Other characters who happen to use [[polearms]] can benefit from it in the early- and mid-game; even though glaives aren't the most impressive weapons, and you'll eventually be better off with a well-branded [[bardiche]] or [[demon trident]], it's got significant enchantment bonuses and shouldn't be skipped over if you haven't gotten a proper end-game weapon yet.

Desirability

The glaive of Prune[1] is a straightforward enough artefact: a +12 vorpal glaive. The "prune curse"[2] on this weapon has no actual in-game effect, other than making Zin hate it. Most characters who happen to use two-handed polearms will find the glaive of Prune to be perfectly sufficient for winning the game. A fully enchanted, branded bardiche might outperform this weapon in situations where its brand can take full effect, but will require considerably more skill to use effectively.

History

Prior to 0.15, the glaive of Prune had a +4,+12 enchantment.
