BlockHead_17 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 falx have 4x mine speed on wood, and 3x on leaves but you can't break block with falx at all. unfinished feature or leftover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 My guess is reusing code blocks, and change just the parts that need to be changed. That's probably one of the bronze axes that had roughly the animation speed they were looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Streetwind Posted February 19 Solution Report Share Posted February 19 Nope. Swords used to be a tool like any other before they got a rework into having a specific swing animation. You used to be able to spam-hit enemies. ...which was less ideal than you might think, because you wasted durability on i-framed enemies, and the sound it produced distinctly felt like you were gently but insistently slapping their fleshy little buttocks. Slapslapslapslapslap. So I think you can definitely file this under legacy leftovers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Huh. I thought falx was new as of a couple versions ago. Didn't it replace the longblade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwind Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 It is the longblade, for all intents and purposes, just with a new model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 So not a reskinned axe, a reskinned sword? I never did think to check how good it is at harvesting branchy leaves. Seemed to me it was taking up durability way too fast to be worth the copper. I take it that it still does that? Is it that much better than a stone (obsidian) axe?

ArgentLuna Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Its for harvesting drifters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 (edited) I wasn't all that impressed by its drifter-slaying. I tend to stick with flint or obsidian spears the entire game, and have an axe in case I absolutely have to melee. But drifters hit so hard I'd rather just run away, even if I probably won't get back before I lose a half-dozen flint spears to despawn. [EDIT] Oh, or do you mean harvesting flax from them instead of melee? The leaf-cutting speed is used as drifter-dissection speed? That could be useful. If you could shave 20-30% off loot time during a storm, that would make quite a difference. [/EDIT] Edited February 19 by Thorfinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArgentLuna Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 (edited) Killing, its not amazing but it works till i can get a Shortsword going. Spears get to be a tedious bore. Edited February 20 by ArgentLuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Right, but that's true of killing them at all. Too little reward for too much effort. The double-headed might be worth killing, but you don't dare get within reach of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Recently slew drifters in a night of high rift activity. Went 15 straight corpses with not a thing! I garnered a whole whopping 1 flax in the next 5 drifters. 5% drop rate for ANY item is a bit ridiculous. But I think I was paying back karma to RNGods as I got my first temporal gear of the world on the 10 drifter corpse in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
