View Full Version : Lightsabers for the Dwarf?

I've been thnking lately at how well the lightsaber concept might mesh with the dwarf. True, he doesn't have sword lore or the like, but it would be nice to see the short guy swing one of these babies around.

If I recall correctly, "Sabers of Light" in Sacred Plus were allowable to everyone. It was just that the Seraphim was the only one to activate the quest. Am I wrong on this? Can lightsabers be wielded by everyone in UW or not?

If so, I might have to build a saber run sera to collect one for the Doc. :D

If I remember correctly, not all that long ago one of members had a DE running around with light sabers and Elf whips, which were collected without a sera activating the quest.

Wow. So maybe I don't need an express purpose Sera for this? Once Doc's high enough level, I'll have to check this out.

My first Sera in SP managed to make multiple runs and had paired sabers by level 16. It's highly doubtful, though, that Doc would be so lucky. He'll have to be quite a bit higher in levels.

There is some pics in the home forum of the De running around with light sabers and whips, we weren't that higher lvl when we went and got them.:p

Dwarves don't have disarm skill, though as far as I recall. Hmmm. I don't think disarm mods work without a skill present. Am I wrong on this?

I've just done some research on this. I treid doing the quests with a woodelf, a daemon and a dwarf, and all 3 of them could NOT get the lightsabre from the quest. Then as i did it with my seraphim, she did got the lightsabre. The lightsabre is indeed wearable by any char class.

Disarming them from ice elfs is possible too, but its also possible to get a lightsabre/whips or something like it in a drop. i had one dropped tho i can't remember if it even was in the ice elf region. This whip i found was Seraphim only tho:(

Just out of curiosity here...

Why do we want the dwarf to have a lightsaber?

I see no big benefit for the dwarf to use it so why?

and on a side note does disarming work now?

Thanks,

Disarming does work - I've seen some of the stuff Jimmy J has taken off monsters with his vamp, although he has put a lot of points into it.

Does it only work with melee characters though? I tried it on a disc daemon with 53 pts put in it but didn't see any result.

The whips can be dissarmed seen them before i had a problem with my Daemon she would disarm weapons that were special yellow items but when i left game and rejoined they appeared normal and if i dropped them an tried to pick them up they would disappear altogether. That char died and havent tried since but deffo a bug sumwhere :s

Whirlwind on a mage disarms, chances are better the higher the skill and the ww is though. In plus disarmed was glitched in that you could loose your stuff too. I got disarmed of a really nice saddle, boo hoo. Then a unique staff. Don't know if this is fixed.

Another way to get sabers/whips from the ice elves, especially if your toon doesn't have disarm, is to equip an npc (unknown warrior is a good choice) with a weapon with a disarm mod on it.

I've tried disarm in UW, but it's bugged imo. Had a couple rare swords drop. When I went to show another party member by dropping them next to him, he couldn't see them on ground. When I picked them up, they disappeared from inventory. The only safe way for someone else to view or swap item is to use the trade window.

That was me, Dags

I got the whips and lightsabers on my DE before underworld came out. Think he was around level 40 or so. It wasn't the disarm skill i was using to get them but the kill on sight mods I was wearing and the items just dropped.

But regardless, yes I did have dualwielded lightsabers and whips. They were horrible weapons but the look was cool


BTW, i'm back
