Maelstrom for Sunblade

[Jonathan_Lonehawk]

Looking to trade the ML 2 Maelstrom for a Sunblade. PM me if interested.

Traded, thanks for looking.

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

I am trying to get a Sunblade.

[Aedyn]

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

[Uamhas]

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.

[Uamhas]

Well I guess I better hold onto mine!

For the love of GOD! Can someone translate this into english?

[Ringos]

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

[Higgy]

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...

You could ask a neighbor second grader probably. I would simply remove an "er" or "amel" every now and then....I'd do it for you even, but then how would you ever learn to adapt?

Kargon is great, not much else to say.

Elves long/rapier, drow short/rapier. (racial enhancements)

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.

[Byzantian]

3 sunblades, going to bind 1 to avoid damage so 2 left for trade. Interests only

[Uamhas]

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.

Ahhh, that explains it. I have only rolled a couple of Drows and haven't had on in ages. Figured they were the same. TY!

[Jonathan_Lonehawk]

Traded -- thanks for looking.

Same thing goes on with my 'old version' of Gerard Dryden's Mace. +1 Heavy Mace of Undead Bane, ML2.
Oh, and my precious +1 Superior Potency III Light Mace, ML0,
and +1 Superior Devotion 5 Heavy Mace, ML0.

Since I reroll A LOT, I love them.
