WRONG

This item is listed totally wrong. For one thing it does not have clarity II (at least not anymore), and the one that is found in Mistmoore through the flower quest (which this one lists) is NOT the Scepter of Tears, but it is the Scepter of Sorrow....for the Shadowbound Boots quest (even though on this page it says Gloves). The Scepter of Tears is really found in Lower Guk and it's for the SB Gloves quest. Alla's has this way messed up.
NERFED!! :)

Guys,. they nerfed this item ;D ,.. ppl was farming it who where not necros,. not sure what it does now,., but who cares,., as a necro you dont WANT clarity,. it just adds Rsi ;D /em clicks off clarity
Question on the effect
# Sep 07 2001 at 8:47 PM Rating: Decent
Was C2 even available at the time they made this item and quest? I mean it's a kunark spell and these quests seem to be all pre-kunark type quests. Maybe it was meant to be something else but got bugged when they added the kunark code in or something...
#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 31 2001 at 10:20 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) ok people who would say this thing is fake just to take our eq time away i have seen this item and it is for a NECROMANCER quest maybe that is why it is necromancer only and verant put clartiry 2 there to **** you off as ghoda said in thew frist post now shutup and stop saying it is fake if you still think it is THAN GO DO IT A MONKEY COULD DO IT ( one that eats bannans and stuff not a monk )I HAVE THE GLOVES so I KNOW IT IS REAL I AM SORRY YOU PEOPLE DON'T *sigh GET A CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 01 2001 at 3:10 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) LOL nice effect. Not nice of Verant to tease you and say F.U. you cant use tho hahah. Sux for you casters.
RE: LOL

FYI, us "casters", necros, have our own version of clarity. Have you ever heard of a necro shouting for a clarity anywhere? Besides, its an item for a quest and the reward for the quest is much nicer than the scepter.
RE: Necros clarity even better
# Apr 10 2001 at 11:04 AM Rating: Default
I have an enchanter (30), and a necro (14). Necros dark pact series of self mana regeneration is better than clarity. Maybe clarity 2 would be better than the dark pact variant when you can obtain this item, but i dont think so.
RE: Necros clarity even better
# Jul 31 2001 at 2:34 AM Rating: Default
false
Darkpact = breeze (2 mana per tick)
Alure of Death >= clarity (7 mana per tick)
Call of Bones > clarity II
RE: Necros clarity even better
# Mar 27 2002 at 11:29 PM Rating: Decent
yes, the necro line of spells that are better than clarity are bugged.. but they aren't going to fix them. They screwed them up when they switched the spell effects for pvp, but probably felt sorry for the necros that were left playing because they had already nerfed them into stupidity.
RE: Necros clarity even better
# Mar 28 2002 at 10:39 PM Rating: Decent
1. Clarity 2 is nice to have in reserve when you find your self in that rare situation with nothing to drain for health and hurtin. Makes recovery from total depletion (just shy of death) that much easier. not a bad item to carry just in case. Unfortunately, it does not have that effect.
2. The necro line of mana conversion spells are all equal or better then their equivilant breeze line spells of the same spell level. When you get to Lich it is no competition.
3. Clickables always rock -- especially one you may have found on the ground.
4. They nerfed us necros because there were too many loopholes for them to exploit in the past and they just didn't know when to stop. We had all but become the druid of the intelligence casters before Luclin came out. Now we find ourselves a little better off with a wider variety of spells - including the new group tap line.

This sceptre
# Feb 28 2001 at 7:42 AM Rating: Default
This is for the shadowbound armor quests from sol ro. I got this sceptre a few months ago, and it was sitting in my bank. When I finally cleaned it out, I noticed that the sceptre had 0 charges left. What happened was during a recent patch, someone made a booboo :)
Not fake.. but not usable either

This item is real. But you can not use the charge. The scepter is not equipable and you are unable to click the effect either. Just a cruel joke on verants part.

Ya thats it, its a joke. Get a clue. You ever think maybe its broken? Or just a quest item? Na, Verants just trying to **** you off because they hate their customers.
#REDACTED, Posted: Feb 28 2001 at 9:04 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Yeah thats it!!!! Verant hates us all. They probally take seminars on cruelty so that they can **** us off with more effiency. Man, I wish I was as insightful as you when it comes to things like this...
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 28 2001 at 3:02 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) If you are concerned about a items validity, please do not spam the discussion with posts of "this thing is fake" and the like. If you are truly concerned take it up with AllaKhazam (if he has time for it and isn't insulted by your opinion of his checking on matters) or the person who reported it. It seems every item listed on this board has the same post now of "FAKE" and it doesn't add any information to the board. I will post this on all of the relevant items from today's post and never again, so please try to not post such wasteful messages.

This item is not fake, this sceptre is used for the shadowbound gloves quest. You pick the item up at the top of the water falls of Lower Guk. It spawns on the ground, underneath a chair. Some people call it "the sceptre room" When you pick it up, it just says "a sceptre" When you use a wizard "identify" spell, you find out it is the "sceptre of tears" which is what the lady in the temple of solesek ro, asks for when you hail her for the shadowbound gloves quest. The effect can't be used,not even in your inventory slow, and this is why. You do not get the information about the items actual name or effect until you use a wizard identify spell on it. Well, the item is necro only. And it is NO DROP. So the only person that can 'release' or 'identify' its magical powers(effect) is a wizard who doesn't have the ability to use it, since it is necro only. And he can't identify items for other people. If necros ever get the "identify" spell, then they will get to use this. But until then, it's effect will remain useless. Oh, btw, you don't have to identify the sceptre in order to turn it in for the quest. You can just give "the sceptre" to the quest lady. Or you can give her "the sceptre of tears" does not matter. Works either way. The gloves are some pretty spiffy necro gloves. Pretty easy quest to do too, if you can solo shadowmen.

JUst a couple of minor corrections:

1) Wizards aren't the only ones with the spell: Identify. Enchanters have it as well (possibly other classes also) and it is found on several items.

2) you can indeed identify items for other people. The other person merely has to put the item in question on their cursor and have the wizard (enchanter, whoever) target them and cast the identify spell. I've done it many times.

Not Fake - have one

This is dropped in Mistmoore.

Give the shadowman behind the crypt the flower that sits ON the coffin and he gives you this.

And you also get faction.

Sucks its Necro only - all casters would be nicer
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 27 2001 at 7:32 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Deffinately a fake. I'm a druid of the 54th level and Verant has also claimed that they would not put any sort of clarity, breeze, or clarity 2 on any items even if some of them have charges. The flower quest results in a sceptor but it does not have the effect clarity 2 i use this quest to raise my faction with Temp of sol all the time and none with the effect of C2.

This item is not fake, i have been camping in mm on and off and turned in a flower recently and got one of these, it clearly is a mistake on verants part and they might have fixed in this last patch ill go check it out, and im not even sure if it was usable, if it was necros could clear the graveyard by themselves almost heh

#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 27 2001 at 9:43 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) It is a fake, just for fun I tried it, same result as always, since you need the wand you get in the first place for a temple of sol ro quest. You give the flower you get a weeping wand back, which is one of the items you need to get (name escapes me since I did it in the 30s) wand that has 3 charges of strip enchantment, and some stat bonus's. The quest has not been changed in over a year and a half.

Not a fake, was camping in MM aswell and have had one in my inventory a couple of times; Actually didn't know where the heck it came from. It was nec only though so I just destoryed it since it was no drop.

I'm the one who submitted this picture. It is not a fake. I couldn't right click it, and a level 30 necromancer who was in Mistmoore at the same time as me said he couldn't right click his either. Not sure if you have to be a higher level, or if it's broken, or what, but the scepter does exist.
RE: Fake
# Feb 27 2001 at 11:01 PM Rating: Decent
you need to be 42 to receive c2 anyway.
It is level 40 to recieve C2
# Mar 01 2001 at 1:46 AM Rating: Decent
All high level buffs are that way
Real?
# Feb 27 2001 at 7:20 PM Rating: Default
I'm a long time player and granted I haven't been in mistmoore in a while (about a year), but the scepter from the flower quest never had clarity on it.
RE: Real?
# Feb 27 2001 at 7:22 PM Rating: Default
I'm doubting this heavily..
RE: Real?
# Feb 27 2001 at 7:50 PM Rating: Default
Its real you turn in the flower from on top of the coffin in mm to the shadowed man behind the building in the graveyard.
Messed up

This is messed up, why should necro's get Clarity II?????? At least make the item All pure caster....
RE: Messed up
# Jun 23 2001 at 11:54 AM Rating: Decent
uh guys, if you didn't read anyparts above I will give you the lo-down, THE CLARITY 2 EFFECT DOES NOT WORK, however, THIS ITEM DOES exist, it is for the Necromancer Shadowbound Gloves quest!
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 28 2001 at 12:00 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) You must be a druid, whoever posted the first post.
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 27 2001 at 6:14 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Ahem...
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 27 2001 at 7:19 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I think the scepter is for a Necromancer quest. That is probably why it doesn't do a whole lot.
