I know, that was a poor effort at trolling on my part. The run down to Nito at low levels is nearly suicidal.Alma Mare said:Yeah, but considering the thread was made by someone who just picked up the game, I thought it was important to make that distintion pretty clear.
Now I want to go and give that sword a run, I actually have upgraded my to +5 and never bothered to give it a fair chance.
The sword has terrible stat scaling, so later in the game it doesn't do as much damage as other weapons, but it is certainly an option for people who make high VIT and END characters. The +5 Lightning Claymore is probably a better option though since you only need 16 STR to wield it vs. the Gravelord Swords 24 STR. The Claymore is also a faster weapon, but the Gravelord sword is infinitely easier to fully upgrade (stupid slab farming).
