This is the coolest bloody weapon I've ever had the pleasure of encountering in this game. Bravo/Brava, forreal. My only complaint is that the weapon doesn't have a tier counter on it. Yer an artist.

Whenever I obtain Narthex, I like to think that its as if Narthex takes over the players body and you are no longer playing as your character. Rather you are playing as Narthex itself that is possessing your body. Kind of like a host body type thing.

If Koichi doesn't offer it anymore, you will have to find one naturally. Any altar will give you the sword though!

I left the location before getting the sword and completing the objective, can I not start the quest again?

Is there an ID for the blood altar? I looked through the comments and didn't see one posted.

Yippee :SBpenguin: mkay byeeee (until next time)
Neb  [author] 15 Nov, 2024 @ 2:17am 
Its client based, so its how much popping candy you yourself have eaten
saph0704 15 Nov, 2024 @ 2:15am 
Fair enough, I really should not be using them as primary healing at this point anyway lols. Also, question: is the sword's leveling client-side or server-side? (I understand that the mod is server-side)
Neb  [author] 15 Nov, 2024 @ 2:07am 
They don't really do much aside from levelling up your sword and a tiny amount of healing, so there was no real reason to make them one-handed when two-handed would be much more noticeable as an item to use when you get it.
saph0704 15 Nov, 2024 @ 12:48am 
Can I ask why the sanguine powerstones are two handed? It show up in one hand which is nice, but it also only has a single click use. I just want to put it next to my boo-boo stickers on my hotbar. :SBpenguin: I mean, if the commisioner didn't want them to be one handed (or specifically wanted that) that'd be cool. A'm mostly just curious. Still a lovely blade regardless and it is most certainly one of my favs <3

Personal one

nice !! what is this hair cut with lovly flam ? :p
ChewedPencil 9 Nov, 2024 @ 9:13pm 
Great weapon! But just a quick question. Does this weapon count as a broadsword for other mods like RPG Growth or FU? since they have modifiers for different weapons. (also thought it would be cool to have a patch mod for RPG Growth to add a Blood Knight class with this as its main weapon)

@AtomicBeaverCleaver check the comments

Any chance of getting the spawn ids for the sword and the sanguine powerstones?
OLDMOON 3 Nov, 2024 @ 11:33am 
command for spawn altar?
EricTheCleric 24 Aug, 2024 @ 10:34pm 
Sorry for the late reply, thank you and this is a really cool mod.
Neb  [author] 14 Aug, 2024 @ 10:35pm 
Regarding hitboxes they are as intended I believe but I could be wrong, will look into it.

As for save-related things, not many mods for Starbound can impact an ongoing save, or require a new save. This mod is completely fine for ongoing saves.
EricTheCleric 14 Aug, 2024 @ 6:34pm 
is this safe for ongoing saves or do i have to make new save?
lechkingofdead 8 Jun, 2024 @ 4:51pm 
hm... wonder were the runes are then from... when ya modded long ago and forget what does what.
Neb  [author] 7 Jun, 2024 @ 2:05am 
Nah, not this mod, and the survival resources isn't my mod, I just helped.
lechkingofdead 7 Jun, 2024 @ 1:38am 
hm when i got the blade i broke the vases around and found some runestones. as far as resipe brouser shows its code name is srm_runestone_sulphur anything related to this mod by chance. or at lest your survival resorces mod
Monarch 23 Apr, 2024 @ 4:22pm 
do you think you can make a fire and brimstone version of the sword? is totally fine if you are not up for suggestions or commisions, it looks absolutely awesome since i love things black and red lol and for the longest time i thought i had this idea alone in my graphic novel where one of my main character uses a similar weapon X3

Hey Neb! I unpacked Narthex to change it's damageSourceKind to ews_melee for use with GiC cause the sword is really cool, but I can't seem to change the damage of the actual flying sword, only the held melee attacks. Looking over your script for the flying sword combo it's amazing but also extremely confusing for a pleb such as myself, any advice on how to do this?
Factionator 11 Mar, 2024 @ 10:27am 
All right, thank you!
Neb  [author] 9 Mar, 2024 @ 4:01am 
Do /debug while holding the sword
Factionator 8 Mar, 2024 @ 12:51pm 
Is there any way to check how many stones your character has used?
Zirolive69 2 Mar, 2024 @ 7:54am 
Where I can make the sword stronger?
coco656125 18 Feb, 2024 @ 7:01pm 
works great, low dmg at first but with some enemy farming its super strong

/spawnitem neb-narthex
Ash 26 Jan, 2024 @ 12:01pm 
Thanks for the clarification!:steamthumbsup:
Neb  [author] 26 Jan, 2024 @ 12:45am 
Vanilla means unmodded. So when I say vanilla planets, I'm referring to planets not added by mods.
Ash 25 Jan, 2024 @ 8:17pm 
When you say "Viniila planet" do you mean the planet you first land at when you start the game?
Because I dont want to have to make a new save file to get the sword.
-Nightster- 24 Jan, 2024 @ 5:34am 
Well, I’m rather talking about the fact that I published the mod in the workshop with visibility “only for myself”.
And yes, I added your mod to the necessary subscriptions
Neb  [author] 24 Jan, 2024 @ 5:31am 
You can test without publishing, and that is the point. And did you add a "requires" in the metadata?
-Nightster- 24 Jan, 2024 @ 5:28am 
Thank you for answer, Neb!
Yes, I apologize, I should have asked your permission at the very beginning, although I did not publish the mod itself publicly in the workshop, I only needed it for testing and further understanding of how it all works.
As for the fact that my mod didn’t work, I don’t know why, because I loaded it after yours, that’s why I asked. But oh well, I guess it doesn't really matter anymore.

Also, thank you very much for updating the stone drop rate, it will really be beneficial!
Neb  [author] 24 Jan, 2024 @ 4:55am 
I don't know why you didn't test it before uploading it to the workshop, or why you didn't ask me for permission before doing this. But that aside, as of now, the drop rates are 0.7% increasing by 0.7% for every world level. So a tier 10 world has a 7% chance per kill. Hopefully that fixes some of the issues.

As for why it didn't world, you probably loaded your mod before this one. Meaning the file could not be updated with your new rates.
-Nightster- 24 Jan, 2024 @ 12:07am 
Hello, Neb! I absolutely loved this mod!
I tried changing the drop rate of Sanguine Powerstones on sword kills and adding it as a mod to the workshop (my first time doing this), but nothing worked.
I unpacked the mod, found the required line in “stats\effects\neb-narthexdeathbomb” (is this it? I checked every file in the mod and found only a mention of the drop chance), changed the value from 0.001 to 0.1 (for testing), packed this 1 modified file and uploaded it to the workshop.
I checked it in the game, but even so the stones do not drop from mobs (although the chance is 10%, if my mod works of course).
Can you please tell me what the problem might be?
Neb  [author] 21 Jan, 2024 @ 3:45am 
They are optional secrets, you do not need to complete them.
CardeHK 21 Jan, 2024 @ 1:42am 
i suggest give the koichi's short quest a little change.there are two chests in the water,and the one required the morph ball technology can stuck your character easily if you don't have a water ball tech thing
SlashPointZ 13 Jan, 2024 @ 2:52am 
1/1000 still right? but i'm also getting unlucky finding the shrines lol
Neb  [author] 13 Jan, 2024 @ 1:53am 
The drop chance is very very low, it isn't the main way of leveling it up.
SlashPointZ 12 Jan, 2024 @ 11:27pm 
i've killed a few hundred enemies with narthex and haven't dropped a single powerstone :skull: i love my luck
Wolf 5 Jan, 2024 @ 11:43pm 
On alternate use the sword disappears, i can use it but i do not see it. My thought on this is that i use the lyceen race and there is no animations for it.
Leon 5 Dec, 2023 @ 6:37am 
nice TY
Neb  [author] 20 Nov, 2023 @ 3:20am 
Thats coming in the future, but it should be displayed when you do /debug.
Zofrah 19 Nov, 2023 @ 10:09am 
how about add the count of consumed power stones?
darksoul50115 16 Nov, 2023 @ 3:19am 
i have the sword but there is no info on the blade and i have been using the blade from the start and not a single enemy has not dropped a power stone
Abela 5 Nov, 2023 @ 5:11am 
Noichi is still giving me the slay 100 monsters quest after the fifth time, I am seriously confused.
Abela 3 Nov, 2023 @ 3:53pm 
Noichi or what's his name keeps forcing me to repeat the same quest over and over, is that normal?
AlIen Wooliee 15 Oct, 2023 @ 1:21pm 
Alright, thanks.
