Black bladed sword

Are you sure this doesn't just refer to the group of weapons that includes blackened ninjato, blackened katana, etc? --Chat 17:11, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm sure it isn't. I've seen it on Mancow and an old log of Zexium's shows it on the rangers in the terrains. Unfortunately, I've not been able to find one on a ranger. I have a feeling one will eventually show up in rotation in the DJB docks warehouse that many other hard to find weapons have showed up in. --Baldarov 20:40, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Mancow confirmed to me that he has one, but said the source he got it from doesn't carry them any more, without going into details about the source. So good luck! --Gunde 21:18, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Kora

For the kora I have exactly one match from 2010 in my logs:

Sayyid Peckering The Wicked thrusts at Old Man Mancow with his Klatchian steel kora but he parries the blow with his black steel fencing blade.

On Elanor's daggers and swords pages it says that Sot-phin crafts the sacred jambiya (daggers) and kora (swords) of the Hashishim and that the Hashishim are forbidden to sell the sacred jambiyas and kora to non members.

kora added and judged -peckering

Screwdrivers

The philips head screwdriver and screwdriver aren't weapons. I just checked this recently when I did the scissors up. Dunno about the standard screwdriver. Should these be removed from the list? Or do pages need to be done for them? I personally feel that they don't need a page if they're not weapons and of limited use in the mud. --Baldarov 01:26, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Sure if they're confirmed as not being weapons they should be removed from the list. Not sure if we should do a confirmed not weapons list.
Basically I just added a bunch of what used to be weapons from Airk's site in case they still are.
Musical instruments that are not weapons might maybe be worth adding but they could be added directly to a table listing them, probably simpler.

Deadly ninja throwing cat

This does not seem possible to obtain. Even trying repeatedly stealing it/killing didn't work.

This ninja's face may be covered, but her tight costume leaves little doubt as to her gender.  Ninja women, or 'kunoichis', are surprisingly common in the Agatean Empire.  They spend a lot of time undercover, exploiting the Agatean male's refusal to believe a woman can harbour aggression right up until she gets him with the razor-edged fan, the spiked bouquet or the deadly throwing cat.
She is in good shape.
She is standing.
Holding : a katana (left hand and right hand).
Wearing : a pair of tabi, a pair of tight black ninja trousers, a tight black ninja jacket, a black ninja mask and a black cotton belt.
Carrying: a deadly ninja throwing cat.
This is a hideously pop-eyed, flat-faced, permanently angry-looking furball. It looks as if someone tried to push its nose through the back of its skull. No wonder it's angry.
It is in good shape.
It is standing.
steal cat from female ninja
The deadly ninja throwing cat scratches you viciously!
Unable to move the deadly ninja throwing cat into your inventory.
You try to steal the deadly ninja throwing cat from the female ninja but she notices you and manages to protect her possessions.
You temporarily stop trying to be inconspicuous.
The female ninja moves aggressively towards you!
The female ninja slices at you with her katana but your floating small cauldron swoops in and absorbs all of the blow.
The female ninja hurls the deadly ninja throwing cat at you, and it flies through the air in a fit of feline rage!

Then I left the room and the cat was nowhere to be seen after that.

When killing the female ninja it just wasn't anywhere. Even just fighting the other ninja seems to make it disappear.

This is very disappointing. --Frazyl 01:07, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Trying to snatch it or take it from the ground also fails miserably.

get cat
The deadly ninja throwing cat scratches you viciously!
You fail to hold onto the deadly ninja throwing cat.
You cannot get the deadly ninja throwing cat.

I was too slow to vine the cat, the female ninja picked it up and died and it was gone. But I don't think it would have worked even with the female ninja dead. --Frazyl 02:29, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
