afford it. For someone who cant afford alot of gold then SOM is better.
So for performance Mithral for cost SOM. |
| Two mods have already visited this thread, and yet neither has moved it to the correct forum. Surprising. |

i didn't say mirthil has same attack
only 1 attack exchange for -1 init compared with som
so u miss understand |
To 8:
You are absolutely right.
So lets say we repair both items at 90% for 110% repair costs for 10 times.
SOM costs about 500 gold per dura
MLS costs about 700 gold per dura |
Woups pressed post message
So it comes down to:
For 1 extra attack, 5% extra melee damage, 1% less inititive, you need to pay about 200 (40% more) extra gold per battle for MLS compared to SOM.
40% extra gold seems a lot but what do people think about extra 200 gold per battle instead?
That's 1h enroll for a newcomer or 20 min for a lvl6 labourer doing mining job
IMO MLS is the weapon of choice IF you enrol regularly (nothing new) but it gives some perspective of what will be required of me if I wanna get max enchanted MLS. |
