I've been having problems using most of my one handed weapons, they don't swing and I can't attack with them. Well I can use one weapon, Calrain's Mace. However I can't use my GIB, FlameLick, PFCK, Bone Blade, or High Elven Sword. I've tried wielding them 2 handed and swiching hands and nothing. I've tried using them with my Rune Shield and only the shield swings. My 2-handed weapons work fine, like my Rune Axe, Great Axe, Greater Thunder Axe, Snake Staff, and Fire Gauntlets, as do my spells.

I also just got the Urdulian Shield, lucky me. However, I can't put it away with q, it tells me I have too many Urdulian Shields. This is strange, because I only have one. I tried dropping my Rune Shield and I was then able to put away my Urdulian Shield, but then picking up my Rune Shield after that I was unable to put it away. Somehow just playing around I was preping a spell and picked up my Urdulian Shield and it went into my small sack!?! My Rune Shield won't go in there or anything else, like my big sack or backpack.

If anyone is wondering how many items I'm carrying around, it's around 60-63. Thou a couple of weeks ago it was as high as 74, but I've purged my inventory to bring it down.

I've noticed since the latest patch that my stats have been looking funny too. I don't know if this is a problem that's been around for awhile, as I've been away from the game for a few months.

I'm really hoping that I don't have to roll-back, as I can't remember how long it's really been since I've been having my weapons problems. This could be a 2-3 week old problem. As to why it's taken me so long to talk about this, well I don't use my 1H weapons much.

Is it possible to have my character "remade"? Meaning I take screenshots of my character stats, inventory and known spells and my character is deleted and made again with the stats and items I have? I realize the items could be a problem. Is it possible to load in another character and drop items that I have? I would think that someone has the ability in the game to "create" items for testing purposes, so I would hope it is do-able. I know this sounds like a pain in the ass to do, but for me it would be a much greater pain in the ass to have to start over again. It's my level 36 main character and it taken me a huge amount of time to develop it. Or does this sound like I'm going to have to live without my 1H weapons if I want to keep my character?

Your character cannot be remade...However, it can be rolled back to an earlier date...Has this happened more than once?

My FUBAR'ed character

I've noticed that I haven't been able to use my 1-H weapons for a while now. It's not just a one time thing. I've loaded into a server on many different time this weekend and it's been like that.

Could this be a client side problem, or maybe a server side problem? I've been playing on this one server because the ping is really low for me as all the others I see are 300+ usually. I should check out if it's a server issue or not...

What the hell! His char is fine, it's just that last time he played it was before the level restrictions on weapons... Maybe your proficiency levels are just too low to use them.
The "You have too many urdulian shields" isn't a bug either, it just means your two back slots are taken "Bows and shields" Put your bow in a weapon strap and you'll be able to wear both shields.
When you prepare a spell (same as if your both hands were full) and pick up stuff, it "forces" them to go in some places they shouldn't go but then again, small sacks can magically hold shields...
There's nothing wrong about your char and rolling back won't help at all.

I was able to use weapons above my proficiency. I used a Battleaxe (needs prof. of 12) with a proficiency of either 10 or 11. I used a Dagger with a proficiency of 1 in small arms.

I was still able to swing, and gain XP from these weapons, although it gave me an annoying "Your proficiency is not high enough" or something message.

Everything seems to be fine now

Thanks Humansteak!! Your suggestion about moving my bow did the trick. As for my 1H weapons, they seem to be working fine now too. I don't know what did it, but I just cleaned up my games drive and defraged it and it all worked out. Even my character profile is looking as it should and not with all these mystery letters. To top it all off, I just unloaded some more gear from my main to my alt, as I was getting up to 68 items. Now I'm down to 57. How many (or few in my case) items can you have before it starts saying that you have too many items and this may cause character corruption?
