Correcting 'awl pike' to finally be called 'pike'. #30591
Conversation
For a long time now, the awl pike has been considered the longer variant of the standard pike, with the REACH3 Flag; this has been an issue addressed by Kevin before, but the actual ID of the items hasn't been adjusted since then. The change just renames the awl pike to the pike. There may be changes to other files in the future involving the other pike.
Fits with other name changes, following the reasoning that the awl pike is in fact, just a pike.
Updated inferior and fake 'awl pikes' to 'pike'.
Updated pike entry in tools.json for awl pike.

The description still needs to be fixed. Actual awl-pikes do have spike heads, but regular pikes use the more traditional bladed spearheads. It might be more justified to keep the awl-pike as it is, but give it a shorter attack range, and add a separate regular pike item. |
The item was referred to as a pike by Kevin in the past, it was just never made into the actual pike. Another weapon, with a shorter reach, also existed. It may also still exist and could take the name of the awl pike. The reason for the shift of names was that the awl pike is about 2-3 Feet shorter and yet had longer reach variables than the pike did. |
