So as you know there are -5 energy mods for various weapons. I was wondering, i have a gothic sword with that -5 energy and wanted to know if there's a way to get rid of it. If it helps the stats are the following:
15-22 (req8)
15% always
-5 energy
lengthens poison duration 33%
+5 armor
i just want to know if there's a way to get rid of that -5 energy mod. Thank you in advance.
? about -5 energy mods

You can't, unless it was dropped from a monster in Elona (which I doubt).

The -5 Energy is actually part of the damage mod. The whole mod is: "+15% damage, -5 Energy" There are other variations such as "+15% Damage while your health is over 50%" and "+15% damage, -10 armor" and many more, so even if that weapon were Elonian (which I doubt as it's a Gothic skinned sword, only found in Cantha), the -5 energy would be a part of the Damage mod inscription so removing it would remove the +15% damage part too.

oh well, thank you for the help you two. BUT if i were to go aobut getting rid of the dam mod; would it be possible/ is there a mod such as 15% dam always?

They do exist BUT they only dropped in beta IIRC and are extremely rare/expensive since there are very few. (Only seen one)

Weapons with inherent unconditional +15% Damage modifiers are priceless. Not so much as that there is no monetary value, more in that nobody can really hope to afford a weapon that has one unless they sell their house and children.

Unless it has an Inscription, you can't. If it has an Inscription, you can either overwrite the Inscription or Salvage it out.
Just so you know, Gothic Swords are Canthan and thus have no Inscriptions.

A weapon with an unconditional damage bonus would be clearly more powerful than any other weapon (at least if the damage bonus was of the same height), and as such a balance issue.

As I recall, they came to exist as a result of a bug - its was damage +15%, energy regen -1. Coupled with a Zealous mod they were coming out 15%, +1e on hit, energy regen -1 (should have been -2 but wasnt). Replacing the Zealous mod took all the regen penalties away leaving an unconditional/unpenalised 15%.

A guildie of mine has a req 8 15% Unconditional Gladius. Last I checked, the bid was 600 ecto's.
So to sum up, there is no way to get rid of the drawback, unless the item is dropped in Elona, where you can replace the inscription.
