Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General What's better? singing blade? or nobleman's sword?

What's better and why please? explain Why do you prefer one over the other.
From what i've seen, damage wise the singing blade is the best i seen yet in the game but it's 2 handed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> i got the dragon shield but i never use it. even tohugh the nobleman's sword does less dmg, is it still better to use it? (cause then you can use a shield with it). please help?
it just seem weird to me that the singing blade (a sword that i got pretty early in the game) is gonna be my weapon for the whole game.

the Noble sword has less damage, correct - but this one here has a lot of additional goodies, it's from [color:"yellow"]gamer Kag1[/color]. And as a 1-hander you can profit from what the Shield gives you.

the Singing Blade has a lot of damage - but not so many goodies? I'm talking about stats/resistances and charm slots.

The prob is this: all stats are random, so it's more a matter of luck? I'd still take a 1-hander and profit from the Shield goodies also.

BTW, I went for the Sword of Gods afterwards => here is a pic from [color:"yellow"]gamer Smiler[/color]. It's a one-hander also, allows me to use the shield stats...

Heh kiya thanks for your help although 99% of the links you always mention to me in your posts are link i already seen. You didn't know by now but im visiting your fabolus site quite often <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Oh yes and if i might ask, that sword of gods i can find in the wastelands or where?? oops sorry to ask it says where it is right in the picture lol

So if the sword of gods is better you say, in the end i won't use the nobleman's sword? so i might just take the amulet from the sacrifice instead? Since the sword will only be useful for limited time?(till i get the sword of gods that is).

Yes, this was my choice as a mage => amulet. Lego mentioned this also, taking the amulet, as there is a better sword.
But keep this in mind: stats are random. If you look at [color:"yellow"]Smiler's link [/color] - and go to the thumbnails there => you'll see her amulet IIRC. She made screenshots from all her end stuff <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Ah, my site => well, sometimes I put new stuff in there. Kag1 has already promised me new bonnets - yah! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

So, all of you interested in a small collection of weapons/items etc => send them to me via mail, in png, please, so I can modify. I'll host them. Depending on how much it'll be, I might reorganise the weapon/items part. It's nice to see how different the stuff is. And I've got space enough for that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> - if you wish to send whole sets, I'll do them in the style like Smiler's is - just have to think of a way to display it then <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> - hm, I think I've got an idea already... (might take a bit of time though, I'm in Spellforce fever, last maps - cleaning the rift from demons <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> )

WA WA WAIT a sec kiya.
You actully still play divine divinity? why don't you move on? finish some other games? :X

I practice my skill in html <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> - ok, I'm off for today: Spellforce.
Kiya

Yes, I play Div, if a gamer has a question and I have forgotten a detail. I'm addicted to this world <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

LOL! Why would anyone stop playing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />??? I live in 3 differnt houses in Rivillon! I have a castle,and a couple smaller homes. I vacation at the forum! It's like the summer villa! I doubt I will ever stop playing! There is just way to much to do there! I am on my 6th run and am still finding new things to do!

The stats are random. A nobleman sword can be as good if not better than a sword of the gods. Take a look at my nobleman's sword if you haven't seen it already: http://wind.prohosting.com/~bundys/nobleman.html
Also take a look at this guy's sword: http://easyweb.globalnet.hr/easyweb/users/kpongrac/uploads/sword.jpg
It's all about how much time you're willing to waste reloading for better stats. But if you're willing to do that (reload for better stats), then I think you should definitely go with a 1 handed sword and a shield, instead of 2 hander.

I'm stupid. where is the singing blade?

Part of the Marcus/Trevor/Tingalf quest - when you have the clue to corner an enemy in the NE part of the Ars sewers, he drops this - and an important letter.
Kiya

eh? I finished that quest, never got the blade. oh well. I like my bow better

maybe your blade was hidden by the wall like the manuscript here? Just go back and search the area with mouse or ALT - if you killed Pedro, it'll still be there - or you sold it as an unidentified sword. If you hit "next" in this link, you'll see how it looks.
