Adam Davidson: Yeah, this item seems to have created a lot of buzz. We’re pleased that the players are so excited for it. To give a basic idea, there is just one of these per server, and any player has a chance to receive the weapon from any monster. Once you pick it up, the weapon is automatically equipped and the player cannot un-equip it. Once the player is killed, there is a chance that it will drop, and the same rules will then apply to the recipient.

There’s no need to worry as well, about someone “camping” the weapon and logging off indefinitely, then removing the weapon from the game until they see fit. There’s a timer on the Zariche that continues even when the player is logged off. Once that timer expires, the sword goes poof and is put back into circulation.

As far as other weapons go, you’ll just need to wait and see!
