OK I'm considering giving up my much loved Drakkel Forged Bastard Sword (DMG 20 DLY 45 WT 10.0) for one of these or an Icereaver.
Thing is I know the Icereaver won't Proc for another 10 levels and will add 5wt to my current burden.
My 2HSlash is nearly 100, even though I mainly used Dual Wielded 1HSlash up to now.
Is it worth me buying one of these to replace my Drakkel Forged BS?
Ideally I want better 1HS weapons but they're expensive and I already have a BALS.
Advice appreciated.

Not exactly the end-all answer to your questions, but use these formulas to judge what weapon is good for you. Keep it in reference.
One Handed DamageBonus = (Level-25)/3
(FAST) IF WeaponDelay <= 27
1.) DamangeBonus = One Handed DamageBonus + 1
* Damage Bonuses are always rounded down (ie, 7.65 = 7).
2.) PrimaryModal = WeaponDamage * 2 + DamageBonus
3.) ComparedPrimaryModel = PrimaryModal / WeaponDelay
(MEDIUM) IF WeaponDelay >= 28 AND <= 39
1.) DamageBonus = One Handed DamageBonus + (Level - 27) / 4
2.) PrimaryModal = WeaponDamage * 2 + DamageBonus
3.) ComparedPrimaryModel = PrimaryModal / WeaponDelay
(SLOW) IF WeaponDelay >= 40 AND <= 42
1.) DamageBonus = One Handed DamageBonus + ((Level - 27) / 4) + 1
2.) PrimaryModal = WeaponDamage * 2 + DamageBonus
3.) ComparedPrimaryModel = PrimaryModal / WeaponDelay
(VERY SLOW) IF WeaponDelay > 42
1.) DamageBonus = One Handed DamageBonus + ((Level - 27) / 4) + (WeaponDelay - 34) / 3
2.) PrimaryModal = WeaponDamage * 2 + DamageBonus
3.) ComparedPrimaryModel = PrimaryModal / WeaponDelay

Um, concidering other 2 handers, this thing is insanely light. Id say for say a wood elf ranger looking for a 2HS. Or even the Gnome/Pally (strength limited toons) This is very nice - I never noticed the weight before.
I have heard however over 40 delay gets a different damage bonus? I need to look again at chart. I hear that is one of the deciding factors for people. With haste and it being so close to 40 anyways, most opt to use more delay to get bonus. looking at that chat I dont see it though......?

I got a [b]BABS at level 17 for my warrior, survived past the lvl cap, and still won't give this up now that I am lvl 27. Damage is averaging 48 to 56 per hit, dishing out over 100 pts of damage every other time at bat, with crits near 100. It is possible to hit for WAY more damage - I have dealt crippling blows of up to 173 pts! And it keeps getting better...

No matter how hard you hit the mob, No matter how well you you can hold the aggro, every good warrior is in a group to take the punishment and let the others win the battle!

Posted: Jan 12 2003 at 11:21 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) this sword is crap compared to the darkedged two hander(the sword my pally has). its 24 40 and has good stats on it i sugjest u dump this sword and pick up the darkedged 2 hander its way better. i got it for 125pp on the drinal server
You are an idiot.
Just because your sword is(arguably) a TINY bit better, doesn't make this one crap.
This is a very nice sword, considering you can pick them up for about 25pp in the bazaar, on occasion, and it actually has a better damage/delay ratio than yours.
Since the damage bonus won't kick in for another 8 levels for you, the 40 delay on your sword vs 39 on this one isn't a big issue yet.
And, btw there are a ton of 2hs weapons better than yours out there, so don't be so arrogant, and insult people who are happy to have this sword.

My first hours ever of EQ play, my first character (a human paladin), and someone out of the blue in Qeynos handed me, sub level 10, one of these swords. Then I discovered Blackburrow and the rest is history. I didn't know at the time how special this sword is. And I failed to note the name of my benefactor who gave it to me. This sword does not deserve to be sold but to be passed on to another low level player as it was to me. Not until I'm done with it though, I'm 22 now and it's edge is keener than ever.
You, my friend, keep the very spirit of Everquest alive. The 'pay it forward' rule has been around on all of the GOOD servers. I commend you, its awesome you have that attitude. :) --- Seriously, that is what made this game great. My main is on Terris-Thule but I find the best server attitue thus far to date, even in old school respect and game experience is Mithaniel-Marr. I STILL to this day get items that dont sell TOO well, and offer them for a stack of bat wings, and drag a noob to the bank and gear them up.
I get too much crap, it sells for too little. Currently on mith-marr its my Mage with Kodiak Claws and even an Icetooth Paw Claw thingie... some back slot pelts. :) I will make my journey to a new person area, and hand them out. :)
When I am not on my mage, anytime a Mage summons me armor or weapons I shout out before I log, and/or at LEAST drop at a popular bank (PoK now) for another to use.

Hey Folks,
Here are my 2cp on this sword. I advise to read some of the earlier posts on the damage cap and damage bonus, because they definitely apply. I received this sword from a friend while I was in my teens. At the time, I had used 1hs exclusively up till then, with the Giant Militia Longsword. Once I got this, I still stuck with my 1hs. I would hit for 29 with both swords, but I also got bash with 1hs and this gave me another 5 to 8 with each hit, and my 1hs skill was also much better. Once I got to 20, this all changed. As soon as I equipped the BABS at 20, I was hitting for 48. The Giant was hitting only for high 20s and low 30s. I now use the BABS exclusively, at least until I get a better 1hs (looking to get Ghoulbane this weekend). It was a little rough at first, at least until I got my 2hs skill up to a decent level. I am now 25, close to 26 and have been doing good damage with this. My 2hs is around 120 and my double attack is in the 90s, so I hit for over 100 (combined) regularly. The note about damage getting better as you near your skill max seems to apply too. I was hitting for 48 to 50 with this for most of 5 levels. I just recently got my 2hs within 10 levels of max, and I am now all of a sudden hitting for 57 to 60 on the first hit, 45 to 50 on the second hit (when it connects). I got ahold of a Nathsar Greatsword, which has lower damage, but also lower delay, and I used it a bit to train. I still find myself returning to the BABS though. The Nathsar hits faster, but the hits are only around 40 or so. I will sacrifice around 1 second between hits to gain the extra 20 damage on the first shot. It just seems to work out better, IMHO. I know I will have to return to 1hs sometime in the future if I want to keep that skill up (around 105 now), but it just takes too long to kill something with the Giant (rest after every single kill in Paludal). I recommend getting a BABS if you have a chance. You will not be disappointed.

I got this sword at lvl one from a girl that was quieting and had no use for it. So she gave it to me and in 4 days no lie i was lvl 20. I love this sword it should be worth more.
I was given this sword by a friend when I was a lvl 16 Troll SK. I already had an Axe of the Ironback which was given to me in Upper Guk by a very kind Dwarf. To make a long story short, I refused to use this sword until I was 21. The reason being, the Axe hit harder than the BABS did for some reason. I got 29 almost constantly with the Axe and was lucky if I got 25 to 28 with the BABS and it was slower too. Once I hit 21 though, the damage began to increase exponentially. I am now 37 and hit double attacks for high 80s. I have never regretted keeping this sword, and have tried to attain one for each of my melees as they hit 20. GREAT sword!
All that is lost, is not Forsaken

Just to clarify a few things brought up in this thread here's a basic run down of the damage caps. There are two damage caps, one applies from level 1 to 10, the other one applies from 11 to 20. I don't remember exaclty what the cap is for 1 to 10, something like 15 damage, but the cap from 11 to 20 is 29 damage. This means that no matter what your strength is, what your weapon skill is at, or what the damage on your weapon is, you can not get a single normal hit for harder than the cap. There is not a a damage cap that is removed at 31. Melee's will notice an increase in their damage output at 31 because they reach a different damage table at that level. Different damage table means that there is an unlisted bonus to the damage of their weapon and/or an increase to how hard they can hit with the same damage weapon, but it is not capped to the best of my knowledge from 21 on up to 60. For example using a Poison Wind Censer (20/28 2hb) my troll warrior could not hit harder than 29 till lv 21 except for Critical hits and Crippling blows. As soon as I hit lv 21, however, I was hitting in the 50-60 range regularaly. These caps were imposed because they dont want lv 10 characters doing driveby's for xp.
In my personal oppinion I would suggest that pre-21 people should get the fastest weapon they can that will still occasionally hit for 29, not necessarily for the damage, but just to get a basis for weapon skills. You never know what kind of weapon your gonna be using later on. If you can hit relativley quickly for 29 you can tear through anything at low levels in no time flat. Generally speaking it's difficult (for a non-twink) to find a 1h weapon that can hit for the damage cap, but if you do find one grab a shield and go for it. At higher levels weapons are all about damage ratio, at lower levels damage ratio only matters if you are not hitting for the damage cap.

Fast forward almost 2 years, this still rings true, i started a ranger and gave him a twink weapon, i hit for 20 all the time even at level 1 as well
You are part right, but off on part as well.
There is a damage cap until 10, and another til 20. Howver, these are NOT ABSOLUTE caps. They are caps on the WEAPON damage.
The cap until 10 caps all weapons as 10 damage. So the 20/28 you mention would be a 10/28. Your max hit would then be 10*2+1+str bonus (21 is common max hit for untwinked, smaller races.)
The cap from 10-19 is 14. Your weapon becomes a 14/28, and max hit is now 2*14+1+str bonus. this is 29, unless you have high str. My kinda twinked human warrior had 160ish strength through his teen levels, and often max hit in the mid 30ish pts damage.
Note that you only seem to get the strength bonus if your weapon skill is near the max. I get it for 1hs, which is maxxed, but not for 2hs, which is 50pts behind right now. If you were only hitting for 29 with a troll warrior, you must have been using a wepons skill that was lagging.
At lvl 28, you start getting LEVEL based damage Bonuses. There also is some change to the damage formula somewhere around this point, as I have noticed occasional hits at 3x weapon damage, instead of 2x.

This is a great weapon once the first two damage caps are removed (the second at level 20).
For those low-level hybrids, I would start with an Axe of the Iron Back (16/36), however. Below level 20, any weapon with a DR above 14 acts as a 14 damage weapon (and therefore hits for a max of ~29).
The Axe of the Iron Back, then, has a lower delay and does the same amount of damage at those levels.
AFTER level 20, of course, it's a whole other story. Use this instead :)

Everyone,
I challenge you to find a better two handed weapon that is sellable, has less than 40 delay, does more than 20 damage that not only a level 15 can get reasonably but is less than 150plat. This is single-handedly the best two handed weapon you can buy lower than 40 IMHO. Do NOT leave the teens without one.

Ok - the Drakkel Icereaver procs a 30 point DD (not 52) at levle 30 not level 1.
Yes, it's a nice weapon - don't get me wrong... and you could probably get it for just as cheaply now...

Ok I'll bit, how about 24/40 2hs with effect Icerend (52dd) procs at lvl 1. Yeh I think that's a little better, drops off a higher level MOB but sells for alot less and sometimes is just not even looted. So The Drakel Icereaver is a better weapon in my book, and it looks like a real sword too. But the BABS is nice.

I have a Drakkel Icereaver on my 26 warrior, and it has yet to proc. According to the posts on the Icereaver, it starts pumping out the DD at 30 (as opposed to the Icegrinder, the 2hb version, which started proccing for me as soon as I got it).
BABS is a great weapon to have around, and relatively easy to go and get one of your own. Besides... it's fun to run around the depths of RunnyEye, whacking everything in sight.

For the past several days, my level 16 Paladin has been using a Fine Steel Two-Handed sword in the Estate of Unrest. It was a fine weapon with which I held my own and consistently hit for 25 damage - until I discovered Ghouls.
Knowing that I needed a magic weapon to fight effectively in Unrest and having heard people talk about the BABS, I went to the bank, emptied my account and headed to the Commons to try to pick one up in an auction. After finding a seller and equiping the BABS I quickly ran around and killed whatever I could find. What I noticed was that I was hitting for only slightly more damage than with the Fine Steel Two-Handed Sword - maybe for 28 or 29 points on average.
So, given that the Fine Steel Two-Handed Sword has a damage rating of 10 (I believe) and I hit for 25 with it, why do I not hit for more damage with a sword rated at 24 damage?
I suspect that the answer has to do with my level, but am not sure quite how it is calculated.
An addition point is that I bought a BALS at the same time and regularly hit for about 20 with it, but with a much lower delay. It almost makes more sense to use the BALS unless I'll reach a point where the BABS starts to inflict more damage than it does now (presumably because a level-based damage cap will be removed as I gain experience?)
I would appreciate any insights you may have.

An addition point is that I bought a BALS at the same time and regularly hit for about 20 with it, but with a much lower delay. It almost makes more sense to use the BALS unless I'll reach a point where the BABS starts to inflict more damage than it does now (presumably because a level-based damage cap will be removed as I gain experience?)
I would appreciate any insights you may have.

Dude...
Two Words: Damage Cap
Below level 20, the max you can hit with ANYTHING is 29 (I think).
After Dinging 21, you start hitting higher. (My max was about 52 with a Darkwood Battle Staff)
After Dinging 31, the last (I think) damage cap is lifted and you start doing killer damage.
Enjoy!

Latinchemist spells it out above, thats main reason why 2handers are ignored so much is because of the silly damage cap. why use a uber 2hander that hits for 30 when you can dual weild 2 that hit for 20 ea? goof on verants side, no serious damage dealer will use a 2hander prior to lvl 31.
That is not true...20+ the babs will outdamage and run of the mill 1h slashers you would have for this level. I play on a pvp server and your a damn fool if you run into pvp battle with your 1h slashers out because I will give you a free ride to your bind site for sure. I took my warriors SCHW and put them on a ranger...he does more dmg with the babs at 30 than he does with Icetooths Claw and blackened alloy long sword. 1h slashers good for maintaining aggro is all...ya wanna do real dmg below 40 get yourself a decent 2h slasher!

Last week I spent a relatively small amount of platinum and purchased the Blackened Alloy Bastard Sword. I was formerly using the Drakkel Forged Bastard Sword for two hand slashing, and have found the BABS to be a significant upgrade. This weapon is beneficial in several ways:
Cheap - This is a common market item due to the lower level required to obtain it. Two-handers also seem to be a bit cheaper than the more popular one-handers, since many melee classes prefer to dual wield.
Potent - The damage capability of this weapon is very good for the level it is aquired. It is also relatively fast for a two-hander, meaning you can train the skill more quickly and use your weapon as a more effective taunt.
Light Weight - One of the hassles of training a second weapon skill is carrying around the extra weight, and most lower-level two-hand slashers are extremely heavy. At 2.5 stones, the BABS will not hold you down.
Light Source - To my surprise, this weapon is an excellent light source! To a night-blind human paladin, this means you'll never be left in the dark.
Put all these benefits together, and you can see why I'd recommend the BABS to any paladin (or other 2HS user) for their first two-hand slashing purchase.

I was in there witha warrior and another druid, just hunting for fun (all green to me and warrior), and this sword dropped off a Foeslicer that wanderered into the room with the bartender. The warrior won the roll, and went home very happy. So, just kill everything you see down there. You may get lucky and get this sword,or at least some nice BA armor.

I just wanted mention that sometimes items drop off of other mobs because people like me give them items. I used to get FS weps and go to a newbie zone and "hand" them to the rats or snakes in the area. Sort of my way of helping out the newbies without having to actually deal with them. But, it could actually drop off these guys at random, who's to say with EQ these days?
Indeed this sword will drop from other Goblins than the named ones. I got one yesterday off a Goblin Destroyer.

It only drop from mobs that actually appear to be carrying weapons? Or do you really have to kill everything just in case? (Not that I'm some kinda Goblin pacifist, or anything - just want to save time and effort :))

The way it works for the spiders on the "River Run" is this, the purpleish looking spiders see invis, the basic black and red ones don't. I found this out with my 35 ranger. I'm not sure about the Froglocs or the Goblins in the area, but best not risk it.

More advice: DON'T "run the river!" It's thick with spiders. It is VERY dangerous until you're high enough they don't aggro (40ish). There's a safer route.
Find the building in the FV outpost with a tunnel that goes across the cove...or, just swim across the cove, well out away from the iksar statue. Keeping to seaward, run up the hill to the zone wall. IF you're far enough out toward the sea, there's no spiders at all...yet. Turn right and hug the zone edge till you reach the river mouth.
The zone edge is not 100% spider-free so you still need to be a little cautious. But it's WAY better than the "river run."
BTW the cave mouth you'll pass OVER (you ARE hugging the zone edge right?) leads to Dreadlands.

This is consistant with what I've seen. I've ran from FV to LOIO quite a few times with my 20 (at the time) enchanter and most times the spiders haven't attacked, but a couple times I've been attacked. I'd guess it's because some spider can see through invis and others cannot.
Absolutely NOT. the spider creatures in FV see through invis, as do some of the other mobs. Two hits from the spiders, and your level 6 would be toast. Take your sk to desert of Ro on the boat, and get someone to help you do the switch there.

Do they ? I've never had any problem with Camo myself (lvl20 ranger), don't know about Invis. to Animals though

Yes, some spiders do see through invis, some do not, if I had to guess probably 1/3 or 1/4 see through invis. You just have to con them to see when invis, if they scowl at you, they can see you, if indiff then you are ok, for the moment. Some dogs also see through invis. Even with invis and sow it still may be a better idea to find a different place to do the transfer.
I agree, even for a mid 20s char I would not recommend a run through FV to Swamp of No Hope if at all possible to avoid. I must say that I have done the run from LOIO to the city of FV countless times and have NEVER been seen by mobs while invis. That being said, it may be that the more dangerous mobs are north of there towards SONH. My 2cp...
The river run is always dangerous. Some of the spiders are druids and cast see invis on themselves. Also there is a named spawn in the area that sees invis. That being said, with an invis and a sow it's a low risk run. Just avoid spiders like you would when you arn't invis and you should be fine. If one dose agro keep running and make sure you stay near the river so you can find your corpse. I don't recomend this run to anyone blow level 14 (then again, I don't recomend lake until your level 16). And I don't recomend this run without invis/camo and a sow to anyone below level 50, but I like to play it safe.

If it does drop of anyone, it is EXTREMELY rare. It is a fairly common drop off of Lord Pickclaw and the Battlelord, thus explaining the high level posted to obtain.

I think this item can drop off anything in there. I found it down on the bottom level.
The Hierophant Oldwolf
I have heard that all the blackened alloy stuff (except the head item) drop from anything in runnyeye. However, if the swords drop on anything other than the bottom floor, I have not seen it. Only good drop I can think of above the third floor is the sporali defender, and it drops mostly from the moldmaster, although rare on the sporali defenders as well.
Only armor I have seen on the upper level goblins was blackened iron, not alloy.

I have used this BABS from lvl 18 until 40. It was great for my low stamina being wood elf. I want to move up to bigger and better now though. It just does not keep up with my dual wield damage now.
I just got this the other night from a guild buddy who had gotten a second one (lore, only one at a time!). I had been using a Deathwatch sword that I had gotten as low as level 5. This sword is so much better that I don't at all begrudge losing the HP bonus of the Deathwatch. And at SEVEN stone less weight, it just makes more sense to go with it. Consistent 56 hp hits at level 21 and I got my first 100+ hp Crit Hit with it. I think I am going to carry it for a GOOD LONG time!

This sword is a VERY nice sword for the drop rate and lvl of MOB. A very compareable sword is the Drakel Icereaver (one slower but reaver has a proc). However a VERY nice side effect of this weapon is it's weight and look. It looks like any old rusty short sword, but is swung 2 handed. In PvP this is a huge suprise for those not expecting to get pounded for 60pts a pop with a rusty short sword :) The downside in PvP is the Lightsource. It is as bright or brighter than a GLS. Happy Hunting.
Got mine from a Druid buddy. Cool thing is being able to pound the crap out of mobs as they limp away from a Ranger and Chanter duo. Every Ranger should have one of these in their possession at one time or another, 2HS is a great skill to keep maxed as you level.

I got one today off of a Destroyer in RE. Before anyone says someone probably planted it (and why would you plant it on a destroyer and not a rat or something), there was a lvl 54 monk running around killing everything so this was a freshly popped Destroyer. Also got a BALS off another destroyer later.

I agree about the looks...looks like crap - got one while poking around in Runnyeye the other day and hate the tiny look so much I gave it to some newbie. Too bad, pretty decent stats but guess I'll stick with my Blade of Xalgoz.
some people give items they don't want to bother selling to guards or bats .etc so its very possible that someone gave a BABS to the guard because he didn't want to sell it.

Not too sure on this whole new damage bonus stuff. I've been reading alot of the other posts on the new Chardok zone and people seem to believe that the dmg bns isn't just based on delay but on level. But I know that at being a paladin at level 32 this weapon has a dmg bns of 1. Which isn't too great but its still not a bad weapon.

I am a level 33 Shadowknight. I've had the babs since level 20, and I love it. I got 1 point dmg bonus at 29, and it's now at 3. Seems like every other level for me.
That is the level based damage bonus. That is the same for all weapons you can use. However, a 2handed weapon with delay OVER 40 has an additional damage bonus. So if you had this sword, and a drakkel forged bastard sword, the drakkel sword will begin to have a higher damage bonus, due to it's slower delay. I have heard that the greater the delay, the more bonus, but cannot verify as my warior hasn't hit 30 yet.
If this is true, then the supporting melees (not tanking) might want to revisit the old weighted axe.

This sword is so cheap because it is so common; it practically drops for you. I am actually surprised that Verant has not severely nerfed the frequency with which they drop, considering that they have not held back with nerfing the drop frequency of other popular items.

This sword is the single reason the 2HS market on MT has gone in the crapper. When RE was liberated you had so many people who just wanted to get rid of them, selling them for 100 to 200 just to get something for them so they could go get another. The next thing you know you have a sword that should IMHO be sold for around 800p to 1k with that Damage and Delay that you have trouble getting 400p for because everyone just wanted to get rid of them and make 800 on 4 to 8 of them rather than 1 of them.
These same people then complain later that they cant get crap from or anyone to buy the formerly decent 2HS like LoW, 2H Practice, Drakkael Forged BS, and all the other 20ish delay and mid40 delay weapons. Heck, even really nice 2HS like the Mithril have been affected, going for around 3k before RunnyEye was liberated now I have seen them as low as 500p with average being around 800p to 1k. For a 2HS that is 21dmg 30dly with the haste factored in. Sad.

In my eyes this is a very nice 2hs weapon, but its almost unsellable on Bertoxx. As a 55 druid I am able to track down and kill any mob in Runnyeye with ease. I was getting one for my Warrior alt and got 2 more as I tried to get me a Black Alloy Medal for my Necro. Anyway I had to sell these babies for 150pp and 100pp as noone seems to be using 2hs right now. It might change with the next patches but until then this is really odd. I will use it with my Warrior for sure, think its a nice weapons.

Today, I was in the gorge killing evil eyes and ran into Runnyeye to bank. The goblin bartender had one of these for sale. With my amiable faction with the goblins and my charisma gear on, I bought it for 134pp. Now I'm off to Frontier Mountains to work my 2hs before I give the sword to my troll warrior.

This sword is great for lvl 20 somethings that are likely to hunt Runnyeye now. I was with a 51 shaman, I being a 30 druid for safety and very few mobs even conned blue to me. We got the sword and Coif off some kind of warlord, I think, conned white to me only one of night. I was there to see if I could get the blackened alloy medallion no luck. He was there for the sword for his baby SK. That the spawn is random know I believe is an improvement it will keep the farming down. We just got very lucky along with track.

I was fighting in the west commons and a guy just walks up and gives me this sword. He didnt even say anything but np when I thanked him. For a struggling lvl 12 SK (my only char) Its quite a gift.
