Ive yet to go to war with Battania because I play as a vassal of Battania until I'm ready to form my own kingdom. I assume they drop into loot when you're at war with them.
Why cant you buy one?
How do I get one in 1.4?
I haven't seen one since version 1.1 dropped. I thought maybe they had been removed from the game. I own most of the Battanian towns and I have created smithy worshops in two of them and I just never see one for sale. I look often too.
I have heard the price is awful now, but I guess if they are not for sale then the price is irrelevant.
It sucks. I think I'll get a drop Rhomphaia when I'm finally at war with Battania. That won't happen until I form my own kingdom.
I just want a Rhomphaia.
in my experience, i've only seen the Romphalia spawn at Marunath when it had over 6 or 7k prosperity. I've also come across a unique Romphaia named Sledgehammer at marunath, but I'm unsure what causes that to spawn as I've seen it at both low and high prosperity lately.
But essentially, I think if marunath and the surrounding feifs are contested and constantly at war then there is a low, if no chance that the Romphalia will spawn. The Romphalia has been my go to horseback weapon since release, so i've always been on the lookout for it and have only ever found it at marunath with over ~6k prosperity.
In the current patch and beta, i think that it's going to be even harder to find it given how constant war is especially with the vlandians and battanians. I think this can just be said for any cities that are highly contested but I don't think the highest tier armors and weapons will spawn unless they meet a prosperity threshold.
I never thought about it being based on town prosperity. I thought the drop rate was based on clan tier.
Thanks though. This gives me hope that I may someday have a Rhomphalia again, or better yet: Sledgehammer.
I actually never thought about it based on clan tier, so you could be right. It is pretty tough to get a t6 clan owning marunath unless it is caladog right at the start, but I am not able to find the romphalia at game start anymore, which marunath starts at around 4 or 5k prosperity i think.
So that's why I think it is based on prosperity level, but that's just my best guess based on my many hours trying to find my romphalia. I haven't even seen the cost of it since ~1.2, so it may be a multi hundred thousand denar weapon compared to its original like 1500 price tag.
btw Sledgehammer, which is a romphaia (2h sword) is like 110k. So hopefully you got denars to blow, but I think your best luck to get rolls for them would be to start a fresh game and immediately start fighting battanians and then join any kingdom as a merc to help them fight battanians and hopefully you'll roll a romphaia from wildlings.
I have seen romphalia only twice in 1.3 and 1.2 and after i had a T5 clan....
