I found a sweet weapon, The Creyn Blade!

[Vitriss Bale]

I've had my butt handed to me so many times by those freakin' undead, and I've been carrying Goblindoom around since the beginning of the game.

Finally an upgrade! :D

Yes, congratulations are in order. You will want to keep this one for quite a while, taking advantage of its bonus damage against the vast majority of the undead foes.

However, do not yet sell your Goblindoom (if ever - it is better to keep such a unique item, be they a weapon, a piece of armour, or most anything else).

In fact, you should still keep Goblindoom in your character's inventory, because I suspect you'll find good use for it in single-run adventures, random encounters, and perhaps elsewhere. Eventually it will become obsolete, but when that time comes, it's better to simply store it away in one of your residences, rather than sell it.

Also weapons with specific bonuses such as the Creyn's undead bonus and Goblindoom's goblin bonus not only add those bounuse when fighting that type of foe but they are particularly valuable and handy in scaled scenarios.

Scaled scenarios being those in which the enemy difficulty or roll needed is the same regardless of MR. When you are in scaled situations bonuses vs. that specific enemy type come off the top so to speak. You'll find that the Creyn is much more valuable and effective in Axepath or against scaled undead than a sword with twice or even three times the straight non specific MR boost.

While there's no current scaled grinding scenarios with goblins (except for Tarn's goblins) there may be and it has been handy in other scaled encounters (the Glowing Goblin limited time events come to mind).

Yes, I completed the Giants quests from Hawklor so I carry Giant's Bane (is that right?) and Goblindoom in my inventory for specific fights and I keep The Creyn Blade equipped due to it's +12 MR bonus.

Giantfell Blade - +10, extra +20 vs Giants

A very nice weapon with an excellent situational bonus (especially if there are ever many scaled giant encounters added ...).

Especially if there are ever any scaled giant encounters added, I'd say...

[Ankhmahor]

OMG... I just had a nice fail here. :eek:

Eh? Scaled giants? Which type of giant had scales?!

Then I got it but it was a humbling moment. Sigh.. must be my old age creeping in.


Oh one more thing:
With the increase in stamina and NR of my guy (http://www.sryth.com/p/?1a59b5bxce25e6bbb) I stopped using all weapons adding boni in scaled events. I'm largely using the Haleblade now. I get more combat XP that way. Not much but hey! Every little bit helps.
