Why does my everbright greatclub keep getting broken by oozes?

[Mad_Bombardier]

A greatclub gives you +10 from power attack and 1.5x strength so I would think for two handed builds muckbane would not be better? You can find something like a +2 shock greatclub of everbright.

Lightning/Shock splits Black Puddings, Grey oozes are immune to cold, one of them is immune to fire (or is that just the Avatar?). I think True Law/Chaos (or Thundering) may be the best all around.

Lightning/Shock splits Black Puddings, Grey oozes are immune to cold, one of them is immune to fire (or is that just the Avatar?), and they're all immune to Acid. I think True Law/Chaos (or Thundering) may be the best all around.

Good to know about the black puddings I will have to make sure not to use my shock club on those

There is an issue with Everbright and weapons made from special materials. Until Mod5 comes out they may or may not be immune to rust/acid depending on how the server feels that day. The fix in Mod5 will correct this problem for all Everbright weapons so hold on to the ones you have.

Boo yah, I found a bug. It is a densewood greatclub, so that explains it. Luckily I didn't ditch my Muckbane so I'll use that in the meantime.

Oh, trivia: Arcane Oozes are Lawful. Confirmed in both VoN2 and VoN4 when I smacked 'em with the True Law greatclub and got "Immune"

So a True Chaos Greatclub of Everbright might be slightly better than a True Law.

Oh, does that mean my + something whatchamacallit greatsword or everbright will be taking ooze damage? i was looking forward to using it soon, too

Nah just ones with a 2nd material type.

If it says "material: blueshine" your in good shape. If its also adamantine, you might not want to use it yet.

I think flaming greatclub/maul of everbright might be best. I think the only ooze type imune to fire is the grey ooze, which are only found in low level quests and not much threat like stronger black pudding or arcane ooze. Anarchic could be good for arcane ooze if there indeed lawful.

Another issue I have is my Trasmuting darkwood greatclub of everbright both quickly breaks, and also splilts slimes as it deals slashing damage..

Good to hear mod 5 will fix that, I have two everbright weapons, and they both take massive damage from oozes and rust. :/

[cdbd3rd]

looks like Muckbane still rules! By the way, can anyone confirm that there is actually a "Guckbane"? or not?

I've lost count of how many times I've made that run... No joy yet.
I have actually found that there are other monsters in the Heights besides that goober-blob.

Please remove all emotion chips from the servers - starting with khyber, he's especially moody.

How do you know Khyber is a he?

Just a quick followup and correction. Grey Oozes, Black Puddings, Ochre Jellies, and Violet Slimes are all NOT immune to Acid. Acid-based creatures damaged by acid; imagine my surprise!!! Now, I only need to test Arcane oozes.

Good to know about the black puddings I will have to make sure not to use my shock club on those

P.S. Don't forget your Lightning Guard armor/robes. That little blast can split black puddings too.

They can't. The chip was made by Dr. Noonian Soong.

IMO this needs to be posted on the login alert screen, so all players will see it regardless of whether they read the forums.

This is important.
