Spades (shovels) for swords
 

In Moorbridge, the blacksmith says he can make a sword from a spade..
I gave him one and I got a normal broadsword.
Now he asks for a "good spade" in exchange for a good crafted sword.
Anybody knows if and where we can get a "good spade"?
Perhaps from the chicken seller in town? I hope we can find a "good spade" in the marshes because after leaving Moorbridge is impossible to go back to the blacksmith.

Hm, I've never found a "better" shovel. But you can buy back the shovel you gave him and give it to him again, heh. I also would like to know if there is a better shovel.

I tried that but it doesn't work, it only turns one shovel into a sword, then he wants a special shovel (would have been game-breaking, as you can buy the shovel for like 7 silver and sell the sword for 2 gold)

I have something vague in my memory of bringing a shovel from the main town with the party … But I could be wrong. I never did this, as far as I can remember.

Tonight I'll check if the shovel sold by the "chiken seller" has something different in the item description.
I explored every corner of Moordbridge but found nothing similar to a "elite spade".
I tried also to use weapon balm and flintstone (is this the name?) on another spade but it did nothing.
Perhaps this is a joke of the programmers.

Have you already found the spade upgrade in the Alarus Extension?

What are you talking about?
Alarus Extension?

By the way, the saying "spades for swords" is a kind of parody of one of the main mottos of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany): "Swords to Ploughs".

The developers are located in Berlin. I think in the eastern part of Berlin, which then belonged to the GDR.

Lol. A little "Thief" humor.

Tchia one more bad localization work! :biggrin:
