Great item, especially for a lowbie cleric. One just dropped for me on P99(Red) which is progressed up to Velious. It seems to function off of 1HB as I seem to hit with it as much as if I'm using my goblin skull crusher but I never seen 1HB skill gains while I'm using it. It procs for an 81 nuke about 1 to 3 times per fight against a blue mob (while soloing). Seen I know it exists, I've been killing every flunkie I see in the hopes of getting another. Be real good to have another!
Just so everyone knows: this hasn't dropped since about the first month of Kunark. It was sickly rare even when it did drop. You will probably never see one, nor is it likely that one even exists on your server. You wanna see one? Come to Innoruuk Server and shoot me a tell. I'm always happy to show mine off.

I leveled from lvl 14 to lvl 25 in overthere. A GRUNCH of flunkie fall to my blades, but nada on 'em but blood every 10 or 12 kills. not even any coppers. Where or when does this thing drop.
Ahma Bigmeetshield Warrior of 35 bashes (not so) Tiny (anymore) Tank is comin.
Do these things drop off the flunkies in LOIO or OT or both? And is there a significant level difference between the flunkies of LOIO to the OT?
I'd like to get my hands on it just to have a nice-looking sword in my off hand--when it outlasts its usefulness, I'll just sell it. May not we worth THAT much, but ... hey, if I can rack up an easy 120pp, what the hell, eh? ^_~
ALL/ALL means exactly that. Anyone CAN use this wep. If you don't have the required skill, you will wield it at a skill level of zero which means you won't hit with it very often (if at all) and you'll probably never see a proc. Don't bother with it if your char doesn't have 1HS. Find something that fits your characters skillset. You'll be better off.

FYI, you can proc a weapon even on a miss. I have a gate hammer from OT on my bard, who naturally has 0 2hb skill. I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with it, yet I always manage to gate out pretty quickly.
What's the big deal with these? The weapon sucks. I got a better beginning weapon from my guild when I began my SK. Sure, the proc is nice, but a random nonetheless. I was lucky to get mine to proc once per battle. My reaver procs usually within the first three hits. Hope this weapon was cut out.
Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough to get twinked by their guild or random high level people when they start a character. Some people have to go out and kill and/or quest for the items... or so I've been told. Based on the level of the Flunkies, this isn't a bad weapon for an iksar warrior/sk that could get to OT and kill them. Sure, there are much better weapons out there, but they are usually more difficult or expensive to obtain for people this level, especially in Kunark. Not many people go to Kunark to auction items, and most Iksar newbies have a hard time getting to Antonica safely. Of course, I've been in the OT for about 5 levels now, killing a bunch of flunkies in that time, and I have never seen one of these drop. Be careful if you are going to try to get one of these, as the Sarnak Conscripts in the area are pretty nasty, and will assist Flunkies and aggro on everything.
You're right about Iksars having problems getting good items. The zone with the spires isn't exactly for noobs so even getting to bazaar is a big hassle unless you can hitch a ride with a passing wizzy or druid. Iksar is the one race where it really pays to do quests and learn tradeskills. It's your best chance at upgrading your gear until you are able to travel to where all the good stuff is being sold.

it's cool because it's all all! thats what's so great! imagine a wizard running in at oom and saving the tank with melee rofl or imagine a mage assist their pet with a procing 1hs...
Its all/all that means all classes can use even classes with no 1hs skill the thing is they will almost never hit because they have a 1hs skill of 0 but they can still equip it monks,wizards,enchanters,necromancers, etc etc can use it
You seem to be forgetting something(or are unaware), you don't need to hit the thing your attacking for the weapon to proc, and spirit strike is about 80 points of direct damage.
I have been in the Overthere 4 weeks killing sarnaks when ever I happen on them. I have yet to see any weapons of any kind on the flumkies or conscripts. It either drops of a much higher level sarnak now, or has been nerfed all together, since I have not seen anyone selling them in zone or the like.
And I'd like to agree as well. After spending about 8 levels in LOIO (on and off) I've killed my share of flunkies, and have yet to ever see one of these. Never seen one drop, or be auctioned there or anywhere else. Would like to get ahold of one before I go after a Wakizashi of the Frozen Skies, just to see the proc in action, but it seems unlikely, as this doesn't seem to exist.
I'd have to agree with the two posts on this. I spent about 6 levels in the Overthere and killed probably over a hundred of these things and never got any kind of weapon from them. This would be cool to have simply because it's a 1h slash that a mage can use ;)
