Why cipsoft changed rusty Crimson Sword into normal?

Question

 Crimson Sword was available to get while doing  "Friday mission" of The Travelling Trader Quest.  Nowadays, while doing this mission, instead of rusty sword we got normal .

Why cipsoft changed   into ?

When exactly cipsoft made this change?

Comments

Are you doing this mission at the moment  as I have heard no mention of it changing?

They changed it while ago already.

Answer 1

Comment on Tibiopedia (2016)says that you no longer receive the rusty version. However, I did this quest in 2017 only (I played my whole life facc) and I received a rusty sword, I remember this. Maybe it was changed to make it easier for players because this rusty version was probably a little longer. Or this is incorrect information and sometimes you still get a broken sword? There is probably no information about it anywhere.

Answer 2

Having a re read through the quest dialogue for the fifth mission, you give Uzgod the 3 Iron Ore to make you the Crimson Sword.

We can make an educated guess that the sprite used to represent this creation was updated to more accurately reflect that the sword was just made and new, rather than having it look  'rusty'.
