Items morale

[chriscampo99]

So I got the Dragon Slayer Sword which is great, but you have to suppress the gremlins inside it so it doesn't effect your attack morale (otherwise it SEVERELY drops your attack lvl).. I was wondering if anyone knew if you have to keep doing this occasionally or if it is a one time deal?

I don't remember which race made this sword, but the supressing only heightens the morale of the artifact so you can use it's bonuses, it does not prevent from falling again if you will be constsntly fighting against the race that crafted this sword

So, you could unequip the item in those fights against forces that will lower its morale? Or even carry around two weapons?

Or does the morale get lowered even if you're just carrying it, not wielding it?

You can unequip the item so its morale won't suffer, though, it will be hard to keep it in mind every time=)
No, you cannot carry dual weapons

Huh? Why not? If I can un-equip the item to prevent its morale from suffering when I fight certain monsters, then why can't I carry a secondary weapon in my inventory to equip when I do that?

i think he just means you can't have two equipped at the same time.. you can carry as many as you like in your inventory and equip/unequip them whenever you please.

the warrior can equip 2 weapons though =)

No, you can have only one weapon in hand at a time, but you still can easily store other weapons in your inventory

So, I'm getting confused by the responses here. The original question was: If you have an artifact that loses morale when fighting particular foes, is it effective and logical to carry a second weapon that you can switch to before fighting those foes? Is anyone saying that won't work?

I guess it could be a problem if your primary weapon adds leadership, and you switch to a weapon that reduces your leadership so you can't control your forces. Anything else?

the dragon slayer sword loses morale when NOT fighting dragons.. when you fight against them, the item morale shoots through the roof! otherwise i think you have to suppress the gremlins every so often to keep the item's morale at 50/50
