You need to wield a silver spiderweb to use it.

Why do I need to wield it? Can't it work like soap or normal web enchants that can be worn? As it is, its useless compared to a normal jewellry enchanted with web.

The same is true for the fan sadly
Arix2007-09-10 08:23:54
actually, I can see wielding a fan as making sense, how the hell else would you use it?
Xavius2007-09-10 08:33:48
How do you use soap you aren't wielding? You just do!

I know that, it's just annoying. Still I'll only use it out of combat so no big

I am inclined to agree that some of the new arties should be used without needing to be wielded, the spiderweb at the very least.
Shiri2007-09-10 09:06:46
Indeed. No need to make it obsoleted by enchants.
Unknown2007-09-10 09:08:15
Why in the World would you run around with a wielded spiderweb... web enchantments ftw!

In other words, I agree with Sojiro.
Saran2007-09-10 09:29:05
Slight annoyance at my inability to wield the fan and ka punch

I figured they'd be wielded items, so I decided not to even bid, as my enchantments with the simple 50cr runes seem better. So what if I have to recharge them every once in a long while?
Unknown2007-09-10 13:37:12
Still, artifacts are supposed to surpass the regular thing.

Soap is pretty much a cleanse enchant, and I don't need to wield it. If this is pretty much a web enchant, you shouldn't need to wield it either.

I mean, if you're a dual-wielding type person, wouldn't it make the artifact pretty worthless?

Yes.

Also, while we're at it, make bookbinder tome work properly for warriors and monks plz!
Clise2007-09-10 13:41:30
In that case, please make artifacts like spiderweb, fan of storms, bookbinding tome, wand of ice, wand of fire all useable from the inventory please?
Simimi2007-09-10 14:02:26
Oh man, inventory Tome... what I would give for that you have no idea! I was so sad to have to forget Bookbinding whenever I became a monk since the tome was all but useless then...

Wand of Fire and Ice are better versions of the existing enchantments aren't they (Doesn't ice like cover all exists at once?) where as, aside from never ending which the wands are aswell, the spiderweb and fan are the same as an ordinary enchantment. They aren't really comparable if fire and ice are better than the enchantment.

Bookbinding tome is a bit different aswell.
Shiri2007-09-10 14:03:33
They also cost a buttload more than the enchantment in all cases.
Ashteru2007-09-10 14:31:31
I actually wanted to stop at 150, but I wanted a custom artie for once. <.< Yeah, so it'll never repay, so what. >.> Would be nice if it did some cool extrastuff, like maybe avoiding web 10% of the time, but I don't mind it as it is! biggrin.gif (Besides the wielding thing, yeah, makes it sucky for warriors.)

yes, but as has been pointed out. buy a piece of jewelry, a cheap rune and effectively you have these auction only artifacts. If Fire and Ice are better than the enchantments so you can't replicate them as easily is more to my point.

EDIT: Not saying that fire and ice shouldn't be usable from inventory, just saying that the webs and fans are alot closer to being just normal enchantments than them

You cant use it like a brooch, WOW! that really sucks, glad I didn't bid on that.
But in the long run, most of those arties will end up on the market so not a big deal. I don't think the mask was worth more than a scrying stone though, but hey it was an auction.
Krellan2007-09-10 19:41:11
it's also lame that the wand of ice and fire don't work indoors. Why? We can cast icewalls and firewalls indoors off the regular enchantment. That should get changed as well.
