Blessed weapons are weapons that have been enhanced by the will of the Shining One. They always bear a holy wrath brand, and always have slightly better base stats than their non-blessed counterparts.
Contents
Types
Long blades, demon tridents, and demon whips can be blessed.
The blessed demon weapons have their own unique names:
- Demon blade -> Eudemon blade
- Demon trident -> Trishula
- Demon whip -> Sacred scourge
The other long blades just gain the blessed prefix, and can be called blessed blades as a whole.
Obtaining
Blessed blades (as well as scourges and trishulas) are never found as random loot, but can be acquired in two ways:
The Shining One
At 6*, The Shining One grants the ability to bless a weapon at an altar, changing its base type to its blessed counterpart (if possible), replacing its brand to holy wrath, and enchanting it as if you read a scroll of enchant weapon III. This ability may be used on a weapon with no blessed counterpart, but there's no extra compensation.
Holy Monster Drops
You can also find blessed blades by killing certain holy monsters. Angels have a 25% chance to be generated with a scared scourge, while daevas and Mennas will carry either a eudemon blade, a blessed scimitar, a blessed long sword, or a blessed falchion. No other monster can generate with any type of blessed weapon. Notably, this means trishulas will never naturally appear anywhere in the dungeon: they must be created by blessing a demon trident.
Blessed Blade Stats
Blessed blades are generally superior to the weapons they are created from, though the loss of the original brand may be undesirable in certain situations. The stats of all possible blessed blades are shown in the table below. The final stats of the blessed blade are shown, with the blessing adjustments on the base stats shown in parentheses (if any).
| Long Blade | Damage | Accuracy | Delay | Min Delay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Falchion | 9 (+1) | +2 | 120% (-10%) | 60% |
| Long sword | 11 (+1) | +0 (-1) | 130% (-10%) | 60% (-10%) |
| Scimitar | 13 (+1) | -1 (-1) | 130% (-10%) | 60% (-10%) |
| Demon blade (Eudemon blade) | 14 (+1) | -2 (-1) | 120% (-10%) | 60% |
| Bastard sword | 16 (+1) | -2 (-1) | 140% (-10%) | 70% |
| Great sword | 17 (+1) | -4 (-1) | 150% (-10%) | 70% |
| Claymore | 20 (+1) | -5 (-1) | 180% (-10%) | 70% |
Two of these weapons in particular stand out:
- A blesssed scimitar has the same stats as a demon blade; while upgrading a demon blade into a eudemon blade is obviously better, a blessed scimitar dropped by a daeva or Mennas is a very nice find for a non-TSO worshiper who wishes to tackle the extended endgame.
- A blessed claymore has the highest base damage of any weapon wieldable by normal sized races. It does as much damage as a giant club, not to mention the holy wrath brand. Unfortunately, it will never be found randomly, as no holy monster will drop one. It is a very worthwhile thing to make for a shields-free TSO worshiper, however.
Destroying Blessed Weapon
You can convert any blessed blade (or TSO-blessed demonic weapon) back into its non-blessed counterpart by having Kikubaaqudgha or Lugonu "bless" it at their altars. This is rarely, if ever, a good trade.
When to Make a Blessed Weapon
Normally, if playing TSO, it's best to stick with your current melee type even if there's no blessed variation. For example, an Axes user should not be pressured to switch to a sacred scourge just because no blessed Axes exist. You'll still benefit from holy wrath and not waste XP on a different weapon.
For Maces & Flails and Polearms users, you may want to use a two-handed weapon over a blessed (one-handed) weapon.
History
- In 0.16, blessed blades were removed. TSO can still convert demon weapons into their blessed versions, and can bless any weapon with the holy wrath brand (just not with a unique base type).
