Holy shît that's a LOT of work for this crappy blade...damned nearly as hard as my SK epic and the stats are no where near as good...but then again..when I am bored as hell and got nothing to do for a few weeks, I might just sit around and do this one to sell em, or maybe twink up a newbie or two...even if the damned thing won't proc

Moron...frosty is 60dd/-15ac debuff....you know rather than speculate on what the proc does and sound like a fool, you could just easily have looked up the procs effect on this database. IDIOT!!!

This weapon is god-awful, especially for the effort involved. If you don't understand why, then you don't understand what makes certain melee equipment desirable. It would have to proc a 400pt lure dd to make up for that ratio, and even then, it would just be a toy for soloing when restricted to ranger, bard, and rogue.
I found this post humorous:
quote: "Although the dmg/dly of the weapon isn't spectacular for a lvl 50+ quested sword, the proc is amazing! Since rogues/bards/rangers typicaly have high DEX values, I can see this thing procing 2 times during normal exp fights, and maybe 5+ times for big epic mobs. That's a lot of dmg (and potential agro) from the proc."
Since when does a high level ranger, bard or rogue WANT aggro? Since never. Hell, rangers and rogues both have specific methods of REDUCING their aggro to allow them to do their jobs more effectively. i.e. do damage WITHOUT gaining aggro. A 250 dmg dd + stun is not that amazing, not when only rng/brd/rog can use it. Drop 5 delay off of it, make it warrior usable and it's decent. In its current form, this weapon is a complete joke for the effort involved.

I keep laughing when I read through this page and see people saying "this sucks this sucks this sucks."
Ok - IF you are a level 58-60 ranger AND you have really great armor with good stats AND you have access to the truly great weapons in the game AND you have your epic, then sure. Go ahead and call this crap, etc. And if that's the case, why not take what you've got, and quit pounding on this one? We don't all have the cash or the ability to raid zones to get the uber gear, so sometimes a quest sword like this is a good answer.
Funny, I remember when I first quested my LSOEE, somebody asked me the stats and I said "16/29" before saying anything else, and they promptly said "that blows" but once I reeled off the rest of the stats they were like "OMG!" The thing doesn't even proc, but I have it in my off hand and regularly whack for over 100 with it.
SBOT is 12/27 +11 dmg bonus. LSOEE is 16/29, magic bane+5. Centi LS 14/27 no bonus. Centi 12/25 no bonus. Hey, my Fluxbladed from Fear is 7/22 with a 150DD that procs like no tomorrow, but because I know how to manage my aggro, I use it.
A 46 ranger could get this sword. When my guild goes to Hate, we have been regularly pulling the mob to get the initial quest sword from within the first 25% of clearing the first floor. (so he is not "deep" in). The guy in SK is a pushover, as is the chick in Rathe and the Imp in the Hole (all 3 mobs can be achieved with single groups; the only one that takes any amount of time is the Hole). The only time-consuming factor about this quest is working up the Jaggedpine faction. Solo, it takes quite a bit. But if you get a group and really work at it, the faction (and exp!) can fly.
I did most of the factioning solo, and it took me a lot of time, but it was very satisfying to finally see that ally message. I don't have my epic yet, but I like this sword. If you worry about the proc - put it away during raids, especially if you don't know how to keep aggro off yourself. If you want to solo, this will help you do it - and soloing you're aggro central anyway unless you're fearkiting animals.
Procs seem pretty random anyway, regardless of weapon. I can have same gear/buffs and do the same raid twice, and be a proc'ing fool against a mob, and then next time, same mob, no proc. I'd never equip this on my rogue (if she followed Karana) as she has a hard enough time keeping aggro down when grouped w/tanks who don't know how to work with rogues. But my ranger... she will be happy to complete this.
Hmmm. How many of you bashing this blade NOW would have given anything to get it before you got too uber? :)
Uberness is in the eyes of the beholder. Quit blocking the view.

This is completely terrible for the amount of work you have to do for it. It's nearly epic level, in terms of the amount of time needed to get all the appropriate parts.
You must kill 4 50+ mobs in obscure places to get this. One is the DRot Knight in PoH, level 63 I think, and is on miniboss timer. He's a lot tougher than you think, because he has a strong lifetap.
And the weapon is a piece of junk. The ratio blows, the proc is decent, but for the classes that can use it, is not very useful.
If they would drop 6 off the delay and bump the proc to some sort of 120dd lure type proc, it might be worth going for.
The weapon is OK for show I suppose if you are the sort that likes to do big quests. This one isn't too terribly invovled, but nonetheless, the work/reward ratio is not very good. I would expect 2/3 epic quality for 2/3 epic effort.

"This is completely terrible for the amount of work you have to do for it. It's nearly epic level, in terms of the amount of time needed to get all the appropriate"
Umm... Have you even looked at the ranger epic? This is a piece of cake compared to our epic.
"The weapon is OK for show I suppose if you are the sort that likes to do big quests. This one isn't too terribly invovled"
First you say it's very hard and long, now you say it's easy. Are you saying completing epics are easy? Before you post, go and actualy do the quests.

What i think most people are missing is the situational use of this sword. I am 59 Karana ranger. I usually hunt with a group where either I or warrior friend is the tank... We almost ALWAYS have either a 50+ chanter or shammy with us.. They usually take over the slowing ability. I have BOTH epics, and love Earthcaller, but once a chanter or shammy have slowed the mob the proc from Earthcaller will not hold. Soooo the proc from it is eliminated. I am going to get this sword just for those occasions in hunting/exp parties where I am the main tank and have the agro anyway. THis will allow me to do more damage and the rare occasion i will actually interrupt a spell. NO, this is no substitute for the HotT, or the new bows, but its not worthless either

After playing my wizard for 52 levels, I know the line of spells this proc comes from very well. Seemed to be the most resisted spell of any of my DD's, even against lower level underpowered mobs. It has a DD and stun combined, so the resist rate almost doubles, and it can't have partial resists either, it's full or nothing.
I'd guess a 60 ranger or rogue, fighting level appropriate mobs, would do nothing with this but draw crazy aggro from the resists. Not only that, but the ratio isn't good at all for the amount of work involved. I'll take an LSoEE any day over this one, or a club of ice ocean, 14/27 with a 149 DD that is resisted much less is a lot better in my opinion, it just lacks the stats of this one.

Okay lets break it down here.
1. 12/27 with a 200 DD effect. Or a 14/24 with an effect of slow. Both IMHO are great weapons with Swiftwind in your other hand and both are equally effective.
2. AC 15, Str, Stam, Wis, MR and CR all 5. Hmmm I like that AC on this one. Though earthcaller does admittingly make this eat dust in the bonus stats department for this weapon it is great.
3. Now I have to admit for the hassle you need to go through to get this weapon it is not an EPIC weapon, but I am sure that more rangers of Karana Deity will have this weapon and their EPIC. I plan on having both and it looks like it is a lot easier to get then Earthcaller has been.

Hmm how is this better?
not exactly better than epic but is easier to get, but for comparison sakes.
Ranger epic:
Swiftwind: AC 0
Earthcaller: AC 0
Silver Blade of Thunder: AC 15!
Damage procs?
epics: none vs 200+ DD
ya, this might cause agro but if your a smart ranger and have Jolt or Cinder Jolt up make agro non existant.

how could one even consider the silvery blade better than most epics... and since on karana worshipers may use it , the chances of a bard or a rogue using it are slim to none and a ranger would want his/ her epics over this... sooo it's useless

For the record the rogue epic proc is a worn effect: 40% haste, 9AC and 40ATK.
In short, that alone makes the rogue epic better than this weap. (And 15DMG is the highest possible for any rogue piercer. (Unless you include bane damage, but that's a completely different discussion...) )

wouldnt rogue want epic even more for backstabing purposes, just my 2 cents, i guess you might call me a newbie

Ok, there is a slight bit of a problem with this sword.
It's 1hs and is better then most epics.
A level 46 required weapon that outdamages a epic easy?? That's lame.
Plus it can proc a avg 250DD spell????
Geeze. Why just say to hell with other more challenging stuff to get.
To be honest, this weapon is too great for it's location and time to get as well as for level to be.
Sorry to be blunt and harsh. But even if it's Karana, you still have got to believe this is WAY too powerfull.

To be honest, this weapon is too great for it's location and time to get as well as for level to be.
Sorry to be blunt and harsh. But even if it's Karana, you still have got to believe this is WAY too powerfull.

Bah this is not better than any epic. Especailly for a Ranger this is not good. A 250 or so dd proc causes too much taunt and 12 27 ratio sucks.
A centi LS is 14 27 with no proc. The AC is nice on this sword, thats about it. Any ranger of sufficient level to get this sword should be able to do better.

Not only does the proc have 250 dd, it also has a stun effect. Stuns are huge agro. Kinda funny that the 3 melee (LOL OK Bards are not melee, but it still applies) classes that most try to avoid pulling agro get a sword designed to to get it in one proc. (Well maybe not one proc. Exagerating for effect)

Number 1, why in the world do you think this POS sword is better than any epic? Its ratio sucks, sure that nice dd is has is good, but 12/27 bah
If you want to go through all that for that crap sword you should be a follower of Karana and not Tunare. Besides without Tunare, where would Karana send his rains?

There's only one thing I like about this weapon... It is tradeable. I can sell it to those people who thinks this is comparable to epics. I'll probably make a fortune. hehe :)
Honestly!
AC 15? If anyone plans on hunting in PoP zones, AC 15 will do so little to protect you. Now a days, people would rather have extra HP and STA.
Thunder Strike? Big deal! Thunder Strike gets resisted majority of the time unless you are like 55+ nuking light blue mobs. OR, have someone cast Tash on the target. Believe it or not, at level 65, D'vinn resisted the freaking spell! LOL

Sure, it says RECOMMENDED LEVEL OF 46, but it does take a lot of time and effort, not to mention a LOT of friends, to get this sword - I say anyone who has this truly earned it...Just look at what you have to kill in Hate. A 63 SK thats pretty deep into the zone...that alone is pretty rough, and look at all the other 50+ mobs you need to kill. . .
Im not disagreeing with you or anything, I'm just being objective

Yes, that is all true but Tunare has no 1hs.
However, this is not RNG only.
But neither are the Cultural Bows.
If I just hadn't gotten Swiftwind to replace my Centi LS, I would be rather upset.

Tunare Rangers have had diety specific items for a year or 2 now and you'd be upset because you didn't get something else?

Oh my, I go away for a couple of months to find that my god has finally blessed us with an item /cheer. As the only level 80ish (60 and 20 AA) without my epic completed on my world (server), I think I may find the time to complete this little quest just to appease my god.
Although this weapon does not have the best stats, and sadly lacks the haste componant of swiftwind, this would have been a nice pre-epic solo weapon to work yourself through to level 55.
One can easily solo the animals in the Eastern Wastes for decent exp through level 50, and then move along to the moon and hunt the rock hoppers -- the world can use a few less of these smelly reptiles anyways.
I presume that I would not use this weapon very much, since I do not solo much anymore at 60. When grouped, I fear with a high dex, I would have too many procs and it would cause undo aggro that would be tough to reduce, even with jolt/cinder jolt/jolting blades ...
Not having the weapon yet, perhaps someone could run the jolting blades and ranger weapon proc spells to see if they stack. Sometimes there are stacking issues.
I thank thee Karana for granting me at least one faith based item, and look forward to more delightful suprises almighty one ... /sucks up to her god ...
60 seasons and change begging her god for goodies ...

Unfortunate as it is, Lady, Jolting Blades and Call of Sky/Call of Fire do NOT stack in any way, no matter which you cast first. Jolting Blades is the dominant self-proc, no matter that Call of Fire is a higher level spell. /sigh
Yet another of the connundrums the Gods have given Rangers when it comes to spells that would work wonderfully together, yet won't.

Even though I'm a Tunarean Ranger, I'm glad that the Karana bums finally make good on a deity specific item ^_^
What I fail to understand is ... why is this quest located near Surefall ( a community of Tunare-worshipping tree-huggers )? Shouldn't this quest originate in say ... Rivervale? Or maybe GFay ( not sure if GFay-ans are exclusive worshippers of Tunare or not ).

Surefall Glade welcomes followers of both Tunare and Karana, since they kinda go hand-in-hand. Also, the Knights of Thunder are located in Qeynos, and have pretty close ties to the people of the plains. Basically, the rangers and druids protect the plants and animals and ecosystem of the plains, while the paladins and clerics are more geared towards protecting the people that live there; however, they do work together often, as seen when the plains were stricken with the plague.
Gfay-ans aren't completely restricted to Tunare, but all the druids and rangers that start there are. Half-elven druids and rangers can pick their deity, with Karana followers going to Surefall and Tunare followers getting their pick. If all combinations were equal than Surefall would have a slightly higher Karana population.
Gfay IS more Tunare-based than Surefall.

hey this proc does over 200damage? this definitely beats the **** outta a crappy lsoee any day.
are you kidding? 12/27 comapared to a possible 21/29? may i have what you smoke every morning please?
this thing is a joke. the dmg/delay is wrose then centi LS, and the proc is knockback so if you use this in a group/raid, don't expect to stay long

For the levels needed to obtain it, YUCK. As a Karana Ranger, this weapon is not encouraging as far as future Karana only items. I have LSOEE and Guard Capt Mallet, hardly uber. I am level 48. Why would I want a Silver Blade of Thunder now, let alone in 5 or 6 levels? The proc is close to suicide as well.

If it were 12/22 with those stats and that proc, I'd wield it after Earthcaller proc'd. Jolting Blades and Jolt/Cinder Jolt would make it semi wieldable too, Salindrite Dagger procs all the damned time, so the agro may be unavoidable without liberal use of mana to deagro.

Just wanted to say looking at ranger items is like looking at armor that is light in weight. I have a 53 monk and a 15 ranger who yes worships Tunare. Under every light weight armor and weapon post i see why cant monks use this were getting screwed and under every tunare ranger stuff i see karana rangers getting screwed. It is a game you picked your diety that is your problem PoP will have Karana in it so you will finally get alot of Karana only items please i just wish posts were made without people complaining that they are always getting screwed. Just my thoughts thank you for your time. :)

Yeah, 325days played ago I picked Karana...When Deity wasn't even listed in the player info section of your inventory.
If you're gonna make deity matter, better make it fair for all people that play the game.
There is an imbalance, plain and simple.
On March 16, 1999, I picked Karana as my Ranger's Deity. Up until Velious, it didn't matter in the least. Did you know Deity would matter in March of '99? I sure as hell didn't, and anyone that says they did is lieing.

As a Tunare Ranger... I agree. Karana Rangers got gimped on some loot types, and while I was hoping it would be made up for in JP, if this is the reward for an equivelant to a HotT style quest... no thanks. Hopefully when PoP comes out they have some more quests for Karana Rangers to make up for it. I know I am looking forward to camping the old geezer... muahahaha
go ahead and fight anyway you like. i for one wish this was SK equipable, 263dd stuns are great when soloing in seb or some other place where mobs are frequently casters. perhaps you should look again and see "either melee", DPS is only good for a primary hand where as this will make an excellent secondary. perhaps you should think again before knocking a wepon with this much dmg behind it. what were you expecting 12/15 with the proc?
gimps.
anyway where do helms come in while comparing wepons???? sure you can knock someone out with a helm but this isnt RL, its eq and a ranger with good dex can proc this quite often im sure.

Yeah, I noticed it was offhand equippable, but the only place this ranger could equip it would be main hand. And it sucks as a main hand weapon.
Do you have experience with this proc?
Salindrite Daggers proc this spell, it's nasty agro, much like the agro on Call of Fire weapon proc spell Rangers get, 0.0s stun, only it does much more dmg and doesn't have Lure resist check.
Malevant is correct, there are better weapons for the offhand that already exist. Swiftwind comes to mind...for a quest that is similarly difficult as a matter of fact. You tellin me to unequip Swiftwind, 39atk and 40% haste 13/21 weapon with 15str 10sta 5dex 50hp and 5 all saves?
Tell me why, arguably, the best equipped ranger in EQ, Sean of FoH still uses Swiftwind when he can use any weapon in the game for his offhand. It's because it friggin parses out to more DPS than anything, period. We're talkin about Ssra, Ahkeva, Vex Thall, Ring of Vulak(NToV) items he's NOT wielding because they all pale in comparison to Swiftwind in the offhand.

I would not call Swiftwind "similarly difficult." Not by a LONG shot.
Swiftwind is one of the two ranger epic swords. Among the various mobs that must be killed in order to get pieces completed (VSR, Jael in the Hole) requiring raid forces, Swiftwind/Earthcaller also require 3 difficult/rare pieces to obtain: Jade Reaver, a stone from the 4th or 5th isle of Plane of Air, and a stone from Hate. I've been hunting a JR for 8+ months (no joke... believe me, if I had the money for what farmers charge for one, I'd buy one in a hurry). I've been to Hate far, far too often as well, I hate the zone (and to think I have to go back for my chanter and rogue epics... /shudder...), but the stone is so rare!
For the Silver Blade of Thunder, aside from getting the blade needed to start the quest (Blade of Rot from Hate), this entire quest can be done with ONE solid 50's group. The factioning you can do for this quest solo in Jaggedpine (although I highly recommend grouping as it goes much faster). The Hole mob requires either one or two groups in their 50s. (the mob itself isn't difficult, it's making it up to that point in the front of the castle, 3rd floor). The SK mob can be done with 3 people (shaman, melee, cleric/druid). Please do not call this quest equal to Swiftwind.
As for comparing it to other swords... the proc may be an aggro generator, but I will take it, especially to improve my soloing. I can't afford or cannot hunt the zones to get better ("uber") gear yet, so I will be very happy to have completed this quest and weild this sword alongside my LSOEE (self-quested, not bought!). I tried a Centi LS for a while and quite frankly, I don't see what the big deal is.

Ratio = All in offhand. You can get better ratio for easier elsewhere. The stun is great, but how often does it proc? An LSoEE would be better than this offhand, and mainhand it is way too slow to be attractive to me at 55.
The comparisons to helms come from the Helm of the Tracker Quest, which yields a very respectable helm for a Ranger, yet is Tunare only. In the high end there are better, but HotT remains as one of the better helms out there for a Ranger who is not in a large guild... as long as he worships Tunare. You will not see Tunare Rangers envying Karana this weapon; given the choice, I would take the helm.
You want this to appeal to a majority of Rangers? Drop the damage by 4 and the delay by 10 or 11, increase the damage so it at least has a decent offhand profile, or add a respectable chunk of HP to it.
Thanks for the gimps comment, though. As an SK I am sure you are far more knowledgeable about what Rangers want or need than someone who has actually played the class for 50 or 60 levels. Your wondrous knowledge of the equivelant Tunare quests is a great testament to this. Do some research in the future before harping on legitimate concerns of classes actually affected by VI's screwy risk v reward system in these quests, you won't appear as clueless.

Yup, but no rogue in their right mind would use a weapon with this big of a proc.
38 posts
Although the dmg/dly of the weapon isn't spectacular for a lvl 50+ quested sword, the proc is amazing! Since rogues/bards/rangers typicaly have high DEX values, I can see this thing procing 2 times during normal exp fights, and maybe 5+ times for big epic mobs. That's a lot of dmg (and potential agro) from the proc.
And no one will complain about the AC!

yep, being a ranger of karana i am finally glad to see the tunareans get screwed out of a nice item. too bad we still get screwed out of the helm of the tracker :/
to me the proc just about makes up for the dam/dly ratio. this would go great with my LSoEE.
PS:Now im finally not so regretful of worshipping karana. best wishes to all u rangers of tunare and enjoy ur helm of the tracker :)

This nice weapon is just the start of the Karana Ranger invasion. I would expect to see a lot more Karana only items in the future.
Yes it would be nice to see some more items for us rangers that worship Karana.

I find it funny that we have been reduced to complaining about a Karanan Ranger being screwed more than a Tunarean Ranger and visa versa. We're Rangers, get used to being screwed. If you have any suggestions on how to make the game better e-mail it to eqmail@soe.sony.com
