Item Lore: Ruined Sword Hilt. Still no further info on what it's for. I'm giving up and deleting it. Which means next week's patch is going to make it into a required item for my Mage's epic or something since he's the one that has it.
From http://eq.crgaming.com/epics/paladin.asp also... "The Sword is found off of Keeper of the Tombs, a level 51 creature in The Hole. The spawn time can be 7-10 days long so you will have to do a lot of waiting for this part unless you are lucky. The actual name of the sword is unknown but it should be something like Tainted Sword."
I don't think this one is actually the item you need, as we got it off a random mob.
