Mandrake on Fiberglass banned in AEthelmearc & Atlantia

Well that sucks that I spent over $30 on a spear tip that was only used at one event. I will keep an eye out if anything changes, but looks like we are all repadding our spear tips.

According to the post you can still use the tips on other two handed weapons just not on fiberglass spears.

Hello Jos,
Logan posted on AA that Mandrake Tips are now Banned in Atlantia. Is this true? Is there a roll out to this?

Thanks for your service,
Mor Grendel

Hey Mor Grendel,

The tips are banned on fiberglass spears only, but yep, it's official and immediate. I posted the text of Otto's message to the TUNA group on Facebook.

Can someone post the TUNA response? I just want to check that 2" foam heads are legal in Atlantia.

I heard that the Ice Falcon and other approved multi-foam spear tips are still okay. Just the Rubber Mandrakes are banned. If you are constructing it yourself it has to be 3 inchs on fiberglass.

TUNA is the Earl Marshal and sub-marshals of Atlantia. I don't recall what it stands for. Of note, the Ice Falcon tips used to be banned, but now they are not.

TUNA on Facebook is Traveling Unbelts of Northern Atlantia... I think it is just a page for all the fighters that are hunting that white belt to co ordinate trainings with other unbelts and knights.
