Still Dropping

We whacked Goz Sunday on Povar and Goz was nice enough to drop 2 of these for us! I was a lucky recipient of one and a monk got the other. As an SK I can't crit yet but I can't wait till I get my aa crits, I would love to hit for 476! For now my 2hb is 160 and my highest hit with this has been 280 at level 61 with 270 str. This may just replace my Narandi lance - the ratio on this is much better and seeings how I run around as a skelly its kinda funny.

Same weight as TStaff, Max crits of 467, nice DPS, lower aggro than dual weilding, and it's fun to wail on stuff with a shovel.

I sent an updated pic but like the last 6 or so items I sent here I don’t think it will be updated. Also the damage bonus is 37.

I can second this. My brother has this on Tholuxe Paells and it is indeed 50/43 now.

They need to have a sound especially for this type of weapon. One that actually sounds like a shovel hitting an object!

CLANG!!!
Result of 2H changes?
# Oct 08 2001 at 11:48 PM Rating: Default
So, can anyone attest to the effect on this item from the 2H changes in the most recent patch?
I just got this.

I'm a Erudite Grave Lord and on a pvp server, Vallon-Zek. I just got this weapon the other night. This shovel fits me well and the effect is right click, not a proc. Very nice shovel, looks good on a Grave Lord, especially with my amulet of necropotence in skell form. :)
#REDACTED, Posted: Aug 20 2001 at 8:04 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) hehe, this would make a great conversation piece for a necro. then you could truly be a grave digger...

Summon: Food effect awesome for an Iksar necromancer?

All Iksar are born with the ability to forage. If used properly it will supply you with more food than you can ever eat. Just keep a stack of food and a stack of drink in your inventory for emergencies (and to keep from seeing the "You are out of food and drink" messages), and hit that forage button every time it pops up. If you find water, drink it. If you find food, eat it.

I have several Iksar characters: 51 necromancer, 38 shaman, 31 monk, 17 beastlord. Each and every one of them lives almost completely off of their forage skill. My monk had the exact same stack of fish head soup from his mid teens all the way up until level 30, and never had to replace it. Out of the stack of 20, he had only eaten 4 of them. He wasn't powerleveled to 30 in a day either; I've been playing him for a few weeks now. I just kept my food and water in a ration bladder (0.3wt) that I bought in Cabilis; ration bladders seem to make food last much longer than normal, and since I was always eating and drinking what I had foraged as soon as I had foraged it, I rarely used any of my store-bought supplies. There have been several game-days where I simply couldn't eat or drink any more, and had to drop or destroy foraged food and water just to keep my encumberance down! My monk has actually given foraged food to my ranger friend when she was hungry. Now that's irony! :)

If this thing went to a necro, the necro would be a loot hog jerk with no respect to those who actually need weaps, all the melees would be pissed to high hell, the raid leader would be a fool for allowing it, and the situation would wholly suck. There is little if anything with a ratio as good as/better than this and a necro would not reap the benefits of this ratio, instead, he/she would loose of int, lots of raw mana, lots of resists, lots of ac, lots of stats and end up with this thing collecting dust in the bank, thus worsening the situation...

# Aug 05 2001 at 10:41 AM Rating: Default
your flaming a weapon the does 35/37 damage, thats freaking awsome, so what if it summons food and is a shovel, its all about the damage. i would love to have one of these.
#Anonymous, Posted: Aug 05 2001 at 5:25 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) The effect on the shovel may say Summon Food, but in actuality, the effect causes mobs to stop in their tracks and laugh their ***** off at the person using a barn tool for a weapon instead of a sword or club like everyone else.

Hell I'd use this too bad my 2hb skill is at about ZERO. Maybe I should try to get the naginata. I need a 2-hander. Hehe currently stuck with a blood fire and a bloodpoint. (blood points look so gay when equipped)

Has anyone else picked up Bards cant use 2hb? so why cant dem rouges get a peice of that action?>
RE: heh Bards?
# Aug 04 2001 at 11:03 PM Rating: Decent
wow I didn't know that bards can't use 2hb. This really makes no sense at all now, what's the point of letting one class without the skill use while not letting the other class without the skill use it? I could understand if it would make more sense from a roleplaying standpoint (like letting necros use some scythes that are slashing) but I doubt that anyone thinks of a shovel as a weapon that a bard would be that likely to wield. I think verant just didn't think this through enough but it doesn't really matter since there's no reason a rogue or a bard should use this except for laughs.

In a roleplaying standpoint the bard could be played as a jester and would increase the chances of using this "Barn Tool" (Barn tool, coming from another post)
Awesome!
# Aug 03 2001 at 7:06 PM Rating: Decent
This is the first and probably only weapon that will ever make me wish rogues could use 2hb. I'd never have to buy food again and..IT'S A SHOVEL! It would be great if I could walk around smackin mobs with a shovel! Forget all those swords and clubs and daggers! The only reason I might not use it is because I wouldn't be able to backstab, but I'm sure there would be some situations where I could take it out and it wouldn't make much of a difference.

Old school update
# Aug 03 2001 at 3:33 PM Rating: Decent
Hell, my druid used to carry the Wee Harvester back in the day. Seems like years ago he had that. Hmm, actually it WAS years ago back when he was in his teens.

Wee Harvester: 10/45 Str 1, Sta 1 Wis 3, Effect of Summon Food

Hey, back a couple years, this was actually the only WIS hand item he could get. Hell, even after I finally got his Testament, he still carried around the shovel so he could have a conversation piece.

Besides, it was funny to see the druid get up and start smacking dark elf Initiate Familiars with a freakin shovel.

Have some fun with the game. There's no end. Even if you get the ultimate weapon and armor, there's no end to the game. If you don't have fun with the journey, you'll be very disapointed with the destination. Simply because there isn't one.

People are right.

Just enjoy this item if you get it...rarely is there an item that kicks *** AND is a weird conversation piece.

... " I will dig your grave with my mighty Shovel o' Smackdown..."
... " What? Ran out of food? Let me dig you up some..."

Feel free to insert any other lame shovel-related comments...also, I think there are some e-motes that make it look like you are actually using it to dig a hole.

Try having THAT kind of fun with you puny "Primal Great Staff of God-Smacking" ^_^

Couldn't have said it better myself... there's no "goal" in everquest; you don't kill the big baddie at the end and win. Things constantly change for a reason, and that's to keep it interesting. I for one have a lot of fun equipping my all/all mandolin on my dark elf necromancer and confusing the hell out of people. A shovel would be equally as amusing.

Although this is a great weapon, I wouldn't use it...C'Mon, it's a friggin' SHOVEL! Monks are already running around in caster-robes (aka: Dresses) and now we'll be wielding garden-tools? Why not just give us stilts that proc Baloon-Animals? Nah, although monks are famous for saying "Oh what a nice piece of equipment, it is MEANT for us" about virtually anything, you can have this one...

First I would like to say I do NOT roleplay, don't enjoy it. That being said this is a great item to roleplay a monk! :p
Why? Go out and rent a few import martial arts films, you'll eventually find one where the hero is a monk who spends his entire life at a shrine practicing martial arts, wearing "dresses" and tending the shrine.
So now in a roleplay since we have Mr. Monk standing in his shrine in a dress with a shovel tending the shrine's garden. Mr. Orc Pawn who is sent in to scout for the invading orc army walks through the gates. Mr Monk leaps 500 feet and kicks Mr. Orc Pawn's head clean off his shoulders then turns back to his garden. Mr. Orc Leader is shocked that Mr. Orc Pawn is dead and so sends his entire Legions of Pink Orcs to attack the shrine. Mr. Monk turns around and sees the Legions of Pink Orcs running through his shrine gates and moves to defend his shrine using the item he has in his hands, his shovel! Now, in the hands of any common fool the shovel isn't much of a weapon but in the hands of Mr. Monk who's trained martial arts for his entire life it's lethal! Then after Mr. Monk has crushed the Legions of Pink Orcs and the last few survivors flee in terror he calmly turns back to his garden and continues to tend it.

Personally I wish it had been a broom but I'll probably never see one(least not for a long time yet). Congratz to anyone that gets it, may you enjoy your super garden tool and may you never go hungry again!

Thank you so much for that bit of humor.

Seems like everyone wants to argue on here that something is 19% haste, NO IT'S 18% HASTE AND YOU ARE A COMPLETE MORON FOR THINKING IT COULD BE 19%.

It's nice to see people just enjoying themselves.

Ok now, breath, relax, and enjoy the game.

Thanks again.

Sorry to disapoint but I bumped into the VM warrior who's using thing in SG yesterday .. and it looks just like a shovel .. nothing of note. I'd not head of the item and wondered what the lvl 60 war who won Quellious Botb War competition was using a shovel for .. now I know. Just shows the lengths people are preprared to go to for a slightly different look.
