Enchant Value Fixes? Ebony Scim = best weapon?
Posted: 15 Sep 2023, 19:29
So I found out that OpenMW nerfed many enchant values of items. For example Ebony Staff went from 90 to 9.
Also I found other items on the wiki, which tell the 10x value of what I now have in my OpenMW. This makes me believe that probably this high value was a bug by the developers and OpenMW sets it back to the (probably) desired value, as now these values would fit in the regular row of "Better-Material=Better-Enchantvalue".
For example take a look at Bonemold Longbow. The original value is 40. But it's worse material (steel) is 3.5 while its better material (daedric) is 10.5.
So if the bow would be 4 instead of 40, it would perfectly match between 3.5 and 10. So probably a developer bug that OpenMW now fixed.
On the other hand I can read many "Best Weapon in Morrowind" lists, with weapons like Skullcrusher and Goldbrand etc. ... but then only some say that you can create a MUCH MUCH better weapon by using Ebony Staff. It has an Enchant Value of 90 so you can make
- soul trap 1 second
- weakness to magicka 100 % for 1 second
- absorb health 100 pt for 1 second
And instant kill every normal enemy.
I got the staff and now found out that it was also nerfed. Yes 90 seems a little ridiculous and if you follow the other weapons:
Ebony Short Sword = 8
Ebony Long Sword = 12
Then it is probably just ANOTHER bug with Ebony Staff = 90 as it makes more sense to be
Ebony Staff = 9
So I was a little sad, because it means I cannot make a (nearly guaranteed) one-hit weapon and would just stick with the regular weapons instead.
But now I found out that Ebony Scimitar STILL has the 90 Enchant Value and not (what would fit with all other Ebony Weapons) a value of 9.
So I went to the game, Player->additem "Ebony Scimitar" 1 and then just did the same enchantment as listed above. Now I have a weapon that will still kill everybody with 1 hit.
Is this intended or a bug that was overseen?
I actually like it!
But I reloaded and did not cheat it, will only create it once I am done with main quest and play Tribunal where I can get it legitimately.
THX for any insights and do you know other funny enchantments which I can do on the Ebony Scimitar?
