We have had a few favourite item threads over the past month, so I decided go for the flip side of the coin. What are your least favourite items?

In my case, it would be the Yewbeam bow. I used to really enjoy killing people with my trusty crossbow, knowing that it was the best weapon for killing at a range. It had the best damage, and most likely best DPS for ranged weapons, and was regarded to be in the Mithril tier because of it's insane power by most people. It was basically a mithril sword with a massive range, nevermind the reload. It was also dirt cheap for someone living at rockma or spire, so duel and triple wielding was a very viable option, much easier than a mithril sword in my opinion. With a quiver, that would probably outdo the mithril sword reload time, and make it truly the best weapon out there.

But then, they added a new weapon. The Yewbeam bow. For a moment, it seemed that the crossbow was still the weapon for sniping, being able to headshot a mithrilite with reinforced mithril armour, while the Yewbeam did less in tests, but then someone pointed out that actually, if you use steel arrows, it does more damage than a crossbow. Added to the much halved reload time of the bow, that was a massive fall for the crossbow. Suddenly, I wasn't using the best weapon ever, with the Yewbeam bow storming ahead. The trusty crossbow I once held now had so much less fear factor, it was almost useless. When pointed at someone, they no longer thought "They have the best weapon in the game, they are probably a powerful Mithrilite with powerful friends." instead, the tone was more of "Ugh, just another steel user."

And if having my favourite weapon being knocked out of it's place as first wasn't enough, a speedhacking mithrilite used one on me to kill me while I was on a "leaving the server, going to kill everyone" mithril rampage. They just speedhacked out of my range, and shot at me with the bow until I died. That put a rather abrupt stop to my rampage.

'''Note: This is not least valued items, we don't want "pile of dirt, it is so useles!". It is instead for things you have a bad experience with (like my Yewbeam bow story), or things you just hate, like how the king statue got a new look.'''
