Posted By: Burt any good axes in the game? - 01/04/03 04:12 PM
Are there any good axes in the game? All the nice weapons I find are swords. Looks like I screwed up putting 5 points on axe. I am currently a level 29 warrior, but I suck due to my crappy axe.

the one I got:

50-100
+2 int
+2 con
+20 magic
charm 4
and +10 str if I insert a Yit Ydra stone.

I can't for the life of me slay the stalker and the ghost in the sword stone is a real bitch too.

If I made a very bad choice then is it possible to somehow hack the savegame and put those 5 points on sword instead? Heck I might want to do that anyway.

I would be very grateful for any assistance provided
thanks

Raze has an editor, there aren't many good axes but Slasher's quite good.

Actually, it is Zakaron's SaveEditor. I just unrared the archive and zipped the contents after a few people had problems with the rar format or finding a download link that worked.

There are a couple very good axes in the wastelands at the end of the game. Before that, I found a couple which were worth a lot of gold, but wasn't paying attention to the stats.

There are some good axes in the game, slasher for one. I have never used them however so I cant vouch for speed. There were a bunch in the catacombs under aeleroth but there were only two that stood out to me. Dont remember them though. Keep an eye out and if you dont find anything, then use the editor.
As far as killing Stalker and ghost, they are tough but if you have spell capability with limbs of lead, energy cage or freeze and it is high, that is very helpful. In fact , for my mage, who is not supposed to melee, it made many creatures beatable that would not have been otherwise without resorting to scorpion traps. Good luck <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

thanks

hmmmmm perhaps I should stick with axe for now, but thanks for that editor Raze! It might come in handy if I want to switch to swords.

I never understood why, but the catacombs seem to be axe central--and you're not even close to being able to use them. What was Larian thinking? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/question.gif" alt="" />

In Iona's dungeon I found one with lvl 5 firedamage on it. Because I am playing as a warrior right now who is specialized in swords I can't really say if this is good in combat. He is worth over 5K so I guess it is pretty good.

"he" are you selling people again

Mi englesi no es perfecto, how is your Dutch by the way (which is my mothertongue). Oh, and the question was : Is a lvl 5 fire damage axe worth keeping? Or are you going <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> again? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

To confuse you when trying to find Slasher.
