This item is one of the very few items (beyond 'monk only' gear) which will give a 'wrist wrap' look. Whether you use old models and Velious armor textures or original armor textures, you'll get that fighting wrap look. This may only show on human and iksar models... no idea what the appearance is on other races.
I have spoken with a few rangers who have camped the South Karanas for weeks and have never seen any mobs named Knari Morawk, is this item dropped off another mob? or does Knari spawn on a very long timer? is there any placeholder for him? I am looking for this item for my monk and nary a master ranger has been able to find this elusive aviak at any time.
The information posted in the chart above is a little bit off.
I've soloed Knari three times (as often as I could find him) between 25 and 28. He hardly hurts me at all, I think he's green to me. (I'm a shaman and I don't even bother to kite him.) So 30 is NOT the level you need for this item. I'd guess druids could kite Knari at somewhere between 19-21, maybe a little higher for the melee classes but not a lot higher.
I now have two bracelets, out of three kills, so I don't think this is a rare drop. Knari is hard to find, though, and he wanders all over the zone. I've killed him at both the northern and southern ends of the zone.
And the price seems WAY out of whack. This bracelet has AC 4, DEX 3, and AGI 3. A serpentine bracer has no AC, but DEX 9 and AC 3. So basically you are trading 6 DEX for 4 AC. I love a little extra AC, and I'd certainly rather have this than the serpentine, but is 4 AC at the cost of negative 6 DEX really worth another 220 plat?
This is just another EQ example of pricing anomalies based on how common the item is. The serpentine bracer is very common, the electrum bracelet is less so. So the electrum bracelet commands a hefty premium over what its stats are worth. If you are looking to buy, I'd take the serpentine, it's a better value. Of course, if you can loot two electrum bracelets, like I did, then more power to you.
More important than the stats to an Iksar is this, we cannot wear the serp bracer. Why we cannot wear them is beyond me, but it takes that item right out of the equation for us.
I coned him as a lvl 24 war and he was deep green i thought he was an egret at first but saw the name and decided to extract his giblets, went down easy barely hitting me.
I was camping South Spire when I saw him on track, decided to have a look. When I found him, I forgot to try and hail him and what not, oh well, just blasted away. Dropped really easy for a 29 druid. But, like the rest of this stuff in SK, it's all random and rare. Anyone interested in buying one a Saryrn server, give me a tell.
Great monk item, way better than Serpentine in my opinion. A pair of these (if you can find them) is outstanding for any monk who can't afford Dragonbone yet. Add Lupine Claw gauntlets and you've got a great set up.
The Electrum Bracelet is a sometimes drop from the named aviak Knari Morawk. He also drops an Aviak Feather used in the research for the Magigian Air Element pet. This bird drops easy for a level 25.
I attained this at lvl 23 as a wizard, found the named aviak running south of the hermits house. Sorry it's been awhile since I killed him don't remember his name.
