People are complaining that they can pick up some useless junk and give it to an NPC and get a fairly decent sword? Actually at 30 it is really nice, but Whiny Ubertwink said that it sucked for his 65lvl with 1,583 AA pts! so it must SUCK! Pop on over to FV and give it to me if you hate it so much. Or just don't do the quest.

I was given one of these by a good friend. When I find one better I plan on selling this but no one has even posted a price. If anyone knows the average price of these, please post it. Thanks.

being level 53 and all i could go out and get a better sword i know. but have you ever compaired this to soulfire?

soulfire: 23/45 +7str +7wis 5.0weight magic lore no drop pal/all and ummm looks really cool.

Blessed knights defender: 23/40 +8str +3des +5wis +20hp +10mana +3 svp/svd 7.5weight magic lore pal/all

seeing as how you can't get your FA till 45 minimum and going on a dragon raid in your low 40's is like suicide this IS a pretty nice item for us who AREN'T twinked. and hell if your not in a high end guild and you just go and level and can't get your FA (which means you CAN'T do your epic) this is pretty decent till you are able to get better.

hmm.. dunno about that.

First, you can do FA after 53, you just can't get the books off naggy/vox, so you'll have to turn to gore, faydedar, sev, etc. for the books. no biggie.

I personally think this sword is a huge dissapointment, unless you're around level 30 or so. But even by level 40 you should be able to at least get an arbitor's or even an argent defender.

No, I'm not a twink, no I'm not in a 'uber' guild, but let's face it - much better weapons are out there for a very cheap price - at least on Tunare anyway.

Why anyone would want this piece after level 35 is beyond me. But thats' just my opinion.

So many people getting uppity and yammering on about "how I worked for this myself so ***** all of you people in uberguilds". <sigh> First, I'm not in an uberguild. I am guilded, but my guildmates haven't gone out and gotten me anything. Closest thing that I've ever had to that sort of situation is where a fellow guildmate and myself were in Stonebrunt and we traded items back and forth so we could both complete the Wakizashi of the Frozen Skies quest.

Anyway, what I mean to say is... "please shut your pie holes". :) If you want to be proud of questing this weapon, fine! That's great! But it doesn't change the fact that it sucks much rear for a quest of this level! Like I said... if you wanna be proud of it, great... but don't start razzing on people who complain about it.

Just because people have had better weapons than this for fifteen levels prior doesn't mean they didn't work for it. The Twilight Sea quests are utterly worthless for the difficulty involved... and by that I mean, you might as well go elsewhere and camp/quest for a better weapon, because they're out there.
Why bother...

Why trouble yourself over one of these swords when you can go get a group and camp a Strength of Grodan. It's a 41/51 +25 str +10 sta GIANT SIZED, weight 1.5 lbs. It's warrior, paladin, and shadowknight only.
RE: Why bother...
# Jun 24 2002 at 5:47 PM Rating: Decent
The chance of gettin a Strength of Grodan these days are very doubtful if your lower than 40. They nerfed the drop do a ridiculous drop rate of 1/55-75. And the SoG drops more common on the Umbral Plains and Akheva Ruins side more often of the Sambata and Toilers. That is all. My 2kpp. ;)

why bother? so the game doesn't get boring after the 1st day or say of playing...therer are things called quests for those that want to play to have fun, not just to level and get "uber" loot. it's maybe a sense of accomplishment after you get it and even just to get it, doesnt matter the stats, the fact that you got it is good enough
RE: Why bother...
# Feb 15 2002 at 7:52 PM Rating: Decent
I could agree with your point Barneby...if this quest was more than what it is. All the twilight quests just rapidly degenerate into a rather annoying scavenger hunt / tradefest. If you went from NPC to NPC and did interesting things, then yeah I would be happy with these quests and admit that they make the game more interesting than just camping for X item. But sadly these Twilight quests are more just a hassle than any kind of boredom reducer. Not that I'm griping about them, I happen to like how they did these quests. They foster interaction between players. But for pure quest value...blah. Just go get a SOG, you will have more fun with a new toy than the countless frustrating hours trying to find that random mob to drop a piece that may or may not actually drop on said random mob.

The whole point of quests is so that they are indeed hard and annoying to the point of frustration and for you to ask people around for clues and answers and help. Prime example is the "Search for the Holy Grail", This is about a quest that took months if not years (don't recall story line about how long it took, but it took a very very long time). As mentioned in some other posts... THIS is EVERQUEST!!! Key Word "QUEST". If you dont like it don't bother playing and don't bother complaining. Go back to your Nintendo or Playstation or whatever the hell other system or game you play!

If this item were of "Holy Grail" stature, it would be worth it, but a 23/40 sword for this much trouble?? You could get a 23/40 sword at level 35 off a mob rather than questing a LONG time at 45...

# Jan 12 2002 at 6:05 AM Rating: Decent
It amazes me how many people post complaints comparing items or complaining about reward for a quest. Solution is simple, if you dont like it dont buy it or quest it. That said, I personally will never use this sword already having better weapons, but I will do this quest for a few reasons A) It is EverQuest afterall and I enjoy questing B) I enjoy collecting Pally only weapons

Quite frankly if you dont enjoy questing you should find a game that doesn't have the word quest in it's name or at the very least play something other than a Pally.
RE: Fun

I couldnt agree more. Dont say anything if you dont like it and have abetter weapon. I have a Darkedged 2 hander right now which has the same dmg delay ratio, but has less stats im going to do this quest cause I like quests, and I like to actualy gain knowledge in diffrent things, so doing quests helps you gain knowledge about different items, mobs, etc.

At lv 41, I still use my 2H Mith and I get a damage bonus of 9. Now, I'm guessing that I will get the same bonus if I equip this at 41. So, to me, this becomes a 23/40 with good stats and a Damage bonus of 9. To me, that is better then the BABS. Also, 5pts of Wis. increases my mana by 40 and it has 10pts already. (so thats 50 mana) Plus, it might have a cool graphic!

Not sure what stats are on your 2H Mith, but 2 handed weapons get a bonus damage depending on delay, anything above 42 gets the maximum mod, 31 and below the minimum mod.

# Jan 08 2002 at 11:09 AM Rating: Decent
Tenebrous is not a tough zone, except that everything sees invis. There are lots of mobs that wander yes, but they are easily avoided because theres plenty of room to walk around. A guildie soloed through level 45 there, so it can't be all that hard as in 50 plus.

Scarlet Desert is a bit higher, but the same deal, the mobs are pretty easy to avoid, and really aren't all that hard.

Granted, at my level if a pally needs that weapon, he must be an ebayer or have lost corpse or something.

But it can be done lower imo, just get a few friends, and you can get good exp along the way. The friend/guildie of mine who soloed through 45 in TM, did it in 2 days, from start to finish - so excellent exp.

As far as the risk out weighing the reward, I agree with you there, as imo any 2 handed weapon is pretty much crap for any class.

I have to disagree. Two handed weapons in general are not crap. Admittedly, they are not appropriate for all classes, perticularly pure casters, since you lose the secondary item slot, and dual weilding classes, since they can usually do more damage with 2 weapons. However, for pallies and SKs, who can't dual weild, two handed weapons are great. First, the damage/delay ratios are usually better than the one handers, so damage output is increased. Second, they are usually slower, so the backup meleers don't taunt the mob off the main tank. Third, with the new damage bonuses, they are even better. Fourth, have you ever seen the crits from a 2h weapon. My warrior, who is using a mith 2h has done crits around 80-100 points, and he's only lvl 20. With the somewhat low frequency that his dual weild roll succeeds (his skill is maxxed) he does more damage with the mith2h than he does with his icetooth claws/blackened alloy longsword combo. He usually hits for 42, and when double attack goes off, can do 84 per round. He would need to succeed on BOTH dual weild and double attack to get the same damage with the 1hs. However, since he is a warrior, I often switch back to the 1hs setup if someone taunts the mob off me, as I seem to generate more taunt that way. Still it is rare that anyone taunts the mob off me at this level, even with the 2hs, unless it is a higher level warrior, or a supertwinked one with lammies.
RE: Good Weapon, but I'm passing on this quest
# Jan 09 2002 at 8:22 PM Rating: Default
obviously you dont know much about melee dmg.
In General 2h weapons do the most damage and dual wielding does less with more taunt.

I am a lvl 55 paladin using an Emperial Dizok Katana and many times my dmg output is so much that i have to stop attacking to keep agro on the MA

But i have to agree this weapon is at most ok and from what i see in the difficulty to obtain you might as well not bother.

I don't have a high level pally, nor do i know about any weapons that pallies get, but I DO have a 51 SK...and SK's get very, very, good 1h weapons. Three in particular...

1)Mace of Shadowed Souls (19/29, 10 int, 1hb)
2)Noct Blade (18/26, 10 Dex, 15 Int, 1hs)
3)Sword of Pain (19/25, 10 AC, 50 Mana, Clicky: Grim Aura (+10 Attk) 1hs)

My SK is my highest char atm, and I have had all three of these weapons (only level 51) and attained them easliy.
Now, i do believe that Strength of Grodan is amazing, but i would much rather have the stats of the 1h paired with my sbs.

SoG = 41/51, 25 str, 10 sta...
Sword of Pain with Sarnak Battle Shield =
19/25, 35 AC!, 5 str, 5 sta, 10 svs magic, 10 svs fire, 10 svs cold, +10 Attk, 40hp and 50 mana!

Any tank will tell you that Saves and AC are king. Also the ability to bash and interupt casters is VERY Handy at higher levels or at any level for that matter (epecially when the ****'s gate!). Plus the mana free, 10 attack clicky is very helpful, making the weapon itself more powerful. If you miss with a 1hs weapon, it's not a travesty either...I'd rather see this attack phase:

60, 80, miss, 46 (Bash for 29), 90, miss, 60, 77 (bash for 32)...

when in the same ammount of time...i swing the Grondan:

140, miss...,...,90 190,....,....,

I've found that i actually Deal the same ammount of damage with the 1hs...and it's not so bad when i miss, b/c i know i will attack very soon after that miss...however the delay on the SoG is over 2x more than the Sword of Pain. If I have a bad streak and miss a couple times with the Grodan I'm useless. If I'm missing with the Sword of Pain, I can still Bash for damage (if you are high enough and spent enough time in AA points you can do this with the SoG, but I'd rather have regen or run3 before 2hbash ; P)

Some say, WOW the Sword of Pain drops in Velks! I'd never get one. If you say that you're just lazy =P All it takes is patience. It is No Drop and SK only...if it drops and there are no SK's present (which is OFTEN the case) it's free. Battle Shields have dropped in Price Drastically (sp*?)

All i have to say, is if you have or have access to the Weapon/shield combo or something similar to it, USE IT instead, you'll be a better tank for it ; )

...then again i could be mentally insane and may never have even played EQ before...that's right, my name is Rupert the Bear! I live in a Mental Institution in Rhode Island! Be sure and Download CKY 1-3 Kiddies =P /wave

Yeah sks get alot of nice 1 handers, but this is just a ploy by verant to ***** yerself out of doing as much damage as you can. Now AC/resists are nice but on the whole resists/HP far outweight the ac thing, namely the higher lvl you get the less helpful that 1400 ac is, and the more you need hp help from your items. Resists are always nice, and bash well, ahh its not gonna be interupting many spells. Overall with AA pts speed of knight and knights advantage 2 hs will rock it, so better get yer piercing 2 hand slash 2 hand blunt up. Lastly 2 hand bash is a class skill lvl (59) and having already spent 6 aa in type and 12 in arch so you will have regen 3 and run3 before ya can get it...

Did you even read my post? Go back, and read the WHOLE thing this time. I know it will probably tax your mind to do so, but if you do, you will see that I explain that my warrior does more damage with his 2hs, but switches to the 1hs to increase taunt. So before you flame someone for a post, perhaps you should read their post, and understand what they said.
ti'd take this over babs
# Jan 06 2002 at 5:48 PM Rating: Excellent
sure, babs is 24/39. i know, i had one on my warrior. great ratio, sv poison is nice too.
this is an awesome weapon. 23/40 may not be as "uber" as a babs, but i'd rather have a blessed sword than some blackened alloy.
give the babs to a warrior, this is an excellent weapon for paladins.

The stats on this are very nice. The thing I think is odd, is why everyone wants to compare it to the BABS, when a mithril 2h is better IMO (unless u have an fbss). My warrior has the mith 2h, purchased for 200pp and he's only lvl 20. With the haste effect, the M2H becomes a 21/30 or 21/31 weapon, but the base delay is 40, so you get the extra damage bonus. The real nice thing about mith 2h is that you free up the waist slot for an AC item instead of fbss.

From what I have seen from the pallies I have grouped with, they are more melee than caster, so the better stats would be more important than more wisdom. I'm not saying this is not a good weapon, just would not be my first choice. Kind of reminds me of the deepwater harpoon, which is pretty decent, obtainable by a lvl 22 pally, but nobody wants, because there are so many that are better.
RE: ti'd take this over babs
# Feb 04 2002 at 8:43 PM Rating: Default
wis equals mana for paladins ya know, and unless there a high elf they can use the wis. the str is sooooo sweet, becuase if you ain't a dwarf or didn't put all you points into str at the begining us paladins are kinda weak ya know. all the other stats are just as sweet. and the 7.5 weight is great. i use a 27/42 +6str +6int proc rampage ATM and ya know what when i go back to luclin you better belive i'm going to quest for this. its a great weapon for us paladins who aren't all twink to hell or already have thier epics. sorry but thats my 2 cents.

The bottom line is, pallies are still primarily melees. Sure, more wis is nice, and strength helps, but for melee classes, weapon stats mean more. You'd be better off with something like an arbiter's combine greatsword than this. They are getting really cheap lately, and have a much higher damage output than this, plus more wis. A level 47 should have much better than this. You should have no trouble saving up the 1k or less for the arbiter's, even if you just go kill hill giants for the cash.

You run around with this sword at lvl 47 or higher, and pretty soon nobody will want to group with you, because you're not carrying your weight.

Quest it, sure, if you want the enjoyment of doing the quest. Carry it around in cities, and in the tunnel when you auction, but don't actually USE this in battle at your level.

The stats on this don't make it a good weapon, any more than the +5 str on a sarnak great cleaver keeps it from being more than merchant fodder.

Not awsome, not bad either
# Jan 05 2002 at 4:47 PM Rating: Default
First and formost, I think every true-hearted play in Everquest holds something they quest for more dear than something they buy, Although this is not always True. This quest seems perfect for someone Looking for something to hold them off until they get their Epic or some sword of that matter. Also Paladin 2hs are always being compaired with BABS, I think because it is readily avalible and easy to get, but trust me, this is better than BABS. As a bunch of people have said, the +1 Delay ends up being better than than not having it, and the -1 attack is easily made up by the STR. I am also not sure what this looks like, but I can pretty much assure you that it looks better than BABS, cuz BABS looks like a friggin stick of metal... I am ashamed to wield my BABS in Public heh... Only Thing bad on this is the Weight compaired to BABS, with the BABS you are assured, basically, never to run out of Stamina, and with this there is a possiblility, but I wouldnt worry because we all remember using a Ghoulbane, which weighed 10. Also Many times this site's Level prediction is messed up, and gives you your lvl needed to Solo, not to try, say in a group, and it is quite possible you can get one before this Level. It is also quiet Uber, being droppable and 8 STR, 5 Wis, 3 Dex and having a better Atk/Dly Ratio than the 1st step in the Paladin Epic, SoulFire...
I cannot believe this...
# Jan 04 2002 at 1:09 PM Rating: Excellent
I have heard it all. Complaining because of one attack damage and one point of delay, on a weapon that has +8 str and +5WIS! Do you even cast spells as a Paladin? What kind of overtwinked whiny punk are you? The Blackened Alloy ******* Sword is a common Weapon that everyone has. Who walks around with a Blessed Knights Defender? I think you need to start a new character, untwinked and try to remeber what it was like not to have 50,000K, a horse, a FBSS, and a whiney attitude because your ubertwinked character did not struggle with anything until level 45.

THANK YOU!!! I started this char with nothing and worked myself up! Everything I have was either gotten myself or bought with the money I busted my butt to get!I just recently got the soulfire and I'm more proud of that than anything else I have. Unlike some of you I don't have lvl 55+ friends that camp crap for me or help me on quest. We killed lucan with 2 groups of 40+ people from my guild. I've died doing the quest more than I have in the entire game. BUT, my point behind this is... If you wanna get your uber buddy to buy/camp you some uber weapon that's fine but if you wanna get something that your proud of (no matter what the stats) go after something like this! I myself will be working on this quest. They call this game everquest for a reason.

Disappointed
# Jan 03 2002 at 6:54 PM Rating: Default
I've been disappointed with both the of the Twilight Sea quest weapons Ive seen. The monk weapon is a 20/30 2hb. If we assume the monk did this quest at 46, then double fists do about the same amount of damage (standard modal, assumed damage bonus on the 2hb is 10). Then there is this weapon. Attention paladins of the world: If this weapon has caught your eye and your of the level to do it, I have a Blackened Alloy ******* Sword I can trade ya for that crappy FBSS you've got(Note the sarcasm 24/39 and availible at lvl 30, versus 23/40 availible at 45. Hmmm You make the call)

Sometimes I really feel like the powers that be have a poor idea of the equipment that players are actually using.

Anyways, best of luck to the other classes, may your quested weapon not suck and be one handed.
RE: Disappointed
# Jan 04 2002 at 10:07 AM Rating: Excellent
2handed weapons must have at least a 40 delay to get the 2handed bonus. Thus this weapon is better than a babs AND this one has some nice pally stats.

Your missing the point of this weapon, its something you can attain through a quest. If you buy every weapon or piece of armor what fun is that. At least there is alternative to buying weapons or trying to get in group for single spawn as most of the components for this quest drop randomly off mobs in certain zones.
RE: Disappointed
# Jan 03 2002 at 10:15 PM Rating: Decent
BABS does have a higher ratio, but look at the stats. I would much rather use this than the BABS. Mainly because that stats more than make up for 1 damage and 1 delay. Plus it probably doesn't have the horrible graphic.

However I strongly agree that this sword should be better than it is for the level to attain.

you dont need to be in a high end guild to get equipment. I never got anything from a guild until level 53 when i got my first piece of thurgadin quest armour, which to some might already seem quite late, but i was never behind other people because of money and the fact that there is still plenty of stuff around that you can trade for items or money so that you get what you want in the end, or something close to it at least. For SKs for instance a MOSS only costs 1k on my server (Saryrn) and the stats and output are very good for the relative cost). 1k isnt too hard to come by, join a Hill Giant group in Rathe Mountains and youll have it, and some exp too, after a little while, and youll have the money to buy another sword thats better. Just my view on things :)

Sure, the BABS is a great weapon...hell, I'll probably use mine into my low-mid 40's...but that's not the point.

As Eveldo mentioned, this sword has some GREAT stats - you can't argue that.

Then the fact that this sword has a 40 del (where the BABS does not), giving it the 40+ 2h bonus (unless that's been removed, but I don't remember reading that it had been).

This weapon, while definately not super-paly-icious, is nothing to scoff at. Now, I haven't looked at the quest, but I prefer quests - as a Paladin, I damn well better enjoy quests. :)
good

I think this sword is great, but at 45, you might have a better 2hs on yah.
#REDACTED, Posted: Jan 03 2002 at 9:39 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) its decent for around maybe a level 20. but by the time you are high enough to attain this i can name some weapons you can camp alone that are significantly better
