and since Blisterwood weapons are far superior there was never a need to make more than one.

Although I suppose that means the weapon is rather pointless. Which irked me the most about the Myreque questline. You spend all that time building up this weapon that can kill Vyres, and then Vanescula in Branches of Darkmeyer is just like: 'lololol here's some Blisterwood.'
That irked me too. Also the fact that blisterwood's power doesnt change much with all the vyre kills but the flail almost relies entirely on those kills for damage and accuracy.
I suppose it's due to the change in [person who makes the questline]. I do like ana though

Alright, we should draw a line where the weapons become legendary and whatnot.
If you can't make them yourself, or if there isn't more than one in quantity then it should be legendary.

For example Blisterwood weapons are mass produced in the finale Vampyre quest - not legendary.
Godsword is merely put together, you don't smith the parts yourself so it's kind of legendary.

Staff of Iban?

Zaros godsword came into the game because dumbass Zarosian fan boys and girls. They don't care about the lore. They follow Zaros blindly like a bunch of dumbass Democrats. They just ask,'Why isn't there a Zaros godsword?"...Yep, like all typical Democrats..when they want it..they want it fast. They don't care who they offended or step over or the results before or after or care about the facts. They just want it fast and now.

As for Jagex..they know it will be big money...cuz some players don't boss. They rather buy the weapon. You be surprise what type of players who spent REAL LIFE CASH buying bonds and reselling them back in GE for money AND use that money to buy the sword. The last time I did the math..it was a month ago..so it is outdated. The last time I did the math..it will cost $800 USD worth of Bonds to buy, resell in GE for ingame cash and use that cash to buy a Zaros godsword.

The rest of us who kinda of read and understand the lore of the godsword. We know that Zaros was long gone before the Godsword idea even came around.

Might as well add these listed Godswords too: Why? Don't ask.

Guthix
Seren
Tuska
Tumeken(Lcthllarin's father)
Eladinis(Lcthlarin's mother)
Lcthlarin
V
Marimba

Even though Sliske is not a god...we might a well put a Sliske Godsword too. Why? Do it for the fan boys and girls.


For you:



This is my outfit ingame right now.
That ZGS is glorious.
Zaros is awesome.

[quote id=341-342-417-65834393-22-339518526Staff of Iban?[/quote]that staff might be unique, but only in the sense that he made it himself... it's not legendary (think of it like korasi's sword... it has pretty good gameplay stats, but lorewise, I don't think it's any better than any other void knight sword)
I'm gussing a lot of magic users will make their own staves at some point, possibly like force users making their own lightsabres

if you could techically make them yourself, then I wouldn't call them 'weapons of legend'. You're not making a godsword or an elder artefact any time soon, but if you wanted you could totally duplicate zanik's crossbow

My thoughts are that a legendary weapon is something unique, known to be powerful and with a significant history attached to it. It's something with renown.

The Rod of Ivandis is a little odd, because we do make it, but there IS a singular Rod of Ivandis in game, something renowned in legends of the Priestly Warriors, that scholars tried and failed to recreate for centuries. We did not just create something similar out of powerful materials, but we tracked down the original, solved an ancient puzzle, and created an EXACT replica - the power and renown still lies with the original.

I found it. This was told to me by the Dev, which I typed up on to the official wiki (RIP) and I finally found my copy!(This was written for the 5th Age and the stat requirements maybe out of date)

History of Korasi's sword

The void knights have been involved in a grinding war with the Pest for about 23 years. With the lack of a large military budget, due to being exiled from Falador, magically reinforced mithril was typically the metal of choice. Not only was it much cheaper and much more readily available than Adamant or Runite, but also much less unwieldy so a lot less experience was needed when using it. To date even their robes have plate of mithril sewn into them. The robes are then magically reinforced which makes it nearly as defensive as adamant It also the reason it requires 42 defence instead of 30 like normal mithril armour.

Void knights also typically use a crystal with a Disrupt ability in weaponry, which you can see used by the Void Knight in Pest control in the form of the Void Knight mace. This is the standard issue weapon for Void Knights as that ability is required both on the theatre level against Pests and single targets. The main problem with the mace is it being unwieldy to use and prone to its crystal head shattering. This makes the weapon somewhat unreliable, but still needed in battle.
The purpose of adventure is to shine light into dark places,
Poke monsters with a sharp stick, Then steal anything that isn't nailed down!

The problem with the mace led to the development of Korasi's sword. While Runite would have been better it was out of reach of the military budget to acquire in bulk, even adamant was hard to come by if you were not an experienced and wealthy adventurer. Unlike most Void Knight equipment though, Korasi's sword has an adamant base as it was easier to enchant than mithril and was required for the sword to be effective.

The swords design is patterned on the scimitar with the idea of a sword with the slashing edge of the scimitar but the stabbing point of the long sword to pierce chitin. It was then inlayed with a crystal tip for the Disrupt ability of the mace but without the brittleness of its mace counterpart. This is why the sword has the odd curvature at its tip, which has a core of crystal.

While the sword is not a prototype it has also only just gone into production. It is also far more expensive and has a much longer production time than the mace, which is why so few Void Knights have them as of yet.




And there you have it. The History of Void Knights and their development of Korasi's sword!

that is really interesting :P
i kind of thought it'd just be a normal sword that they gave out as a reward, and because of the quest reqs it had to be high level

Yes, thank you so much Sola! I never heard any of this.

I always thought the design looked pretty impractical - it finally makes sense now! Well, not with the current model of the sword, but I can't blame them for changing it. The old sword had some pretty unfortunate resemblances.
