I second the motion to update these.

Taking up the upcoming fix of the Bo Staff of Trorsmang (https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=343998) I would like to propose changing Primal Two Handed Weapons, that have not been updated to supposed post patch values.

Primal Velium Brawl Stick
Primal Velium Claidhmore


Oct 8, 2001

Summary of Melee Changes:
Two-Handed Weapons have been given an increased damage bonus for characters over level 50. Also, certain post-epic quality two-handers have been improved.

So far only one of the two handed Primal weapons has been upgraded:

Primal Velium War Lance

Research from Kinaki indicated that the Primal Velium War Lance got upgraded on the November 7th 2001 patch:

Synthlol found excellent evidence for the upgrade of the Bo Staff of Trorsmang due to archived versions of Allakhazam where the updated item stats were shown. Unfortunately not every item page is preserved in that way. Examples for Primal Velium Brawl Stick and Primal Velium War Lance show pre-patch stats in early 2002, though comments in both sites indicate that updates have been done to both weapons (at least the War lance in November 2001, Brawl Stick comments were not before April 2002). Due to forum comments not being very reliable, it is very hard to pinpoint the exact patch those were changed.

In case of the brawl stick the update might have posted later in the timeline because it's the time when the posting person (Boshuda) got the item.

A good evidence for a previous upgrade is the following source:

A post from September 21st 2001 decribes the update to the Primal Velium Claidhmore:

Primal Velium Claidhmore (was 33/35 AC:10 +5 to all stats/resists +50hp/mana) is now:
DMG: 47 DLY: 43 AC:17 +8 to all stats/resists +75 hp/mana

A Screenshot on this page shows a Primal Velium Brawl Stick in the post stat version at on march 8th 2002:

So the stats have definetly been updated before April 2002, still not clearly visible if it has been 2001 :-(.

Since it seems illogical to change one Primal (in this case the War Lance) but not the Brawl Stick and the Claidhmore at the same time, I ask to change the stats of those primals to post patch values, to be in line with their priceless and primal brothers and sister.
