Holy armament
Description:
A holy armament is a piece of equipment that has been prepared for use against the undead by clerics and paladins.
- When used by members of those professions, it provides the benefits of bless, removing the normal penalties for physically attacking undead targets with it.
- Holy armaments do not receive any other benefits of blessing.
Identification:
Holy armaments can be identified through ASSESS by a cleric or paladin.
Certain materials will produce holy armaments when used to make weapons, shields, armor, or armor accessories.
- Eonake, white ora, white alloy, and faewood are materials with the inherent property.
- Occasionally, holy armaments besides the materials listed can be found in the treasure system.
- Items can sometimes be made into holy armaments through paid services.
Spell Interactions:
The Paladin spell Consecrate (1604) receives a 25% increase in number of attacks on holy armaments, while Holy Weapon (1625) will make the paladin's chosen weapon a holy armament.
History
Holy Armament was historically known as Sanctified, but this was changed with the introduction of Sanctify (330).
- Sanctifying items will not make them holy armaments for the purpose of abilities, and holy armaments do not provide any of the benefits of sanctification.
- However, many of the materials that produce holy armaments also provide a bonus to sanctification.
