Cavalry melee weapons choice

[Terath]

It's better than the house crafted swords because it costs more to make it. House crafting is just another means of crafting something; doesn't mean all house crafted has to be better than normal crafting.

Please do the math. They were always about the same costly to make. The cost of materials were changing over time but differences were small.

Well deserved buff IMO.

Of course, of course... because every buff made by the dev team is buff well deserved, am I right?
Whatever, nothing can surprise me here any more.

Okay then, let's be rude.

The prices may have changed over time, and they may be worth the same now, but before they weren't. Developers can't always keep track of every single item and their crafting cost all of the time, so you should be able to understand why it might be lower/higher than the other swords. Just because you can't remember how much more expensive lumps were doesn't mean that they've "always been the same cost to make". The SH is made out of so much lead it might as well be a sharp cannonball.

And yeah, I'd wager that every buff made by the dev team IS well deserved. Most, if not all of the time, items that have stats changed deserve it - devs don't change the stats of items just for the hell of it, and most of the changes are thrown around to most of the devs for a yes/no on the change. The Swadian Hope didn't used to be worth its price range; now it is. Complain all you want, it's how it is. No point in being butthurt about it.

It's still a well deserved buff, because the sword was way worse than the other swords before the buff, and the same amount better after the buff (50c -> 54c).

In my eyes, the current stats are fine. Don't complain because something you have is worse than something else.

Edit: Oh, and I did the math. Swadian Hope is currently 1.725 million and the Hero's Hope is 1.450 million. Difference of 275k~300k - quite a lot.
