Title: Great Axe
Post by InsaneNinjaPhreak on 05/10/03 at 17:57:15
Description: Forged from the finest ore by the finest dwarven weapon smith, the Axe is perfectly balanced and weighted to deliver damaging blows.  A powerful elven Archmage enchanted this artful weapon to enhance its combat abilities even further. Ariat, with this mighty weapon, and Baltor ventured into the Ercule Swamp and never returned - though the Hydra has never emerged either.  The venture was deemed a success, with a hefty price..

I'd just like to know, why doesn't this weapon and the hydra thorn not show you, there base damage or any other of the info that most other weapons do? and could someone please tell me what the base damage for the great axe is?

Some of the boss items don't. I believe they're supposed to remain 'mysterious'. From what I heard the Great axe is better then a pike in some areas but suckier then a hally in others. I believe after 24 hours of wielding it adds one strength to ur crit and removes one dex as well. Don't quote me on that one though cause i'm not sure.

If my memory is correct, the DH database said that the Great Axe has a base damage of 15.

okay, it gives you +1 str -1 dex -10 armor, but in swamps, wielding it on the vines, turtles, and hydra's...deals an amzing 120+ damage, so in the area, its well worth bringing. i personally have done 200 with spells with my lvl 25 fighter and a great axe in the area

All of the swamp weapons (GA, HT, torch) have had their descriptions deleted, must have been something to do with whoever designed that area not wanting people to know how good/bad the weapons are
AFAICR the great axe is +1 damage over the pike, +1str -1dex +10 armour, *1.5 vs hydras, the HT is 1 damage, 20% chance of 30 poison per turn, the torch is *4 damage vs hydras *3 vs 'quitos, *2 vs vines.
The crowbar and spade are the only other weapons i can think of with deleted descriptions (both have huge modifiers vs the demonic general's cabinet)


Oh... 1004 in one hit is my best
