i think what he kinda means that you have to be more specific like Anduril and such becasue just basic things would throw us off and was it lance becasue none were used in wotr or at all for that matter

I guess I'll bite this time...

Guess #1- A lance is the only weapon not used in the books. Only a mounted fighter can use a lance - which basically rules out everybody but Oromë and the Rohirrim, and neither of them used a lance.

Guess #2- A shield is the only non-weapon.

A knife; Gil-Galad bore all the others except a knife. His spear (or lance) Aeglos is mentioned in the Silmarillion and the other gear in The Fall of Gil-Galad (Sam recites the first lines of it in the FoTR).

You’re correct Annunfuiniel

They are all mentioned (one exeption the knife) in The Fall of Gil-Galad

His sword was long, his lance was keen,
his shining helm afar was seen:
the countless stars of heaven's field
were mirrored in his silver shield.

Gandalf's staff was the only item not handed to Hama at the door of Meduseld in Edoras.

Hmm. Whenever I think I've set an easy one, no-one gets it for ages ... and when I think it's difficult, the answer's found straight away! [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

How about these:

Drum
Fiddle
Flute
Harp
Horn

I don't recall anyone playing a fiddle in Tolkien's M-E books. So, is it a fiddle?

I don't recall the flute or the harp either.

Maybe...
Horn - It's the only musical instrument carried by the Fellowship

Horn - the only instrument played in LotR (of the others is only spoken)

I would definitely say horn, it wasn't played in Bilbo's hole, and it was the only one blown/played in LOTR.

Malva Headstrong got it first - the Horn is the only instrument not played by the Dwarves at the Unexpected Party at Bag End.

I think it was Fili and Kili on the Fiddles. There were Clarinets and Viols too. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Your turn, Malva ...

The pony was the only item not used by Boromir. Or, on a similar line of thought, it was the only thing that did not accompany him on his final journey over the Falls of Rauros.

No, it has nothing to do with Boromir. He was dead for quite a while when these items were mentioned.

Thank thee, Malva! That was a good one (though someone might argue that the poor pony is no item [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).
Yes, back to business:

Arkenstone

Arkenstone
There is only one Arkenstone
Or is it because the Arkenstone isn't destroyed or lost.

Oops, sorry, didn't see the 'Right, go on!' message.

Arkenstone is the only one not to be made by Elves, I believe.

You're both right but I was looking for the answer that Estanesse gave; there was only one Arkenstone others were many.
So, please do continue, Estanesse! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
