Lute for sale

Talk to Jwiz, Xev Server. Maybe we can strike a deal on this Lute of the Howler. Only serious offers, look at the PC up top, I can do you much better than that. Besides, it is the Holidays, and I am in a giving mood.
Peace on to all, and by the way, all this talk about 2 groups, it is just a dog people. From a Mage prospective, because that is what I had down there, hit it with Malosi, then Nuke him to shreads at 40% health, I stuck every spell on him.

Well im still yet to this item drop, Killed Khelkar atleast a dozen times now and only masks have droped from him. this guy is lvl 59 and need to be slowed ifyou take him with one group. My group consisist of a 59 shaman, 60 bard 60 war, 59 rogue 57 wiz and 59 cleric, and we get the **** kicked out of us if he isnt slowed. Spawns In the middle of a 5 spawn room hits hard and fast for 300 a pop and has **** hot MR. you would be best to take 2 groups to kill this ****.

Took him down with 60 monk 59 warrior 59 cleric 58 druid 57 enchanter 52 rogue and had very little trouble. He was not slowed and the tank was defensive. Just control aggro and you are fine. It will take about 40 - 50% of clerics mana to keep the tank healed and you should start CH about a bubble earlier than normal.
Winning

Our only problem was that our druid kept having gate loaded instead of evac. That and was warrior sucked. Unfortunately he has not dropped the lute, in the 3 times that Mebe has dropped him.

we did it without slow.
our group was 60 cleric 60 enchanter 59 warrior 54 warrior 58 sk 58 wizzy
just keep agro on one tank and rune him constantly
when he enrages back off and let nuker nuke until hes dead or unenrages

The % is between 5% and 10% to song depending which song and aspect of that song you are testing.

BTW anyone try this with the secondary 1h instruments? Have yet to hit SG and poa more.

Some folks have done some maths on EQDiva and we're fairl;y confident it adds 10%. It's still possible it adds slightly more but evidence suggests 10%.

LotGP: 5%
LotH: 10%
K7SL: 20%

10% for healing yes.. the STR part of nivs seems not to comply though.

I have the lute it adds 109 atk 30 str 40% haste to a level 60. As far as effecting lute based songs it does more then the SSS but less then the Meistro lute.The best part about it is i use illusion WW get the stats then use illusion DE keep stats from lute and get ultravision from de mask< and look like DE>

If this really does the TRUE illusion Werewolf it gives STR too. Don't mix this spell up with Boon of the Garou because they are different.
Twinking with this...
# May 23 2001 at 10:15 AM Rating: Default
Will never happen, or if it does happen it will be very very rare.

Why? I've led in eight raids with the purpose of getting this lute. Khelkar has shown his face three times and has never dropped the Lute.
ATK bonus
# May 23 2001 at 9:58 AM Rating: Default
This item added 107 to my ATK when I used the effect.

Quite possibly the best ATK enhancing item in game for bards.
This a very nice item

I was lucky enough to get one of these wonderful things on a Lord Dojoasdfdfsad raid. This is great because it goes in your primary hand and you can still hold a weapon in the secondary hand. Using this and the damage absorbtion song constantly and my group doesn't really take much damage. The only drawback is that when you run through newbie zones you are always bothered for clarity :)

Wrong mob
# May 23 2001 at 12:04 AM Rating: Decent
The name of the mob that drops this is Khelker Icepaw. A 58-59 lvl dog that hits upwards of 300 a pop

# May 22 2001 at 7:52 PM Rating: Default
no it adds about 15% I think,its great to have if cleric dies and you are back up healer.. proc adds 25ish to str and 65 to attack, it also shrinks you so it is nice for lag purposes.. makes you as tall as a human and you have wood elf visiblity *not crappy human bard site* very nice to have mob that drops it is Khelkor Icepaw and is lvl 59, hits for 300 and is a ranger class, hard to slow but with 2 good groups can be taken with no prob, mob is found in a room with 4 other kobolds, hard pull

#Anonymous, Posted: May 22 2001 at 7:42 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I wonder if the werewolf plays the guitar like the bards do that would be pretty funny.
#Anonymous, Posted: May 22 2001 at 5:32 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Why can't monks play songs and fight with their off hand? This Sux.
RE: Why isn't this monk usable?
# May 22 2001 at 6:59 PM Rating: Good
im just curious if you realize how funny the question you just asked was.think about it did you ever see a musician play a guitar with one hand or a flute i guess a drum is possible if you hold it between your legs and beat it with your off hand but then you wouldnt be able to run.
RE: Why isn't this monk usable?

In regards to the one handed playing thing - you ever heard of Stanley Jordan? Plays 2 gitters at once.
#Anonymous, Posted: May 23 2001 at 4:10 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Well i understand where your getting at, but i HAVE seen a bard play an instrument and attack, newbies tryin 2 act cool just above this...check this- A yak in offhand, and a piercer (i couldnt see the weapon cuz he was constantly twisting-Dark Elf from Mask of Deception) so i asked my guild if i can use a Instrument and alot said "Most Likely" so i pretty much made you guys sound stupid...
RE: Why isn't this monk usable?
# Jun 13 2001 at 2:57 PM Rating: Default
Normally, instruments are 2 handed. This lute is 1 handed and can be equipped with a weapon. As for your comments, I'm not sure I understood what you were talking about. The only other instrument that I know of which can be equipped with a weapon is the bard particle weapon - which happens to be usable as all instruments (no instrument bonuses though). I doubt that the individual you saw was weilding either item, considering he had a yak (which is a crappy bard weapon compared to the kunark and velious weapons), and you need to be 55+ to get this lute or the epic.
RE: Why isn't this monk usable?
# May 23 2001 at 9:48 PM Rating: Default
But what you're all missing is that this guy asked why a MONK, yes, a MONK, can not use this.

Another thing that seems to be forgetten in the whole one handed things is the 1 handed horn. horn and lute punch and add extra damage with songs.
#Anonymous, Posted: May 22 2001 at 7:40 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) thats some funny stuff there, LOL.
percent to song
# May 22 2001 at 5:08 PM Rating: Default
i have one of these lutes, it seems to be the same % to song as lute off maestro plus you weild it in primary hand and can have a weapon in offhand. you won't punch with primary, but will use the offhand weapon, works well if you have a mana intensive group and NEED to pump as much mana as possible
RE: percent to song
# May 23 2001 at 2:43 PM Rating: Good
the amount of mana from cantana of replenishment does not increase with using an instrument...the heal/stamina do...but not the mana
