The first Curse-imbued weapon in AO

Arcane Adventures had several known Sea Curse-imbued weapons, such as the Sword of Morock’s Fire and Arsen’s unnamed sword. But Arcane Odyssey, despite having far more curse users, did not have any known curse weapons to my knowledge. Until now, with the remodeled corpses at Blasted Rock!

The sword that Zaix is impaled with has a green blade, the color of Slash. And we know his killer, Avery Walker, had the Slash Curse and was a skilled swordsman. It must be an arcanium sword, since it remained infused with Slash Magic long after receiving zero contact with its wielder. This is something we only see with weapons that have some degree of arcanium in them; the Sunken Sword, Sunken Staff, Triasta of Bronze, etc.

As for why we don’t just take this overpowered curse weapon and use it ourselves… I assume it would be extremely dangerous to wield due to its unique properties. We’d probably dice ourselves up. Avery was likely a master of the blade already before he got his curse and started using it with his weapon.

Oh hey, Kessler Boreas was stated to be skilled with a spear, so I bet he had a Darkness-imbued arcanium spear too. It’s not a confirmed curse weapon but we can be pretty confident.

not accurate, vetex didnt want us to permanently imbue arcanium/fighting style items for vanity, why should lore? >:((

Not gonna lie I originally thought that was just an oxidified bronze blade, but this actually makes more sense since oxidified bronze don’t even look like that and I doubt that Avery Walker would use a bronze blade as well

I mean I always thought that was what Neviro’s spear was

In a future update, blasted rock will get a “Unique Items” exploration task and this sword will be obtainable, trust me.

maybe i should’ve also changed the sword.

or… the thorne empire just uses green weapons

what alloy is green

uhhhh paint I guess? doesn’t matter it looks cool :100:

that or its whatever the sunken staff is made of without the wateryness

it’s free for the taking!!! give me the sword!!!

281 wep requirement :sob:

or we simply dont know that this isnt an normal sword…
or, of course, game desing

We canonically loot everything off every boss we kill, plus we loot the armour in Makrinaos off that corpse, why wouldn’t we loot the sword

Im sure we actually dont strip bosses naked lorewise

I don’t think they are butt naked under their armor

except Argos but mc would totally do that :smirk:

well obviously we’re not after some basic fabric but the armour of course we are.

I don’t really understand the vermillion bracelet tho since iris does keep it

carinas “faulds”:

so we are up skirting Carina as she bleeds out :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
