Carsomyr or Purifier?

SixOfSpades · 01-14-2002, 10:27 PM

I gave my Undead Hunter 2 stars in Bastard Sword, so she can wreak havok dual-wielding Foebane and Purifier, when she gets them, but she's also going to learn 2-Handed Swords so she can whip out the Carsomyr+6 when it's time to face Mages. Problem is, the improved Carsomyr and the improved Purifier require the same item to ugrade them--and that item is unique. So I've got to choose.
The Foebane/Purifier combo is quite brutal, and she can also perform the trick of using Foebane and a shield, switching her Quick Weapon to Purifier (for the Magic Resistance) whenever she sees a spell coming. Still.....Carsomyr casts Dispel Magic with every hit.

Your thoughts?

Tough call, but I've always loved Carsomyr and the upgraded Carsomyr is just brutal. My vote is for Carsomyr but its not based on anything solid. [img]smile.gif[/img]

This may upet some of the purists but you don't really have to decide!
If you have the cheats Enabled you can create both from the CLUA Console.

I don't remember the Item codes for them off hand but, hey it was just a thought.

I would go for the Purifier... the Eye of Tyr benefits it more than Carsomyr.

You only get +1 to THACO and damage if you upgrade Carsomyr. You get much more if you upgrade the Purifier.

I would give my vote to Purifier. Also if you have Sendai's shield you can have a character with a high protection and good attack.

SixOfSpades · 01-15-2002, 06:47 PM

Now that I look up some more data, you're quite right, Dundee! Compared to an upgraded Purifier, who needs an extra +1 THAC0 on Carsomyr? I think +5 is all that's needed to hit anything in the game. Purifier, here I come! (eventually......)

1. Purifier is found on the Maze level of Watchers Keep.

2. Purifier is Holy Avenger Lite, Bastard Sword version. Also paladins only. Upgradable.

It's in a stone pillar with the maze. You can only retrieve it from inside the pillar by having a character of Lawful good alignment clock on the pillar twice.
