3 questions.
« on: November 19, 2010, 05:32:14 pm »
I have 3 questions.

1. How do I remove my current weapon?

2. How do I equip a weapon?

I got a iron long sword and want to replace it with my bronze scimitar, this also leads to my 3rd question...

3. Is it completely normal for a HUMAN weapon shop to have IRON goods?

I heard humans only use bronze and this place sells iron, copper, and sliver (althought I'm pretty sure its only sliver arrows) weapons. Is this a glich? And if not, is toady planning to make humans use iron in their attacks? (That should make for a lot of !!FUN!!)

1. Press "p" or "P" (can't remember which) to put the item in your backpack.

2. Make sure you have a free hand, drop the weapon on the floor and pick it back up. It should be automatically equipped in your free hand.

3. Humans use all sorts of materials (from silver to iron, not sure about steel) for weapons and armour since the update. The material of the weapon/armour/shield that each human or shop gets seems to be randomly selected (at least I haven't noticed a pattern?)

Thanks! Luckly, I'd forgotten to get my sword from the sword so I was saved the labor of dropping it then picking it up.

Also, it was "p" to drop weapons.

Thats the one!

Also I thought that iron was a better material for swords than bronze in this update, or have I got that wrong? I would've kept the iron longsword but I may have got it the wrong way round, wouldn't suprise me ;)

People claim that bronze has a slight edge over iron but I don't think it's conclusive. I prefer iron gear.

An easier way to equip an item (weapon, tool, kobold head) then drooping it and picking it back up. Is to press (r)emove to take the item out, it'll automatically equip to a free hand.

Or a non-free hand.
Wearing seven shields is overpowered but hilarious. :p

Ah man, I hadn't even considered that.
