Is there anything in the MIC that can give Keen Edge (other than the stuff from the DMG like the oil, the weapon enchantment, or scabbard)?

Thanks.

Searching through it, I can't find any.

What's wrong with the Scabbard? It's not Open, but I see access quite often.

Eternal Wand mayhaps.

Basically a wand with 2/day charges of a single spell, usable by anybody.

10,900gp for a 3rd level spell though.

What I'm eager for is a Sacred Scabbard. 3/day Bless Weapon just for drawing the weapon? Put me in coach.

Won't auto-confirm crits with Keen Edge, though.

True, but I still want that Sacred Scabbard gosh darnit, especially since Bless Weapon does play nice with Imp Crit.

I'd like it for my falchion wielding bard who someday may have improved crit (unless he ever finds access to Dolorus Blow), or my wife could probably use it for her scimitar wielding cleric who someday may have improved crit as well.

I have the access, I just need an MIC conversion! :weep: Or at least, I'd like notice that there won't be an MIC conversion, so I can use the favor on something else.

(And the sacred scabbard works just fine with Improved Critical :) Mmmm, falchions...)

Don't worry - I'm putting off buying Boots of Speed because I have Bracers of Quickstrike(which are nerfed if you do flurry of blows as my character does). As soon as I commit the funds elsewhere, they'll switch over ;)

Well, get on with it then, I want my scabbard :P

I know the feeling very well - my cleric, after seeing Boots of Speed access three or four times at the APL one higher than the one she played, finally (at L13) gave up in disgust and bought boots of striding and springing. On the very next game, she found boots of speed :( My dervish just upgraded his belt of giant strength to +4 a couple of games ago, and then I picked up a cert from Undermountain for a +4 belt - I'll probably just sell the old belt and take it as an 8k windfall, but it could've been 16k. Ah well ;)

That is exactly the idea i had about handling this cert. Unfortunately you won the dice off.

You get 8k for free and you are still complaining ;)

O well, at least if the scabbard becomes available we will see a lot of fighters become good aligned. Since if I remember correctly it only works for good aligned characters.

Hence the smilie on the end that was a smile rather than a frown ;) I would never complain about the shiny Undermountain certs :)

And my dervish is already good-aligned, he converted back in March after defending a temple of Pelor from a mob and making a speech on the many virtues of Pelor and his worshippers - I looked at his character sheet at that point, which said "Alignment: Neutral, Deity: Rillifane Rallathil", and thought "Yeah, this is a bit out of date" (especially since the previous mod he'd done something very similar). Of course, he promptly discovered that being nice is painful, as he ran into a gauntlet of unholy-blight-at-will erinyes... but so far he's still sticking to it.

Yeah, a good aligned weilder, limited use per day, and also by RAW limited to specified weapon types. No polearms or lances I am afraid.

I'm pretty sure it says something like "accomodates all weapons even double weapons".

"A sacred scabbard can change shape to fit any dagger, sword, or axe touched to it, even making allowances for double weapons."

So no lances, spiked chains, polearms, bows, etc. Just daggers, swords and axes (which still covers a lot).
