I was curious about just how bad my new Kharim blade compares in damage and
went on a compare spree. Turns out even a random iron 2h sword from Arelium
weaponsmith is better, I simply couldn't find a 2h sword that was worse. Only
Anyweapon in a weightless form (fire, air) was able to equal my blade in
damage not done. If I removed souls from the blade it could probably be used
as a healing item.

And then, this happened to drop from a random mob in Kurya's.

a shard of an old weapon (identified)
When joined with chaos, the weapon quality will be at least average.
When joined with chaos, the weapon sharpness will be at least good.
When joined with chaos, the lethality factor will be at least divine.

So two things are now known for certain. First, never, ever make a Kharim
blade out of fire. And second, BatMUD gamedriver is a troll.
