A single Type 4 Slot, to answer your question.
Epic upgrades

The LDoN release recently made this even more desirable, being able to customize your IC by increasing the DMG, Stats, and other possible effects. I would suppose that this is the only way that Verant would think of doing an "Epic Upgrade" but maybe someday they can think of something a lil better, since other weapons out there that are much less a pain to get, i.e. Sword of Ssraeshza & Bloodied Berserker's Blade, etc, that can also be upgraded.

In my case, Greenmist is still more desirable, as the proc and shissar dmg are insane compared to this, but I still intend to work for both.
RE: Epic upgrades
# Sep 17 2003 at 11:07 AM Rating: Default
I do have one question about this item. The description indicates this is a triggered effect, not a proc. The image appears to be an older one, as it does not indicate the casting time. It also does not show whether the weapon must be equipped. Does this weapon have to be equipped to use the effect?

Even if better weapons are available, and the weapon must be equipped to use it. There is still the option of using the effect, then switching to another weapon for the actual fight. (Or switching to the weapon in mid fight for the effect, then switching back)

Just my thoughts and my question.
a suggestio for SK faction needers
# Aug 31 2003 at 4:08 AM Rating: Default
A suggestion for all of you SK's having trouble with your epic (true something faction) a shammy buddy of mine did rist 1/2 of his epic (pretty scate) and got from doubious iwth truespirit up to amiable.. perhaps you should lookinto this quest just for the faction.

RE: a suggestio for SK faction needers
# Oct 02 2003 at 7:18 AM Rating: Default
Now while I am completely unable to make out MOST of what this guy says, he does mention truespirit faction. Several epics are on this faction including the shaman epic, in fact the shaman epic is so dependant on it that you can actually skip several portions of it by repeating easier steps (like the sheild of falsehood) until your faction is maxxed and then just turn in the tear from the iksar broodling to Rak'Ashiir. However since this is on a SK weapon I am guessing that this quest is also on Truespirit faction, but the only thing that doesn't ring remotely close to true is some one going from dubious to amiable doing parts of shaman epic. The shaman epic mobs are pretty much totally unfriendly to anyone lower than amiable to them (shaman default true-spirit) and are likely to just eat quest items and tell you to go get bent. As a note, the fact that it is so easy for shaman's to max out this faction, wich is used in several epics, to include wizard and enchanter, makes them ideal people to do MQ's for those parts (IE Wizard staff from Phinny ETC). Best of luck to all of you out there on the epic trail, granted there are mainy "better" items available out there these days, but I can almost guarentee few of us who complete their epics regret doing it.

You can use the "invis-while-the-trade-window-is-up" trick to do the first part of the Shaman epic, regardless of your TrueSpirit faction, since Indifferent is in fact good enough for this to work.

What faction?
# Jun 17 2003 at 3:45 AM Rating: Decent
To answer your question: you don't need any faction for this quest. All quest guys are on TrueSpirit faction and everyone starts off apprehensive. For every turn in or MQ just bring another person to invis you and the MQ person (or ITU). MQ person put item in trade window someone invis's him/her (make sure they con indifferent after invis) and hit trade. You do the same thing, put item(s) in trade window, have someone invis you (or use hide, but MAKE sure you /con to make sure they are indifferent) and hit trade, you get your items. This works through every step of the quest, through the end.
Dual Epic'd SK

As far as the difficulty of IC versus Greenmist, no contest IC is SEVERLY more difficult. I am a 64 DE SK on Xev, and even with my faction issues I finished the GM quest in about 5 weeks. The rare drops off demi-gods (hate and fear mobs), make IC a real pain in the ***** However it is worth it. Yes yea yes.....I know there are better weapons out there, but weilding your epic is a souce of pride, even more so since the SK epic is the hardest (or close) epic out there. Not to mention by far the coolest graphic. As far as faction to get into Neriak? If I can get into Cab, you can get into Neriak. Indigo Brotherhood is easier than Crusader faction to adjust. I am scheduled to take down final mob early next week, and to best of my knowledge, I will be the only Dual Epic'd SK on my server. Get out there and get it done, will be a pleasure to answer the /tell What sword is that???. If any on Xev needs info please feel free to send tell.

Okay...I've seen a lot of flames currently...I just wasted 30 minutes of my life scrolling through this crap hoping for some answers, and found none. Now, my question, just how hard is it for an iksar to do this quest? I know there's the faction problems, which I'm currently working on...Might have to get an enchanter to cast Project Illusion: Dark Elf on my 56 shadowknight yes I'm too lazy to make a new Allakhazam account. But anyway...any iksar know how hard it might be? And, if anyone would like to know just because I do Worn Haste does -not- stack with itself! You can get one haste item and one haste spell cast on you, and that's it. If you wear more than one hasting item you get the haste from the one that has more haste % on it. Now then, feel free to call me a newb or whatever, I dont want to hear it. It's a game, and I currently just want to have fun on it by doing my epic. I also have the greenmist, so I think I have a perspective on how hard this quest may be, but I just need a little info, thankies!
RE: ....?
# Jun 03 2003 at 6:34 PM Rating: Default
An iksar prolly has much better chances of getting this than I do... I'm a big fan of Bert ya see and Inny fans despise Bert fans. As far as an iksar knowing pains by doing greenmist...ya must be nuts. Try being almost any other race and ya know exactly how much faction can be a problem. The rare drops and what not from the gods above are nothing near as much a pain as the pure faction farming. Spent countless hours already just working on Legions of Cabilis faction so I can turn in bone chips...still only aprehensive.
RE: ....?
# Jun 04 2003 at 7:03 AM Rating: Decent
Forget the bone chip quest. Go kill the explorers in LoIO and turn in their survival knives. You raise Legion of Cabilis and Pirates of Gunthak factions, and lower Emerald Warriors (Wood Elves), Firiona Vie, and Storm Guard (Dwarves) factions. You don't get a knife every time, but just keep killing them. They have a pretty fast respawn time, so you're not sitting there all day waiting for them.

By the time you have a stack of Explorer Survival Knives, your Legion of Cabilis faction should be high enough to talk to Trooper Vaurk, who gives the quest. If not, kill a bunch of wandering sarnaks and forsaken iksar to speed it up a little. Also, killing the forsaken iksar is the only way to raise Brood of Kotiz (Iksar Necro) faction. When you turn in the knives, you get positive faction with Legion of Cabilis (Troopers; warrior guild), Crusaders of Greenmist (Crusaders; SK guild), Swifttails (monks), Cabilis Residents, and the Scaled Mystics (shaman).

Your Legion of Cabilis faction will skyrocket, but the Crusader faction will take time, though it will take less time than with the bone chip quest. It's also a LOT safer, once you're no longer KOS to the Troopers.

You must get drops from Demis in Fear and Drakes in Hate. Drop in Air is easiest of the 3 planar drops. The parts of the epic in the hole are 1 or 2 group affairs.

When you hand those items in Lhranc repops in his live form and you get the coin. To get the right version of Marl to show up you must Kill Lhranc. Then hand the coin to the Marl that pops on his death.

There is no way to ninja loot the epic or to bypass killing Lhranc. In the olden days anybody could loot the sword but they finally fixed that after some complaining about low level SK's with the epic that a friend had gotten them.

All the mobs in CoM will be KoS to you. Faction with Lhranc for the hand in is truespirit. The Shaman epic is also on truespirit faction but there faction is very high when they finish. An SK's faction stays apprehensive throughout the EPIC unless you go to some really out of the ordinary efforts to raise it.

#REDACTED, Posted: Feb 21 2003 at 1:37 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Well i have seen many a uber sk in my day me being one (wink) all have told me the epic is useless there are better weapons out there. Well i have come to say YES there are better weapons out there but by far this weapon is not as bad as one thinks sure the quest is hard to do and the mobs are hard but remeber this is the badest looking sword in the whole game there will never be a sword that looks like this or have the uber effect this has sure the dmg to dly ratio is average but the effect PROXS offten making your health say up and the mobs go down now i havent had and comformation but i am hearing some rumors of a Epics 2.0 that is suposed to be in PoP someday just think what it would look like and how much more powerfull it would be compared to this one, the epic is worth it FOR EVERY class it is the final most important task you do.

seriously, if you had the sword of sraeshza, you wouldn't be using this weapon. i don't even think sk's at that high end remember what innoruuk's curse is
and about the proc on this weapon, i rather use the proc on the sword of ssraeshza, itz a 100 LT proc which, IMO, is better than this one
RE: better than Innoruuk's Curse??
# Jan 15 2003 at 4:09 PM Rating: Default
Actually the proc on the epic is still better, 5 ticks of 50pts LT a piece adds up to more than just one shot of 100, and it is a trigger, insta cast as well, not a combat proc like the sword of ssraeshza.

Solution, use both, click the effect on inny's curse and then switch to the other for the dd lt.

They stack :)

Truespirit Faction?

Heres the story of the missadventure I had, I hope you never repeat this mistake. One day in Timorous Deep when I was low level, I was hanging out with some friends killing bandits at a camp. Thier leader spawned and we were too low to fight here but we did it anyway and took him out. A wolf ghost thing spawned and startled me so I harm touched it and hacked it to bits. I then found my faction with Truespirit has gotten lower. I assumed that meant ghost wolf monsters would hate me more and it wasnt a big deal, but soon found out from another player that this is my Epic's faction. I felt like a kid who does a flip on the monkeybars in front of everyone and lands on his head. I've spent MANY hours talking to people and looking on websites on how to fix this faction without costing me a ton of pain but nobody knows. Now when I force the spawn of a Truespirit wolf and try to communicate with it, he replies something along the lines of "Is that your breath or did something die in here?" It's kinda funny but at the same time, depressing. How do I fix Truespirit faction without going through pure hell?

I've killed alot of these wolves too. It doesnt seem to really lower the faction though. He always insulted you for hailing it since you are the wrong class for that wolf spirit. There is on in butcher too for killing peg leg for a shaman step.


If you feel you need to raise it, run seals from Kerra to paineel. Just dont return the note, but instead get another seal to run.

Here is a quote regarding this faction - It doesn't have anything to do with the SK epic, but it raises Truespirit faction.

********QUOTE*******
Had a mage. Decided he wanted sow boots. Wanted to see if they'd work out of inventory slot since some class/race specific things will even if you're not of appropriate class/race. Okay.

ported mage and a druid to WC, ran both to north freeport. Bound near Bondl. loaded up circle of butcher. ported there and took an enchanter with.

pulled pegleg to ring. killed him. charmed spirit, now indiff to all. said last phrase. got gem. gated self and druid. chanter stays to keep spirit charmed.

went up to bondl. popped trade window with gem. invised from druid. clicked trade. faction. followed bondl to the point where he stops and asks his question - since he stands there for a bit. rebound there. ported back to butcher. got gem again. gate, repeat until desired faction. took him 10 or so times to go from dubious to amiable.

On an aside, he got the sow booties, 'your race/class/deity cannot use this item' some of you may say 'duh.' stranger things have worked.

Ah well, it was something to do. Xtik seemed to enjoy the fuzzy boots till mage reclaimed him.

Does anybody know how much you would slash for with this weapon at lvl 60? I dunno, Im just wondering, I'm still working on the quest. I need the Will of Innoruuk, and then I have to kill Lhranc. I was just wondering how much you would slash for with dmg 40, and the dmg bonus (what is DMG bonus?).
