Rare? Really?

Is it Really Rare? Every time i've killed cook he's had it... ive killed him 30-40 times...

Every time i have killed cook (only seen him 4 times) he never had shield. Usually see thick boned skeleton who has an emerald and fine steel warhammer.

kurns shield and sbs ARE identical. sbs is pretty easy to get in crushbone off the orc trainer, since you're in an area of the zone that rarely gets trained. when the throne room wipes, the train runs safely by you at the bottom of the plateau you're hunting on!

the stats are the same, and both act as a lightsource. now go tell yo mama she's calling you. ;)
Graphic?

Does the dang shield have a graphic that is better looking than the plain SBS shield?

RE: dont bother go get a shiny brass sheild instead

the reason NOT to get a SBS instead is that it drops on a diffrent continent. to hard to get off kunark go to that mostly "good" continent and get back to kunark. its much easier to get a kurn sheild

Don't bother, go get a shiny brass shield instead

This item has the same stats as a shiny brass shield (http://eqdb.allakhazam.com/item.html?item=1103), which drops off the Orc Trainer in Crushbone. The orc trainer is much easier to kill than the Skeletal Cook ... so go get the Shiny Brass Shield instead!

Same stats, same weight ... and the shiny brass shield also acts as a light source.

I have a shield of kurns and it also acts as a lightstone, so what is the point?

I myself read it that way at first.
That's a problem with 'also' and 'as well'. They can represent exactly opposite meanings, depending on the reader.

The 'flame' suggests he read it as a contradiction:
"shield of Kurn does NOT act as a lightsource, while the shiny shield DOES."
And read that way, it's indeed incorrect, as the Shield of Kurn does act as a lightsource.

Same stats as the Shiny Brass Shield
# Mar 26 2001 at 4:10 PM Rating: Default
This Shield has the same stats as the Shiny Brass Shield from Crushbone. And it pops about 1/5 from the trainer, and he pops about every 15-20 mins

This is just an example of Verant's short sided thinking when it comes to items.
"hey, lets rename the shiny brass shield, and make it a super rare drop off a super rare spawn in the bottom of a lowbie dungeon" and then "hey lets make one of the best weapons around and then make it drop off a level 20ish creature in a low level dungeon, just make sure it's better than half the weapons that drop off stuff twice as high in the old world AND has a proc and stats"
#Anonymous, Posted: Mar 22 2001 at 1:04 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I'm on Tarew Marr Server and would like to buy a set Burynai armor and this shield. Anyone interested in selling all of a set or pieces of a set please let me know and I'll try to meet you online. I'm currently camped on the ramp of Kurn's Tower.

But dude it a KURNS shield very rare, so much more valuable LOL
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 11 2001 at 4:23 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Mock all you want, at least you have a chance at getting a group in Kurns then in Highpass. Highpass sucks, Kurns good! :) Hell, the Old World sucks, Kunark and Velious good! :P
