Arcane Ancient Hammer of Magnanite

[survive]

Sorry if this is talked about elsewhere, I couldn't find a definitive answer here, in the wiki, or using google-fu.... so tell me community,

Is the Arcane Ancient Hammer of Magnanite (1-handed) a Knight lvl 55 only weapon, or is it a warrior lvl 55 requirement? (as far as in it's current incarnation of play).

Thanks for all help and answers.

Looks like Knight

Problem is... this one from the same Wiki

http://regnum.wikia.com/wiki/Ancient_Hammer

says that the lvl 45 is for warrior not knight, so did they change it TO warrior, because the only photo I have found of the Arcane Ancient Hammer of Magnanite is in portuguese or something, and has both lvl 45 and 55 hammers listed as the same...

1) were they both knight, and now both are warrior?
2) was the lvl 45 knight, that was changed to warrior?
3) was the lvl 45 warrior, and has been changed to knight?

Boils down to, $20mil gold and 7500 mags is a bit much to start with, but especially to "try it to find out"... and the time to invest just to get to the "try it and find out" stage...

if any one has the lvl 55 one-handed mag hammer... a photo in english would be great.... thank you.

Thanks for the photo, that is the one i was referring to... soooooooo is that knight or warrior? and when was it taken? before or after this supposed change to warrior for the lvl 45?

to be honest, if NGD (frost or Adr) can weigh in here, it would be great, that way i can have an official answer from the team.

Sorry to be a bother, but just got back after 2 years away from RO, and a few long awaited things have changed, and there seems to be a absence of old school vets in Alsius/Haven these days, especially with gear/game mechanics/skill/formulas type knowledge.....

so again.. thank you in advanced for the help...

Caballero means Knight in Spanish

I've said it b4 & will say it again. It seemingly was an unstated intention from early on to 'balance' the 'op-ness' of Mindsquasher by completely denying barbarians the use of almost all endgame 1-handed blunt weapons when lvl cap was raised to 60 (i.e. to somehow 'compensate' these matters by nerf-capping 2-weapon-combo blunt barb's damage/dps potentials; bad idea to begin with, imho). Here we are years later: MS cd has been nerfed hard, oh, but barbs still cannot use these weapons? Uh, are knights right arms just so much bigger & stronger than any barb's? Do the grips somehow mysteriously fit a knight's hand only? FFS! Ok, I do get how a knight must use one-handers only; they use shields. That makes perfect sense. However, what plausible ingame justification is there now (or was there ever, really) for having such an nonsensical 1-handed-weapon-use-ban for the melee class that rightly should be able to wield any & all of every kind? Hmmmm? Just sayin'...

All 1 handed mag weapons are knight specific.... and with good reason.

Really? IDTS. Says who? ALL endgame blunt (& only BLUNT) one-handed weapons are classed knight-specific, except crappy pierce wm-hammer. So, let's all hear that "good reason", shall we? Elaborate p & ty, so we can all judge for ourselves....

Are you asking me if all 1 handed mag weapons are knight specific? They all are, both new and old.

As for why 1 handed mag weapons are knight specific; the DPS is simply too high for barbs to be able to use, imagine a pimped out barb with a new mag spear or sword.

As for why barbs don't have access to most endgame blunt weapons; this is just my opinion, but I feel MS is just too overpowered for barbs to be able to use in its current state. I'd be all for barbs having elite knight hammers/maces once MS gets moved to a different tree/adjusted/removed entirely. (coming from someone who mains barb)
