=== Now includes back sheath option as of update 1.1! ==
+ A blade forged with pride;
+Cherry blossoms fall like snow;
+Winter is not here
+Description+
+There is a bit of option right off the bat of the K98, with a set of texture and color options that let it match dark or light getups. Also, for enthusiasts there is choice between a curved or straight blade, making a difference between true katana or straight ninjato. With a quick lesson on blade making, the K98 stays true to oriental design; though re-imagining some of the pieces for a very post-end of the world feel. This is Messer's first mesh build, weighing our little Oni-slaying prodigy in at five prims of land impact. Uncle say that if you aren't using a mesh viewer, you are missing out on one of the more impressive katana weapons in Second Life to date.
+With four enhancements to choose from, ranging from damage, stamina or life steal and the controversial racial theft; you are left with no reason to worry about any other lesser-quality weapons in your arsenal. Aside from the build being perfect and the textures vibrant yet dark; the scripting is still featuring some of the best coding you can find in SL. If you have seen katanas, you have not seen the K98. This weapon is not a second attempt at making something fit the part, it is uniquely placed in the armory. Let's not forget Autogore, Jackie! It isn't something of the past; we still deliver original concept to our releases.
+ This sword creates fear;
+Autumn leaves of red, like blood;
+All drift to the ground.
+CCS Buffs+
--Blood Feast
-Heals you for 1.5% of your max HP
-Adds 1.5% of their max HP LIFE damage (undodgeable)
-Cost: 2 Racials + 5% of max stamina
-Duration: 120 Seconds (2 minutes)
-Cooldown: 30 Seconds (.5 minutes)
-Message: "/me's blade hungers for the blood of their enemies."
-Uses: The best sustain in the game, DPS can deliver a lot of heavy blows with this buff. Aside from that, Tanks are left not having to waste support CDs on Dull Pain. The life drain and damage STACK with Rage/Cruelty; which means this is something that should be go-to for melee users. Casters and healers will find less use for this, seeing as it requires one to be toe to toe to get the best use out of it.
--Vitality Leech
-Heals you for 1.5% of your max STAM
-Destroys 1.5% of their max STAM
-Cost: 2 Racials + 4% of max stamina
-Duration: 120 Seconds (2 minutes)
-Cooldown: 30 Seconds (.5 minutes)
-Message: "makes a thousand tiny cuts, draining their opponents strength will boosting their own."
-Uses: This is a staple buff in melee weapons, DPS need this frequently to keep themselves from losing damage to lack of stamina. Tanks will most likely keep this up to be a utility for their party. Absorbing damage and taking down Stam pools is the best way to utilize a Tank between stuns. However, Casters and Healers need this the most. Keeping their own stamina pools lively during a close-quarters fight is ideal. Closing the gap and tapping someone a few times with this buff between cooldowns is THE way to win.
--Power Drain
-Grants you 1 racial point.
-Destroys 1 enemy racial point and weakens them for 10 seconds. (Available every 30 seconds)
-Cost: 2% of your max stam per proc.
-Duration: Permanent (permanent toggle, disengages on toggle or another buff selection)
-Cooldown: None
-Message: "/me's blade saps their opponent's power away..."
-Uses: If you are an old CCSer, you remember when this buff was added to the mix. This is still the most popular and widely requested buff in API weapons. No matter what the class, being low on racials prevents you from performing, and keeping this on toggle when you have the upper hand adds insult to injury.
--Razor Edge.
-Deals 40 (+ your level) DOT damge. 20% chance to hit
-Additional 3% LIFE damage to Humans and Lycans.
-Cost: 3 Racials and 6% of your stamina.
-Duration: 120 Seconds (2 minutes)
-Cooldown: 60 Seconds (1 minute)
-Message: "/me's blade glints in the light, flashing its razor sharp, silver edge."
-Uses: If it is a Lycan or Human target, this buff should be the go-to over top of the Blood Feast buff. However, if you are a Caster or DPS this buff still might be a good choice, as they lack powerful swings, but Blood Feast still grants a huge boon to damage while offering sustain. If they are Human or Lycan DPS and Tanks should be swapping out to this buff no matter what the situation is; it offers a large amount of noticeable damage that can end fights before they even start with well placed stun cooldowns.
- CCS Health, Stamina and Racial steal
- CCS Damage against Lycans and Humans
- Custom build, textures, animations, scripting and sounds.
- A lifetime of updates for the weapon.
- CCS, Linden, Safezone and BNWCS options.
enhanced inutilisable
Bonjour. Pour le ccs,préférer les coussins de soins que ce katana.Je ne suis jamais arrivé a faire fonctionner l'enhanced. Les raccourcis du clavier une fois activer ne fonctionne pas. Et mes ancienne arme fonctionne mieux. Donc très déçu.
yep.
Really nice and handy in combat. Really. Serious. I like it.
Fan of Katanas
I happened to be a unfortunate victim to this masterpiece, and had to buy it, and if i could i would recommend this fine blade to everyone
Waste of Linden
I came back from a few months vacation, and was told about this ridiculous weapon by a person I rped with, they seen that i was still using the freebie that can with the ccs box.. so i gave it a shot.. and i was not impressed, the animations suck, some of the animations look like the avatars head is about to snap off, the form is horrible, just wish i was able to get a negative star rating, but no.. the lowest i can do is 1 star, and even 1 star is more then this weapon deserves, it felt like it was a rushed weapon, with no time to put into it, everything about it is basic, and the review i read were the person i think her name was Stormy offered the person a half off item.. utterly foolish.. just shows that they are more interested in making lindens any which way then taking the time to make a weapon.. this should be a freebie... not a weapon to pay linden to buy, actually this should not even be a freebie..it should be scrapped and everyone who paid for it, should get there linden back and with interest.. i totally regret buying this.. i will never recommend messer for anything, unless people want crap workmanship items, with crap animations.. i also think messer should change the name from messer to messed up crap
Most versatile weapon I own
I looked at the reviews before purchasing, and found it interesting that people either loved the weapon, or complained based on a small part (or nothing at all!) of the whole. I went in expecting something at least semi-worrisome, and it seems the worries were baseless. The weapon itself is amazingly crafted, and has so many options I don't know what to do with them all. It has, bar none, more "things" I can do to make it unique than any weapon I have. Further, the buffs work exactly as described in the marketplace as well as in the notecard delivered, and really are top marks for a great weapon. And while others have touched on the animations that I too find slightly off, it doesn't really detract from the weapon in my opinion - I use the thing to slice and dice, not to stand around and look pretty. The katana delivers the power I was looking for, and still leaves a hand free for any number of things.
That said, while this weapon may not be perfect for everyone, it is perfectly suited for me - especially when I fight the racial enemies it's targeted for. I'd buy another one, if only I could use it in my other hand. Kudos, Messer, I can't wait to see what's next.
Nice, clean and effective
Got to Say Messer is known for High quality weapons, both in design and function; This new foray into the katana does not dissapoint! there is not much that can be said for this, if you know messer you know they turn out high quality; period. the price is competetive, the weapon is good,I like the options to go either left or right handed. I know alot of people that will add this to their weapons of choice list, I personally like to have several options depending on the situation and race I am facing and this one fits nicely into the rotation. I do look forward to a back slung version in the future. If you are looking for a solid weapon to use against humans or Lycans this should be a top choice. If you are looking for a solid all round weapon to carry due to a limited Linden budget this is also a good slid choice, remember as alyawy when chosing a weapon consider your class in ccs.
