We're going to have a ton of "Ambanes" situations This update

So apparently, this guy named Ambanes in sailors lodge “was” an “oracle”, and he had a spirit staff that used the same model as the Staff of Night, so Vetex instated that he instead bought some fake spirit weapon that did nothing.

now, with the release of Spirit weapons on the horizon, we’ll be decently close to that reality: in our current situation, people sell SSwords without the Rising Tide skill, which is about Half the swords value, due to it being an exclusive skill. You might see where this is going;

Because spirit weapons come with 2 unique skills, people are obviously going to do the same thing with spirit weapons, leaving people buying “fake” weapons that dont have the necessary rites :skull:

while we could resolve this, it makes Ambanes 100% cannon, and serves as an easy reminder to people to always “read the fine-print” before trading so how would you feel if this was kept as a “feature” :sob:.

Today’s prescript says to convince the first 12 people you meet to buy a fake spirit weapon.

hello hi would you like to get this super duper cool crystal orb spirit weapon that totally isnt just some glass sphere i picked up somehwere?

I’m pretty sure these 2 unique skills are specific to the spirit weapon and can’t be disarmed

they can be disarmed, we’ve seen it in the spoilers:

  • but also: SSword’s rising tide is exclusive, and it can also be disarmed. Its for if the person doesnt want to use the exclusive skill on the weapon.

Unique rites can be disarmed, but they can’t be put on other spirit weapons

This is why when your buying weapons with unique skills, you DON’T be an idiot, and make sure to check if it has the skill or not.
Literally all it takes to avoid getting scammed by this is a simple button hold.

what the fck is the purpose then :skull:

To make room for other rites if you don’t want them

but

you cant equip other rites onto another spirit weapon…?

Any rite with spirit in its name can be put onto other spirit weapons

There are two types of rites, unique and regular.
unique ones are ones such as Astrapikis and Nichtaplia, those can only be put on their respective spirit weapon.
regular rites such as spirit blast, hound, and rain can be put on any spirit weapon however.
Its like how you cant put Rising Tide on anything but SSword, but you can put tiger rush and flying phoenix on other weapons.

oohhh ic ic, thank u

pretty much:

its solely because you might not want to use those unique skills; even if they cant be put on another weapon, you still need to be able to mix your weapons skils/rites around.

who the fuck is Ambanes

He’s at Sailor’s Lodge

and what the fuck is up with him

I just bought vanishing fist but it has no skills have I been scammed :cold_sweat:
