+5 IcyBurst Greatsword. (MPG)

[nouse]

+5 Metaline PG greatsword with added Icy Burst.
Taking offers.

[Theodores]

Not the right place i know, but the mobs you will be beating on with this sword have a ice resistance greater than the damage you will deal, dont expect more than for a plain met of pg greatsword....

Why thank you for the info. Although unnecessary, because in-fact I am well aware of this, hopefully you have educated many others with your reply..

It just raises the question, why would you waste an icyburst kit on it?

[begbie]

not worth much...

I offer 2 gp

Because I wanted too?

[IronClan]

I roll my eyes whenever I see statements like that. Probably the same people who say that frost or icy are a waste on greater undead banes... Or the people who say it's a waste on blunt everbright ooze beaters

A +5 MPG is a "jack of all trades" weapon IMO... It's not just a Demon/devil beater. There are mobs that take cold damage that have some form of metal DR or good DR, even some that take purple damage from cold, and still others that take reduced cold damage but added damage is added damage, it's always good. Its a utility weapon, why wouldn't you make it even more useful?

Because an icy burst kit is a hardship to buy for someone who can afford a +5 Metalline of PG? Yeah, not so much.

Just don't put it on your favorite skely beater.
(owner of at least 6 or 7 frosted/iced +4 to +5 MPG, and one Holy Greater Undead Bane + Frost warhammer that I put away on the odd occasion I see a frostmarrow or blackbone skell)

Well what i have most seen in these occasion is that the icy burst putted one the met of pg weapon will fool the newb who is looking for a weapon. Not trying to say thats the case here but i said that statement to prevent it from happening.

off the top of my head, the only things that require Metal+ PG are Marilith (cold resist 30 on norm), Horned Devil (cold resist 30 on norm) and Pit Fiend (cold resist 30 on norm). People want that icy burst on Holy burst of pure good :P

[Varr]

First.......I add Icey burst to all my slashing random mpg's because the Icey weapon looks better than any other effect (other than old school evil weapons.)

Second, since no one on Thelanis seems to have any interest....Varr on Thelanis offers one large stone for it.....a lowball offer in my opinion you will be forced to take....since this weapon sucks and all.

Pm me if I win. You won't catch me in game.

On the other hand a fire reaver takes double cold damage and has cold iron DR, when my Pali's running around outside in hound, on his umpteenth Leviks run, I'm happy I bothered putting icy burst on his +5 MPG DA, I'm pretty sure some boss Fire Elementals have metal DR but not like I've cataloged all of them or anything, Storm reaver gets hit by cold and needs Mithral DR... Not that I use a MPG on him, I have a Metalline Greater Giant Bane with Frost. Pretty useful if you're running at level. But not everyone has one of those. I also recall multiple instances of hitting red named Fire Eles and getting yellow base numbers with purple from cold. I've seen enough instances where I got orange, yellow or purple numbers against mobs that either needed my MPG, or where mixed in among those mobs, that I've never regretted icy bursting them. I admit to not running around and writing down every example... there have been enough that I don't have a problem saying that putting cold on a MPG is a good idea. Or at the very least is not some terrible mistake... If buying a kit is a hardship; sure don't need to put it on there... If you've got a veteran level of money and nifty random weapon collection why the heck not.

Flame reavers are only thing that i can verify. Fire ele's (all) have untyped DR, so metalline/good not going to be the hot ticket there, but if you dont have a greater ele bane weap and this is all you got to swing, IB away

I dig the holy animation more than icy personally, the current winner for me though is true law. Kinda looks classy

maybe that was part of his intent? not just to let you know but others as well?

Ah....I'll concede true law ah the best.....love short swords with that appearance. Second with no close third for me is Icey though.

sigh~ all these posts and yet the high bidder is 2 gp.

/stands up, raises hand, and yells "2 pp!"

Looked like it was a large stone to me. Take it and run.

Add Mind Flayers, orange damage from cold, yellow base damage without Bysh-whatever or metalline.

My bid is a large stone. I logged on Thelanis jsut to poke into this offer a bit more. Which is still on the table. there are 4 large stones on the AH for 420K plat buy out. They are worth 200-250 K plat on my valuation........not srue if this is recently typical or jsut a one shot over price.

The 7 or so +5 met of pure goods ranged from 100kish to 500Kish. There were almost none that were as good as a greatsword verson. And the Icey burst kicker is worth at least 50k to me for look alone.

So...............I like this deal enough to log into a server I dont currently play on and will arrange to trade a miscalanous Large Stone (my value at 225k plat or so) for a version of the best random drop beater with a pretty additive (+5 met of pure good with Icey) to simply bank. I'd value a great axe higher, but feel like I'm getting a very good deal if this sticks.

This is a very nice weapon for someone that is not a primary character of a power gamer with mulitple greensteels.

Op, my offer is sincere..........let me know via PM if intersted.

Personally I wouldn't use this as a utility weapon. I would only pull it out for bosses as firstly there is better weapons for other things and secondly if I only pull it out for bosses the possibility of permanent damage is so low that I don't have to bind it and can share it between characters.
