Weapon Enchanting Contest Winners - Xyza

Seven enchanters were given bags of weapons. Six enchanters returned their finishing bags to me with the results of their   enchanting of fifteen weapons... (more) Each of the weapons was built especially for this contest, their stats based on the stats on the corroded fishing line except that nonessential flags were left off the weapons... A number of weapons exploded in the course of the contest... As such, some finishing bags contained only four weapons, others contained more... one bag contained only one weapon...

In judging the best enchantments, I looked for:

1) strength of the weapon enchantment
2) number of weapons with strongest enchantments

Strength of the hits were added together, strenths of the damages were added together, and both numbers were added for the final scores:

1st place: Zephryn - 7/11, 9/9/ 8/8 --> 52
2nd place: Xerxyz - 7/11, 6/10, 5/9 --> 48
3rd place: Jalaluddin - 7/11, 5/9, 5/9 --> 46

Thanks also to Palthainan, who exploded most of his weapons... Padorach, who gave me even the weapons with 3's and 4's, and Spritzer,  whose weapons were decent but not high enough to put him in the top three...

For those who are curious, the old record for the best enchantment on a weapon (a corroded fishing line) was Ayilsa's 8/12... For more of the earlier records, see http://www.geocities.com/kye13.geo/contests.htm
