w8: light sword & excaliber

[東邪]

finally got a savegame with excaliber in the davy jones locker chest.
(hurray!). i also saved up right before the buccaneer ghosts, so i can have
them drop a lightsword, before i go pick up excaliber.
the problem is, i have spent the whole morning killing buccaneer ghost, but
none of them dropped a light sword. i can confirm that they do drop light
shields though.

i have another savegame where they dropped a lightsword quite fast, so i
know they do drop them.

just wondering: i use a couple of level 7 banish to finish them off quickly.
will this have an effect on the probability rate of them dropping light
swords?

i killed over 1000 buccaneer ghosts already this morning, i think.
crazy.

if i have to pick between the light sword and excaliber, i think i would go
for the light sword though, because my fighter then can use that nice light
shield to go with it .. whereas excaliber is two-handed. anywayz ..

i have been killing those buccaneer ghosts for hours and i am getting fed up
with it, not to mention i need to get some food ..

if someone has both the lightsword (from the ghosts) and excaliber and can
confirm, that would be great.

cheers,
lok

FWIW, you can pick up the light sword in one of the Bayjin huts. I got one
first try. You have to have a save from before you entered Bayjin however
since the treasure is randomly generated when you enter the level. You
*really* don't need both swords to finish the game however, esp. after you
clear out the SE Wilderness chapel and go visit Ferro in Rapax Castle with
the right stuff.
