GavsEvans123 05/13/19 4:18:09 PM #1:	Hello everyone, and welcome back to Best of the Trope! Here are the rules. Each day, I will post a trope from TV Tropes, and each poster can name up to three examples of that trope. Whichever nomination gets the most mentions wins! Posters may also name as many Honourable Mentions as they like, but they are purely optional and will not count towards the running score. You may look at the TV Tropes page for that day's trope for examples, but you do not have to pick all your examples from the page. You can nominate whatever examples you like, as long as they qualify for the trope. Each trope will last around 24 hours before the next one goes up. Posters may also nominate any tropes they wish to see come up during the series. This is optional, and you don't have to do it every day, or at all. Tropes will be randomly selected from the list each day, except for some occasions where I will pick a thematically appropriate trope that may or may not be on the list. Here's the list of previous tropes, so if you wish to nominate some tropes, check on here that it wasn't previously done. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope Trope List: Shrinking Violet Infinity -1 Sword Launcher of a Thousand Ships Despair Event Horizon Even the Girls Want Her Even the Guys Want Him Blue-Collar Warlock Too Good for the Sinful Earth Pop-Cultured Badass Poisonous Person Your Soul is Mine Grand Finale <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:921846071] in Best of th...

GavsEvans123 05/13/19 4:25:12 PM #4:	Today's trope is Infinity +1 Sword. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InfinityPlusOneSword This is a weapon, spell, special attack, etc., that is not only the most powerful of its kind in the game (at least for its respective player character(s)), but its power is matched by how hard it is to acquire. So you'll never get it by just sticking to the game's main story. If you want it, you've got to put the plot on hold and embark on a five-hour sidequest! That, or find the enemy that Randomly Drops it (which will likely be a Metal Slime or Boss in Mook Clothing from the Bonus Dungeon, and the drop rate may be just 2 percent, or 5 percent with a Random Drop Booster). One would think that the time needed to finish the subquest could be better spent on Level Grinding, so the Infinity +1 Sword is often more useful because it has other associated stat bonuses, unique to the character, rather than merely being stronger than other weapons (or so strong that even leveling up can't give you that kind of strength). Also, it's unlikely the dungeon the sword is in will be uninhabited; in fact, the monsters there tend to be very XP-rich anyway. Sometimes the sword has not been forged yet if that's the case, you need to find the Ultimate Blacksmith so he can make it for you. TL,DR: The most powerful weapon in the game. You're not getting it easily though - if you want it, you'll have to put the effort in. Nominations: R.Y.N.O. (Ratchet and Clank) Plagas Removal Laser (Resident Evil 4) Zodiac Spear (Final Fantasy XII) <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:921846331] in Best of th...
