Why do they make stupid items like this?

It is useless as a weapon and is not a quest item so why? Originally, The Hole was a very difficult zone to survive in so after doing all the hard work of getting through the zone and finding a piece of gear, you shouldn't find junk that is even less useful than your newbie weapon. I can imagine the conversation among level 50 players after a hard fight. Okay, who wants to roll for this 2/30 sword? *crickets*.

I believe its intended purpose is "vendor food".

... a spirit of the ruins. Just got one from this mob earlier today.

If you're hunting specifically for the sword, kill the spirits that are wielding one. Easily done with a rogue and SoS.

This is a nice weapon for helping clerics avoid buff/rez requests in PoK. Equip this and a parrying dagger, and you have instant warrior illusion.

Why does this sell for so much in the Bazaar, 2K on my server is average?

Thanks...
what is?
# Dec 06 2003 at 8:47 AM Rating: Decent
There is a bunch of these for sale in the Bazaar on Saryn Server for 1k pp and up. Whats the deal with this thing? 2 dmg? Is there a quest where this is used? Is it used in tradeskills somewhere? Is this a joke? Or is this a conspiracy to make me wonder whats happening? What is happening anyway?
what quests are this for

#Anonymous, Posted: Apr 13 2001 at 5:33 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I figure I would say something stupid an inane and contribute nothing just like the previous 90 messages. EQ is based on RL. I am a ogre sk and it makes me angry to see wizards with these items because shaolin monks use them. Sticks are good weapons compared to axes. I will use swords though.
Purpose?
# Mar 30 2001 at 12:33 AM Rating: Decent
Does thing have a purpose? I mean is it for a quest or anything? Or is it just so peeps who can't use 1hs have a new sword to equip?
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 13 2001 at 9:37 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Somebody said something about 1hb not making sense as short sticks don't make good weapons.. apparently that person has never heard of a jo-stick (approx. 3 foot long short staff often disguised as a cane, used in 1 or 2 hands) or more importantly escrima sticks, Filipino fighting sticks about 12 to 18 inches long, and incredibly brutal in the hands of an Escrimador, or master of this fighting art. I'm sure they are what fighting batons were meant to be styled on, but in order to be accurate they's have to have about a 3 damage and 8 delay, as they don't hit super hard, but they hit faster than most folk can follow with their eyes. As far as the Shaolin being the ultimate whupass fighters, that's a strong claim, not one I'd care to debate with one, but still very bold considering the level of skill amongst other styles. Just remember, no matter how good you are, there's always somebody better.
#Anonymous, Posted: Apr 21 2001 at 2:24 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) The thing that annoys me is that in real life, you have a sword, you swing it at someone, and slice them.(note:I have not actually done this) And in eq it can take a lot of slicing to hit somethin'. It's kinda weird, but I'm not saying I would rather have something killed in one blow with a sword.

RE: little itty bitty stickies
# Apr 20 2001 at 8:28 PM Rating: Default
perhaps you should join your local chapter sca ( Society for Creative Anacronism ) and find out just how much a tiny little stick aan hurt. fighting staffs, canes, and the like are just as deadly as any other weapon out there.
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 13 2001 at 11:35 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I have a pair of escrima sticks and they're pretty cool, but what would suck worse, getting wapped by a stick a few times or getting something hacked off? besides it was just an idea and there is good basis for it so =P
RE: little itty bitty stickies
# Feb 20 2002 at 1:30 AM Rating: Decent
Have taken fencing and bo(staff) fighting. Have been "accidentally" cut in sparring. And have been hit by "sticks" on numerous occasions. Though I will admit none of the 3 slices I obtained were severely deep, or in a high pain area like the gut, I do have to say the hits with the staffs hurt much worse.

In a fight, your adrenaline is up, and your heart racing. If you are in the zone, the sharp pain of a cut is just as likely to make you focus more and just **** you off(if it doesn't severely injure or kill you of course) as it is to make you stop and go huh? But that deep down dull thud to the bone of a hit with an inch thick peice of oak makes me want to quit fighting every time. It hurts for hours, and makes you not want to move.

I can't even imagine how bad it would hurt to get hit with a mace or warhammer. Specially one of the big ones with the spikes. That will throw both kinds of pain at you.
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 12 2001 at 10:41 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Is EQ real life? Are monks in EQ Shaolin Monks? enough said....
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 10 2001 at 11:47 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Shaolin Monks (which is what EQ monks are based on) were master of all types of weapons, most importantly there own bodies, but yet when Verant made EQ monks they only gave em 1hb & 2hb. I can see why they would give Monks 2hb, thats the most common weapon used by a Monk, as Monks are poor. 1hb is odd though, sticks don't make good short weapons (one handed) and swords were much more widely used. The most common 1hs would be the traditional Northern Chinese Broadsword (darn dao) or Southern Broadsword (Nan Dao) and then it would be the straight sword, but yet Monks in EQ don't get to be proficient in 1hs at all, which I think is quite bunk.
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 12 2001 at 9:58 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) i love you, this is what i have been saying for... well... ever
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 10 2001 at 10:39 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Hmm, good point if this class was styled on EARTH monks. Yet it isn't and while we're at it warriors should be able to do the same kind of fighting moves as monks while we're on the subject. So to remove all the bunk perhaps Verant should get rid of all the classes and make one Uberclass with all the skills and spells of everything rolled into one so nobody would have anything to whine about....but, then again, someone would whine about how boring the game is with everybody being the same. (sigh) you just can't please everybody ;p
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 12 2001 at 6:39 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) It wouldn't make that much of a difference to get 1hs as a weapon skill as we'd still do the same amount of damage according to the weapon and skill level, it would just be more correct as RL shaolin monks whoop **** with anything. If they weren't based on Shaolin Monks, then what are they based on? Christian Monks? I think they could've came up with a better class name for monks then monks though. as Monk means 'holy man' more or less, and since EQ monks have the choice of worshiping a diety or not, perhaps they should call them brawlers, or something of the like.
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 13 2001 at 5:44 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Goodness, you people don't seem to understand why they don't do certain things in this game yaw?? you all are a buncha sour sour people... when it comes to your class specifications. I honestly think that Verant and Sony do their best in order to make this game as fun as possible. I mean, hey.. they're the ones who are programming, not you. If you really want to change stuff.. make your own game with your own uber class and everything made to fit RL scenarios. Then you'd be making the millions
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 13 2001 at 11:28 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) You sound pretty sour yourself =)
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 18 2001 at 10:16 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) A monk, master of his fists, going to take up 1hs? Anyone else think that sounds stupid? Why not have warriors use their fists and do around 40 damage per hit, then?
#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 08 2001 at 9:44 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) ...you totally missed the point i think bud, Monks are masters of all weapons(or at least should be) including there own bodies, warriors are just good at slashing and bashing.
#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 30 2001 at 8:11 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) But this is Everquest, and thats RL. You can't please everyone, and Veran made this up, right? I think Verant is the one to judge wether to make EQ monks like RL monks, and in EQ, they are supposed to be masters of the body, not sword. No matter how much you look at it, EQ is EQ, and RL is RL. If Verant wanted everquest to have sword-fighting monks, would you be happy with that? Just let the game be what it is, and don't whine about how it isn't realistic enough. It's a fantasy game, it's not supposed to be! P.S are rogues "of the #th coin?" (Rogue of the twelth coin.)

man, ppl get in to stupid arguments...
"why can't my polygon man use some polygon sword? the REAL fighting monks do!!"
on that note, why can't ANYONE use ANYTHING?
and on that note, HOW can a giant holding a legchopper die and a GNOME pick it up and use it??
and on that note why can't a troll sit on a dorf and kill him?
and on that note why don't the frogs in Sebelis JUST DIE?!
and on that note if you kill the Dog Captain, how the hell does he come back and you kill him again?
and on that note how the hell can you kill a god, Inny "MADE all the DE's" you'd think he would have a few million up there with him just in case someone came up to kill him
and on that note why can't I kidnap tunare and have my way with her
and on that note I will shut up

Ah, answers to the age old questions ...

"why can't my polygon man use some polygon sword? the REAL fighting monks do!!"

Why? It's a basic high school geometry thang. Circles don't mix with Rhombus. Monks train up in circles, and thus don't with the rhombus of slashing weapons. Yeah!

"on that note, why can't ANYONE use ANYTHING?"

Because Anything has been nerfed since the days of Beta. Luckily Holgresh Elder Beads aren't. Or ARE THEY?

"and on that note, HOW can a giant holding a legchopper die and a GNOME pick it up and use it??"

There is nothing a properly motivated Gnome can NOT do. If only VI had the license to give the Gnomes hats. Ah, then EQ would be perfect.

"and on that note why can't a troll sit on a dorf and kill him?"

The zen answer ... maybe they DO ... maybe that's why Trolls are always scratching their hindquarters.

"and on that note why don't the frogs in Sebelis JUST DIE?!"

Your first easy question. It's OUR JOB to kill them. DIE FROGGY! DIE!

"and on that note if you kill the Dog Captain, how the hell does he come back and you kill him again?"

Remember, in Star Wars, when Vader killed an imperial officer? There was always a new one to take its place.

"and on that note how the hell can you kill a god, Inny "MADE all the DE's" you'd think he would have a few million up there with him just in case someone came up to kill him"

Being an Agnostic Monk, I can only answer that it is not my fists that kill Innoruk, but rather my lack of belief in the concept of Innoruk. Thus, Innoruk can and will die.

"and on that note why can't I kidnap tunare and have my way with her"

Because the Plane of Growth is really just one big mushroom cap TRIP, and so you're "drive" just isn't there by the time you reach her.

Hope my insight helps.

Check out the SK epic quest. Two of the items are VERY nice to wear, and you have to turn in both of them to get the epic. Since finishing the quest involves killing the questgiver and getting a big negative faction hit with him you can only do the quest once (though I'm sure there is a way to get around this). This is a very big decision for every high level shadowknight.

two good items:

or one good sword:
