Ornamental Dagger

[Viking707]

Devs,

Please consider making only the 20th level Epic Ornamental Dagger exclusive.

My sorcerer currently uses two Ornamental Daggers. One 16th level and one 20th level. I don't even use the clicky on the 20th level dagger that much. What's important to me is being able to mix the superior potency VII and 6% arcane lore from the "Epic" dagger with the 9% fire, ice and electric lore of the 16th level one. While the 20th level "Epic" version is generally considered superior overall, it's not superior in every way. It takes using both to reap the maximum benefits.

My understanding of why Turbine is making the dagger excusive is to prevent excessive use of the maximize sp reduction clicky. I understand that, but...................... the 16th level dagger (as well as the lower level daggers) don't have clickys. It's a non-issue. Limiting the "exclusive" feature to just the 20th level Epic versions solves the clicky problem without needless nerfing of the lower level daggers.

If I were forced to pick between my 16th level dagger, and my 20th one, I'm not sure which way I would go. Now if the 20th level "Epic" version had 9% arcane lore, that would be a different story, but sadly it doesn't.

Devs, please consider my proposal.

Uh, it is only the level 20 that's exclusive

The release notes just say:

The Ornamental Dagger is now exclusive. Players who have several of these items in their inventories will find them drained off all charges when equipped (and after resting.) This can be averted if players place the extra daggers into their banks.

No reference to "Epic", hence my concern about losing the ability to dual wield a 20th level dagger with a 16th level dagger.

Somebody else confirmed in another thread that only the 20th level dagger was exclusive, that you could still have a 20th level and a 16th level. Were they incorrect? Have you tested this out?

They're technically different items. I do believe they can be carried together.

No, I haven't tested it out. I don't currently have any characters on Lamania. I was just referencing the release notes.

If what you say is true ........................ Cool!

Could you (or someone) post a link for me to the reference? Not questioning you or anything, I'd just like to read it.
