Exult Forum

in the original u7, you could never put the black sword down on the ground or anywhere else for that matter without it returning to your possession with the green magic circle things appearing
this is also stated in the conversations with the mage at the isle of fire

i just did the isle of fire sequence again and put it to the test out of curiosity
there's a bug here since the sword remains on the ground even when you walk out of sight of it

i think this is a pretty urgent bug since it contradicts the actual script
dunno, but "master and slave of the shade blade" seems quite definite to me...

btw, sorry i didn't post this in the bug report forums, the last time i tried to post a report there i found out i had to register and all that and i think i was just dissuaded..

You don't have to register to submit a bug report, you're just encouraged to do so.

But, please, do add a savegame where you have the Black Sword.
