bill bec-de-bardiche glaive-guisarme

Muscle Required: 60
Selling Price: 150 Meat.
(In-game plural: bel biv devoe glaives-guisarmes)
Notes
- Bought at The Armory and Leggery for 1,125 Meat.
- The addition of the question mark after "2-handed polearm" is intentional: The question mark shows up in the item description, probably because such a complicated, unwieldy weapon is not so easily categorized.
- The question mark after "2-Handed polearm" might also be a reference to the fact that certain polearms mentioned in the name are, in fact, 1-handed.
