Hey there. I read the definition thread already but didn't see anything about these weapon descriptions with all those e's and q's. I have no idea, so if someone could post a list of all of the abbreviations that go along with weapons, that'd be great. .

Those are all explained in the sticky on top of this Q&A forum.

You are probably talking about "Obsidian edge, q9, 100+2e" type statements. In these cases, q is short for requirement and e is short for ectoplasm, a rare crafting material that has become a secondary currency in GW.

@Arduin, not the ones I'm looking for.
@Iuris, Thanks for that.
Could someone also explain what the ##^## things are?

What, Requirements, Obsidian edges or globs of ectoplasm? Not kidding, I really don't know.
Requirement: in order to use a weapon to the maximum potential, your attributes need to meet the weapon's requirement. For example, a sword may only do it's stated damage if your swordsmanship attribute is 9 or similar.

Obsidian edge: A very rare sword "skin", see here for location and a screenshot. Since it's so rare, it's expensive and one can reasonably expect to be able to sell one.

Glob of ectoplasm: it's a rare craftnig material. Only drops in the Underworld, an endgame "elite" area, IE, exceptionally difficult area. It's used for obsidian armor, the most expensive armor (and prestigious) in the game.

I think he was asking about, like, 15^50. It is a very popular weapon mod that gives you +15% damage while your health is above 50%. It is either the "inherent" mod on a weapon (meaning you can't change it), or an inscription.

Ah, heh, yeah, if I HAD thought of it, I might have got it, instead of interpreting it as "the above item". Silly me - with the benefit of hindsight
