They are fun and all, but I found that a tentacle whip makes a pretty handy pet weapon for my sk pet. now that I'm 52+ I get mage weapons when I can but these things were very nice and kept me from having to sacrifice my hp to heal my pet.
I use these, sometimes, with my 28 warrior. they are really fun to play around with. never use them if i'm killing in a group for exp, but when i'm just fart'n around with guildies i whip these bad boys out, or when i pl with my war... taunt is a greaty way to pl... but my ripost with my regular weapons can sometimes steal kills..
theses things have their uses even beyond the newbie lvls... just not many... great weapon
haven't yet been to split paw to get the gnoll hide whip... but probably just as fun....
Honestly if I wanted to push through to level 10, id most likely use one of these also. I think a pet with duel weild - Gnoll hide and a Tentacle Whip... oh yea. I can see this as being awesome to build up a low level character. The only time I really do that is just to get through the early levels. Shrug. who cares. If it procks at 1 thats scary, if it procks at 3 thats still killer for a noob.... anywhere under 5 is pretty nice of an effect.
Got this whip this morning as a drop from the Guard Captian in NK as a reward for the corrupt guard wristband quest. That was kind of a surprise...anyone else received something like this from him?
Just did the corrupt guard quest in WK. I too got this whip as a reward. Been playing with it and it is a lot of fun. It isn't worth diddly in a fight with my lvl MOBs, but when showing off to the noobs, it is great.
I got one of these the first time I killed one, then had two more drop after that the Hilt of a Nobleman was harder for me to get and it is sapost to be a uncommon drop.
For some reason my character's attack stat is the same whether I use the tentacle whip or Ghoulbane. Whip is faster so I've been using it when I want to keep mobs aggroed on me.
Because the whip & Ghoulbane both use the 1hs skill, which (along with your Offense skill) makes up your ATK rating, your ATK rating is the same for both weapons... equip any 1hs weapon and your ATK will stay the same.
man i got one of these from a temntacle terror in najena and use my mana up in earlier fights and i am 35 shammy could not solo that new harder skellie with 50% mana lol but i got one of these and giving it to my rogue at 13 when he get duel weild. hes gonna have a dragoon dirk and tentacle whip(at 15 might change tentacle whip with dagger of droping). easiest thing to get in najena is this thing.

For such a wimpy proc this weapon is useless as anything more than a pet weapon unless your a newbie, and even then you would have to buy it. To kill tentecle terrors at levels 25+ you would expect a better weapon for your fight.
I have been hunting najena for a few nights, mainly waiting for a dark circlet, and hoping to pick up one of these and so far I have got the dark circ and our mage has got 3 of the components for his elemantal focus, but not a single tentacle whip, are they very rare or am I just unlucky. PS the addition of the mean skellis in hear has made it much more interesting LOL.

Posted:May 07 2001 at 9:27 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I PICKED ONE OF THESE UP IN NERIAK FOR 1PP AND SOME CHANGE, JUST CHECK THE VENDORS NEAR LAVASTORM IF YOU ARE INTERESTED BUT NOT EXPERIENCED ENOUGH TO GET YOUR OWN.
My 3rd level DE SK was using this thing and suddenly the Lifetap goes off. I thought someone else was casting it until I noticed who was saying "Ah, I feel much better now..."
Lol give these to youre necro pet watch him work lifetap heals him so les work for you to do.... im gonna get like 10 in the bank for when i hi 29 and pet gets duel weild...he will do same damage without whip but he will swing quicker than normal and 2 lifetap weopons lol just try it youll get a laugh too
not nearly as nice as Gnoll Hide Lariets but ya its cool to watch, even at 46 when your pet has been castin LT, with these in hand its a chance of 3 LTs )
You want to have some fun? get one and give it to your fire pet while your in najena getting your foci items, these are great pet weapons for the mage class in there 20's :)
