how much would this thing cost less?
I believe I looted this off of Greater Spurbone.
It is a very rare drop, however.

I noticed that it states on info here that this sword is found on Apparitions. While heading to back bridge in CoM, a "green con" Golem got in my way and this dropped off it. I now use it on my warrior. Nice sword, decent damage for her. Looks like it weighs a ton welded but it weighs just a little over a stone.

a stone is roughly around 14lbs iirc, thus eq weighs items in lbs not stones.

This sword has helped me a long way. I love this weapon with all of my heart, I could not see myself replacing it with anything, but I know that that day will have to come sooner or later. Until then I can tell you this sword is A+ for lvls 1-25. Happy Hunting
1-25?? I don't know how rich you are, but I couldn't afford this at level 25, much less level 1. I'm using it on my 41 Ranger (with a venomous axe) and I love it.

Which is in your opinion better?
The Green Jade Broadsword features:
11 dmg/25 delay, Str+8, Sta+8, SvP+10, SvD+10
The Centi Shortsword features:
12 dmg/25 delay, Str+5, Sta+5
Does the slightly better stamina and strength as well as the decent saves make up for the one point less damage in comparison to the centi?

I'd still go GJB over centi.
my reason is the wieght. ive used both and notice when i use centi my stam goes down faster then GJB.
but my opinion only. its also the reason why i dont use a wurmslayer either. too heavy.

Since this board got way off topic here, lemme save people some time so they
don't have to wade through all of it:
As with most items in City of Mist, this is a random drop off of random MOB. If you want one, you're just going to have to keep killing everything in sight, and then hope to get lucky.
I have been killin here in groups the last couple of days, and I haven't seen this one yet. We got a Wrait Bone 1HB which was not bad, and a whole lot of that ruined armor pieces which we usually let rot.
But as is stated below, this is a zone for quest and exp. Loot is a fortunate by-product, but will require lots of patience and luck. And helpful if you bring your friends. At least on Bertoxx there are many times this zone is completely empty, or a couple of guild groups already setup. It often takes some luck to get into a drop-in group.
My $0.02. Hope it helps.

Upon giving it to my ranger, putting it in my offhand in place of the SSOY, I kept quite a good deal more of stamina, which suprised me as it was only about a 3WT difference. I'm hoping to by somthing to replace my Wurmslayer soon in order to hopefully become more effective, maybe a Centi Longsword. Then I will see if the Green Jade Broadsword will work better in which hand...

Me and another shaman friend (lvl 47) were camping the stables for the 6 letters we needed for the shaman epic. We finally got a monk friend of mine, lvl 51 to come help us out. The pulls went much faster. So fast, in fact, that there were a trail of corpses littered all along the stables... I went to clean up from a skelly and see the Green Jade Broadsword. I looted it, because it wasn't no drop or anything and asked my buddies did they want to roll for it. They said no, because they know I have a 42 ranger that needed the weapon BADLY.
Which segues to my next point. If I were in a group of strangers there is NO DOUBT IN MY MIND that I would have rolled for it. It wouldn't have mattered if I had an alt or anything, because in my mind, that's the way the game is played. If we had a tank in our group that needed it.. well, he'd better be a lucky SOB, or know how to beg like a champ from whomever wins it if he/she doesn't. Otherwise, SOL.
You play with strangers, you CANNOT expect anything. Same as EQ as in the real world. Anything else, to quote Blade, is just sugar coated topping. Expecting someone just to be nice is just silly. That's almost the equivalent to having noobs in gfay bug someone to give them plat.

I know this is an old post and blah blah blah, but i like to think of myself as an extremely generous person and if i happen to get something i cant use on myself (54BL) or my alts a bard and warrior i will give it away to someone.
and as long as they meet my criteria of being nice, not obsequious then they can have it. and there is nothing better than seeing a newb or low level person get something they can use, rather than just being another item to go into bazaar trader mode. i could have happily made several K selling my gear in bazaar but i prefer to give it away if i dont need it.
anyways back to topic my warrior has this in offhand and centi ss in main. just to get his 1hslash up to scratch. its not a bad weapon, but sure its better the higher you get since my warrior is only 25

Camped CoM with 3 others for about 6 hours yesterday. Got 1 Wu's Quivering, 1 Sainy Claws?? (Bard only weapon - could SEE golem holding it while fighting!)and 1 of these swords. Sword went immediatly to a Paladin in group (NBG!) and I lost the roll on the Wu's with a 95 beating my 93 (ouch!)!! Later that night went back and got 1 Wraith Boned Hammer. Killled an uncountable number of spawns, but not a bad day in EQ with these drops.

I was in CoM last night with a few guildies... 51 Monk, 46 Druid, and a 35 Pali... and we got one of these off of a Greater Spurbone after single pulls in the Stable area for about 45 minutes. After I won the roll, we proceeded to single pull for another 2 hours or so and... POP!... another Greater Spurbone with the same wep! My Pali friend was extremely excited at this, considering I beat him on the first drop with a roll of 33 to 31 (/random 100).
In 4 hours we managed to get 2 GJB's, 1 Trance Stick, and 1 Wraith Bone hammer drop while single pulling to the same spot by the stables. The extent of the MoB's were skellies, shadows and apparitions, golems, and the occasional phantom or ooze.
As far as the wep, I don't know if I'm the lowest level ever to get one by killing for it, but by getting the GJB I found something that compliments my newly-purchased Centi Longsword extremely well. Getting 16 str and sta from your weps is an excellant bonus at my level... especially when I'm not the "richest warrior in the army"...

This weapon is what I have been looking to get for my warrior for some time. If a warrior has better it should not auto to him...how would you feel if someone else got it auto for cash when you could use it yourself.

That's the thing about NEED before greed. If a warrior has better then they don't NEED it - roll on it. If you WANT this for a twink or to sell for money you don't NEED it either - again, let the roll decide - unless the warrior (or pally or ranger) doesn't have better :)

Honestly Alts should not get any gear. Unless it is No Drop. Ur not playing ur Alt, so u dont get to loot it. if this was the case Why not just make a alt for all the classes and say " ohh ohh I have a alt. He can use it." sounds like a greedy noobie to me. If it's ubber gear anyway, u should know ur in the area it drops. U must know what drops in that area ur in. If u in a all WAR drop area. What are u thinking, that ur alt will get all the gear. D: Don't be greedy. Have FuN
To an extent I agree with you. However how many times has a caster lost out on a robe due to rolling and a warrior got it? Or a druid loses out to a Cleric on something the cleric cant even use?
The only time NBG comes into effect now is if it is No Drop and/or class Specific.
Then again, even the Class Specific doesnt go very far. I have seen more druid only items sold by anything BUT a druid.
I have seen more robes sold by warriors and more swords sold by necros.
These people go there to get the loot to get the items they need.
A Magician loots a weapons, sells it and buys Jade Inlaid Spaulders (or something else they need).
A druid does the hero Bracer quest so he has money to buy the Elder Spiritist Vambracers.
Its a circle.
While I am not for farming, it is a way of Everquest life, and there is really nothing that can be done unless items become No Drop, or Verant enacts a way to not trade with PCs.
Such as the only way to get an item would be to loot it, or buy from a merchant.
That would stop alot of farming. That would make alot of people upset, but you know what? I could care less if that happens.
from a merchant, a Centi Long Sword is the same price as a Fine Steel Morning Star. Go figure.
If Verant wants the farming to be stopped, then they will do something to stop it.
In the meantime, let the farmers do what they do best, and just enjoy the game.
BTW, I am not a farmer. I dont have the patience...I killed Oowomp 3 times with no drops before giving up....made another campers day = )
Take care everyone and if you are on Torv server, go ahead and say hello...Some already have = P

That is exactly how it goes. Get item, sell or trade to receive your class piece. I agree with you, NBG all day. That is some f*cked up sh*t when peeps in a group would deny a specific or usuable piece they cant use, to a fellow group mate who,has not only a lesser item, but is the only one who needs/uses it. hmm that last one make sense? Anyways...

what a bunch of freakin idiots you all are. im not sayin im a light but when something drops, and either my class or race cant use it i just SHUT UP and tell the group that i wont roll on it cause i cant use it. if ur stupid main cleric has a friggin alt tank, why should your level 12 pally get the friggin uber item before a level 55 warrior who could use it.
the game is made so that one character gets his own stuff by himself and uses whatever money he has to buy FOOD or JEWELRY. Its not made so that your main gets stuff for your alt

There are certain things that EVERYONE in the group should roll on. Items this rare for particular classes should go to that particular class. Ran, Pal, or War should be the only ones to roll on this item, just like casters should be the only ones who roll on rare caster items. Follow this principle, spread this principle, LIVE this principle and the game will be alot more fun for all...including yourself
Exactly what caster items drop in here? (other than from the reavers) - a crappy ring and a couple crappy staves (even by twink standards)
Unless you are here hunt FOR you friends, those casters that are mezzing/hasting/nuking/healing are out in the cold for loot. Better think about including them on the loot unless you want to solo this place.

people generally hunt in CoM for experience, not for loot. the very rare nice drops are just an added bonus. i sure as hell don't roll on caster robes and gear when it drops, and i would expect the same behavior from casters. there's plenty of places where caster gear drops and melee gear doesn't. what goes around comes around.
.
think the piuc is big enough lol
anyways i think tht NBG is good to a point adn should be used in certain areas and certain items
k let sayw e r camping a tbb from guk
we have a 35 necro 40cleric 53 cleric (with is 45 war on dif acount) 45 war (that one) (btw cleric isnt in grp just there to make sure his war aint dieing) 40 ranger 41 chanter and a 37 mage
k now this is a 3k item and cmaping this (unlesu u have good puller) is not realy for exp
lets say the necro wins roll do u think he dervs it yes do u think he needs it no
now is hes an ass he will keep it no matter waht anyone says
but who needs it mroe the 40 ranger or the 45 warrior the 40 ranger the warrior has an ubber who can buy it easy
r u following what i am saying u have to look at each sit. diferent not all the same cnat say all item should go nbg if so u would have a thousand warriors cmaping the tbb and all dieing casue they have no one to nuke mes and heal and dot so you have to go roll on alot of stuff
but alot of time u hvethe usuals who r there all the time they get the magus grp sometimes andsometimes a tbb grp
i know that necro would have been fgbhndfj`kgh off if a SMR dropped and he lost roll to a warrior andthe warrior refused to just let the one swho needed the roll get it bah thew warrior could buy a fbss and a tbb with that cash forma SMR but he gives it to the saem necro who gave away a 3kitem to himbecasue he needed it now wouldnt the necro be just betain himself over the head if he had kept the tbb
my point is it should be roll on items (unless its a set grp of friend blah blah blah u know what i mena) and if the winner is a caster and the caster is a nice person he will give that tbb to the warrior/ranger and soemday the favor will come back (i have given away 2k+ to ppl not al at once but oevr time and one day i helped a poor littel gnome out when she was lost in akanon gues what she had a 60 necro logged her on next day proted to my location got somone to track em and just traded me 1k for being nice to her for no reason blew my mind since then i have always went out of my way for this is a game and the friendlyer ppl r the mroe fun it is) to them and in a greater quanity
so liek i said roll on stuff keeps the grps without 6 war and 6 druids and 6 chanters and 6 clerics all grped liek that but be nice for ist a game to have fun with

I agree 100% with the person who stated NBG should only be used when with friends and/or guildmates.....and then ONLY up to a point! I have 2 mains....a 59 cleric and a 53 warrior. Now which char do you think everyone wants to join in the group when given the choice. DUH!
Consequently, my warrior has yet to ever be on a planes raid, and anywhere else that decent warrior gear drops has been very rarely traveled.
So when I'm somewhere and cobalt drops....DAMN right I want a chance at rolling on it. I've got all my hate and fear gear for the cleric. There is NO reason for me to spend 8+ hours there unless it's to accompany someone I want to be around...OR if I can also bring my warrior in and have them partake in rolling, even when he's not the active char being played. Or just maybe sell the uber item and buy the cobalt boots from the necro selling them in EC! what the heck difference does it make!!

There is NO reason for me to spend 8+ hours there unless it's to accompany someone I want to be around...OR if I can also bring my warrior in and have them partake in rolling, even when he's not the active char being played. Or just maybe sell the uber item and buy the cobalt boots from the necro selling them in EC! what the heck difference does it make!!

First, to the poster above the one I am replying to. It's obvious you're greedy. Probably wrote that message out of rage, and greed. Can't spell, can't type, have extremely poor grammer.
Yes, a caster should be able to roll for their FBSS, just like a warrior should be able to roll for a shimmering robe. BUT NOT ALWAYS.
As the poster I'm replying to stated people many times know of your other characters one way or another -- you told them, they're in guild, whatever -- and will request the NEEDED class. If you're not "in the loop" you will NOT HAVE AN ABUNDANCE of clerics, pullers, main tanks, etc. So when in hate, the CLERIC COMES! I have a 48 monk, 51 necro, and 51 druid myself so I know *exactly* what this person is saying.
ALSO TRUE. Im a officer in a guild and it never fails. Get some level 18 jerkoff in the guild who is wearing a brigadine tunic complaining they need gear. Someone who obviously has begged their gear to begin with, and wants to beg now for the Ring of the Ancients (as an example). K, that is what is commonly referred to as BULLSHYT. NO character of mine (3 active, i've had FIFTEEN) have EVER had journeyman's boots, OR planes drops, OR velious tailored armor, OR velious quested armor, OR ANY HASTE ITEM. Why? Because of too nice people in my guild pressuring me to help people, and I'm 4 stone overweight at level 48 on my monk now because of it.
I help people who
A) play regularly
B) aren't greedy self centered dips that soak you for what yer worth, and then go to the next guild C) people I trust would help me if they were in a position to
All-in-All what I'm saying is this. level 50 such and such and I camped the Ancient Cyclops in the ocean of tears a few weeks ago. Such and such was there for THEIR RING, I understood this, came, made some exp and helped. A snide remark about a level 9 alt was mentioned. I have 2 RAID LEVEL characters who can use this quest, are mains, and have vested time into this camp. That level 9 alt WILL NEVER LOOT the ring of the ancients before me or anyone in a similar position.
The guy who I'm replying to posting about his cleric is in a position to allow their warrir to role, but ALSO TRUE, the raiding party likely knows this person ---- much more difficult to convince a pick up group you never met before down at the frenzy camp that your shaman needs a fbss when the warrior next to you is sitting in crafted head to toe, dual wielding ssoys (all very out dated gear). EXPERIENCED players make this sort of judgement call, NOT you freaks out there who just want to sell stuff so you can have 50 more mana.
This is what people are meaning when they say NBG with some exceptions. The exception is NOT so you can run off and have the sweetest looking little vah'sir beastlord when luclin comes out. If you have that attitude, I will go out of my way to kill steal you.. and believe me, one way or another, I can and will.
On one occasion before the cumulative party damage was put in, a wizard was KSing me and 2 friends in the gorge as we tried for out polished bone bracelets. Know what I did? Cleric, druid (me), and bard went ahead and MR buffed out the wazoo, let the wizard nuke.. it charmed him, and I let ALL my DDs rip that wizard apart. Cleric and bard soon followed suit. The group camping eye opposite of us cheered cuz this jerk was doing same thing to them.
Anyways I don't need to write a novel.. already started chapter one, so until next time.. if yer a greedy newb, or just scrouge, do NOT even think about coming near me. I've gone as far as to port people to opposite continents they pestered me for a port to goto and then logged. (yea, sucks huh? such a jerk I am.. guess what? when I want to move my necro I use my druid to bring him 200pp to buy a port. cuz druids and wizards have things to do to. believe it or not but spending a bubble of mana, zoning, possibly loosing your camp etc etc IS NOT WORTH IT FOR 10PP). Anyways..I'm done.

As a wizard its hard to go for things that drop uber rare weapons and not get a chance to roll for them. However, we dont usually have to roll for our spells either. I mean we cant use a weapon on our alts that has been denied to someone's main THATS JUST NOT FAIR!! But for all the melees that think we are all greedy jerks your wrong totally. Its just hard to see something that is uber drop and u not even get a chance to roll but all the casters should also understand that there are items for them that will be denied to melees as well.
This is also vice versa for tanks wanting caster gear that is needed by a caster in their group.
probably doesnt make since to post this here but I just get ticked off when people dont understand how hard it is to see something awesome go away with out a chance to get it.
THE ONLY GREEDY PEOPLE ARE NINJA LOOTERS!!!!

Lammies would be much better. At 30th level, you're starting to get up to where speed is very important for taunt and maximum efficiency with regards to damage bonuses, because damage bonuses are a set number, rather than a percentage. Even with haste, 25 delay weapons feel slow to me, and slow means less taunt. But if you want to hear the truth, I'd recommend Jade Maces over Lammies- their lower delay creates more taunt and more damage per minute (DPM), even when you factor in the extra 6 strength from the Lammies. Don't believe me? Okay, a bit of quick math.
A Jade Mace has delay of 18, while a Lammy has delay of 19. This means that a Lammy takes 5.6% longer to hit than the mace does. Let's assume that your DPM with the mace is 400 (just a nice round number for illustration purposes), and that you have no haste. The mace would hit 33.33 times per minute, doing 12 points of damage per hit. The Lammy would hit 31.58 times per minute, and to match the 100 points DPM of the mace, it would have to do 12.68 points of damage per hit, or 5.6% more damage per hit than the mace. It has to accomplish this increase in damage by adding 6 strength. This would be all well and good, except that you can't get a 5.6% increase in your attack by adding 6 strength. I ran this test on a damage calculator found at http://www.geocities.com/luthairsite/weaponCalc.html Using the defaults of no damage bonus, level 50, 200 skill, and 100 strength. With 100 strength, you would have to increase your strength by about 40% to increase your DPM by 5.6%! Think about that. Let's say you're a standard warrior with, say, 180 strength. 6 strength would be a 3.33% increase in strength- it would make no noticable difference in damage output or taunt. The mace does more damage over time than the Lammy, period.
Plus, on top of all of this, the Jade Mace is faster than the Lammy, which creates more taunt, because speed almost always beats damage for taunt. If it didn't, all warriors would be using their warrior-only Sarnak Battlehammers and such (30 damage / 40 delay), which mostly just gather dust as it is. Now, for all you lower-level warriors out there who love their high-damage, high delay weapons because they hit hard, I'm going to tell you a secret about high-level tanking...you're not there to do damage! That's right! Your purpose in life is to keep the mobs from hitting the people who are there to do the damage. I'm talking monks, rogues, wizards, etc. They can humble you in offensive output, when used properly- your main objective in offense is keeping taunt. The more taunt you keep, the more times the rogue can backstab without getting spanked. The more times the wizzie can nuke the mob for disgusting amounts of damage. The more times your cleric can heal you without getting jumped, which means less downtime, which means more loot and XP for all. The total damage of the party will increase much more by you keeping agro and allowing the damage dealers to do their thing than it will by you doing a bit more damage with a stouter weapon. Remember this when you pick out your gear- you can humble all other classes in defensive output, if you shop wisely. This is what you contribute to the group, so make the most of it. Of course, if the mob has a wicked damage shield, you should try to switch to a slower, harder-hitting weapon if you can do so and keep agro- you'll take vastly less damage from the DS that way. And if you're soloing, the rules are completely different, but few warriors solo above 30- it just takes too long to regain your HP, and you often won't have enough HP to get through the fight anyway.
What's that, I'm starting to stray a wee bit off-topic? Well, I can fix that- the GJBS is just too darn slow for a higher-level warrior who is interested in maximum efficiency to use unless he absolutely MUST have the resists, such as against Trakanon, for instance. Remember, each point of a resist does far more good than a point of strength, WHEN YOU NEED THE RESISTS- if you're fighting casters or dragons or such, a few points of resists can make the difference between life and death. There are also a few other possible exceptions to the info contained in this post; I'm speaking about the great majority of the time, and your mileage may vary. Thanks for reading my long post, and good journey to you!

A Lammy is *not* a good weapon pre 45 (ish) Until lvl 45, your on hand damage bonus is not large enough to counteract the relatively low 9 dmy on the Lammy.
Whilst Warriors are not there to do primaryy damage, the damage that they do is significant and not to be overlooked.
Speed *and* damage are factors in aggro, and if this were not so, all Warriors would be out there using Gnoll Hide Lariats or whatever. I don't know what the formulae for aggro are, but I'd put a fair bet that speed and damage are pretty even, which is why a level 30 Warrior with a babs, can hold aggro over a level 30 Warrior dual-wielding Lammys. I know. I've done it.
Also, with the lack of a damage bonus to your secondary hand, the Lammy becomes a terrible secondary hand weapon. Because there's no damage bonus on your secondary hand, what you're looking for there is dmg/dly ratio, because when you hit with it, you're gonna hafta hit hard.
A Wurmslayer (Or any weapon with a raio of under 2) would make for an excellent off-hand weapon, if only it weren't primary only (which is probably why it is)

Who is to say that the Warrior (if there were any in the group) did not already have it? From the sound of it, they were just grouping, and not actually farming, so everything is up for grabs. Where do you get off saying things like this when you dont know the whole story?

Looted one last night. Was camped at the bridge near the entrance, clearing the bridge entrance, gate, cubby's (those elevated narrow parts on either side) and a couple mobs from the Courtyard. Pulled two shadows from the temple area (think it was temple...right side after goin through gate) and lo and behold one dropped. Looted it and tested, very nice weapon.

BAH! If there is a warrior IN the group that has weapons that are not better than this item it should go to them first... Who do you think kept the channeler alive? You can't tell me you don't want the mobs to drop faster and taunt off better. Warriors should have priority. NBG

this is the most silly comment i see people posting! oh, the warrior kept the channeler alive! oh wait, the cleric kept the warrior alive! oh wait! the monk pulled the mob so that cleric can help the warrior keep the channeler alive! wait, the channeler used his mana to nuke the mob so the cleric can keep some mana to help the warrior keep the channeler alive!!!
NBG goes only so far and it is utterly STUPID at times. if the mob drops only melee crap, why the heck should a cleric, wizard, enchanter, mage or anyone of those other classes bother to camp that mob with the warrior?!! HELLO! we have stuff we need to buy ourselves! oh, cobalt legs dropped! woot! off it goes to the warrior. BULL%*($! the cleric can use it to buy donals. the int casters can use the money to buy resist gear and other items to improve themselves. the only time NBG is practical is when it is a group made up of only friends that know each other and help each other out. if it is just a bunch of strangers, they better be doing /ran. for all you guys that preach NBG, i hope you guys stick with it when a 30k item drops and you have only 900pp in the bank. for the most part, very few people will do NBG on drops worth that much.

Because if they don't camp that mob with the warrior you will probably find that when they want to go camp something that drops uber gear for them, they will have NO tanks coming along to help. And don't try and tell me you can go hunt good caster drops without any tanks...
Again, if you let the classes that can use an item roll on it, I can just about guarentee you you're going to have a willing volunteer to come help you get some uber drop so you don't have to buy it for twice it's value.
feel free to flame ... just my 2cps worth...

Are you of age to be palying this game? Your idiotic ramblings made absolutly no sense... You should be shot in the face for embarassing yourself and other warriors... Please think before you post. Just becuase your warrior has sh!t for gear does not justify you taking out your frustrations on others.. If you suck, Too bad. With your aditude it's a small wonder why you don't have nice stuff.

I sure hope Inever accidentally group with a jerk like you. I never complain even when a 30k+ item drops and someone needs it. It goes to them and I hope we get something I can use. Greedy jerks like you make the game less fun for everyone.
Have fun!!

These are some basic rules about who should get any item, though many acceptions apply.
1. If the sole reason the group is hunting in the area, is to get said item, a roll is required. Everyone isn't required to wait long hours just so you can get the item because you can use it and the Monk can't etc.
2. If party is a mainly exp hunting group items found should go to person who could make most use of it, equal circumstances call for a roll.
3.If party is hunting in the area for drops and 13wt, a roll is required most of the time accept for obvious reasons. (That level 30 warr is still wearin a bronze bp, there's an uber-twinked druid in the group who doesn't need the said items anyways.)
Now this aren't the only situations but something to think about before you go flaming people. Just my opinion, take it how you like.

3.If party is hunting in the area for drops and 13wt, a roll is required most of the time accept for obvious reasons. (That level 30 warr is still wearin a bronze bp, there's an uber-twinked druid in the group who doesn't need the said items anyways.)
Now this aren't the only situations but something to think about before you go flaming people. Just my opinion, take it how you like.

Been in CoM from lvl 40 to 45 and havent even heard of it droping. Seen 5 trance sticks tho.Is the drop rate different server to server?
#Anonymous,
Posted: Jul 30 2001 at 1:24 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Think about that. Why in the @#$% would they make the drop rates of certain items different on different servers? You're just unlucky.
christ, what a bad additude. Why dont you just let people ask their questions on the messege board?

I am told that it drops randomly off any of the ghost type mobs (i.e. shadows, apparitions, wraiths, etc), and though I've never seen any drop myself it seems to usually be the shadows.. and I'm told that it increases chances to go for the deeper spawns, but this is all second-hand info :)

Today I logged on the bridge in CoM and was immediatly attacked by a shadow. So I thought well sh*t time to zone.. as im running to zone i realize that im buffed to hell and why not just try to solo it .. so i solo it with 1/4 health left .. bend down to loot and What do ya know there is a Green Jade Broadsword on the thing .. My prayers have finally been answered.. after 100+ hours of camping it i finally get it.

Why is this worth so much money (saw 9k on Rodcet) when the Cane of the Tranquil sells for 1k to 1.2k
Same dmg/dly 11/25 are the stat boosts worth 8k ??
Me just wondering

It also has to do with the fact that the cane is war-monk only so it brings the price down a little, also with the rarity fact, if you go and kill necrosis in sebilis chances are you will get one of these, but it takes a lot of time to get a GJB
1.2 weight on any warrior/pal/rng 1hs is insane if it's on a moderate damage scale. (Which this is on a darn nice damage scale) Plus its 8 strength and 8 stamina on a single hand, then on top of that ten to two saves!
The stats are incredible, the ratio is nice, and it looks great. Hence the price =)

This really has nothing to do with the cane of tran. but i am 42 war (now), was 40 when i got the sword, on Terris-Thule went to COM for the 1st time one night with a monk friend 39. Anyways we grouped with a Cle 48 and two lvl 53 war's who had been there for 2 weeks for exp and items,so they say.Making GREAT EXP and having fun we didnt get to far into the place when we killed an Apparittion blue to me at 40 and went down fast. it was about our 8th kill and i won the roll by a landslide didnt take me more then 7 mins to get this sword and it went right in my primary hand. i love it. great stats very fast,not as fast as some but fast. looks cool and its a bragging right to boot.i have only seen maybe 1 or 2 others on my server so its pretty damn rare glad to have it!!Good hunting to everyone out there hope you have the same luck as me. BTW if anyone wants to trade something for this sword im on Terris-Thule names Brakus Stormweilder. dont think itll come cheap either hehe.

Here's the skinny:
I camped CoM for something like 3 weeks to get this thing, and it never fell for me. Granted, my camping was sporadic, but I was still there, if you know what I mean.
I reckon the best place for low level folks like myself to pull to is three steps from the zone line. I don't have the words to discribe the archetecture in there, so look up a map and you'll see what I mean. Also, the zone line is the easist place to split spawns, because there is a wall that the bad guys won't come around if you do the job correctly. One kinda has to hold the mob's hand to get it to the other players, but it's still worth it. Killer exp at 40, comprable to pre-nerf DL exp. I ran through about a blue an hour with steady pulls at 40 in a full group. I think this is one of the best examples of the dungeon exp bonus really shining.
The Green Jade Broadsword must be incredibly rare: I read somewhere within this very forum that the baddies drop a rare about 1 in 50. Don't believe it. Through the groups I've been in there, I must've gone through 2000 mobs and have seen NO rares. Also, just to take a look see, I camped (again, with a full compliment) deeper in the zone, about halfway in to be exact, and pulled goos and some of the higher level golems and skeletons and what-have-you for about a week. Still neither GJB nor stick.
I finally bought the damn thing out of frustration. I have to say, I'm very happy with it as a primary weapon with a Dragonhorn Yak in my offhand. Concidering I only got it tonight, and have but solo'd a few dire wolves, I can't really see the full spectrum, but I reckon i'll see tomorow.
As far as fasion goes, this thing is killer. It lookes just like a one-handed Ornate Rune Blade, or a giant meat cleaver, or however you want to describe it, and I can't think of a better weapon to stick in a 40ish Ranger's primary hand that would suit more, either fasionwise or ratio/stat wise.
All in all, killer sword.
If you are going to camp it at 38-42, definatly get in a full group. Myself and another Ranger (also 40 at the time) did pretty chill, laid back pulls for about 3 hours one night, but it get's rough trying to duo an even fight. Yeah. Even, right. Even fight my ass.
The key to pulling in there is to remember that little wall thingy right at the zoneline: it is very very easy to split all the doubles and triples you'll pull right there. Just park or snare one or two mobs (or don't: this'll work either way), and boogie 'round the corner to the haven of your fellow Misters, and no mobs will follow. Peek around, entice one, reel him in, and kill him. Works great.
Also, Rangers and Druids, harmonizing does wonders in this zone, however: beware the unlevel ground. When I was there, I couldn't get a harmony off over a waist-high wall. The spell would just stick to me. Rangers, Monks, and ShadowKnights are preffered (as always) to pull from deep in; anyone can do it from the zone line.
Also, on a side note, all the undead see through camo, and the golems see through invis undead, and the spells don't stack, last time I checked. You're kinda screwed if you decide to poke around in this zone and sneak/hide decides to fail at the wrong time.
I hope I helped!

heehee get the right group and it's more like one yellow in about 3 hours.
the best way to do CoM IMO, is me (40 cleric) and this guy named jinbo on the lanys t'vyl server. 2 people and an empty zone, and believe it or not, decently fast single pulls and kills (cause of the wall thing). but then people come and we feel sorry for them cause it's such a secluded zone, and xp slows down and whatnot.

Ok here is the real deal on this item. It drops off anything in CoM with the exception of Reavers and named stuff inside the castle. It's all random and as is the mobs that drop them. Thank you. Boulvi Methedras 50 warrior

I dont know about you server, but on Veeshan this weap is worth like 3 times that of the Skullsplitter. I would do the trade in a heartbeat!
What? Im laggin did you say Spec? WHERE?? AHHHH RUNAWAY RUNAWAY
i take it weapons aren't visible when the MOBs are weilding them in CoM? I know some MOBs show the graphic of a weapon when they carry it, and some don't.

Braid, the reason awesome weapons are not visible because sometimes a warrior or monk could accidentally hit disarm, and probably succesfully disarm the mob, and there would go that valuable weapon.
To newbies, disarming means you don't get the weapon (oh imagine an easy way to ninja loot) nor can you loot the weapon when hes dead. It just dissapears into thin air, or if its a real person, goes into their general inventory (and I think to trick newbies, goes into a backpack if available).

You could feasibly go and solo for this at 40ish, but when we raided CoM we got roughly 1 broadsword and nothing else for every 50-odd kills, so be prepared for a long camp unless you're mid 50s or higher and cutting them down in their dozens.

I am wondering if a level 49 warrior would have too much trouble soloing these things, or would he require a partner who can heal?
The warrior belongs to a friend of mine who recently lost his Wurmslayer to an unfortunate accident in Kedge, and I am trying to find some weapons to replace it.

Just FYI, the entire zone City of Mist is random drop everything.

The minor drops (including this) are random off random mobs.
The big stuff (like MotSS, Ornate Shield, Woodman's Staff) are from the named (Lord XXXs) in the zone.

They may be a more common item off the Reavers, But my know-it-all friend, Me and my group scored one off'n a shader just this evenin. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

from anything in the zone. The one I wield came from a shadow, and I've also seen this drop from a plaguebone skeleton.

I have personally seen them drop from skelys and one shadow and one apparition. Its plain to see who the real idiot is im tired of people talking mad shyt when they dont know what the hell there talking about. Oh btw do you think that everything drops off this clown or what do us a favor find a new game that has idiots on it like you and leave the rest of the people that have a clue to this one.

I just love morons like this guy who feel the perpetual need to trash people and prove their own stupidity by using their mouth as a sh*t fountain.... No, its not dropped by reavers and FYI reavers are not magic immune.
