Title: Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Description: Weapon help

why do my weapons go to 67% and 33% in like 5 days? anyway to fix or stop this?

sorry, the more you use them the faster they wear out. you'll just have to trade for more (or nudge someone into a covered pit...) at some point when they give out. maybe someday we'll be able to sharpen the blades and rebind handles or whatever.

how does that pit thing work exactly?!?!

karrieness - April 5, 2008 07:07 PM (GMT)
It's a trap thing. You have to use a shovel to dig a hole, then you need a sharpened pole and you use the (T)raps option to set it. Then you cover the trap. Presto! One covered trap pit.
This is vague 'cuz it's been a while since I did this.

you need 6 wooden stakes in your inventory, then under traps (3) choose the (i)mprove trap option. don't forget to cover it afterward.

i sometimes toss some worthless item like a turnip or a stake onto the covered pit because npc's are obsessed with picking up random junk and will go for the item.

Blasphemer! Turnips are the least useless item! :P (j/k)

5 days in game time or real life time? :)
I also recall that tossing weapons, such as knives, used to wear them down really fast or make them disappear altogether. Not sure if that's been fixed (if I toss weapons, it's rocks or javelins, so missing one wont be a loss!). You've been tossing those weapons lately?
But otherwise, normal wear is ~1% per kill. If you killed 34 furry critters, then that's normal.

hehe, never throw them and after 4 trees my axe is at 67% 7 more and im donw to 33% and then 5 more and its gone... Never thrown them or fight with them...

See my problem?

how odd :blink: weapons shouldn't wear out from regular use (chopping trees, etc.) only from using them against animals and enemies.

i think they disolve in blood :P

Also if i dont use the weapon or tool it gets damaged aswell... This is REALLY ticking me off (in 20 game days ive gone through 8 handaxes from woodcutting, 6 shovels from digging pits, and my swords rotted away in my inventory even though i didnt use them...)

SOME ONE PLEASE!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!

New feature perhaps?

aislinn - April 8, 2008 07:20 AM (GMT)
i can't say it will definitely help but you might try uninstalling the game and re-installing it. it's possible that either the save is corrupt or possibly the game file itself. i was recently plagued by villagers attacking me for no reason and after i re-installed the game they all behaved. i wasn't savescumming, but that sometimes bothers the game as well.

i hope the game starts behaving for you like it should, serious bugs like that are impossible to live with. good luck!

Xeon,

I've never heard of such issues - so something is definately wrong there.
Has this happened with only a one character?

Xeon - April 11, 2008 10:04 AM (GMT)
after a couple day of messing around with the files, i think it found out why... Most of the files were corupt because we got a virus so i killed the virus and re-installed... I've been playing this character for 30 ingame days and only my buckler has dissapeared...

For some reason all my good weapons like to dissapear when i dont use them :blink:
