.. but you cannot wear the Lucky Miner's Gorget until you are level 40. Therefor this is a really nice item for melee char. even better on a PvP server.
Paladins don't HAVE to be kos to fp to get soulfire. I did the quest with a level 10 paladin and he was dubious when i was done. Simply don't help kill sir luclan and pallys are not KOS. simple enough. He is soloable by most 60+ charactors.
There are at least two situations where Paladins can obtain the Twisted Silver Torque.
First, many Paladins wait to complete the Soulfire quest until it becomes necessary as a part of their epic. Nearly all Paladins will already have a weapon substantially better than Soulfire. Since it's not needed as a weapon, there's little reason to become KOS to the Freeport Militia until Soulfire is needed as a part of the Paladin epic.
Second, some Paladins save up Left Goblin Ears from Highpass so that they can fix their Freeport Militia faction after completing the Soulfire quest. The Twisted Silver Torque quest can be done with "dubious" Freeport Militia faction.
I played my pally for several times before and found out there is no way to fix Militia Faction even if u give 2000pcs of goblin ears your still kos to them. So what I did is let someone kill Lucan for me and i loot it zero faction hit and still amiable to Militia aint that neat!!!
Um..I killed Lucan and went Kos. Factin CAN be fixed. Do the INERT POTION QUEST in erudin by way of having someone drag the Evil Slansin up to the turn in guy, you hail as he dies or gates. With your hotkeys set up you sit there for about 2 to 3 hours doing mindnumbing clik clik hail clik....til your in good with them again.
I have this and use it as a 56 sk. the drops are off the Pirates in the pirate fort in gunthak. The seals are a random drop. Fairly decent peice of gear for being so easily obtainable.
The only bad thing about this item is it's not cleric useable. Has to be an oversite on the part of VI.
Not just any pirate drops the seals, It's either plunder's or pillagers that they are more common from I honestly forget which but once ya kill a few and find one you'll figure it out. I usually just pop in when I have a few spare minutes to kill and I always leave with at least one seal.
Dunno how you could compare a spider fur collar to this. Your geting 7STA which = more HP 4Wis ok that could be a little better, and 11 AC and +10 poison. It's easier to get cold saves then poison saves. You dont find a lot of items with good poison or disease saves. This really is not to shabby for a quested piece thats really not that hard to do.
Questing when attempted in one sitting can be brutal but if you do it over the course of a few days or weeks you find it much less frustrating.
for a no drop item at this diciculty this item simply well..sucks badly
