Unless you're coming from Umpani country. Then it would only the empath, and wait a bit (xray). Then Sentry as you said. Slightly quicker imho (but harder to get to).

Is that sword really that good? not ever having seen it I don't know. Does it compair with any other sword?

FIRE is your friend if you want quick runs to the chest in Bayjin, get lots of FIRE. ;)

BANISH is your friend if you want to play with Buccaneers, get lots of BANISH. ;)

PATIENCE is your friend if you want to see a Light Sword, get lots of PATIENCE. ;)

BTW - Light Sword = best sword, rivaled only by Muramasa and Excaliber. IMO

What are Muramasa and Excaliber like, are they 2 handed, can only be used be certian classes?
and are they easy to find?

Excalibur - 2 handed, IIRC usable by fighter, lord and valkyrie. Rare in the chest behind nessie. I think i found it twice, but never used it, since i had only one character that could use it, and prefered dual wield.

Marumasa Blade - 1 handed, samurai only. About 1/3 chance in queens chest. Like bushido blade, with bigger damage and IIRC 10% critical hit.

Some weapon stats for comparison:

Light Sword - 1H weapon, usable by Fighter, Lord, Valkyrie, Ranger, Samurai, Ninja, Rogue, Bard, and Gadgeteer, of any race, including Faerie. 5-40 damage, +6 to hit, +7 initiative, 10% kill chance, double damage vs. androids.

Muramasa Blade - 1H weapon, usable by Samurai only, any race, including faerie. 7-28 damage, +4 to hit, +5 initiative, 15% kill chance.

Excaliber - 2H weapon, usable by Fighter, Lord, Valkyrie, any race but faerie. 10-45 damage, +4 to hit, -5 initiative, 25% hex chance, 5% kill chance, HP regen +1. Lightning (6) variable charges.

Avenger - 2H weapon, Fighter, Lord, Valkyrie, any race but Faerie. 11-38 damage, +3 to hit, +2 initiative, 10% kill chance, Lightning (6) variable charges.

Blades of Aesir (axe) - 2H weapon, usable by Fighter, Lord, Valkyrie and Ranger, any race but Faerie. 5-35 damage, +2 to hit, -4 inititiative, 5% kill chance, 5% KO chance, Iceball (5) variable charges.

The Aesir and the Muramasa have turned up on occasion in the Rapax Queen's chest. Avenger appeared once or twice in the Crypt Keeper's chest. Excaliber showed in Nessie's chest, and the Light Sword in Bayjin. Your mileage may vary ;)

Excaliber can be found in Rapax Queens chest as well. The Avenger has only Lightning (5) (max 12), Excaliber lightning (6) (max 25).

Gaah. I have it written down right here that the Avenger has Lightning (5); dunno how it became 6. Must have been the keyboard ;)

P.S. They make the keys too close together! ;)

Glad I'm not the only one to have a 'dodgy' keyboard!! ;)

Another question about secondaries - I have an Enchanted Wakasashi and a Nunchaka for possible use by my ninja. They are rated identical in HP range, to hit and initiative. The E-Wak has 2% kill and the Nun has 15% knockout, yet the E-wak is priced at 25x the Nun. I want the money for another robe but wonder if the slim kill % is worth it. Is that little 2% magnified somehow by the ninja's critical hit ability? An unconscious foe is nearly as good as dead, IMO.
