    Missing swords

    Hi all, as announced, this is the list of swords I am still waiting for - and I hope, so are you!

    - Dareios: legendary weapon
    - Maria Thorpe: legendary weapon
    - Murat: a T5 sword for tank characters (I wish it will be a scimitar or falchion)
    - Rodrigo (+Tereysa, Kenway and Thatch): it's so pity that the Pirate Saber is only available as 2 and 3*.
    - Rosa: Silent Rapier
    All of the most galant spanish and italian characters, including Mario and Machiavelli, should have access to a rapier.
    - Yusuf: Hasty Falchion or Scimitar
    Believe me, there must have been a reason why ottomanic people had a preference for unsymmetric blades.

    So that's the swordsmen and - women we have. Aya will be certainly not the last who follows. Please make sure that all old and new heroes will have access to at least a common 5* weapon.
    Thank y v m,
    iws

    Disagree on number 4. The healers hammer should definitely be a club as that is the "traditional" weapon for militant clergy members like Aleksie. It would be a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odo_of_Bayeux whose use of the club was speculated to have because weapons that would shed blood were prohibited to the clergy.

    4. Hammer/Healing (Aleksei)
    Pernarch or morning star, please, no toolish hammer!
    Thanks for your feedback. You're right, I have read something similar about Adhemar de Le Puys during the first crussade. As far as I know, clergy members used clubs for they were prohibited to use blades, including swords, spears and axes. A bishop's club was usually no simple branch, but a grandly ornated weapon. However, this was in North France and England during the 11th century. No idea if the Byzantic Rite in 15th century - and even the Ottomanic Brotherhood - held on those traditions.
    The club is indeed Aleksei's standard weapon, but the version in this game is as spiky as the morning star. That's because they are both provided as peasent weapons. The pernarch is a more noble version, maybe too noble, if Aleksei is just a village priest. But finally all those three are still better than a forgehammer as the ones for Hamid, Faris and Bartolomé.

    Thanks for your reply, it's an interesting thing to discuss about. I'd like to learn more about your favorite weapons for any character.

    I'll give this an update, for I noticed the majority of you would rather first get all charakters equipped with complete 5* gear before more personal items are added.
    It seems long monologues are no good to bring up discussions, so I'll keep it short. Here's the list of common 5* items still needed:
    - assassination/sword (Dareios)
    - support/bastard sword (Maria Thorpe)*
    - AoE/sword (Rodrigo)
    - tank/sword (Murat)
    - all-class/rapier (Rosa, Machiavelli, Mario)*
    - all-class/falchion or scimitar (Yusuf)*
    - all-class/pirate saber (Kenway, Thatch, Rodrigo, Tereysa)*
    - stealth/short blade (Luis)
    - support/short blade (Al Mualim)
    - navigation/hammer (Alonso)
    - healing/hammer (Aleksei)
    - assassination/polearm (Sayyid)
    - DpS/polearm (Kensa)
    - stealth/hidden blades (Máximo)
    - assassination/heavy armour (Ishak)
    - stealth/medium armour (Máximo)
    - AoE/light armour (Rodrigo)

    Same matter as for DBC. It is not useful to open too many threads to the same topic. As far as I can remember, this one has been our general one about T5 gear since T5 items were introduced, at all. So I think we should keep it up, as some of the older replies (surely, I have posted many of them myself!) are still important in that context.
    Thanks for your support,

    5* Hidden Blades

    New character, old issue! It's the same issue with Malik as I have mentioned in terms of Máximo before. Does it make sence to restrict the Ruthless Blades to assassin class heroes?
    After all, all charakters with hidden blades have the assassination skill and would have use of the bonuses. So how about making Ruthless Blades (and many other items) all-class weapons?

    Nice work on that list! How about removing the T5 class specific limitations until Legendary gear is released for the toon in question?
    For example, as you pointed out, let Malik use the Ruthless Blades, Luis and Mualim the T5 dagger, etc.

    Also, as I've requested a few times, how about a gear re-forge room so that we can adjust our gear stats to fit the equipped assassin?

    Thanks iws!

    My thanks, Ima! This is what I've been taking my mouth fuzzy about. (Do you say so in english?)
    It is not only that some classes still have no weapons & armors available, this system is definitely too one-sided. On the other hand, many charakters, like Claudia, María, Lupo and Rodrigo, are many-sided, so the weapons you can equip them have usually no bonuses on their side-skills. Even if they reach the aim of one weapon, armor and accessory for each class, you still have no choice.
