10 Video Game Weapons With INSANE Requirements
4. Lightsaber - Star Wars Galaxies
Jedi during the Galactic Civil War were rare and hunted relentlessly, and Star Wars Galaxies (the first MMO set in a galaxy far, far away) made sure to make your Jedi life as difficult as possible.
To become a Jedi, you have to become Force sensitive, which you do by mastering specific job classes or visiting specific points of interest. After this, you have to wait for a character called The Old Man to randomly appear before you.
Then you have to fight numerous Sith to start a series of quests. Upon completion, FINALLY you'll be a Jedi... after you complete the Padawan Trials and build your lightsaber.
Congratulations, you have now unlocked the ability to be a weak little baby Jedi. Now, you have to live and train in total secrecy. If anyone sees you wielding your lightsaber, you'll be marked with a huge reward for player bounty hunters to collect.
And did we mention the permadeath? Yes, if you die, you have to start from scratch.
Seeing a Jedi in the game was rarer than spotting a unicorn. It was a grueling path that forced you to play alone or only with your closest, most trusted friends.
It was awesome.
