Better secondary weapon for Samurai?

MasterPooBaa · 05-08-2002, 09:12 PM

party is 13th level.
got a nice samurai
decent armour onboard, decent bow for long ranged stuff
(great bow + barbed arrows)

primary weapon started off as a katana, then the enchanted katana,
and now he is happily using demonsbane.
the weak thing with his kit is his secondary weapon
started off as a wussy wakashi and still has the same

cant even seem to find the wakashi +1 i know is outthere somewhere

any idea's on where i can find a better secondary weapon for him?

I believe the enhanced wakashi is the best secondary sword available. Not sure who sells them, probably Antone and/or Ferro.

One can be found in the cavern hidden behind the waterfall in the Northern Wilderness area.

Also think you can PP one off of Antone =) And make a run for Fang, your Samurai will love that sword.

I noticed that my Samurai did a lot more lightning strikes at the start of the game compared to the end of the game. I think maybe its due to the fact that he was using Fang and not a 'samurai' waepon. Thoughts?

thinking back to wizardry 7, the best secondary weapon for the samurai i found was actually a wand.
forgotten its name but it did decent damage, plus a small chance to do a whole range of bad things i.e. stun, poison, critical, stone, disease K.O. etc.
wonder if its in wiz8...

Well, if the German translates right, it's the Kobold Wand, i loved them in W-7 myself. No, they don't import, nor have i found or heard of the finding of one. Turned a lot of stuff to stone with those!

Hey, but wasn't that wand faerie only? My faerie rogue had a great time using that, turned everything to stone [img]smile.gif[/img]

I think it depends on levels. If you are high level samurai and fight against lower level monsters, you will make more lightning strikes. I am pretty sure also, that you cannot affect lightning strike, because it's random.

There is a theory out there that lightning strike is based on how much weight you're carrying-I don't know if anyone has put any validity behind it, but I've read it in 2-3 places. I barely ever got a lightning strike after I started using Fang, but I didn't get them much with bloodlust, either. But I do carry a lot of stuff, so that may be part of it.

yah, Kobold is fairy only, doesn't import, so it's just a dream. I guess Winter Wand will have to do, you just have to train Staff/Wand once your Swd is up.
Lightning strike is definitely affected be Speed, Snakespeed, and Dex. What you're carrying doesn't seem to me to be a problem until you go over 2/3 Cap.
