DOES NOT DROP

REPEAT: DOES NOT DROP

Don't ask where it drops or who drops it - IT DOES NOT DROP!
This does not drop any more

I went to befallen when my rogue was 25th level and a friend killed the I think it was 3rd level down boss or something like that and he drops these. I got one - it looks very nice but as stated - damage/delay sucks.

This does NOT drop any more. You are not going to find it anywhere.
Is it still out there???
# Jul 24 2002 at 10:19 PM Rating: Decent
Can anyone tell me if this weapon is still around anywhere? and if so could you please tell me where and how to get it?

Thanks

Just to let everyone know, befallen was changed for about 2 weeks, around a year ago, then it was changed back. I am not sure on the story line about it, but it has something to do with the DE's that were in WC for a while. Gratz on the ppl that got some of the stuff in here, camped my rouge in here during the change and actually got 2 of these weapons, they look awsome, especially duel weilded, but dmg wise there are tons better. have a good day

I saw it

Myself and a friend decided to hang out in Befallen for a while. He was looking for Gynok Moltor for the Paw of Opalla quest, and apparently he wasn't up. We went exploring and had no problems getting to the room where this guy spawns. We had no idea who he was. He was standing there when we walked in, along with an Enslaved Follower and 2 Servants of T'Vyl. We killed them all and he dropped the stiletto the first time. We noticed it was NO DROP so we just cursed our luck that we couldn't use it.

Later, I was twinking a rogue and wanted to go back down there and see if I could grab that stilleto for him. I handed my rogue the keys and he sneaked all the way down there with no problems and camped. Logged back in with my Shaman and proceeded to kill everything in sight. I never saw this guy spawn, but we managed to get a Servant's Blade pretty quickly. It'll be nice in my off hand for my rogue later on.

I'm a level 41 shaman and my friend was a 34 druid. Except for the fact that he kept catching himself in his AOE spells (dork) we didn't take much damage at all. My pet even got lost by falling in a hole, killed all sorts of things, and then came back to me with half his health left.

If you're a pure caster and don't have a lot of HP, I can understand how you could get waxed in befallen even at level 40 pretty easily. We got hit with Harm touches and some high damage backstabs a few times.
Update
# Aug 11 2001 at 8:22 AM Rating: Decent
A Ranger in my guild went down to camp this bad boy today. He was only 32 and thus I expected him to have a heck of a time but he was out of there in 3 spawns with everything he needed:

First Spawn: Shimmering Ruby Stilleto
Second Spawn: Shimmering Ruby Stilleto
Third Spawn: Servant's Sword

He had to wait in the corner for me to come rescue him as he had no Lockpick Skill and was traped down there. I almost killed him.

Not much information but I guess some people can get incredibly lucky and be there for 36 minutes and get fully decked and others can be there for 15 hours and get one of each.. So have fun

=)
Don't think this will work

Very sweet pic Samini. My paladin loves to pierce and may just be making a side trip to Befallen to rid Norrath of some vile undead and grab a stilleto as a bonus.

#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 31 2001 at 3:05 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I bet it makes a really bad rogue weapon and besides theres soooo sooo many better rogue weapons out there with better ratios or more damage!
RE: naw, you don't want this
# Aug 05 2001 at 8:52 AM Rating: Default
I humbly beg to differ. This may (I stress MAY) be the only 10 damage piercer that a lvl 30ish rogue could camp with a group. The other two that pop to mind are the Slime Coated Harpoon (which a lvl 30 might be able to buy, but never camp) and the Spine Chill Spear (same thing). Granted, there are better rogue weapons out there. But remember, there is not a single rogue piercer out there with a damage greater than 15 (at least not one that has been advertised). The delay isn't that much of an issue; the delay on the SCH and SCS are both around 25-27, if I remember correctly, so their ratios aren't that much different. And it has the same proc as the Burning Rapier....hrm...that would be a fun combination. Heh...except for having to be really good at evading to avoid all the agro :P Anyway, the rogue piercers with damages greater than 10 are not easy to come by. Many are no drop and all of the ones that aren't no drop go for rather large sums of money. If I were a 30ish rogue, I would be very happy to get one of these by camping it, as opposed to saving up 1K or so and spending hours in EC or GFay hoping for a SCH.

I think that person was being sarcastic and said that to keep people from camping the spawn so she could get one...
More Information
# Jul 29 2001 at 7:51 AM Rating: Decent
The Spawn that needs to be killed is Korven Niseres (He or his PH spawn every 11Minutes 45Sec or roughly 12 minutes) behind the rocks in the Ogre SK room. He drops "a Smoked Glass Key", key to level 3 of Befallen, each time and some PP.

16 hour camp no Stilleto and 3 Servant's Swords.
I guess you must have to get VERY lucky to get this sword as I have wasted an entire day sitting and killing and I failed to get it. It is going away anyway so bah.

Thanks for reading, have better luck =(

This is definitly a hard drop to get. I have spent 4 RL days off and on camping Korvin. He has only spawned 5 or 6 times for me and each time the stiletto has not dropped.

Old Ogre SK Room?

For those of us who haven't seen the mob layout in the old befallen, where is the old ogre sk room in the dungeon?

Thanks

# Jul 09 2001 at 10:27 AM Rating: Default
Well, since Befallen has just gone back to its' everyday, packed-full-of-undead state of being this is all moot. Speaking of which; WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THAT?! All the DEFs packed it up, ran for the hills? Got sick of the high rent and lousy view? It's quiet... too quiet...

Anyhow, killed the guy easily as a 36 Rogue, plus was able to break the room without much difficully. 20 minute spawn or so, with a place holder. PH drops Servant's Blade (somewhere on this site you can see that) and Fine Steel+some pp. I actually got exp for Korsen, even though he conned very green to me...
Twinks and Farming
# Jul 09 2001 at 9:25 AM Rating: Decent
Sorry to say, my level 8 twinked druid is due to hours of camping HGs in groups and BUYING her items. Not ALL twinks are due to scumbag, high level farmers. Heck, Jhared is only a lvl 36. So, some twinks aren't all recipients of PHARMED items, just hard work and lots of saved up pp.

Just my two cp about twinks.

I did notice that Befallen was back to "normal" on Sunday, July 8th. I was looking for this stiletto. I did get the Servant's Blade off of a Servant of T'Val. She fell after two hits, one for 20 and one for 28.

I sure hope they change it back soon. Just waiting for the charred bone key to spawn took 9 hours. I killed the Dark Elf SK twice and he did not have the key. They whole 9 hours, the "normal" human female SK NEVER spawned.

On Sunday, when all was back to "normal," she spawned quickly and I got the charred bone key.

Crap? maybe to some lvl 5 rogue twink (which is porbably what this guy is) but for an untwinked rogue this is a good weapon, it has a ratio equal to a ssoy or a crystal grinder. it has 10 damage, which is great for backstabed, and it drops off of a lvl 30 mob so it would be easily attainable for a rogue.
this is a great weapon for a rogue, granted its not the most "uber" peircer thier is, but for lvl 30 i wouldn't exactly call this crap

lvl 30 mob
# Jul 04 2001 at 6:37 PM Rating: Decent
I was first one on mith marr to get one of these, very nice weapon i must say, and unique look. the guys name started with a K, he was on the second floor behind the locked door behind a rock. He conned blue to me at lvl 33, and im expecting he is lvl 30. I've been camping this room for about a week now (for xp, im not a farmer) and I was surprised when i showed up for my nightly xp run, and he was up. So i killed him and he dropped this.

I got this little toy of Korsen Niceras, who spawns in the old Ogre SK room in Befallen. I have a pair and use them to practice piercing :-) I've killed him 6 times and got 2 Stilettos, he spawns behind the rock in said room. He's perhaps level 25 or so, but I'm not sure as I'm 49 and don't have a way to measure effectively. The weapon is a very cool looking item, with trefoiled crosstree and a transparent channel in the blade.

That sounds like a common drop to me. Any info on spawn time for this guy? Also, what is he; Hybrid, Warrior, Rogue, caster?

I went to Befallen to raise my picklock, haven't really been into EQ lately, so I hadn't heard about all the changes. Much to my surprise, the place is packed with DEFs and their pets. Needless to say, my 'Train' button got a little workout as I aggro'd half the zone...

# Jul 05 2001 at 3:46 PM Rating: Decent
When I was campin' up some o' these to show off ta my friends, out of 4 spawns he had this once... Never casted, never let him have a chance to do any backstabbin'... Think I remember I saw him kick though, so I'mma say warrior. Seemed to be just like waitin for the old ogre SK, spawn point is same spawn time as the rest of the elf spawns but he's got place holders.

Not just for rogues
# Jul 04 2001 at 12:15 AM Rating: Decent
Everyone's talking like this is a rogue only weapon. This is also a nice off-hand warrior weapon, and one of the few 1hp weapons for paladins. Any rogue grouped with my warrior or paladin can expect to ROLL for this.

RE: Not just for rogues

Since we Rogues avoid combat as well as we do, we don't need the Hit Points, AC, etc. that the tanking classes have. We are meant for DEALING damage, hence our poisons, backstabs, and the already massive ******* of Rogue-usable piercers out there, a good many of them with delays lower than this...not to mention the effects on some of those weapons. SBD, Stiletto of the Bloodclaw, Burning Rapier, etc. If you are referring to "stealing" as pickpocketing then I should inform you that you cannot steal magic items. If you simply meant you would ninja-loot it then you are just BEGGING to get you're account suspended or banned if you actually did that. My Rogue keeps ALL her weapon skills maxxed for her level...and there are plenty of 1hb and 1hs weapons for me to do this with. There are very few 1hp weapons usable by Pallys unfortunately...this makes one relatively easy to attain in the 20s, with a decent damage/delay. Just roll on it. =P

/em points and laughs at the silly Paladin

Oh yeah, you need one more weapon in your ******* because the Crystalline Blades, Ghoulbanes, and Messenger of The Queen just aren't doing the big damage?
Rogues get boned on fighting ability, hit points, AC, etc. (the only thing we do well is avoid combat) and you want them to give up a decent weapon because you want to work up your Pierce skill in your off time? You roll... I'll just steal it.

Later note: /roleplay: Apolly-loggies for the mix-up, this guy was such an easy kill that every Pally in Norrath could have two if he wanted.
VERY Nice
# Jul 03 2001 at 9:47 PM Rating: Decent
Something I thought I would point out - this weapon can be dual wielded, as it is not LORE. As someone said earlier, this is weapon has a huge aggro proc, so supposing you were to give a warrior a pair of these... :D
what drops it?
