Duckponding...

Just lost my gleaming holy ls... in a stream that comes up to my ankles. Anyone besides me think that's a bit unrealistic? I mean, it's under about 2 inches of water but I can't reach it...

How about making that swimming skill useful, and we can dive into water to try and retrieve duckponded weapons? If it's realy deep (like on the ocean or something) you shouldn't be able to succeed... but if it's a shallow pond or stream it should be easy to get your sword back.

Did you also need a boat to go onto that water? Seems you have hydrophobia my friend..

Eww.. yeah, if you're walking on a small stream without a boat or anything like levitate/fly and you lose a wep, then I think thats kinda cheesy.

If the water is shallow enough to stand in (tiny stream), you should be able to get the wep.

It rusted very quick and the fragments sunk ;)

I agree, if you don't need water eq for a room, you shouldn't lose your weapon. Maybe have to search to find it if there's some water/muck? That would be a good compromise, methinks.

this would be a good way to make the swimming skill actually do something :P

Thinking back on this, it's really quite ironic. Sarvis's gleaming holy was given to him by me after I decided not to duckpond it upon replacing it, something I had planned to do with my gleaming holy back on Sojourn 2 cause I never was able to get a better weapon was still stuck with one in the low 40's and was sick of it. I contemplated doing that with my gleaming holy this time around, but practicality won out and I instead gave it (well, one. I still have one that I used to dual on storage just in case I fumble my current weapon and the mud crashes) to Sarvis. Looks like I found an indirect way to duckpond it

Heh... well based on that logic I think everyone should start giving me weapons they don't need anymore!
