Well, jsut last night I finally succeeded on the 326 tivial combine on this item. I can say that alla's stats are off so I will post the new info as soon as I can get back in front of the game. The Lifedraw dmg is lower than the listed amount. Having said that, this still rocks!

I LOVE the graphic on this weapon, but thats only good for showing off in PoK. Instead I would go with a little known weapon called the Reaver, it is 40/40 and +12 to all saves. It is heavy, but sells for around 4K on most severs.

The reaver is too heavy. The reaver will only do half to 3/4 of a point per second more then the this one. Not worth it too me.
This weapon provides more taunt from the proc, lighter to haul around for those working on more then one weapon skill, looks too cool not to have, easier and cheaper to get as of today on Drinal. As for the resists, I would only worry with that when I raid and I can find sooo many things to boost those these days. I would rather have a shield to help off tank.
Just my 2 coppers worth

This Berzerker usable :)
I have a Zerker on Antonius Bayle and even at 41 with 189 str and 171 dex she hits for up 184 . Will no strong enough (proc at 45) anything from 1 to 4 times a fight .. and it looks so very cool - particularly for the berzerker axe image :)
( double atk for 150 then triple frenzy for 140 =720 damage iin one round ) makes mob look up :)

not only does it hit hard (saw a 21 hit for 150)it looks really really cool if i remeber correctly it looks like a rounded hammer with spikes on it or something like it and it is really cheap makin it even more awesome for every class it is usable by

To tell you the truth its not a bad item. Got it for 1600 on Tunare and its very damaging. With no haste item and just an Enchanter I totally murdered my last few LDoNs. Its a good inexpencive SK item that wont take all the aggro and wont anihilate your wallet. with about 225 Str I averaged 98 damage per swing with a considerable amount of hits in the 150s range

40% haste, and 40 delay, you just do the following--->100-40=60, 60/100=.6, 40x.6=24, with 40% haste on 40 delay, it becomes 24 delay...
43 posts
Which item has 40% haste??
OK here it is, haste explained, so anyone can understand it.
If you have a 40% haste item, it increases your attack rate 40%, it does NOT decrease your delay 40%. Taking the 40 delay weapon used as an example before, unhasted you would swing 10 times (not counting possible double attacks) in 40 seconds. WITH 40% haste, you would attack 14 times in the same time period. So you go from 100% of normal speed, to 140% of normal speed.
TO figure out the effective delay of your weapon hasted, use the following formula:
Hasted delay = delay/((100+haste%)/100)
So for 40 delay weapon, with 40% haste:
hasted delay = 40/(140/100)
hasted delay = 40/1.4
hasted delay = 28.57
Thats the formula, AND why it is used.

Which is the correct way to calculate haste? I have seen two ways mentioned on Allkhazam's:
Given a haste of 40% and a delay of 40:
1. 40 - (40*.4)=24 delay
2. 40/(1+.4)=28.57 delay
For those who know what they're talking about, please feel free to post a response to this posting.

You are both wrong. You are looking at haste the wrong way. Lets make it simple. Lets say an item has 40 delay, and you have 100% haste going on. With 100% haste, that effectively doubles your speed, i.e. a 100% increase. Thus, your delay would be HALVED. So, with 100% haste and 40 delay, you would have a 20 delay. The way I figure haste, which is one correct way of doing it, is subtract from 1 the haste %, divided by half and devided by 100 and then multiply the result by the delay to get the new delay. For instance, on this item, with the 48 delay, and wearing SCHW which I believe are 21% haste, the delay would be (1-((21/2)/100))x48 = (1 - .105)x48 = .895 X 48 = New Delay of 42.96, or 43 rounded up. This is one of a few ways to figure it, but it does come up with the correct delay.
??? Where'd that method come from? Simplified, your version is similar to version 1 above, but you just arbitrarily throw in a division by two.
Using method 1 that bobray showed:
48 - (48 * .21) = 37.92
You assert that it is:
48 - (48 * (.21/2)) = 42.96
The second method bobray showed is correct:
48/1.21 = 39.67
Using method 1 that bobray showed:
48 - (48 * .21) = 37.92
You assert that it is:
48 - (48 * (.21/2)) = 42.96
The second method bobray showed is correct:
48/1.21 = 39.67
You better watch your thunder, it's the first thing I'm gonna steal.

My arby is decent but at 30/42 the dps isn't impressive and my polearm won't be decent for 5 more levels. 44/48 w/ like a 90hp dmg difference on that life draw is uber!

I purchased this yesterday for 2400pp and a Club of the Ice Ocean (typically 1200-1400pp on Saryrn; won on a /roll from Lodi). Here's the experimenting I did right afterward:
I'm a 55 Paladin. After purchasing this in the Bazaar, I headed over to Dawnshroud Peaks where I could solo some greenies without being murdered. I also use a Mace of the Fallen Crusader (21/25
Ratio: 1.19 Str: +12 Wis: +8 Disease Resist: +20 HP: +35)as my 1hb + Sarnak Battle Shield (AC25+resists). I wanted to see the difference. I had recently purchased the Mace and worked my 1hb up from like 6. Now 1hb is around 213 and 2hs is like 208 or so.
I soloed large zelniaks, green at 55, and timed the length of time to kill them. The test:
*Mace of the Fallen Crusader
*Sarnak Battle Shield (using bash for dmg as well)
*FBSS (had to remove the Axgoreth's, Doh!)
*Valor of Marr (Paladin self-haste spell)
I was able to cream a large zel in approx 35 seconds, without casting spells.
Retest:
*Black Acrylia Halberd
*FBSS
*Valor of Marr
Large Zel died in 30 seconds.
Last test:
*Black Acrylia Halberd
*Axgoreths
*Valor of Marr
This test wasn't the best one, because the zel ran a bit and I missed a swing or two when I was writing down my time, but it was in the 45-48 second realm.
Some observations -
1) My AC is much higher with the Mace of the Fallen, mainly because I can add the shield and bash. Plus the right shield adds nice resists or other stats.
2) FBSS really DOES make a difference. Too bad it's waist, now I have to get SCHW instead.
3) It took me longer to hit the indifferent zelniak to start the aggro with the Halberd than it did the mace. I believe that the paladin misses more than half of the time - we connect somewhere in the 40th percentile (i.e. hit 4 times out of every 10 swings) against the harder mobs (even con +). I think that both are situational weapons, and having both would be advantageous.
In my opinion (and I'm still doing some testing), it's extremely close, but the mace+shield works out better if you can get a nice shield. This Halberd may go to my warrior ) Even though the Halberd dropped the zels a bit quicker, the AC+Stats +bashes are more advantageous than the few seconds saved for smaller mobs. Larger mobs might make a diff, but you may miss more as well, and with a longer re-swing time....the halberd may not be as effective.
Also, at a str of maybe 120 (unbuffed, missing Axgoreths, etc, not an uber pally here) I was hitting for max180, min40s, ave between 80 and 140. Not too bad.
Oh, and the lifetap only proc'ed maybe twice throughout the entire test on all mobs. My Dex is not much over 100.
So there you have it. I hope it's been helpful.

I picked up one of these at level 45 for about 6K. I've noticed the price fluctuate from 9K all the way down to 4K on Saryrn server.
I've used the weapon now for 8 lvls, and still just love it. I get a request for the link, or compliments on it almost every single time I'm using it, but more importantly, it does massive damage. With my STR around 215 buff'd, I've doubled for 200 203 (maximum so far) and usually average 150's to 180's. It deals death quickly and efficienty, and I've also won two duels with it, against a monk and druid which were 4 and 3 lvls higher than I, respectively.
Only complaint I have is that it is heavy. My STAM gets drained, but as a pally, Invigor keeps me swinging without downtime. I love this weapon.

Posted: Nov 15 2002 at 11:07 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I was able to make these on Tunare for about 1500pp-1700pp. I would post the step-by-step instructions but I cant keep the outline form so it just looks like slop....anyway you can go from scratch to finished in about 4 hours if you can find the people you need
This is going 4-6k and dropping on Fennin Ro server. With all the new plane swords coming out this is not that good. Its hard to sell one for that price too =p.

I agree very much with the excellent post below: its summation of the worth of this item is accurate indeed. What makes this especially worthwhile is the cost factor. On Xev (which tends to be a fairly expensive server), one of these can be picked up for as little as 9k (though 10-13k is the norm). By comparison, an Argent Protector typically costs (again on Xev) 16k to 23k (depending on the 'gouge' factor of the vendor). For the cost, this item is in my opinion a better buy if stats are a non-issue (and with group buffing, it usually is a smaller issue these days...and especially at higher levels were buffs are prevelant). This certainly works as a great power weapon until you have a no-drop that beats it (and then at that time, you can certainly sell it to another player. It does retain its value well). Plus, the last factor is 'pimp coolness'; and this weapon is by far, one of the most attractive and mean looking in the game (looking good and doing damage make a nice combination). Enjoy!

Hi folks.
While scouting for good twink weapons for my SK, I came upon this item, and an Argent Protector.
Firstly, this weapon is level-restricted. The damage goes way down if you're not level 45+. Thus, this weapon is only 100% useful for people level 45+, so this is definitely NOT a twink item. =D
Secondly, Argent Protector is a 42 / 49 2HS. The ratio comes out to 1.16 (rounding down). This halberd is 40 / 48, making it a 1.2 ratio. HOWEVER (big however =D ), this weapon has a +4 magic bane bonus, making it a 44 / 48 whenever this comes into play, making it a 1.09 ratio. The only question here is, "How much will this magic bane come into play?". From my understanding, almost every single mob that isn't an "animal" type, over level 40, is magical, so I'm assuming that against roughly 90% of post-40 mobs, this weapon is a 44/48. Given that, the Black Acrylia Halberd is approximately 6% better than the Argent Protector, ratio-wise. This weapon is also cheaper than the AP, and more readily available (the components aren't extraordinarily difficult to get...you can XP grind in Acrylia Caverns, Maiden's Eye and Akheva with a single group and pick up the components quite easily, assuming you're in your mid 50s).
I'm not going out on a limb and saying that this weapon is better than an Argent Protector, but in comparison, it is very good for the Warrior who just wants the great ratio, and wouldn't mind giving up the stats. It is also a cheaper alternative to the AP.
Also, the reason I compare it to the Argent Protector is because, in my opinion, the AP is probably one of the top 3 heavily traded, and heavily sought after 2HS on my server, if it's not #1. (Axe of Aggression, and certain other CT and Dragon Necropolis weapons are better than the AP and the BAH, but, they are not as heavily traded, and not as sought after, as they are very high priced.)
For you folks out there who like 2HS, this is definitely a weapon to look out for, as it is one that could easily carry you all the way up to those high level dragon raids (ToV, etc.), and will serve you until you find something much better that's No Drop.
Hope this information helps those out there looking for a good 2HS. Price vs. usefulness, this weapon is a big winner.

Fel, thank you for your clarification. I recently found out about that too.
Hence, this weapon is really a 44/48, but has a chance of having 4 points of damage resisted.
Still, unless the mob was 100% MR, you could still say that this was a 44/48 weapon consistently, as times when the 4 points of magic are resisted, would just count as a hit that isn't for max damage. Not a huge deal.
I still stick to my opinion that this is the best cost/ratio weapon.

Just a brief note, this isn't Magic *Bane* damage it's Magic Damage, in the same as some weapons have cold, disease, fire or poison damage modifiers. Basically the opponent makes a Save vs Magic every hit and if unsuccessful the weapon is treated as 44 damage and not 40 damage.
This damage applies to all mobs, whereas bane damage only applies to one specific type (Lizardmen, Summoned, Undead etc) and, afaik, is an unresistable bonus.

As you can see from this list, the BAH is the 21st best tradeable 2HS in the game, based on PURE RATIO (notice I ommited stats). This is without calculating in its +4 magical bane damage bonus. As a 44/48 weapon, this jumps up to #6 on this list. (To be 100% accurate, the 44/48 BAH ties the Savage Stone Axe for 6th place, as they both have a 1.09 ratio. The Craslith, which is #5, has a 1.04 ratio.)
Again, based on pure ratio, versus magical enemies, this weapon is the 6th best TRADEABLE 2HS in the game. If you discount #3, which is the Reaver, which is a non-magical weapon, and would probably only connect on your grandma on a bad day, this goes up to #5...and then realizing that every other weapon above the BAH is obscenely difficult to get (look at the zones they're in...4 from Cazic Thule, 1 from Dragon Necropolis, 1 from Skyshrine), you're looking at the best cost/ratio weapon in the game right here.
Not bad for a smithed weapon. =D

When thinking about a shadowknight 2 hander higher delay is often a factor with doing much more DPS. If you have spell haste, and are casting say, spirit tap, and are using a 2 hander with over 40 delay, you can effectively swing, cast tap, swing, cast tap, etc without missing a beat. Our taps aren't the best for damage to mana ratio, but often make a huge difference in DPS. This is going to be more important for the 60+ DD spells in PoP.
Now if they would only fix the bug where a proc interrupts casting i would be happy.

lv54 dorf warrior...went screwing around in the bazaar arena.
after getting focus from a shammy, i was procing this around 3-4 times per minute of melee. the proc was never resisted. not sure of the gear on the guy I was bashing up on, but he was a lv60 "duke" class pally....
of course, i had aego and buffs from the pally, but yes, the pally went running thru the gates...especially after the near 400 crips =)

Ok tell me this..one of these in the hands of a 52 SK with SCWH, 50% haste chanter buff celerity, and boon of garou which adds 100 to dex and 40 to your attack and also gives you a 30 life tap proc in itself...do the math for me plz cause i have no idea what the formula is and I am very curious what the delay would end up being. With the boon that would put my dex over 200. How often do you suppose this thing would proc in a 1-2 minute fight with that high of a dex. If anyone has some info it would be great cause i am considering purchasing one on Veeshan server.

Haste cap between 50 and 53 is 74%
SCHW = 22% haste.
72% total haste on a 48 delay weapon...
Effective hasted delay = 48/1.72 = 27.907
rounded UP, it's effectively a 40/28 weapon.
i.e. you'll attack with the Halberd every 2.8 seconds instead of every 4.8.

"...come back here ya coward! I'll bite yer kneecaps off..."
I don't know about the Harberd, but I have the short sword (8dmg 20dly +2magic)with 152 dex and it procs about 2-3 per 1-2 minute fight. Now, the halberd is more than twice as slow, so we could say that it might proc 1-2 per 1-2 minute fight. That might increase with boon to about 2-4 times per fight.
P.S. Dex gives you an extra chance for a weapon to proc, it doesn't directly dictate how many time it will proc in a certain time.

Vorok, the mighty Orc Hunter.
I've always found that slow 2hders proc more than fast 1hders (or even fast 2hders)
In a single fight where I am only melee damage, my records with my last 3 2hders;
Felhammer - 10x (repeated this twice)
Doljonijiarnimorinar - 7x (I admit I had the axe a lot less time so maybe it could have gotten closer, the proc was more likely to be resisted than smite tho)
Zealot's Incarnadine Sword - 5x (to make matters worse whenever it did multiple procs it seemed that 3 would always follow each other real closely, good for DD'd not so good for DoT's like soulbond)
These were without Dex buffs, with Boon of Garou I'd expect a much higher figure.
So I would say, from my experience, that the Halberd will proc plenty very likely matching and more so the faster one handers.

To add to my post, my theory seems to be flawed 
I picked one of these up last night to test.
Either I was very unlucky or the Batteries were flat on mine
Because even with boon of garou I had no more than 3 procs a fight, that's 208 dex.
Not really what I wanted, the damage output is nice tho' and I recon would have been even better if I hadn't been in SS where everything seems to have very high MR, so negating the +4 Magic Damage.
Still it looks great but I am going to stick with Felhammer.

Well the Helberd can be made I just made on one Tribunal. The items listed on Eqtraders isn't quite right. What you need for the final combine is.
1 Black Acrylia Temper
1 Sheet of black Acrylia
1 Helberd Head Mold
1 Oak Shaft
No Pommel mold or flask of water is needed. As is listed before making a helberd or BA ingreadents.

Well if its a matter of the combine working or not, I once heard a rumor about a forge that will always do a successful combine in a zone inside of Warsilks Woods called Dalnir (i think alot of cresent monk armor dropped there).
Anyways...I was in the zone once and we got in to a area where a named sarnak was and just before him in a path on the right...there was indeed a forge, now whether the combines actually never fail is unknown to me but while clearing the mobs from there and roamers you would have about a 5 minute break (maybe more) between pops, certainly try some 40ish level forge combine with a lvl 1 skill to see if they work you know it is fact on the no fail forge myth.
hope that helps some smithers out there.

okay just checked the map of Dalnir, and on the map of the third level, where it says #10 the description down below says
"10. "Forge Room" with Coerced Smith and "Always Works" Forge
So maybe it is no myth at all and if so, just get a group of high levels to keep the area clean (and maybe get some loots) while you click away making stuff.

Lol.
If the "Always Works" forge actually always succeeded on a combine, there'd be a 24/7 line clear out to Warslik's Wood of people waiting to use the thing.

Black Acrylia is found in Acylia Caverns (50+).
Vial's of distilled mana can be summoned by enchanters (and require moderatly expensive components).
Akheva blood can be found in Maidens Eye (50+) off 4-arm mobs, which are approximatly level 55-57. Assuiming it also drops in Vex Thal.
Essence of Darkness can be found on a few things, but I get them pretty regularly off Centi Dators and Transient Patrollers in Akheva Ruins (50+).
Hope that helps.

Requires 2 Sapphires and a poison vial for the vial of mana summon, since you need 1 to make the sheet metal and 1 to make the weapon, that makes 4 sapphires. With 255 CHA it costs 420pp for all 4 of them at 105pp each.
Invest in a runed mithral bracer when you make the distilled mana. The reagent conservation focus effect will come in handy.

I have 2 reagent conservation III items, neither of which has gone off whil summoning mana vials... irksome.
I've summoned at least 300 vials of different types, no effect has happened. Once in a while when casting rune or summoning pet it will trigger. Not trying to burst anyone's bubble. I always start with matching amounts of vials and gems, it would be easy to notice.

i got one on Cazicthule its very nice... i had 18 people comment me on how cool it looks and how good the stats are (ive been keeping tallys since i got it, hehe). i like it alot, and it goes great with schw, even tho there are better haste items out there, its still nice. my dex is around 90 and it procs at an average of once per mob. the effect is a 45 damage lifetap. i have no clue about the 4 magic damage, but i guess its nice to have. bought this for 13k. i like it and i plan on using it alot.

Hello friends.
I am curious. For you master Smithy's out there. I am on the Zeb server. My question is, if someone was to bring the ingredients to a smithy, what would the charge be to combine and make the Halberd? As I reside in a smaller Guild we do not have a Gm Smithy. Just curoious.
Thank you for any info.

When you ask most tradeskillers to do this, they'll tell you they have to charge such prices to prevent you from turning around and reselling the thing.
They tend to be a bit sensitive about the subject - all of them have a horror story about how "helping someone out" drove down the prices on their items and made tradeskills unprofitable. They probably have a good point, too.
Suggestion? Make friends with a GM smith. Good friends.

Find a smith who is high enough in skill to be able to reliably make this.. Say 239 plus with geerlock / gm trophy (or lower if they have more mods to blacksmith skill and can get their effective skill to 252+ (ok, some people say 255, leave that call to you))
Then ask them if they would hit combine for the chance of a skill up.. No cost to you, no cost to them.. This will usually work..
Other than that, your at the mercy of the prices charged by the people you meet, ive seen people ask for 4k just to hit combine.. Don't even bother with that (and don't insult them about it, they got their skill high enough the hard way, its only reasonable to make some money back, I however think the chance of a skillup, is enough payment personally).

I don't know about the pricetag, but I am interested in making these. I guess I'll hang around the forge mass-producing armor for a few days while I get the skill up.
Getting to 250 skill is not easy at all/ However as a GM of any trade you can make quite a good living making things for other players. Which works out, since EQ has its own internal economy. It's a shame how many people stop working their skills once they reach 100ish.
Not to knock anyone making a living off 10slot Backpacks, FP armor and SoW potions. That's how I paid for most of my tradeskill working *lol*

Why with 26% haste would the Delay not be 35.52 (rounded to 36)?

The "Black Acks" are a new line of swords made by high level blacksmiths. There are other black acrylia weapons in addition to this one. They have a very good damage ratio, and should soon become popular. Here are the stats of some others, according to EQTraders.com:
Weapon del dam other Bl. Acrylia Bastard Sword 30 14 +2 magic damage Bl. Acrylia Scimitar 22 10 +1 magic damage Bl. Acrylia Long Sword 25 12 +2 magic damage

It is in deed a 45 point LT (takes 45 from the mob and gives it to you) not 125. For those of you saying the smiths are being greedy charging 10-15k, you go out and skill up to 250 in smithing. BTW it is NOT trivial at 250 :)
1 post
thatd be a 45pt lifetap PvE, 39PvP
Bane damage and elemental damage work the same: They are factored into the base damage of the weapon.
A lamentation (9/19) with 4 bane dmg becomes a 13/19 weapon vs. the mob type specified in the bane dmg bonus.
In similar fashion, a lamentation with 5 fire dmg will become a 14/19 weapon when fire is not resisted heavily by the mob being attacked.
Were it not so, you would see things like the listed Dmg Bonus where they would both 1) increase as you level and 2) be larger numbers.
This is all my theory, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works. Why else would the acrylia rapier be 9dmg 20dly? it has 2 magic dmg on it, making it an 11/20 weapon which I think is a tad more realistic, and fits in line with Verant's desire to randomize damage done a litte more so as to not make everything so easily calculated (i.e. keep battles from becoming a bunch of number crunching). Otherwise, you'd also see a new playable class: Statistician.

l33t pwn'in since '82
I've been told the proc on this is like 120dmg lifetap. I thought it was a 45dmg lifetap. Anyone confirm?
l33t pwn'in since '82
They are likely thinking of the Acrylia Handled Broadsword, which is in a class of its own really. (100 point lifetap + healing/casting AAs would account for the 120 perception perhaps.)
Alright, here's some info on these little puppies.
Essense of darkness, drops like hotcakes off ROBED Xi in ME.
Akheva Blood, seems to be a rare drop off four arms in ME.
Brick of black acrylia, common drop in Acrylia Caverns, seemed to get one out of every 2 mobs.
Awesome weapon, but, the items required to make it are easilly farmed up. Buying the rest of the items from there is around 200p per attempt. I completely respect smiths for developing up such a hard skill, but, charging 9800p profit for a 200p item seems almost rediculous. Granted, it will fail 2 out of 3 times, meaning it costs 600p for each, sometimes less if your lucky, sometimes more, either way, it doesn't get above 1k for each success. I would personally charge 5k to 6k for each weapon. So there's the lowdown on the Black Acrylia weapons.

If you are being charged more, go farm some up, and find out if any of your friends are smiths, make a few deals with a smith, bring them 20 of each, tell them after the first successfull combine they can keep anything after that, and bamm, you got yourself a weapon, and you'll understand how hard it is to do.

Had a guy who let me check this out in the trade window, nice item. He claimed to have paid 15k for it. Next day I see one for sale in auction, so I send a tell asking the price. This guy responds with 45k. I ROFL him and ask him why 45k, he says because it si so rare. LOL !!! When they get so common that the price drops to about 5k - 8k then you will see me carrying one, but for 15k I can find alot better. You guys that craft these things should rethink your pricing just a bit, selling 2 for 15k is not as good as selling 20 for 5k.
"selling 2 for 15k is not as good as selling 20 for 5k"
If this item cost nothing to make, and never failed, that statement would certainly be true. However, since it takes 2 bricks of black acrylia, and 2 black acrylia tempers per attempt, the componets cost is pretty significant.
In order to make 20, you would need : 40 bricks of black acrylia, 40 essence of darkness, 40 akheva bloods, and 40 distilled manas ,assuming no failures. Since I hear that these fail about 50% at 250 skill, double that. Now you are up to 80 of each of these items. That would either be about 100hrs of camping, or 80k+ in materials.
Well, that leaves you with 20kpp profit.
On the other hand, to make 4 attempts, you'd need 8 of each or about 8k in materials. That leaves you 22k profit, and a WHOLE lot less time spent making them. And its better to sell 20, WHY? 10 times the work, less profit. Plus the market gets flooded faster, driving prices even lower.

Ummm... 80k plus? What world do you live in? I just pointed out that it's only 200p per attempt. And given the 1 out of 3 tries success rate, it's STILL only 600p. Charging 5k means your still making WELL over 2/3rd's profit on the item. Btw, lvl 60 druid/bard/wiz/necro/shammy can easilly solo up ALL of the required peices outside of the bricks themselves. Which, you'll note are COMMON drops in Acylia Caverns. A full group capable of doing hands in KC can do entrance of AC no problem. 3 hours time invested, you got about 1 stack of bricks, maybe more.

First off, the how does your simple mind come up with 200pp???
At 110 Cha, (all thats needed for that best price you will get) the sapphires alone are 420pp for two vials of Distilled mana.
OK so the is a lil more then double your attempt at belittling the time effort and trouble a GM Smith has put forth to get to the point where he MAY be able to make 1 of 3 combines. Not to mention the time and effort he/she put into gathering the other not so common drops.
That all said, Gawd I would hope that you are as lame in game as you are here. And I Pray to Brell that you seek me out for your very own Halbard with the items in hand. So I can be the one that tells you to take a flying leap at a rolling donut.

Exactly =), 250 skill is hard to get, and even then it fails. Most smithes won't make banded because it isn't enough of a money maker, if these dropped to 5k, it would be the same type of thing.

These are currently going for about 10 to 15k on my home server, Ayonae Ro. I personally have made 3 of these myself now, 2 for friends and 1 for sale. Traded it for a Silvery Belt of Contention.
Recipe can be found on:

Look under Smithing - Weapon Recipes. The recipe itself is towards the bottom.

how do you make the weapon tell me i am selleon on the 7th hammer give me a tell
These are currently going for 20k on the Innoruuk server. There are very few players who CAN make them and even fewer that are making them. ATM there's roughly 1 dozen on the server, and only 1 was not made by me (that I am yet aware of)
These are really pretty awesome weapons. with the +4 mag dmg they can dish out a lot of damage and the proc is pretty good too.

ok i got my eyes set on makin one of these so i did some reaserch to find out what i need. my skill is only 170 so im only going to try once now and if i fail then spend a lot of lvling my skill. ok anyway this is it
you need a sheet of black acrylia, a black acrylia temper, and the weapons mold- according to EQTC.
to make the temper you apperantly need 1 essence of darkness, 1 akheva blood and 1 vial of distilled mana- this is brewing, not smithing lol and it says its trivial at 140ish
To make the sheet im kind of guessing so post if you know beter but i heard there is blackend ore (or something like that) that drops in the acrylia caverns (200pp per block on my server im told, and in high demand which means it must be good for something) and to make a sheet of metal you need 2 small bricks of the ore and a flask of water(mabye a temper insted).
Something they added with the last patch was the ability to make a block into a large brick and that into a small brick and down to pieces by placing a chizle and the ore in a forge, i forgot if u need water or something.
Again im not 100% sure on it but meh, sounds reasonable. Good luck on it and sorry for typin so much =P

The sheet requires a temper as well, so on no failures, you need 2 essensce, 2 blood, 2 mana vials and 2 small bricks of black acryllia.
This is not trivial at 250 skill, so with 170 skill you might have 20% at most, and more likely only the 5% chance that you would have at 0 skill anyway. If you do have the components, you are probably better off trying to locate a GM smith.

"Magic damage works just like damage bonus, therefore the +4 is added to the total of the actual damage output. (If you hit the mob for 50 dmg and it fails a save on magic you will do 54 dmg)
Bane damage is where the actual modifier is added to the actual damage on the weapon. "
I don't see how this can be... with my argent protector 42/49 I hit for 257 max and with the halberd I hit for 266 (this is what a 57 hybrid will hit for with narandi's lance btw a 44dmg weapon), this just doesnt add up if magic damage is added at the end since the AP has both higher damage and a higher damage bonus

the way the magic/fire/cold etc and bane damages work is this:
IF it says magic 4, or bane undead 4. then it is calculated as if it was part of the weapons damage statistic. (damage x2, adds to damage bonus etc)
IF it says magic +4, or bane akhevan +4. Then the damage is added as a whole number to every blow. It is not calculated into the weapon , nor is it subject to damage midigation. the + damage type work just like procs. (generally think of them as rasing the minimum weapon damage)

this item is NOT trivial at 250 smithing. so at 155 there is almost no way to make it. I tried 3 times for other BA weapons at 233 and failed all 3 tries. with 252 smithing the success rate is about 40-50%.

If the effect is a level 12 spell, will this proc at level 12? If so, this would be a very sweet twink weapon, even if it's a tad ugly! :)

Proc starts at level 45, I believe. That is also the recommended level on the item.
