How many lines are spoken when the word Excalibug is mentioned? And how many NPCs will react to it? by @FPoP

I read this question and wonder what "excalibug" is because I have never heard of it. We know what it looks like or what it is? I want specific answers, both from the internet (various sources), but also that someone describes it in their own words.

RELATED question: How many NPCs will react to the word "Excalibug" and what do they say about it?

Best answer

It was a sword with very high statistics, which looked exactly like  Magic Long Sword (which is just a copy of Excalibug)

Excalibug was never intended to be in the game.One of the mapmakers who worked on the Plains of Havoc created a weapon with amazing statistics (according to rumors: Atk: 100, Def: 80, most likely Atk: 80, Def: 60). - Tibiopedia

Contrary to popular belief, the sword was not meant to be in the game. The original name "Excalibug" was given by players (the name came from part of the word "Excalibur" which was King Arthur's sword, and "bug" because it was a bug in the game. Hence, "excalibug.") It was discovered in the body that now is the Crystal Key quest. It was apparently placed there by a mapper so that he could secretly retrieve it and use it himself. Another one of these swords was later found in a cyclops by Taghor. They would both be a Magic Longsword if they existed today. The swords were removed from the game, and when the Magic Longsword was introduced, the stats were lowered twice, and after the second time they stuck. CipSoft presumably added excalibug as roleplaying material, and this is the story: 

The ancient dwarven kings forged it. They forged the weapon to help with the fight against evil creatures. This mythical blade was hidden in ancient times. It's said that powerful wards protect it. There are only many rumors; almost nothing is known for sure. - TibiaFandom

Unrelated, but, I did try to sell the magic longsword to the dwarf, confirming that the excalibug is not the same as the MLS.
