The whips should be GEF to be useful.

I only recalled from the previous incarnation that valpurium was the most damaging for whips, it wasn't not until I tested ASTR requirements this time 'round that I realised how useful it was. GEF whips added, and, since the ridiculous valpurium whips are up there, I've put the adamantine staves in too

My favourite weapons combo is Justifier + GEF whip of theivery Although i usually don't get it past +10 or +11 because the mirror cloning charges are better used on boots of agility if you play natural limbs.

Past 10 the fail rate skyrockets. I used about 100 scrolls just enchanting each weapon to 16.

the weight/str seems really uneven by weapon type. I wonder if this is intentional.

Valpurium weapons up!

Anybody know exactly how much more damage whips do when wet? they are usually soaked in various kinds of blood so they should be wet most of the time. a 10% bonus would be significant but I have no idea what it actually is.

Only way to find out would be to use a stethoscope, I suppose. I'll see if I can do some tests for ya. Not this week though, I'm busy this week.

I was hoping someone would be able to get the answer by code-diving. However, if you want to derive the equation empirically that would be great too.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that to-hit and strength really only scale up to 20, so a +16 dagger wouldn't be any more accurate than a +16 battle axe, unless the axe had a base hit rating of <4.

Where did you GET 100 scrolls?

Wand of cloning with three charges, seven scrolls of charging and five scrolls of enchant weapon. Or alternatively wizard mode.

Yeah, this was all done in WM. I don't think you'd get all that in even a dozen games >_>

Oh, it's entirely possible to find those in a single game. It's not necessary to have seven charging scrolls, any combination of wands and the scrolls will do. There's plenty of time to find them up to GC13.

The items, perhaps, but not the AStr requirements, most of which are below what you start with

It's official. Scientifically proven.

For shits 'n' giggles 'cus Batman? liked the adamantine quarterstaff entry.

That's AWESOME! !!!!!

I can't remember the last time I saw a strong box in a Game. it's been a long time.

Is it possible to get the 28.8m astr necessary to one hand an adamatine chest?

If I recall correctly, you can only go to 1000 (displays as 100) in Wizmode before pressing 1 stops working. I'm not sure if you can go higher through natural training at that point.

... Natural training, at 1000. Riiight.

Pretty sure at that point you look like your average Resident Evil Tyrant.

Actually I'm pretty sure you'd look more like Broly or Toguro.
