to get into test server you goto to your everquest directory, and find the TESTEVERQUEST.EXE file, run it and it will look like normal eq Patcher, but it will patch, run eq, then you log in as usual, then at server select it has one server: Test. log into it to access test server, make a character, and when logged in type /test toget free gear for your toon and ding to 25 with all spell/combat disiples for your class :) good luck

Posted:Feb 27 2003 at 11:06 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) On the Torvonnilous server these babies go for as low as 5k... Thats the lowest I have seen them.. I saw one 6k too.. The highest I have ever seen one on Torvon was 11k... They auctioned it off for like 2hours =P
Friend found this ON THE FLOOR OF THE BAZAAR today, lol. No one was even complaining about losing one, heh.
Traded a Stave of Shielding I was doing nothing with for it, now I have a partner to Rage - still have my bloodpoint for when I need the resists and proc, but.. this just looks a whole hell of a lot cooler :(

Posted:Sep 20 2002 at 2:43 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Guys. Myself being a 60 rogue and quite ubah knows better ). 60 Rogues can out dmg ANY class (non caster). Even if they have their epic. I've out damaged a warrior using epic as 1hs and 2hs. BTW not taking taunt. He was tanking a frog and I was BSing it from behind. I got the exp. So ya, that applies to monks, pallies and SKs just suck.
RE: Rogues out dmg every class even with average gear
It does not surprise me that you outdamaged a warroior using his epic. Even if he's using his epic he's still a warrior.
Warrior purpose : to take damage and keep aggro
Rogue purpose : to deal damage.
to put it shortly, a drill will drill a much better hole than a saw, even if its a really good saw. Just dont get arrogant and say to warriors 'haha i can outdamage you' because they will most likely say back 'do you want me to tank this [insert random planes mob that quads for 300+ a pop] or do you want to try?'

Posted:Sep 04 2002 at 7:50 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) ok.. so i was eating this hot soup stuff.. and it had potatoes, that were really hot.. so.. i wanted to eat one.. and mind you.. these were really hot potatoes.. so.. i pick one up on my fork.. and i start to blow on it, because.. well.. it was hot.. and blowing on it cools it down. ok.. so.. by the time i cool it down from blowing. i am light-headed because my brain has too much/not enough oxygen. and since i get light-headed. my balancing skill goes down, and the potatoe drops off of the fork, and back into the really hot soup.. so i had to get and ice cube to cool the stuff down..

I picked up one of these for my war in the bazaar the other day. I did a lil research and read up on your posts here on the sight and agreed that the price was a bit high, but I was looking more for a wep with a very fast dam dly and something with sv magic on it. I currently use a cbol and frosty. I seemed to have lil problems in HoT when I used this combo. I will be the first to admit that I should have gotten a seb croaking dirk for the speed and stats cause yes the proc is useless for my war in the groups I am usually in. But I saw a guy selling this wep for the same price as the seb croaking dirk 11k and I decided for the first time in my eq life to go for look LAFF cause they look so cool. Anyhow in closing, I would say that yes the cbol is overpriced for the prices you guys said you have paid for it, but . . . 11k is not a bad price for a wep with this kind of ratio. I have been very happy with the ability to hold taunt with my combo. Well happy hunting in EQ all
I know this warrior, and like, like he totally has this weapon, and omfg it's so good, and and, he turned down 100k for it, and and, I'M A FREAKING IDIOT.
That's what you sound like.
This weapon SUCKS! One of the best weapons in the game? Not only does this PoS only sell for like 15-20k, I can name 50 weapons better for your sweet little warrior friend. Blade of Carnage, Sceptre of Destruction, Horn of Hsagra, Fleshgrinde, to name only a few. 10/18 is not that great.
"Blade of Carnage, Sceptre of Destruction, Horn of Hsagra, Fleshgrinder"
Oh great idea Einstein. I'll just run out and pick up a few of these. 10/18 is a solid ratio, especially for thse of us either not in AoW/ST raiding guilds, or who don't have 300k and 6 weeks to actually get someone to sell one of those to us.
But you do have a point- CBoL is HORRIBLY overpriced. Crafted Vel Warsword is 10/18 and averaging 10k or so on my server.
This weapon is way overpriced, and if you're a Rogue, get a Blood Point. Shadow gives 20AC, big whoop, and you only give up 3 delay to get Blood Point, which has a better proc, great stats, and can be purchased for around 2k now.
This is going for around 18k on RZ. Very nice weapon to work on Piercing with. Woushi is such a cakewalk for a good raid group. I think I cast Divine healing once during the fight.
CBoL is a NIce weapon but very cheap on quellious server people are selling for 10k to 15kpp i was gonna buy but outta money:P bought Elder spiritist Bp for druid:)
these sell for about 10-12k on AB server as they arnt to uncommon. but then again we have a huge population of lvl 60 and woushi is trivial to the top 4 guilds and we have 4 other guilds that are capable of killing him withought that much dificulty. worst part about woushi is stunning casters or healers if his breath weapon ever hits.
We killed Wuoshi last night, and he dropped 2 of these babies.
Im now wielding one of them with Swifty, and so far i like it alot :)
Its true that the proc isnt all that usefull, unless you solo, but the ratio you have to love.
Skulreaver, im not sure you should get rid of your LSoEE. LSoEE with Swiftwind has been the cause of much parsing and debating. Look for info on the Rangers Glade whether or not to go for it ( forums.interealms.com/ranger ).

I am a 55 ranger wielding a frostbringer and a LSOEE. 12/22 and 16/29. I want to keep the LSoEE in offhand. ( I like the AC and the damage ) Getting rid of the the frosty for the Cresent Blades...is that a good idea?? I know it is a tad quicker as far as ratio goes, and gives more AC but the AC can be overwritten easily in a group, and I dont want too much taunt as the Frosty gives me less taunt, hits harder and debuffs AC. Please, you two cp.
i think it would kind of give the same/less amount of taunt, for the proc on frosty actually hits the mob, while CBoL's Shadow proc only works on the wielder. at least, that's what i think
Anyone else notice some people here say the stupidest things...like wilssaper for a rogue...lol dat is da ghey...yea good weapon for rogue but the proc on it will be da death...
yea cbol is good fast and stuff...
Sebilite Croaking Dirk is kinda better if ur a group type person..cause ac buff from cbol dont really stack with any buffs after lvl 20 of any priest types

I presently have one in my main. Its ok. Its true the ac buff isn't much good on raids. The look and resits are sweet and I hold aggro well. This is more about the ppl that always say they have a lammy or defiance in there off hands. A 9/19 in your off hand is stupid. Its like feather f*cking the mob. Its ALL about ratio in the off hand. Get a hard hitter over there. i.e. A LSoEE or some such.
#Zaztik,
Posted:Apr 21 2002 at 7:05 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) IMHO, this thing is way over-rated. 10/18 is insane, not to mention the additional 20ac proc and 10sv magic, but it just costs way to much. On Prexus it goes for around 15k now, which isnt much, but on other servers it's just a rip off. I would love one to go with Swiftwind, but I'll settle for a Lammy (2k) or Crafted Velium Warsword (8k).
Well I got this blade the other night and was playing around with it in Kael. I and my cleric (55th) was taking out the guards at the archway heading to arena area and your right the proc does little when you have heroic and shield or words up but here is the fun part. My cleric tags the mob with Mark of Karns and I jump in duel wielding and with my RBB and The crescent blades/defiance goign at the mob I only need to be completely healed 4 times instead of 5 durning the fight. This speed these weapons have makes up for the ac you don't get and the damage is better it seems as well. I can't wait to get AQ or better haste on me and see what I can really do with these weapons. I for one am happy and surprised at the speed and power of this blade. If you get one or have one you know or will know what I mean. Well worth the effort on getting one

Any weapon proc, to a certain degree, is a taunt. I have a Sword of Blessings from Velks and when I click it to remove a poison or disease dot, I always gain aggro for a moment. So if I gain aggro from curing disease or poison then a self buff will also gain aggro.

I would have to disagree with you Bearman. By clicking your sword you are removing or healing yourself from what a mob had hit you with. This gives you agro similar to what a cleric gets when healing a tank too early. The proc on this weapon is a buff and I have never seen a shammy catch agro from buffing me in battle. Also I have a Stave of Shielding and have never gotten agro from its proc which is very similar to this one.
you people all got ripped off, 80k ?? 60k ?? like its a nice wep, i am on tarew-marr and they sell all the time, liek usually one ever two days, and they sell for like 30-35k no more, the proc is pretty much useless cause it is over-written by pretty much 99% of buffs, you would be much better off buying a crafted velium warswrod 10 dmg 18 dly, sells for like 17k almost have the price, oh well you dont get 10 sv magic and a useless proc = P
This buff is in the enchanter line of ac buffs which only have stacking issues with cleric ac buff, shaman bulwark buffs, and obviously the enchanter buffs.
Oh I'm using these btw

#Obsolete,
Posted:Mar 09 2001 at 5:19 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I sure do like this weapon.... Now why can't they make it available to say.... lvl 20's?? hehe
This is a rare weapon indeed, and to posess one is well....lets just that person is one lucky mofo. Anyway, to give you people an estimate on the pricing of this magnificent weapon. I met a level 60 warrior with it and he said he got offered a deal for 100kpp for it, and guess what...he said "no". So, therefore, this is literally one of THE BEST high end weapons in the game that I know of that is not an epic weapon AND can be sold because it's not NO DROP. I'm sure the proc is nothing less then amazing and well worth the effort put into getting it. And, this is defenently a weapon that rogues will be drooling over for some time....like me. =^) - Greaver Shadyblade (level 31 Rogue) Rathe
Just because a 60 Warrior turned down 100k for this weapon, doesnt make it worth spit. Now it has a very nice ratio I'll give ya that, but by the time a warrior or rog or anyone who can use this reaches 60, there are much better weapons. As far as rarity, not really. Between my guild and another on our server Wuoshi dies almost as soon as he spawns most days, simply because he's in the way, and he drops these quite often, Ive seen 2 drop at once several times.
These things are hardly what I would call rare. But you do need to be in a guild that can kill Wuoshi, and that normally means a guild where the average level is in the mid-50s or better. And Wuoshi only pops once a week.
I cant think of a time when Wuoshi didnt drop at least 2 of these when we killed him. 3 dropped tonight.
And there are still better weapons out there. Currently, the best seem to come from Sleepers Tomb.

Posted:Jun 19 2001 at 2:24 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Goes for 30 to 40k on Xev, A Crafted Velium Warsword is 10/18 with no stats form DN, about 20k. Seb Croaking Dirk is 10/18 and is..hum..i believe around 30k. This looks cool, but it's stats arn't as good as a SCD, so paying 40k is kinda high for this..your 60 war friend who said he wanted 100+k for it..well thats not uncommon, a lot of people want a lot more money for there items than they are worth =p

Ok here is my story. Last night i traded my ES Greaves for the Crescent Blades of Luclin and a Gem Encrested ring. After that i was offered (get this) a Frostbringer, Winters Fury, Bitter Blade of the Icepaw, Glimmering Mithril Torque and a 8sv all ring for the blades. So anyway, these blades can sell for ALOT. It all depends who wants it and how bad they want it.

At this time, pretty much any weapon that's good coming from newer, high end boss mob types are in the priceless catagory. This is not only due to the fact that the weapon (or armor) is often one of the best you can obtain, but also it's a guild raid effort generally to take down any such mob. When it takes that kinda effort, you'd have to be a real jerk to sell it off. Most guilds award items at that level, not random them (though some do. /shrug). If you get it cause they think you deserved it and then decided to trade it off, imagine most people would be looking for a new guild in a hurry. =)

Posted:Jan 30 2001 at 8:50 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Shadow is alot more than 20. Level 49 chanter buff is the last in their line of AC buffs. Everlore states 75-100 AC.
#Anonymous,
Posted:Mar 01 2001 at 2:04 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) .... ugh what @#%^ing retarded newbies. THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN LOCUSTLURE. By the time you can acquire this weapon you will mostly be on big raids more often than not, and somebody else will be doing the slowing... jesus
If you look at it that way, not only will someone eelse be slowing, but someone will have thrown a better AC buff on you as well, so this proc won't overwrite it.
FYI the cleric AC buff line is superior to the enchanter one, and clerics will overwrite chanter AC buffs.
So unless you're grouping with a sub-44/49 cleric (not sure when they get a buff superior to shadow), this proc usually wont be of any use.
Unless of course you're soloing, but any rogue will tell you how much you can solo at this level.
Shadow is part of an AC buff line Enchanters get. This spell happens to be the level 49 spell in the line and gives 20ac. Looks like this is the best main hand weapon a dual wielding class can get I believe, doing abit more damage then a jade mace, plus this nifty 20ac proc. Must go out and get velious, heh.
Better main hand weapon is the Willsapper. 13 dmg 20 dly, some stats and a slow proc. Obviously, rogues would get preference if this weapon dropped, but my ranger would love to have it.
um, obviously you are quite touched in the head to even mention this weapon, I do not suppose that you have even taken the time to look up exactly where it drops and how difficult it is to get; theres a reason that 99% of the 60th lvl people out there DONT HAVE ONE. Yes, willsapper is much better, but g'luck gettin one.
I just got my Lupine Dagger for my ranger for 7k, crescent blade is selling for 60k on my server, lupine is 9 / 18 and gives greater wolf form, an amazing buff, you should look into one of the lupine daggers for your ranger
