Has "crumbling" changed to "Unusable"?

I think... crumbling becomes unusable just before it actually disappears.

Oh. I never noticed that before. Thank you. I've seen quite a few crumbling items, but never an unusable one until today.

How about a broom? I've yet to find a use for one. :lol:

It's a weapon, isn't it?

Barely better than a bare fist. A fishing spear is easier to make (in terms of time and resources - same tools), deals more damage, is lighter and is easier to repair. It also happens to have a use other than hitting stuff. A broom doesn't. That is why the broom is probably the most commonly cited useless item in Cantr.

It used to not have any weapon value either. Now it's a novel way to slowly kill captive travelers in the mountains, chase away the raccoons from your town, and other things like that which could use a bit of personality in the process.

Back on topic, I like to keep my stuff repaired and not in a state of unusability.

Indeed I'd like to live in a town where letting your tools/weapons become crumbling would result in a death sentence! :twisted:

Has anyone played ADOM? In it there is a 'potion of uselessness' and you can get a <spoiler> if you find a use for it. Perhaps that's like the broom in Cantr.

I assume a <spoiler> is worth getting then?

Ooo..now that you mentioned the broom..I wonder how much trouble it would be if I whacked someone with it... :twisted:

Anyway..I'm tempted to experiment with the unuable thing, can you still repair it once it gets to that stage or does it go poof in the next day?

:o Has no one ever swept out their cottage? You're all living in filthy squallor!

(just don't look at my real house :oops: )

I love that we have a broom in game, even if it has no function. It makes it possible for Cantrians to know what a broom is. I wish we had a lot more unusable items, just so we could enhance our rp.
