    Carsomyr is pallie-only 2-handed weapon and as such is not comparable with Flame Tongue which may be used by a few classes more.

    Yes, Flame Tongue is definetly the best "normal" longsword in the SoA (there are two better ones than it: Black Blade of Disaster which is +6 and Mordenkainen's Sword which is +5, but those are spell created ones and don't last for long).

    [EDIT]
    Damn the time! No matter, I also forgot to tell that in BG2 one weapon may have only one enchantment - enchantment may not vary like THAC0 and damage bonus. Enchantments are not written in any description, so if you would like to know which weapons are enchanted +3 and above, you may check this old rambling of mine: http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/002772.html

    Anyway, Ragusa is right, Bioware made a deep "sh*t" by confusing players with the same sword pic. If anyone is artist enough to make another one, please use IEexplorer to extract original ISW1H24 from BAM files - GUIIcon (I may mail this to you if you want) and we'll set it inside SPfixpack. I was confused myself which sword is which while I was playing the game for the first time and confusing players is if you ask me something that needs to be "fixed". :evil:

    Paladin's only? Figures... :p

    What about the daystar? Isn't it +2, but +4 against evil and undead? Or am I just confused again? :p

    And Blackrazor? (If I remembered the name wrong, it's the sword you get in hell and which can free the djinni.) Didn't people claim it to be the ultimate sword in the game sometime?

    What about that club you find in the Asylum? when you sacrifice the trolls' head. The 'Bone Club' or something like that. Holy water works on all undead and Greater Mummies are hit by blunt weapons +3 slashing weapons +2/3 depending, but best of all the flail of ages, all damage it does works, fire and cold though acid doesn't work the hit from the flail will.

    Blackrazor is enchanted +3 so it can't even scratch Kangaxx. I'm not sure who finds it the best weapon in the game and why, especially when you receive it at the very end of the game.

    Daystar is even worse - it is enchanted +2. It is useable in the start with it's imbued spell, but after your clerics get that spell to memorize the sword becomes totally obsolete.

    [EDIT :mad:]
    Ragusa, why do you lately avoid Cult of Mutes at #kitty? I'm already sick of posting the same answer the same time as you are
    :p :p

    [​IMG] Too busy? You? With what? Recruiting new apprentices of muting for LKG? :p

    It's a prime time you remove your b***side from that position and give me a hand with mystery called SPF. I'm mailing it to you.

    [EDIT]
    Come on BTA! We hardly see you post lately. Take this as a positive "pressure" so we may see Lothar once again! ;) :p
