So I was a tad surprised the other day when I felt confident enough to charm the Undead Foreman in Overthere and do the turnin for the Woker Sledgemallet to find that I was a lot slower running away from the outpost now that I had an unexpected 80 wt item. Looking at item history on lucy, looks like the weight was increased from 3.2 to 25.5 in 2011, and then increased again to 80 in 2014. Seems an odd thing to "nerf" this item so late in the live game when WR bags are a lot more common. Wonder what the reasoning was behind this. Guess I'll be saving up for a tinkerer's bag earlier than I thought I'd need to.
It definitely does not seem right, but the question has come up before: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq...-sledgemallet-80-lbs-now.231256/#post-3409312
It's a glaring example that counteracts the white knight defense that Devs don't have time to make small improvements or fixes to 15 year old stuff. Because clearly devs had time to waste by adding a massive amount of weight to this item for no discernible purpose.
