Ironically we now see all the modern q8 swords and shields are almost always 136 or 144g which were the previous q7 values. A great sword and history no matter the play makes it more interesting at least to me. One of my q8 crystallines for example is speculated to have been part of a massive botting/rmt/stolen chain of events. No way to prove any of it at this point and just makes for interesting history if considered true.
On a side note, this actually makes me want to take a look at my notes for the history of exploits and items. I wrote absolute tons that we have saved and I don't think we have posted it in the museum yet. Funny enough I even still had screenshots and source code for some of the more interesting ones.
