Notes

  • This item must be equipped at rollover in order to earn the extra adventures.
  • The prepositions in the descriptive text are, as the item name suggests, inappropriate, and randomly change whenever it is read. If the appropriate prepositions were used, it would say:
    • If you want to rise above the masses on the field of combat, then this is the sword you should have in your hand or strapped to your belt. Its temper and sharpness are head and shoulders above the rest. One two, one two, and through and through -- with this sword on your side, it won't be long before victory is within your reach.
  • The item description deliberately avoids selecting the correct preposition in each location.
  • Prepositions in other combat messages (such as your hit messages, item and skill usages, familiar actions and even monster name) also become randomly inappropriate, as do prepositions in chat!
  • The effect does simple word substitution, and cannot distinguish usages of words that can be multiple different parts of speech. This is even visible in the item description:
    • In the phrase "If you want to rise", the word "to" is part of the infinitive "to rise".
    • In the phrase "before victory is in your reach," the word "before" is actually a conjunction.


  • The prepositions are chosen from:
    • about
    • above
    • across
    • after
    • against
    • along
    • among
    • around
    • at
    • before
    • behind
    • below
    • beneath
    • beside
    • between
    • beyond
    • by

    • like
    • near
    • of
