Talk:Starter Sword

Wasn't able to find it. Hypothesis that it's a buggy weapon that might occasionally be disarmed from the Preserved Footprint Heropoint. (The HP uses a sword + torch and has Hilt Bash, Slash, and his description says he burns, though that wasn't the case when I tested it.) I honestly think it's a buggy npc weapon or a removed Jotun weapon. The other notes on this weapon, including that it didn't have an animation, also suggest that it's a bug drop.--Rain Spell (talk) 18:22, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

I am inclined to agree with the above assessment, for the most part. I have seen a number of Icicle Shards as well as Ancient Jotun weapons and Jotun weapons. The skills for the Starter Sword from the History show 2 Warrior skills, Slash and Hilt Bash (warrior), which was retired back in 2013. Could this change have simply gone un-noticed?

Is there an easy way to check the API to see if this bundle item still exists? User Lady Elyssa sig.png Lady Elyssa.2469 21:03, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Nope, API doesn't allow for checking things like that. ~Sime 21:04, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
