Version 0.29: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
A glaive commissioned several years ago by a wealthy queen fearful for the safety of her vast treasury. No foe, the smith promised, could defeat a guard wielding such a weapon!

It was stolen a few months later, along with the rest of the queen's treasury; the guard, it transpired, had been caught napping. Still, it would serve more than adequately in hands of a waking user.

Desirability

The glaive of the Guard[1] has a decent enchantment level and comes with two fairly useful brands. Even though electrocution is normally better on small, fast weapons, this item alone can compete with a bardiche of flaming or freezing. The spectral brand does works well with heavier weapons, but the spectral weapon itself does not get electrocution.

History

  • In 0.29, the enchantment was changed from +8 to +5.
  • Prior to 0.26, the glaive of the Guard did not have the spectral brand, but provided see invisible and an evocable rage.
  • Prior to 0.15, the glaive of the Guard had a +5, +8 enchantment level.
