Hey don't forget the Brazen Brass Kilij! It's what I currently have in my
offhand. It's 10/35 for a ratio of 3.5. It's only problem is a weight of a
staggering 8.5. When I put this with my 6.5 pound Ugly Stick (tm Rokenn
Enterprises) I'm wielding 15 pounds of weapons. My yellow bar drops pretty
quickly.
I suppose I should be trying to get a Runed Falchion.
