I love my longsword, I looted one and fell in love with it right away. I do insane damage at my level! I sharpened it so its razor sharp now, I swing pretty fast too! My skill keeps going up and I think im doing more damage as I level, I might keep it untill about level 20 or 25 its beautiful! I mean, I Cant loot fine steel untill 25/30 or so.

You're totally right, my level 66 paladin uses this weapon still, grant it, it's not as 'uber' as the fine steel long sword, but nonetheless, I swing like crazy with it, and with my self haste spell I just picked up last night in the bazaar,(25% haste self buff!!!) I'm hitting very very high and FAST, so for all you people out there that think your "fine Steel" crap is the bomb, well, with my sharpening stone, i'll duel anyone who thinks they can take me.

FYI for Smiths:

1 Rusty LongSword + 1 Sharpening Stone = 1 Tarnished LongSword.

1 Tarnished LongSword + 1 Flask of Water = 1 Small Brick(s) of Ore.

I will pass on more recipes if I find any on other Rusty Weapons.

By the way, Tarnished weapons dont sell for more, but they have a smaller delay between attacks, at least on Stromm in Queynos.

Technically by that, you could actually make money off them. You could loot them, and make ore, and combine into fine steel weapons, eventually. It would be a lot of work, but you could without twinking or questiong make better from less? Or even sell for about 4-6pp... Which I THINK would be more then selling the rusty or tarnished individually.

The problem with EQ is the same as in life. As we progress, we lose the magic and become jaded. I can still remember going out into the Kelethin newbie yard. The music was erie and the thick trees made everything look forboding. My little knees were knocking, but my goal was to try to raise enough money so that I could buy a full set of leather armor from one of the local merchants. I felt if I could do that, I may be able to move on to orc hill. When I saw a skeleton holding a rusty weapon, that was a big deal. To me, it meant progress toward some leather boots. Later I would discover the player economy and learn the value of things like spider silk, but that was unknown to me then. So, when I see a rusty longsword, I don't see a bad weapon. I remember when my character was new, and EQ was new, and wish sometimes that it could all be new again.

I remember when a cracked staff was the ideal newbie weapon.

11 damage was PIMP for a cleric.
Lol
# Nov 26 2002 at 2:34 PM Rating: Excellent
Lol I must say people flaming this weapon are retated. If you are a tru newbie how do you think you can afford anything better? You cant. This weapon is fine for anyone below level 5, and should use it untill they can achieve their Newb Quest weapons, or can accumilate enoungh money for a new one.

Uh, they aren't no drop, people don't farm them, and they aren't worth anything. The guy/gal/thing was just joking around.
now NO DROP!
# Sep 02 2002 at 1:03 PM Rating: Decent
Rusty long swords just became no drop on test. Seems all the high levels were farming them and giving them to their twinks, and VI decided that the best thing to do would be make them no drop with a Rec level of 60. That should solve the major balance issue of classes; however, what to do about those cloth shirts is the next item on the agenda, quick buy them while you can, because I think they're going to delete the drop rate on them next patch!

platts for these?
# Jul 08 2002 at 8:44 AM Rating: Default
I've been looting these of skeletons outside of freeport and the commonlands and practicing my smithing skills on them. After getting them to Tarnished i only get about 8 gold for them. Who has gotten 8 plats ?!!! was this a sell to other players? I do not believe that any merchants would give 8 plat for them. They only cost 1 plat and some gold to buy from a merchant.

do tarnished weapons sell more to vendors than rusty ones?????

8 Plats!
# Feb 11 2002 at 3:27 PM Rating: Good
I, Ironhom Hammerforge, Dwarven Paladin, upon hearing that the elusive "rusty longsword", sold for 8pp, decided to drop everything and head for Greater Faydark. Someone claimed to have once looted one there.

Forget mammoth tusks, I was going to be rich. I knew that if I obtained enough of these rare drops, I might be able to purchase, believe it or not, a tarnished longsword! Yes, life in Norrath would change for this Dwarf. I was in business.

When I arrived in the dark wood, I put all my armor and weapons in the bank. I needed to be at my very best to kill a skeleton. Armed with my deadly Dwarven fist, I journeyed to the "noob lift" (sometimes known as the "boob lift"), pushed the lever, and headed down for the mysterious Greater Faydark. A sweat broke out on my brow as I walked into the forest. How would I find a skeleton? Could I kill one? Should I form a raiding party?

Well, good news friends. I did puch out several skeletons, and lived to tell about it. I actually obtained 4 of the "rusty longswords". As a gift to my fellow adventurers, I will sell them to you for only 4 plats.
