Heroes do not have to worry about range because Brandish has a set animation range.

Because range isn't that big a deal. To most normal players anyway. Then again, all the normal players aren't paladins, so they go with 2h.

for heroes the lunch box' short range only is noticable when you use finishers like panic and coma since brandish has, like said before, a set reach.
basically using a lunch box versus a sparta/caravella means : lunch box: higher attack and faster speed, more dps, shorter reach with finishers. sparta/caravella: (lower attack), slower attacking speed, eassier to land a finisher due longer reach. however if you use a lunchbox for a few hours you will soon enough get used to the short reach and still land your finishers. for paladins this is a much bigger issue though, because they dont have a set range attack like heroes. its very hard to not miss your attack every few attacks, even with practise. so most paladins dont use a lunchbox.

KatanaKiwi Wrote:when using the sword ingame you can clearly notice it having a longer range :S weird stuff People always stated that the OS had a faster attack-speed compared to FF. You know why? Because it was bigger and people THOUGHT it moved faster due to that. Not because it actually attacked faster; their speed is equal. Yet people claim that OS is faster. Same idea here. I'd assume it's just an illusion. :X the weapon itself isn't scripted. It's just an object/hashtable containing variables and pictures. The variable afterImage states that it is OS. The weapon itself is swordS:

Sorry for reviving an old and dead thread, I'm not sure if this is better than making a new thread o.O
But anyways here it goes, is it still easy to obtain the items needed to forge the black crystal blade, specifically I'm talking about the crystal blade, I almost know nothing about ITCG..is it still avaiable? I have not seen any in FM. Also how much does the black/crystal blade usually cost nowadays? And when you forge it, the stats are random or set? Thanks/

Zakum Diamonds don't drop anymore, so upgrading a Crystal Blade can't be done. Stats are set though, and can usually cost around 100mil for an upgraded one (in Scania.)

Well, if you're in Mardia, I could upgrade 2 of them if you really want one. I have 2 diamonds on my chars from a while ago. :f6:
