Already sold my favourite loom (my +3 heavy lance which i had since forever) for mega fucking cheap, cos it's so shit yet still has most upkeep.
Fail balancing team, fail admins, fail cunts.
I traded mine for mighty long spiked club. Just for lulz :D

I agree with buffing them both, but with the only difference of the PD req for the XBOWS aswell.

remember shashka....
went from best to worst to best loom.
collecting heavy lances would be a smart investment no doubt.

I make good on my promises.. Listed the offer for both items in the marketplace. If they sell out.. I will liquidate some looms to keep the campaign going up to 10 loompoints will be used in this generous buyback.
Keep those crossbows and lances off our streets and away from criminals!

They've slightly un-nerfed the heavy lance. It started out being 26p, then was nerfed to 23p and was like that for a couple months, but within the last month or so they buffed it slightly up to 24p damage. When it was 23p (and 26p for a MW Heavy Lance) I sold my heavy lance and +1 mail gauntlets for a +3 Lance. Was the best trade I've ever made (since I love the MW Lance so much) but was a terrible trade in that I lost a loom point for it. Heavy Lances were basically being sold for 2 LP at the time.

you can get a heavy for less then 2lpts if you have time to wait atm. i still like it a lot, just switched back to it after a month of normal lancing (which was nice as well)
some sort of improvement would be nice, as the high price isnt justified imo

long maul is a great weapon and worth a good bunch on the market.

Just been trying out some maps with mw xbow. Actually with mw steel bolts the dmg is not to be underestimated, its 78 pierce damage. With a proper amount of wpf points in xbow the reload time is simply awesome and the damage output is quite nice. I managed to pull off lots of kills with hit and run attacks. Its a bit of a pity that the 2slot nerf crippled the melee capabilities of this build but what the hell, just make a runner out of this if melee is unwanted for xbows.

Xbows are still very capable melee fighters, just pick up a 1h instead of a 2h and you're good. MW xbow, MW Steel Bolts, and a MW 1h sword (like knightly arming sword) and you're in business. Especially now that they have nudge for 1h w/o shield.

^ Plus the 2h Mace is still beast, and the 2h Fighting Axe and Langes Messer are definitely viable as well.

Yeah I knew there was no way I could have sold my Crossbow so I had to spend 490k to Heirloom Exchange it.

I dont have mw 1h, I would prefer xbow/polearm which was possible before. I've tried xbow + 1h but didnt like it so I'll go with the runner build.

Don't underestimate Quarter Staff, Staff, Military Fork.
I dont, I get pwnd by people with those weapons from time to time but I am not very good with those. Switching from 2slot to 1slot weapons is not so easy as one might think.

I was with Bears in the three month long "UNFUCKMYVOULGECUNT!" campaign of 2012... It didn't work. I've given up on that, got rid of my +3 LV long ago :(
----
Yeah, yeah "You can use a 1h with the xbow! It's still okay! :| maybe..."
Answer:
You are wrong.
Why?
Arbalest.
MW Arb + MW Steel Bolts = 100p
That takes up three slots...
So, do you take the less accurate, less powerful (78P) option like a fool! Or do you take the manly pewpew c-rpg death rifle/shotgun?
YOU TAKE THE FUCKING RAIL CANON!
+3 Short Broad Sword +therest = 26 probable kill shots and a bad ass 1h. Although with my ping the 1h is tots pointless but I still have it MW because I'm a wank fairy! I should just use the Nordic Short Sword and save myself 400 gold every upkeep tick :/
----
The fact is that the crossbow is now directly compared to the arb. The only thing it wins on is upkeep... woopdido Basil!
