The ritual Holy Weapon has been removed from the game and replaced with a new ritual called Divine Ire. The new ritual is granted to the same gods as Holy Weapon (Fish and Sek).
The reason for this change is that Holy Weapon had a multitude of issues that made it quite ineffective as a ritual, and even detrimental to the priest using it in some instances. The new ritual, Divine Ire, is a little more difficult to use, but will provide players with a clear and understandable benefit.
If you are a priest of Fish or Sek, please visit the instructor at any of your god's temples to learn the new ritual. There is a helpfile available using 'help divine ire' that outlines the basics of how it works.
If you have a faith rod that holds the Holy Weapon ritual, you can speak to a liaison to have the ritual replaced. You can either have it replaced with Divine Ire if you are happy with the cost and skill requirements of the new ritual, or you can choose an offensive ritual of the same GP cost as Holy Weapon (90gp) or lower.
Finally, any warded items that include Holy Weapon as part of the ward will become un-warded when they first load in (either when you login for items in your inventory, or when you take them from a vault/piece of furniture). Where possible, you will receive a message to notify you of this fact. You will need to re-apply any affected wards that have been removed in this way.
Thanks and have fun!
