Unique unenchanted gear

Post by MidbossVyers »

Apart from Dark Seducer armor, Golden Saint armor, and the Sword of Jyggalag, are there any other unique (in terms of appearance) but unenchanted pieces of gear?

The Blackwater Cuirass comes to mind. Looks like Leather Armor, but has a brand burned into it as well as having the armor rating of chainmail.
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

Honorblade is not enchanted, but it has the special property of harming ghosts.

Isn't that a quest item and also just a slightly better ebony longsword, in terms of appearance?

It is a quest item, but the OP didn't place a restriction. It is ebony +1 (23 damage) that will also kill ghosts, and is available at level 1. It is much easier to get than Umbra, and can be repaired w/ novice armorer skill.

But appearance-wise, it's still an ebony long sword, right? Like how Archmage Robes share the same appearance as Heretic Robes.

Well, if it's different ("slightly better") in appearance than a regular ebony longsword, and if there are no other longswords that look exactly like it, then I vote that it's "unique." Otherwise there should probably be some clear-cut objective criteria given for judging when something is "unique" in appearance versus "slightly different than normal." How different does it need to be to be different?

Doesn't the Honorblade look exactly like an ebony long sword? If not, what's different about it?
