Question on player made fist wraps

netswine · 12-18-2004, 04:31 PM

Before the unfortunate downtime, I was about to buy some Tailored Boiled Leather Fistwraps. While checking the stats, I noticed that they say Secondary only. Can I still wear them in the primary slot?

i would assume so im pretty sure i bought them to play with as soon as i hit brawler, but your normal fists are alot better than the crap fist wraps you buy in the starting towns. not sure how the stats of player made fist wraps are

Fist wraps are weapons to be dual wielded. So you must buy and equip two in order to get their full benefit. That being said, yes, you can equip them in your primary slot. Just make sure if you don't buy two you pair it with another dual weild weapon. When you equip one check out your persona screen and then equip the other. You'll see your attack stat take a hit with just one, but when both are equipped the stat jumps back up to normal levels.

The problem was that whenever i checked one of those through the broker, it would state that it was Secondary only, so I was not sure if I wanted to spend on two of them. Since, I have noticed that it is a bug, and as soon as I got my hands on them and examined, they stated Primary and Secondary.

By the way, as of today, they state that they use the Fists skill, and still use Slashing instead of Crushing. Also, if your Slashing skill is low, as I was, you will not hit at all. Total miss-fest. Not even your combat skills will hit untill you skill up.

If you want to get your slashing up just fight grey mobs. You'll skill up quick.

Umm perhaps I'm MMO or common sense inept but....Why the hell are fist wraps Slashing damage. Who screwed that up? I bought that same pair of wraps this weekend. Equipped them and miss miss miss miss "You slahing damage has improved to 50!" miss miss miss. Why would a punching style weapon not covered in spikes like some are be anything but crushing damage.I think its either a bug or some sort of conspiracy!!
