    Hello,

    So I'm going through Firkraag's crib and beat the living hell out of Tazok.

    He drops a weird item (TH sword) that I ID right away. I have no clue from which mod this is (I figure it's between DoS or Quest pack) and all the damn info on the sword I get is that it's an ancient TH sword, too old to get any specs.

    W...T...F. :mad:

    I checked out various forums to see if any of them had the specs but to no avail.

    Help?

    Listing the mods you have installed might help. It sounds like a plot item, perhaps you have Kiven?

    That's about it (I think). So no Kivan. Any closer?

    The only thing I can say about the sword is that it's image is the same as the Warblade sold in the Adventurer's mart, it has a knockback effect and enemies have to make a save vs. Death (for what? Don't know, might just be for the knockback).

    I checked out what I could via SK and it doesn't give really any info. All I can say is it's in the same category (CM2H0X, where X = ID number of the item) as Everhate Vorpal Sword, Executioner's Blade (+4) and THS +4 : Backbiter.

    Yes, it's a regular weapon.

    As I've said, it has a knockback effect and forces enemies into save vs. Death rolls (for what, I have no idea).

    I just don't know what kind of weapon it is (+1, +2, +3, +4, +5, etc.), what it's effects are and etc.

    It most certainly isn't cursed. So that's good to know.

    This is it's description :

    This sword is so old that no information is available. Even identity spells fail to uncover its history.

    Sounds to me like you have to take it to someone, or it's for one of the modded npc's you've added.

    I don't know which mod adds the sword either, but look up its item code via SK, then search your mod folders sub-item folders for it. All mods have sub-folders which have CRE or item files stored, so if you find the sword's item file in one mod folder or another, you will at least know which mod has added it and this may be better than knowing nothing.

    :kneel:

    As I thought, it was from desecration of souls.

    Checked out the DoS forum, but no info there.

    This is really starting to piss me off.

    And the readme adds that there is only one quest added (not related). Which makes finding out who to find to get the info (or if there is such a person) a big problem...:bang:

    PS I'll go check out the DoS new area to see if I can find anything. If not, then I have NO idea what this is and why it was made this way.

    ---------- Added 0 hours, 23 minutes and 37 seconds later... ----------

    Ok, so after a little research, I dug up an old spoilers thread NOT in the desecration of souls forum and found the info.

    Ancient sword : 1d12+3, knockback

    Seems like there's another quest in the mod that wasn't in the readme.

    Anyways, thanks for the help.
