My item looks kind of boring, and dull and I'm not sure what it is?

Perhapse a new spear head?

If you feel your weapon is too boring, try breaking the symmetry.
But to be honest I don't think you have to do that, just try broadening and shortening the blade a little. It's is very pointy and long - compared to the original weapon one could say it's too extreme.

You need smoothing groups too, or at least 1
, unless you want hard edges hexagonal. Looks rough on the hands. you'd get better lighting too.

And the first shot, just use a light/med grey background. The blue distracts and makes it harder to see the staff colors.

Maybe make the points around the blade larger, they are pretty much hidden in game.

:thumbup: with Dota you want to split your mesh as little as possible. You may be right on with the tri count, but having too high a vertex count alone will prevent your item from being accepted. Let normal maps do most the work, and split the mesh only when needed.

He still need one though
