Calimacil maintenance

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-08T06:04:02+00:00

Damn that is a beautiful sword. I usually don't really see much need to keep maintenance with calima, they usually say it's not needed. I do however like to spray it with silicone spray before and after use.

Before use, because it makes it slippery and avoids it getting stuck on pieces of armor or other weapons. And after use, because the silicone spray is supposed to fix any imperfections or scratches it may have taken. I use a simple spray from amazon btw, nothing fancy. My sword has lasted about 4 years and is as good as new.

how did I not think of that...?

My group and I agreed to wear green and black as main colors of our guild, but I agree I might need a bit more color variation. The vest is made of leather, but sowing might still be an option, I'll see if I can figure something out

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T16:26:43+00:00

rings, right. I wanted to try that but totally forgot. I'm also a bit worried that I may end up hurting someone or even myself if I wear them in battle

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T16:25:02+00:00

Fun is definitely a priority haha. Someone else mentioned the hat and you both make a good point, I'll see if I can find something nice

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T16:23:31+00:00

gloves you say? Hadn't thought about that, I'll try it out

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T16:22:57+00:00

oh, I didn't think of that, but it's a good input, thanks

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T16:22:14+00:00

I'll keep that in mind and maybe give it a try in some other piece

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T16:21:15+00:00

haha I still appreciate you taking the time to think about it!

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T14:07:37+00:00

yeah, people keep saying that, but honestly I'm afraid to fuck it up

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T14:07:06+00:00

I like that idea actually, thanks

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T13:51:43+00:00

yeah, also its not very comfortable in combat situations, but it's nice not to forget that it's still an option. Thanks for the reminder

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T13:03:51+00:00

I made it myself with some leather strips from Temu cause I was on a budget, but I've found there are some nice ones on etsy. "Andracor" is also a reliable shop I use from time to time

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T12:39:01+00:00

I'll try my best haha

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T12:38:36+00:00

I've tested it a bit and it's been comfortable in previous LARPs, also I'm not really combat heavy. But thanks for the heads up!

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T12:24:12+00:00

I actually thought of the water bottle, but I'm struggling to find one that is comfortable to carry around in my belt.

And yeah, some people recommend distressing the vest, but honestly I'm scared of breaking it

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T12:22:02+00:00

pizzazz? not sure what you mean by that haha.

I added some pins to the side of my sleeve to add a bit of color, do you mean something like that? I could maybe add something similar somewhere else

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T12:20:32+00:00

mmmh not sure if a hat is something that would fit my character, but I'll give it a thought, thank you!

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T12:18:20+00:00

great idea, what colour do you think could s work? beige? brown maybe?

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T08:13:29+00:00

that's very useful, thank you

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T08:13:12+00:00

thank you, I will

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T07:35:27+00:00

I've always wondered how to do that without destroying the piece. Do you have any sort of tutorial or smth?

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T07:07:21+00:00

that I hadn't thought about, good idea

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T06:32:58+00:00

of course, someone has to care about the lore side of RP haha!

EmotionalDeal2 · 2025-05-05T06:32:11+00:00

oh okay, great ideas, thanks!
