Does Geosgaeno ever drop four-slotted weapons?

[Little Blue]

I'd just like to point out that the extra slots aren't entirely useless just because of NoEnc. If you're in a forced battle (not a random one and therefore NoEnc has no way to prevent it) and forget to change your weapon, the extra slot may be useful to you...

well you could always switch weapons or characters, and forced battles dont happen often. why upgrade a weapon with a no encounter ability on it when you can start with a fresh one. its pointless. no encounter weapons and armor are used so there will be no encounters and thats it.

My point is that if you forget you're using a NoEnc weapon and go into one of the few forced battles then you'd have a better chance (or, rather oddly, have the NoEnc on a character not in the party and switch them in, forgetting what their weapon is). I'm not saying you should upgrade it, but as we've seen in XII with nethicite and people wondering why they're silenced, people can sometimes forget what they've got equiped. If you're prone to sillyness like that, then it's always worth, if you have a few spare items, just sticking something on it.
