a question about quick weapon slot

Sensei · Post by **Sensei** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 12:51 am

Hi

I was wondering if it was possible to get all my quick weapon slots back after dualing - I was a fighter and then dual to a mage - and lost 2 quick weapon slots (but got 3 quick spell slots) - but I would prefer to have more weapons - since when i use spells i prefer to use my spell book. Is there any way to get back my 4 weapons slots (or even 3) and reduce the number of quick spell slots?

Any info would be great - thanks

A mage only has 2 weapon slots, so 2 quickslots would be enough. I doubt the engine is capable of swapping weapons between the weapon slots and the inventory even if you can have more quick-weapon slots on the quick-toolbar. Too many things to consider inclusive to two-handedness, ranged and off-hand use. You never have off-hand quick anyway.

No, it is rather unfortunate that you will never see those nice extra slots even after you regain your fighter abilities, you are now a mage and will have to live with the 2 slots.

There might be mods or other tweaks that would allow you to regain/create those slots, but I'm not aware of these.

No. The ability to equip 4 weapons are just for warriors. Since you can use the abilities of all of your equipped weapons, it's a huge advantage to have 4 weapon slots over 2. An advantage only warriors have.

Which is pretty moot since:
- Passive abilities are only with the currently "wielded" weapon; meaning one (or two if dual wielding) will be active at any one time (bugs might change this of course; but I believe that if it works merely by being slotted, it's a bug).
- Active abilities are easily usable by swapping the weapon from the inventory (a might more of a nuisance mayhap, but not an issue at all to me) then activating them. No in-game cost what-so-ever.
