I've hunted HS on virtually all my characters since around 6 months after Kunark came out. Tonight was the first time I've ever seen one drop. It came off a bottomless devourer in North wing (the one on the key dropper PH, in fact.) Still a decent twink weapon even in this day and age!
I was in the bazaar on Druzzil Ro with my 28 paladin looking for a twink weapon and I saw this with no reccommended level and a 1.333 ratio. It was on sale for 300 PP! I tell you what, someone got the shaft on the other end of that purchase, but I'm very happy! :-)
I gotta friend with one of these suckers and hell I tried it out on my 60 Paladin and I hit about 130-140 dmg average with 1hb maxed out, currently farming HS for one of these things. Btw thats with Avatar proc on :-P
I was camping the Skeletal Procurator in the farthest west room in the West wing. I looted the Rod of Faith from an "a pyre golem" somewhere between that last room and the last big room with The Crypt Wurm (nibbler).

I just bought this for 100pp FROM A VENDOR in PoK!! I don't see how everyone thinks this is such a pricy item. I agree it is a great weapon but not that expensive if you can find it. Works great with Instrument of Nife added. Sweet!!
Got it last night in the East Wing. It came from The Howling Spectre (note its not "A howling spectre" - its a named mob). Not overly tough but our group were all made of high 55+ experienced HS fighters with the main tank and rogue all using epics.
Nice little toy, much better than the WS (25/40) or MoSS (19/29). Can't see it costing more than 10K if such a thing ever shows up on the open market.

Posted:Jun 17 2001 at 11:26 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I got one of these the other night. Went from 1 to 90 skill in Fear as main assist, then another 50 skill beating down stuff in KC. THIS THING ROCKS! I am hitting for the same dmg I did with my Wurm, but alot faster. I cant waite to get another FBSS so I can way kick some butt. BTW, anyone who dosent have one, try to get even though they are very rare on my server. I got a deal for mine, hehe, traded a fbss for the RoF and a Clay Guardian Shield...
People take one look at that delay and assume it sucks, but your grouped pretty much all the time with someone that can haste or have haste items yourself. It's more than easy to turn this into an uber rod with stats around dmg24 dly15 or so
I have a better one-handed slash weapon. Keep workin your Slash up Pallies=>
Darkmetal Falchion 23/29 7 wis 7 int pally/ shd only 1hs it's no drop and comes from hate. This weapon has an awesome graphic to. Ya you can't just go buy it, but if your willing to work alittle you can have a better 1hs weapon. Good luck Brothers
Bruner Battlehammer Dwarven Paladin of Dragonflyers On Rodcet
Yeah this is a really good item, only other thing that can compare to it for a paladin is a crystal dragon shard and its only 2 less delay but comes from charasis
For paladins, this is one of the best weapons you can get, if not the best. You will want to practice your one handed blunt just for this item. The boosting effects are really a add on to a great weapon. This weapon is often over looked becuase its no a one handed slash weapon. Pallies would rather get the wurmslayer and fiery avenger than get this bad boy, which is very ignorant of you weapons!
