Utensils

Jump to: navigation, search

Utensils are items which can be used as a defensive flying shield with the spell Grammer Scorbic's Household Guard. Most, but not all, floatable utensils can be identified with the command 'locate utensils'. Furthermore, not all items that can be referred to as utensils can be used by the spell.

Floating utensils

The following table contains all utensils known to work with the spell. While it is unclear if length, width and material influence the performance of floating utensils, they are added for completeness.

Utensils cannot be floated while they contain anything. You have to empty them first.

Please add any missing item that can be used with Grammer Scorbic's Household Guard to float and block attacks.

Defensive bonus information

The bonuses suggested are based on a formula derived from information inside QuowEFFStats.xml available from Quow's website. The minimum suggested bonus is the bonus recommended by Quow's plugin.

The resistance to knockdown column shows how much damage the utensil can resist before being knocked off, this is relative to a base item (carving knife). The formula used is the same as EFF: Knockdown resistance = (weight of current utensil/weight of baseline utensil)^(log2 10)
