Feel like this craft is a bit underwhelming, even if its just something that stores Aetherium Paragon, which the Aetherium Talisman does aswell. Not asking for it to be god tier, but atleast having uses. Also being able to remove Aetherium Paragon from this and Talisman does make it unique and flexible which is cool, but currently there is 0 reason to even store Aetherium Paragon in the Rapier when you can slap it in a 3 stat Amulet. any chance some mods could be added? I was thinking of it doing more damage to otherworldly monsters, Wraith/Spirits/Spectre/ Shadow/Elementals/ Demons/Sprites/Ghost/ Soul/Evil/Banshee/ Aet-Thol, and possibly give it some negatives towards humanoids/plants/beasts/dragon.

Im grateful for training weapons as they are much needed for 1a with such a low player base, but they've outclassed all rare boss drop weapons making them obsolete, this is even before the hidden tags added to monsters, making weapons cover even wider range of enemies. Just would like to see some uses for things like Sword of Existence and Sovereign Sword. Sovvy imo should be an alternative to Royal Sword.
Ilythiiri Keeshe recieved a much needed update to its mod and is now very much useful even being limited to just Drows.

Just some thoughts.

I added a trio of modifiers (some of the other rapiers also have three modifiers).

I agree with this and training weapons have made it hard to even come up with ideas for new weapons without making them too overpowered. Plenty of the end game boss drop weapons are just underwhelming just better off using the training weapons over +1 str (or other stat) or more base damage is outclassed by a 2x modifier from a "Training weapon" that has 20-25 base damage.

 

side note - which other rapiers got a trio of modifiers for monster tables? i'm not seeing it.

There are some possibly undiscovered rapiers.  Elbon the Adorner received some extra transmutations when Elmshire was released.

Alright, after playing around with Celestial Rapier, i think the mods work well on it and I like the otherworldly theme but any chance we can get it to 2 mod? Figure Aetherium Paragon deserves a little more than the other Rapiers considering it's a boss drop and imo, shouldn't be considered a Paragon holder lol. I'd suggest making it permanent and making it x2 mod table while adding Spirit, anybody currently with Celestial Rapier could ask you to trade Rapier for Paragon if they didn't want it permanently.
