General

I finally finished editing to the bottom of the page, but the article's not quite complete or 100% polished yet.

  1. The introduction isn't all that great. Maybe someone more eloquent could spruce it up a little.
  2. The TOC is a little unwieldy. Maybe someone could replace it with something like what's on the Category:Relic Weapons or Auto-Translator pages.
  3. The Rasetsu Armor set needs testing.
  4. The elemental staves also work on debuffs (e.g., Ice Staff for Paralyze) but I'm not sure whether "potency" conveys that. Should their hidden effects include a "___ element magic accuracy +10/15%"?
  5. Test MP drain of various rune weapons
  6. The food effect coloring is sort of nice, and gives those two lines external consistency, but on this particular page I think the extra colors make it a little too busy, especially while trying to convey which effects are changed from the normal food effects. The red text within links also conflicts with the normal wiki coloring of broken internal links.
  7. The undocumented latents at the bottom need testing, of course.

Hmm, I think the Princely Sword hidden stat swap effect is just a rumor. I haven't seen hidden effects on any other KS99 weapons, and haven't come across any documented proof of the effect. If you find some, please post it! ^^ --Ichthyos 06:42, 24 July 2006 (EDT)

dont have any 1st hand proof, it came up in conversation while doing the ks99 run in h.peak.
someone also said it might have to be elvaan also, again, not sure.
i'd rather post it, and have it debunked then have people wonder.
(although it does make you wonder why it sells for so much, for just +4 str with such hefty penalties)

I believe the Princely Sword's high price is due to the following factors:

It's a KS99 drop, so supply remains relatively low.
It's the highest damage sword (with a STR bonus to boot) for PLDs who are collecting DD gear.

Company Fleuret? Maybe similar to Company Sword?
