It wasn't labeled as 2hp; it just said 'piercing'. Curious as to how long it was 2hs before becoming piercing.

I only remember piercing, then 1hs, so that's anecdotal failure on my part I guess. Only used the weapon briefly due to it being an incredible stamina killer.

Since paladins didn't have piercing skill, did Wurmslayer use slashing skill? That's what I recall, but I can't remember if I got skill ups.

Is it a 1 handed piercing weapon on P99 then?

As for the timeline, kalzin, I don't suppose that database has an entry that contains date modified or something similar?

As far as i can remember it was Priercing first

My appologies for the first post, was using my brother's computer so i had him edit it with his memory on the item. As for further review of the database entrie you are correct that it was piercing then changed to 1hs. when running the query $=ILv the 2hs version shows up as Null, whereas the 1hs and piercing versions show True and False respectivley. Meaning the 2hs version was on the test server.

I am learning this console still so bare with me.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Addendum: I have learned that since this is the Velious database I can pull forward loot that was SUPPOSED to go to the sleeper in the event that it was ever possible to kill it... such items include: "Robe of Eternal Destruction" "Robe of Primordial Evolution" "Sharded Blade of Kerafyrm" etc... It would appear however that the SOE devs became upset that someone managed to defeat the sleeper before the event was finished, and also by using a glitch. thus these items never went into her loot table [You must be logged in to view images.

Adendum secunda: I don't believe there is a date modified field as all items in the database were left... you can add but you can't delete or edit items except for the ILv (Is live) field and/or by adding a / before the name, in the case of multiple changes I have noticed // and even /// items... I assume these were used to coment the items that did exist at one point but were removed from the game (maybe to notate their previous decisions to remove them so they were not accidentally re-added)

Also, I tried running a search for * con* | echo (**) but it lags for a very long time then responds with the following:
*## Error the search request Fails, too many results!

i also tried alphabetical search: A* con* |Echo (**)
with the same results... even tried results that would return less than 100 results... after toying with it it would appear that I can only search for a maximum of 20-30 entries before it crashes... and even then it limits it by session (a session is defined by 1-hour limitation)...

Wurmslayer was most certainly never 2hp. Were there even 2hp weapons in the game prior to Velious? Gordon's post about needing a "polearm" skill, aka 2 handed piercing, would indicate that it hadn't existed at that point.

As for the erroneous change what he is saying is that it definitely originated as a 2hs weapon and was accidentally changed to 1 handed piercing instead of 1 handed slashing as they had intended. The 1 handed slash change was implemented pending the next patch. The only thing that can really be argued is whether it was ever a piercing weapon on Live before it went from 2-hs to 1-hs.

I have no proof, but this is correct from what I remember. It was 2HS > 1HP > 1HS in that order. Then it went from being PRI/SEC/RNG to PRI only.

Also, I'm pretty sure Tantor's Tusk from Velious was the first 2HP in the game. It also might have been labled as just "piercing" but took both hands --- ZAM has it listed as a 2HP though.
