> One, you only gain power with the unholy weapon if you kill another player with it. Mobs, charmies, guild and cabal guardians, and finally, the boogum do not count towards the blessing.

> Two, it doesn't just add pluses to hit/dam but to hit points/mana. +10/+10 to be exact. But it is random which way it goes. You don't get both for one kill, you get either/or.

> Three, unholy weapons can be dual-wielded but they have to be the primary weapon for it to work correctly and for iron grip to work. Don't dual wield two unholy weapons, though. Neither gets anything for some reason when a kill is made.

> Four, you have to strike the killing blow in a pk. You are not going to pump your weapon up just because you are with a big pk group and stood there with your pinky in your nose expecting your unholy weapon to suck up the energy.
>
> Five, iron grip works just like a weapon with a nodisarm flag. You cannot be disarmed by any means. Strength loss will drop the weapon into your inventory though.
>
> Six, yes, all of this sounds great and wonderful and so on, so forth, BUT... If your weapon is taken by someone, whether stolen or taken from your corpse, it can hurt reallllly bad when that someone sacs it or another a-p leeches the blessing off of it. After you have ten or so kills on it, it's damn near painful enough to kill you if you are at 50% health or so, depending on your race, and you will most definitely die if you are sitting at the pit after dying when it is sacced.

> Finally, choose your weapon carefully. I suggest axes since there are classes that have a hard time parrying them and still allow you to cleave. However, I truly would like to see a fire giant a-p with an unholy blessed polearm... Oh, and no, there does not appear to be a limit on how many "blessings" that can be accumulated on one weapon.
