Boneshear  

 

I looked through the posts and saw a few questions of whether the chips summoned were norent or not, but I don't think I saw an answer. I just wanted to verify that they are NOT norent, and can indeed be sold to vendors, and stack with chips dropped by skeletons etc.

The effect is not that bad I suppose. Now that they made pets 1 chip per summon instead of 2 I never run out of bone chips. However, when I did I remember it was a real problem if I was in a zone with no undead and no friendly necros were nearby to lend me some. In that case, this would be a great item. Although we don't melee well, you could always pick a fight with a green or melee a mob when your pet or a group member has the aggro till you get a few procs off. And 10int is not bad for a range item.

P.S. Anyone know how this looks when its equipped in the primary slot?

I've just done some log-parsing and based on that, it looks like the memory-wipe aspect of screaming terror is affected by CHA, but it's improved BY HIGHER CHA. In about 20 tests against the same mob (the 50 monk skellie in BW near the meteor) at 61 CHA and another 20 at 111 CHA I saw a 50% memory-wipe with the higher CHA vs a 33% rate at the lower CHA. It may simply be a threshold function (50% at 100CHA) or it may be linear or whatever. I need more data points.

However, until I have more data you may want to be cautious about trashing your CHA as a necro, since memory-wiping mobs with ST is one of our most powerful get-out-of-jail-free abilities when soloing!

This is really a good sword to have. I had it in my primary, but use it for range now. The proc comes pretty often for dark elf necro. I just keep about 40 chips on me now, where I used to carry over 200 before buying more. Now I just equip it when I am down to 20 chips, pick a guildmate playing a troll or iksar, and /duel. They don't really mind.

This is the rarest drop off the Foreman at the Bank. We killed him 5 times over a period of a few hours. (Got 5 Mask of Secrets, and 1 Tribal War Boots).

"Can be equipped in the range slot"

As long as you don't accidently throw this thing at a mob, this has to have some of the most amazing, well-rounded stats for a Necro's range slot. The extra intelligence (10) will allow you to free up some other slots for other needed gear, not to mention the extra mana (25). As if that wasn't enough, the item also gives an Armor Class (5) and Disease Resist (8) bonus, and the negative charisma (-10) suits the necro perfectly. The damage/delay ratio isn't half bad either, and if this proc is indeed triggered, this is the ideal Necro range slot.

I wouldn't mind equipping a Mage equivalent to this item:

Slot: RANGE PRIMARY
Skill: Piercing Attack Delay: 20
Damage: 9 Damage Bonus: 0 AC: 5
INT: +10 MANA: +25 SV MAGIC: +8
Effect: (Misc. Effect)
Weight: 1.5 Size: Small
Class: MAG
Race: HUM ERU DEF GNM HIE

The effect could be the same old "Reclaim Energy" for all I care. Wishful thinking, I guess.

All in all, Chardok has some amazing items coming out of it, and this is definitely one of them.

WOW, very nice NEC item. Looks like the new Chardok is a good hunting place finaly.

Ok, I can't be the only one that wishes Verant would go back and re-tune the rest of the Old World dungeons like this.

This is something they should have been doing all along. Changing things around so they don't get stale. The only real gameplay involved in this game is killing things and getting treasure. Having the same treasure in the same dungeons for 2 and a half years is kinda boring.

There's actually a sense of enjoyment in Chardok again. You never know what you may get on any loot.

so i take it bone shear is summon bone chips? i was wondering that

Summons 1 bone chip each proc. Seems to proc often.
