Are you hoping to get a Maelstrom... or a sunblade?

I see maelstroms on the AH all the time....they are pricy, but there. I dont think I've seen a sunblade in a year. I could have just missed it, but I watch the AH almost more than I play lol

I'm not bashing, or trashing, but it's extremely unlikely that a person would trade a sunblade for a maelstrom. Here's why:
-Maelstrom drops out of the fire/ice chest in Tempest Spine.
*Sunblade is a totally random drop from level appropriate chests. I've seen it drop in Von3, Redwillow, Necropolis tombs/crypts, and Stormcleave, but never in the same place twice.
-Maelstrom is a more specialized weapon, used mostly by 2-handed spec melee types (greataxe) and it's anarchic, so anyone lawful would take a negative level penalty to use.
*Sunblade is a bastard sword that is enchanted so it can be wielded like a shortsword, useable by almost any melee class and some that are not (a drow sorc could wield it without penalty to-hit due to race granted proficiency).
-Maelstrom is a ml 2, +1 Frost, Anarchic Greataxe (1d12+1, slash, chaotic, magic- crit 20/x3)
*Sunblade is a ml 6, +2 flametouched iron short sword with bastard sword damage (1d10+2 slash, Good, Magic- crit 19-20/x2) With an extra +2 to hit vs. Evil creatures and an extra 1d10+4 damage against the undead.
I could see trading, say, a dwarven thrower for a sunblade, but the Maelstrom, while a nice lowbie weapon, may not see anyone willing.
Good luck.

Isn't the Maelstrom that drops now a ML8 item. Same thing with the Star of Irian, they changed minimum level a long time ago. I am not sure if the Maelstrom is a 2 or 8 now, I haven't run TS in a very long time. And to be honest I myself would much rather have the maelstrom over the Sunblade.

Kargon disagree. the key are 'ML 2' in the descriptimion. these not drop any more all maelstrom are min levamel 8 now, levamel 2 versimion literamally will nevermer drop again, can only be fewermer and fewermer of them as time go on. Old ml 2 versimion are the best weapamon to get through levamels 2 through 5 or 6, even if intend on building a high AC shield wearer since low levamel mobs not hit very hard at all and are bettermer off killing them fastermer. 3d6 are a LOT of damanage at such a low levamel, especiamally to kobolds . are great weapamon for peopamul who reroll a lot.

Can Elves use short swords? i think it's just long swords and Rapiers. I could be wrong, I don't play many!

Kargon makes perfect sense. Just imagine chewing a mouthful of Tasty Ham and read it again...
Oh, and if anyone wants a Maelstrom for a Sunblade - let me know as well!!!
Heck, if someone wants a Maelstrom for a Dwarven Thrower, let me know...

I got a PM from someone who was going to meet me in game for the trade but didn't show up... Hope you didn't scare him off. First of all, it's a ML 2 Maelstrom (And it dropped for me over the weekend!) so they are STILL dropping, but maybe they are extremely rare. No one was more shocked than I was. My guildies all said OMG and *** and such. The only reason I'm trading it is I want a Sunblade for a character I remade from PnP who has 2 of them (I need 2 and have yet to see one on the AH on Thelanis).
Anyway. I also have Mucksdoom that I'm willing to trade for a Sunblade as well, if anyone thinks that's a fair one. (It's also a very rare drop).
Thanks for looking.
3 sunblades, going to bind 1 to avoid damage so 2 left for trade. Interests only
Gosh, I hope I didn't scare someone off your trade, either! I don't recall saying it would be an unfair swap, rather I said that I didn't think it likely you would find someone willing to make said trade. I put reasons why I thought so for the benefit of the O.P., including stats taken directly from a sunblade I own and a maelstrom I own. I did NOT tell people not to make the deal. Next time I see you put up a trade I think should have a second thought put into it, well, I'll think twice! Have a nice day.
