Lorekeeper's Greatsword

Lorekeeper's Greatsword

A large greatsword with a subtle circle pattern. You get the feeling that each curve could resemble a syllable, interlocking where they rhyme to create poetry... however, you could not possibly ascertain meaning from the symbols.

Lorekeeper's Greatsword is a large two-handed Warrior sword covered in a pattern of circles that reads almost like poetry. Mana sustain sets it apart: its mana leech hands mana back with every swing, a boon for a Warrior who also casts spells. Cold magic runs through two ice enhancements, beside a single boost to cutting damage. Its heavy swings also turn critical more often thanks to extra crit chance. A battlemage build that swings a heavy blade and spends mana on spells between blows fits it perfectly. Strength drives its swings, and the mana it returns pays for spells from a second weapon. This scholar's greatsword waits late in the game in the Ancient storehouses of the Cinder's Cradle, among crates and vases left by a people of learning.

Damage By Level

Base damage grows with item level and with rarity. Two-handed weapons deal one and a half times as much as one-handed ones. The table shows the base damage before perks and gems. Each perk adds its own bonus on top.

Level	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary
1	15	16	19	24	26
10	35	39	44	56	62
20	58	64	72	92	102
30	80	88	100	128	141
40	103	113	128	164	181
50	125	138	157	200	220

Enhancements by Level

Each upgrade at the Blacksmith raises a copy by one level and unlocks the next enhancement. The levels count from the copy's own level, so a level 9 copy unlocks them at levels 10 to 14. This weapon takes up to five upgrades. Every upgrade of one copy costs the same number of Runes. On a legendary copy, the fourth and fifth upgrades also take Legendary Runes. The costs are for a level 50 copy. Other copies cost more or less by level, as the second table shows.

Upgrade	Unlocks At	Enhancement	Effect	Runes	Legendary Runes	NPC
1	Level +1	Cutting Damage	Adds Cutting Damage equal to 10% of base damage	850	-	Blacksmith
2	Level +2	Mana Leech	+9 Mana Leech	850	-	Blacksmith
3	Level +3	Critical Strike Chance	+7% Critical Strike Chance	850	-	Blacksmith
4	Level +4	Ice Damage	Adds Ice Damage equal to 10% of base damage	850	106	Blacksmith
5	Level +5	Ice Damage	Adds Ice Damage equal to 10% of base damage	850	106	Blacksmith
Total	-	-	-	4,250	212	Blacksmith

The rune cost depends only on the copy's level. This table shows the price of one upgrade and of every upgrade the copy can take, level by level.

Level	Upgrades	Runes per Upgrade	Total Runes	Total Legendary Runes
1	5	46	230	12
10	5	130	650	32
20	5	256	1,280	64
30	5	418	2,090	104
