Not sure why everyone is so down on soldiers swords, yeah, a b12 is better, but fuck, It's still good, not everyone wants to spend 12 steel on an ornament, I'll never be J-coles, or tyler But I have fun and enjoy the game and that is all that matters.
But back to the soldiers sword, let's assume q110 with 280 str
![Trollface ¦]](./images/smilies/troll.gif)
Correct me if wrong, but the damage formula is Base damage* sqrt(sqrt(Quality*Strength)/10)
110x280=30800/10=3080 sqrt=55.49 sqrt=7.449
2979 with sword
3724 with axe
Without accounting for martial/peaceful these are the numbers I arrived at.
At the same qualities I'd only be getting an extra 745 damage which is appreciable but The question is, is 745 damage worth spending ten extra bars of steel for a character that I'm completely satisfied with because it can freely walk from one corner of the map to another without fear of bears or boar? I need only fear trolls and other players, and there is no way around that anyways.
I've never been the best, but I do fairly well with what I do have, and Much more importantly, I have fun, And I'd rather have a trav sack with more water being held to run away with than an extra 745 damage that I won't even be able to deliver against an opponent with real skill and real UA weight. So feel free to laugh it up, I have fun my way, you have fun your way, Sandbox! : D
