:what: ok here is my problem. i seen the upgrades on wiki and stuff now the question i have is do the upgrades listed stack or do they replace the lower upgrade?

1h sword +1 = 3-4 dmg
+2 = 6-9 dmg
does the 6-9 replace the 3-4 or does it stack to make 9-12? cuz if it replaces that a pretty s****y upgrade if it stacks it sounds epic.. considering how crappy the comparison is between a 1 hander and a 2hander's increase so can you guys fill me in on the details plox.

I herd it was replaced :U
Though Im not sure, since I havent tested/done it myself (glitched main FTL ;;)

As far as I know, it's replaced. Of course 2handers would have higher damage, you can dual-wield two of those swords with the + damage.

Replaces for one handed swords. So I assume the same for Two.

only up to + 3 in NA atm that sux the boosts blows....i'd be getting roughly the same using caliburn es for dmg increases....

side note anyone know whats the deal with the glory and dragon fang getting 4 hit combos? hows that work?

You do realize it stacks with enchants, right? So rather than complain that it just gives as much as Caliburn, you could use it AND caliburn for double the added damage.

But no, you'd probably rather whine, right?
