Possibly the best 1-handed weapon in the game. This weapon is UNUSED. I have completed over 10,000 level 3-5 maps in my time on UOSA, and I have only gotten 7 perfect weapons, so keep that in mind when bidding. These things are VERY rare to come by.

Starting bid: 25k
No buyout
Auction ends Sunday, June 30th at 11:59pm

I would prefer private offers via IRC (same nickname on IRC). If I receive an offer that I like/sell this weapon before the auction ends, I will end the auction and update this post.

its not perfect, because its not Indestructble.

Perfect was always silver +25 of vanq. Back in the old days perfect used to be considered indestructible +25 silver of vanq. But, I remember correctly, after word got out that indestructible items can break, people considered any silver +25 of vanq weapon. In like 1999, there were a few (very few) bless item deeds given out, and people that had them were blessing perfect items, and durability never mattered, obviously this is also due to was it when blessed items can break or after that patch? Regardless the durability factor really didnt matter, cause technically then, there's infinite possibilities for a "perfect" weapon. For example, a indestructible +25 silver katana of vanq AND daemons breath with 20 charges could be considered perfect, but what about an +25 silver katana of thunder with 25 charges? Which would you rather have? I guess I'm just rambling, sorry.

Really? I didn't think that was it. But heck that might have been. I remember trying to buy one but I was a few million short.

ya it was from the clean up britainia ticket system. Item bless was 250,000 tickets.(i think). I remember going around and buying up all magic items from peoples vendors then tossing it all in trash. I sold my Item bless on ebay for $560. Oh back in the good days.........

I played Lake Superior from 1997-2000. Item bless deeds were indeed from Clean Up Britannia, and many of us here on UOSA (including myself) were very disappointed that they weren't available during UOSA's CUB event. I know its a trammel-ish item, but it was ridiculously expensive as far as how many tickets it took to get an item bless deed. On Lake Superior, I saw MAYBE 2 players with a blessed weapon. Back then, it was so early in the game that people used item bless deeds on shitty regular power/vanq weapons, and they were still destructible via in-game durability...so a blessed regular katana of vanq that's still breakable really wasn't worth an insane amount of gold. It was more of a "hey! look at me! I'm rich!" sort of item, like neon hair dye.
