I've seen there is a Sithras skill in the weapon skills, but seem to be the only "non starter" weapon. That exist? Or is just a remaining from the beta? Someone has seen it?

Why do people say "ect."? It's etc. or et cetera (etcetera).
lrn2spell?
But on a serious notes, there's images for fire and ice sithras I believe. But I don't think anyone has seen one in game, yet.

They're the longest weapon in the game. Not sure about the dmg though.

Learn proper grammar. "There is images?" They are images.

no, it isn't. "æ" is a hard E, as in e.g. "æon"

It's enclosed by brackets, not parentheses.

I wonder why they didnt make them readily available as a starter weapon?Probably cause they are not in game and probably never will be.

Still waiting for a person to drop his legs as loot. Would be fun to run around and kill people with a pair of legs.
Aparently devs had them in beta.

this is what i have heard too. I think they are a rare drop and are glowing whips of some sort, not sure tho, if you look at the skill they look like energy whips, also i have heard the devs had one in beta but i dont think anyone got a screeny.
PS Dev plz post us a screeny! :D

Et Cetera is correct. Classical Latin does not use æ. The AE or æ symbol is Greek, and it is from classical Greek which encyclopedia and asthetic are derived. Et Cetera is ancient latin, and means exactly: and the rest.

read the lore, alfar weapon smiths craft sithras. but they are not in game yet (i.e. not in the crafting menu). so either they are a dropped recipe, or they don't yet exist.

When you reach 100 with the skill you can jump on water?

I asked a GM if they were in-game and he said "Unfortunately, I am unable to say to you at this time". Haha.

the gameplay trailer had them. they appear to be a lightsaber/whip weapon (normally it looks about the size of a 1h sword and extends to great range when attacking). they seem to come in elemental types: fire, lightning, etc.

I have seen the link to a sithra, it was a fire one and it was a 1h. I believe they are unlocked at 50 weaponsmith mastery skill. I don't recall if it was a sword or not but it looked like one. BTW the only stat on the link was that it was 1 handed, nothing like damage or durability, so they may indeed not be in game yet.

You will need to invent time machine, and go back in beta, kill the dev to drop one. GL

Et Cetera is correct. Classical Latin does not use æ. The AE or æ symbol is Greek, and it is from classical Greek which encyclopedia and asthetic are derived. Et Cetera is ancient latin, and means exactly: and the rest.
Wrong. The "æ" ligature is a medieval scribal shorthand for commonly re-occuring letter sequences in both Latin and Old English.
Latin had a diphthong represented by placing an A and an E next to each other, which was pronounced like "eye." The two letters were not merged until long after the roman empire itself collapsed.
Old English and many other germanic tongues had a different diphthong, the modern vowel in "cat" represented by the same ligature.
You'd have to know something about the Great Vowel Shift to know why English doesn't assign the same sounds to many vowels as other Romance and Germanic languages, but modernly æ is just fluff with no real distinct use in English.
Greek has absolutely nothing to do with Latin alphabet. They used an alphabet of characters that any math major is familiar with--and it has no similar character to æ.
