THe best I have found so far has to be my Hurthling Necromancer's "Blessed Light Eternium-Shod Quarterstaff of Devastation (+16, 6D10+16)"! :)

What's yours? :)

Near the same, eternium twohanded sword of devastation.

The best I found were artifacts:

The holy avenger "Justifier" - cool crowning gift for paladins, and it gives you a lawful boost every time you kill any chaotically aligned creature, especially undead), allowing you to do anything from attacking peaceful NPCs to digging up graves without worrying.

And the lead-filled mace "Big Punch" - how I love that name, it sounds like it was devised by a troll ;) - giving you one of the best damage values available (8d5+5 IIRC), which makes for an average of 29 (range 13-45), not including weapon ability bonuses, and the bonus for high strength.

And afaik, both are one-handed weapons (or if Big Punch isn't, Justifier certainly is, giving you a great opportunity to wield that fancy eternium tower shield...

My dwarven paladin and Lawful Champion Medoc, who possessed all these three (both artifacts and the shield) actually made it to level 28 (highest level I ever got), before he was corrupted into oblivion (I never actually got transformed to a jelly, I just got lots of very annoying things, Poison Hands, Hooves, Mana Battery, Big Cranium - nice for mages, but horrible for warriors - and other crap).


Move the cursor to the desired position and press [SPACE] when done.
Impossible. Suddenly you stand elsewhere.
You see an ancient altar of black obsidian.
The goblin rockthrower suddenly shouts a prayer to his gods! You are consumed by a roaring column of flame!

My best weapon, it was a murderous eternium long sword of penetration, found it with one of my Orcish nercomancers in the grave yard, and he used it until his death(The greater moloch punches threw your armor and criticaly hits you, the greater moloch punches threw your armor and criticaly hits you, you die.).

Well, not sure. Of course, if you count artifacts, trident of the red rooster is my best one I've got. Other than artifacts, really can't remember the best ones.

Big Punch is quite useless IMO, 'cause it doesn't slay anything and it can't be dual-wielded with a weapon that slays preferably demons.
And, the twin-daggers aren't that good either, as I've found that any other two weapons dual-wielded with a high-skill gives you the same (or better) damage and a bit less to hit.

The best weapon I've gotten is probably the TotRR:)

Though the best one with pre/suffixes might be a wicked eternium sword of devastation.


If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

knife of endurance (+10, 1d3+10) [+4, +0] {To+7}

Some THS I smithed myself I think. Don't recall any figures, but it was tough.

Needle and Sting, good combo, gives a heck of to hit bonus.

Vanquisher.

Non-artifact... Murderous eternium two-handed sword of vampirism. Found it in the SmC... my character died about fifteen minutes later after being paralyzed.

Beware the RNG. :P

without doubt the best weapon i found was an eternium 2 handed sword of penetration, i picked it up in darkforge with my dwarfen wizard.
He could maul pretty much anything in melee up to greater molochs & take the tricky opponents like killer bugs or rust monsters with magic from afar

i got to cocky with my uber-weapon though & stupidly attacked a pack of annihilators in melee...you can guess what happened next :(

Definetely blessed unerring enternium long sword of penetration (+36, 8d5+23) [+43, +32], improved by smithing and many written scrolls of increase -foo-. Impossible to miss, bypasses PV, and does as much as 63 damage. And my weaponsmith can dual-wield one and one almost as good, with skill 15 in swords and 100 in two weapon combat. That's, what, a minimum of 124 damage a hit, and a maximum of 252 (without criticals)

Or maybe needle&sting, TotRR, or Vanquisher.

Or a 1d4+81 phase dagger, smithed and scrolled as with the sword.

Eternium long swords do a base damage of 2d8. Unerring is a missile prefix. Scrolls of protection/defense don't work on weapons nor can you improve weapons' dv/pv. Other than that, a nice sword.

If your post was meant as a joke, I'd say it was pathetic.

Actually, U can smith a weapons DV bonus a bit. Maximum bonus what I have managed to get is +4, like in that knife I stated earlied:

knife of endurance (+10, 1d3+10) [+4, +0] {To+7}

Those tohit and todmg bonuses max is also usually around +10. Maybe a dwarven weaponsmith can make a bit better, dunno...

Anyways, that msg from AD sounds obscene. Unerring melee weapon... :-D

I got me a longbow of accuracy (+11,+6) once. It was much more useful to me then any melee weapons I had. Of course, I had way to many arrows so I didn't have to worry about running out.
