Message me with feedback on this discussion post format, I am unaffiliated with the mod team
I've heard arguments on both sides. It seems that Tizona would be better overall but I've heard people say it's not worth making with Naegling existing with the tp+ sword offhand.
There's more pics in the ArtStation post. Hope you like it! β₯

{EDIT}-- Sorry to post this in multiple subs, but places like r/swords seem pretty dead, so I'm just trying to increase my chances of getting a reply!
Anyway, this is kind of random, but I'm working on the lore for my buddy's game and I could use the help of any sword enthusiasts/medieval weapons experts who happen to be lurking lol.
So this is Tizona and it supposedly belonged to the legendary El Cid. Pretty cool looking right?
I'd like to include it as a powerful weapon in the game, but first I wanted to find out exactly what kind of sword it is. For the record, I'm going by the design of the museum piece-- I don't mind that it probably isn't the authentic sword... I just want to know what kind of weapon that is in the pictures.
Wikipedia says it's 15th century (El Cid was from the 11th, but again- probably not really his sword) with a total length of about 37 inches or 93 cm. I've been looking at all different kinds of sword profiles, but it doesn't seem to match one style in particular... At that size, I'm guessing it's at least a hand-and-a-half sword, but I was hoping to be a little more specific than that, given the whole lore-building thing...
So, can you tell me what I'm looking at? Any info, even if it's a shot in the dark, would be cool and helpful. After all, it doesn't exactly need to be historically accurate- I just want it to be interesting in-game. Cheers!
I recently upgraded a few of my peripherals so I was looking at selling these as a bundle for a cheap price.
I have the box and accessories the mice and keyboard, mouse pad does not have a box (unless I can find it)
Keyboard has blue switches.
I am asking $60 shipped for the lot.

Read that these weapons ilvl 119 version are the best weaps for BLU. AS one that hasn't even started these trials. Is it doable these days? Or would i take way too long? Any shortcuts?
Hey reddit, just recently AG my Tizona. Still trying to rearrange my gears to fit in the Tizona. I previously main hand Sequence and off hand Colada (dex+3, acc+15, DA+3) and it has been working really well. Now I've moved Sequence to off hand with the same set of gear sets but I'm not building TP and as fast and multi attack as often as before. Any good advise out there please?
Also, do you guys swap to a less DA/TA/QA gear set after AM3 since AM3 gives your occasional attack twice already. If not, would it be wise to AM2 for the increase in attack instead of AM3?

what is the best way?
i was eyeballing L99 NI floor 100- that looks like its a 100% drop rate for a linen pouch. how hard is it to solo? is it even able to be soloed? (i'm a blu)
or should i be runing L99 salvage, or should i be running L75 salvage?
i cant tell ;_;

i think 96-20 is the most net yeild on tokens? i can comfortably solo 96-10, and i think with a partner or two i could get 25 floors cleared out per run for about an 8k token net..... is this the fastest way?
I'm seeing people with both AG Tizona and Almace but some are putting the Tizona on the main hand and Almace on the off hand. As base dmg on Almace is higher shouldn't you equip it on the main hand instead of Tizona?
