I've been out of UO for about 2 years. When I left i saved all my weapons and now i'm not sure what is good any more since my GM smith just made a weapon with 35%damage increase with out using a magic hammer. Way back when I thought that was a power weapon, now it must be the norm? What does everyone look for if its a keeper?

Thanks,

What most people are looking for nowadays is stuff with high leech on it, (mana, life, stam) some hit lower defense, HCI and SSI, along with DI. Swords still cant be enhanced to make much a difference, but the bows and wooden bokutos can be enhanced with all the new wood, and each type has special properties.

My weapon that I use for my swordsman has 50mana leech, 42hld, 30ssi, 11hci, 38di. It is a rune blade, with decent specials on it. I know alot of poeple dont really like em, but I do.

My bow is a normal bow with 46mana leech, 42stam leech, 5hci, 25ssi, 48di. It gets the job done.

He's right.........

you can get weapons now with more +damage as loot from monsters..
go for the leach weapons

As to your question, every GM made weapon is made with 35% Damage Increase

**Drools over bow and rune blade** nice finds or whatever there!

the rune blade was found on the first few days of ML. It was a blacksmith reward. My buddy didnt use a swordsman, so he gave it to me, and I have been using it ever since. The bow was given to me the night of the killing of every other bow, before pub 39. The great part was this, we tried to enhance it with ash, and it broke. Then they reverted the shards, and we got another chance later that night.. hehe.. This time we tried yew to get some more DI and some hci on it. We got really lucky with the bows we broke that night, getting a second chance..
