Loving OOO, but have a question

[Punnikin]

Having a great time playing an unarmored mage and reading about people having trouble even as heavy armored warriors, and I thoroughly enjoy the new challenges and loot. Loot, however, is giving me a bit of a pause.

I've killed a few Ghostly Warriors. Kinda wish I could hand-to-hand them, but oh well. The thing is, I can't loot them or pick up their dropped weapons due to it freezing my hand. Is there any way I can loot them or use their dropped items? If not, no big deal, but if there is I'd love to have their stuff in my collections.

And since I mentioned it, does anyone know a way I can punch them? My mage is morally opposed to using mundane weapons and the blast of flame from nothingness leaves a satisfying smell of bacon in the air, as well as flying body parts.

ah the spectral warriors. you cant grab their weapons as of 1.33 here is an excerpt from the OOO site

 

BEATING THE SPECTRAL WARRIORS

You may have trouble fighting the Ethereal Warriors. Understandably so, they're immune to normal damage (unless the weapon is otherwise ignorant of that resistance), fire, and frost. However, they have one fatal weakness: shock. They are MASSIVELY vulnerable to shock damage. If you're a mage with some Destruction talent, you can bowl those punks over quite quickly with some liberal application of shock damage attacks (although it's risky because they could bounce it back at you). However, for those of you not skilled in Destruction, there are other ways... the Meteoric Iron Weapons. Not only do they deal quite a bit of shock damage from a strike enchant, but they also have an added benefit of exacerbating the shock weakness for the next hit (if you can get the hit in quickly enough).

 

Below are a list of general locations of "hidden" meteoric iron weapons with shock damage enchants. No specifics; I gotta leave SOME challenge in finding them for you guys! Be informed that, because they've languisned for aeons, their enchantment energy has slowly seeped out, and the weapons themselves aren't in good condition. You'll need soul gems to replenish them (though they'll have some energy in them), and you'll need Journeyman armorer skill (as repairing them at a shop is horrendously expensive, and they're rather frail weapons to begin with).

 

Malatta Gorimacil (longsword/scimitar): Rielle

 

Gah Malatta Volenmaica (2H Battle axe): Veyond

 

Malatta Andavar (Stave): Atatar

 

Malatta Quinga (Bow): Hame, Leyawiin FG Hall (Guardian rank or higher*)

 

Malatta Maicatulwe (Glaive): Atatar (again)

 

Gah Malatta Volenbal (Greatmace): The Umbacano Collection

 

Malatta Volenbal (Regular mace): Cheydinhal FG hall (Guardian rank or higher*)

 

Go forth, and slash/bash those ethereal pains in the posterior, AYLEID STYLE!

 

* = You must be Guardian rank or higher in the FG to requisition them legally... though if you can steal them, that works just as well.
