The first one of these I ever had, was given to me. I used it on my cleric until I got my Testament, and went 1hb only. Tried to sell for months, and finally got someone to take as part trade with some cash for a piece of cleric armor. Just bought another yesterday. The guy who had it only wanted 20pp, and had several of them. Said nobody wanted them. My warrior does, he's almost 20, and has pretty high strength, and stamina over 100. Will be a nice weapon for training 2hb, which I am trying to keep maxxed, although I gotta say I prefer dual wielding 1handers. This would be really nice with a haste item and haste spell. Can't wait til the cap comes off!
Personally, I think it is a very nice weapon for the price, and was extremely happy to get mine for the price I paid (also got a drakkel forged ******* sword from the same guy for 20pp).
There are a couple of damage caps in the game. From levels 1-9, weapon damage is capped at 10, meaning any weapon, like this one, with a higher damage rating, will do the same damage as one with a damage rating of 10. Your max hit with this would be 21 ((dmg*2)+1) + your strength bonus. Once you hit lvl 10, the damage cap goes up to 14 (29 max damage) +str bonus. Once you hit 20, the damage cap is gone, and this weapon will hit for 45 pts of damage, not counting strength bonus. Once you hit lvl 28, you start getting weapon damage bonuses, above the listed damage. Then these slow 2 handers really start to make big hits. Of course, by then, you need a haste item to really be effective with one.
Got One of these off a giant in great divide. I thought this was a lore item because the people in my group didn't want it and said they already had one. I was wrong. Its not Lore. It is exactly as pictured above.
This is a good weapon for the AC shamans (The ones that fight like hybrids). Pair this with a suit of BA armor and they can do a decent job. I still prefer my JCP though ;)

I was helping a newbie friend of mine who just got into the game hunting just ouside Kelethin by the stone ruins. a skele agroed me and he quickly dropped with one hit. Low and behold he had on him this big hammer. Whoa. How in the world he was carrying it around Tunare only knows. Nice addition to my collection. Anyone else have such a weird but fruitful experience? Lucky i guess. HEHEHEHEHE
Most likely this occured because a nice person wanted some newbie to get a decent item, but not give directly to them. I also do this sometimes with velium weapons or whatever. Be Kind to your neighborhood newbie =)
Just got one this morning for 100 Plat. One book I have says 400 Plat is the going rate, and here it says around 150 plat. Either way this will be a great deal. I was using a bloodstained fang for piercing skill (9 damage) and routinely hit for about 20 damage. Then I went with the longer Harpoon of the Depths, and hit for about 18 damage. (damage 8 on Harpoon)
Okay, the Delay is 50, but Shamans can QUICKEN, which will really speed up this baby! This should be really good for soloing, as we can now kill the mob faster when it starts to run, or even when mana is getting low. Face it, the little damage we do is not going to save us in a pinch, but maybe the hard hits will really pay off here. The faster we can kill a running mob without using mana, the less chance we have to get nailed by an ADD mob.
i am on the xev server ...i wanted a 2hb to practice my skills for later if i get a good blunt this was ust the thing i needed some guy sold it to me in ill omen for 50pp and he went to OT to get it out of his bank for me and was happy to gt rid of it. good for the money and good weapon int he right hands..
These are nice 2hb but very common in the area around Thurg. They are on vendors there (pc's sold em) for around 150pp. Got one last night off a frost giant and held onto it for kicks and big hits:0 The 2hs version (the ******* sword) is has same ratio and can also be had on the vendors in thurg.
Actually, the ******* sword is 20damage 45dly, so ratio is a bit better, and the lower delay means more taunt, but they are pretty similar. Get both and train both skills.

As one of the previous posts states, this weapon isn't going to hit hard until level 20. Since the damage cap is in the high 20's (29 I think, get conflicting info on the exact number), a weapon with a damage above 14 or 15 is a waste. You can find weapons in that range with less delay. Get one of those (you'll do more overall damage, skill will rise faster) and use until 20, then switch to this. Looking a the weapons on this site, I'd say the best combo of price and stats for a below 20 is the Burnished Wooden Stave (dmg 15, dly 45, average price 28pp). Since you're capped at 29 anyway, this will give the same max hit, and 5 less delay means you hit more often. Also, the Glowing wooden crook is good. dmg/delay ratio (dmg11, dly35) isn't quite as good, but less delay means you train the skill faster, and can switch back to a 1hb and shield or held item.
BTW, make sure the weapon you choose is 2hb, so your skill will be up, or get a 2hb and practice each level. It beats trying to catch up. I started using 1hb only at a low level, and neglected 2hb. my mistake. It's slow going to train 2hb, especially if you fell behind.
You won't see the big hits until you get to level 20 and your damage cap goes away. It is very slow, but I put some training points into Double-Hit, and I have double hit at 45 and 50 hps. With this hammer, and my new pet that I got at level 22.... being an Ogre SK has gotten a little more interesting.
Someone gave this to my cleric in Rivervale. I guess he didn't realize Halflings can't use it. I gave it to my Troll Sk. I hit for 50's with it at lev 20. It's really really slow, though - but MAN! It packs a wallop!
ROFLMAO 300pp? Is this a joke? Average price is in the low 100+ range. I've got one for sale on rodcet nife for 100. Of course, since I recently hit level 20, maybe i'll keep it, since it's fun to see people's reactions when the cleric starts hitting for 45 damage.
This item *may* go for as low as some people say, but these people are really getting a deal. It's better in every way than the gatorsmash maul, which still commands at least 300 pp in price. It is still one of the top 2hb weapons in DPS, right behind the sentry maul.
Auction WTB in EC at tunnel. Someone on your server surely wants to sell one. Most people don't actively auction these because demand is too low, But I know several who have them in the bank!
Hunted in The Great Divide with the great Enchanter Ninciv (Veeshan server). We were going after Frost Giants for the toes and heads, to complete a quest. We did Berserkers, Elites and a few Scouts. We both are currently level 51, the Berserkers and Elites con blue, and the Scouts were green. Got the Drakkel Forged Sledgehammer off the Berserkers and Elites. I gave one to my Barbarian Shaman, and he loves it! Very nice weapon, if you don't have better.
