I have a level 40 Dru on Tunare, and I got this for him at level 35 in the bazaar for 100pp. Looking at the rest of these posts, I got a hell of a deal. Just goes to show what a little patience can do for you when buying something.
I will admit that it took me two days of shopping before I got the price I wanted, But it was worth the wait! As a Druid, I don't hit too well in melee fights, but I find this to be an Excellent item to have for those difficult times just before I ding to a new spell level. The old spells are not always enough to do the job, But this has saved my bacon more than once.

Can I get this thing at lvl 38? i just dinged, and I have a 31 warrior friend who wants to help me. Would we be ok, or would i be better off alone? Or should i just stay the hell away from him for now?

Thanks

depends what class you are. but youd be safe with a group of 3 due to erratic spawn adds that occasionally occur.

I went in with some guildmates and stayed for about 3 hours, 2 of these dropped. We also got alot of orcish lutes and Ry`gorr armor.

You must have went during a ring war or something. Firbrand the Black spawns about 1 out of every 10 blacksmith and 1 out of every 10 times he has this. During ring war he is always up and always has this!

Worst day ever
# Jun 27 2002 at 11:36 PM Rating: Decent
In my year of EQ life, today was the wrost day ever. I got two dark embers stolen from me, for those of you keeping score at home thats 3kpp gone in one day.

The frist was to someone i was PLing. He was using a Veilum Warhammer so i lent him my Dark Ember while i was PLing him. Halfway through he asked to trade hammers, i resisting laughing and said id rather keep mine. Anyway druing a short med break, he loged with my hammer.

After that i went back to Eastern Wastes to get a new one. Anyway after waiting four hours for FirBrand to pop, i get ready to cast harmony, and BAM KSed.

The moral of this story is not to trust newbies and make sure you annoce when your camping something

Oh btw, died three times that day

i did something like that before i had 1 weapon on my char and in bank i let a newbie use it he went ld and never said anyting i when through 3HOURS before i asked a good friend of mine to get me 800PP to get a dark ember
RE: Worst day ever
# Oct 15 2002 at 2:26 AM Rating: Default
Way to go there STUPID ! How about letting me hold all of you plat you have in the bank while you switch chars ....*snikers* Anyone who has played EQ (even newbies) know Trust must be earned NEVER let someone hold something you cant aford to loose and you ALWAYS announce your camps...and BTW ksing is only considered once a target HAS been enguaged NOT almost or about to ....So sorry about your bad luck....PS I will sell you my Dark Ember I got right before this guy thought he was going to drop him. Man he was mad too , said something about casting harmony and I was a kill stealer.

# Sep 13 2002 at 1:27 AM Rating: Decent
The only people I would ever PL are guildies or people that I know IRL. Coincidentally, those two groups are also the only two I would EVER loan gear or cash to. Did the lyin theivin *&#$% fit into either of those two categories? If not, what were you doin givin him your gear?!?!?!
RE: Worst day ever
# Sep 11 2002 at 4:29 PM Rating: Decent
don't know how what price you calculated for it, but they go at 700pp in the bazaar these days. Still quite an amount though.

And use your guild to make this stealer's life miserable.

goodluck obtaining a new one..
RE: Worst day ever
# Aug 12 2002 at 2:07 PM Rating: Decent
Ummm and the lesson we've learned today is...

NEVER, EVER LOAN AN ITEM UNLESS YOU KNOW THE RL PERSON CONTROLLING HIM/HER!

I feel bad for you, but it's common sense dude...

I have about 10kpp worth of gear and cash loaned out ot members of my guild, none of whom I know in RL. But I've known them a long time in game, and trust them.

But never loan something you can't afford to lose, especially to someone you don't know well.

BTW, a centi warhammer would have been better for PLing, and cheaper too.

After spending some time wearing a dress and playing with dolls, I decided to drop the wussy image and start getting fierce. Got a Netherbian Chitin to swap out with my Crystal Covered Shroud (stats are worse except for the AC, and fire resist) got me a Charred Guardian shield and this baby.
WOW!
I'd been working up my melee skills with a Velium Etched mace then switched to this. Granted it's a bit slow, but I'm hitting for 25-30 a pop and with haste buffs, I'm almost doing viable melee damage. It procs like mad which is a nice little bonus. The stats kick *** and overall I'm VERY happy with this (I paid 500pp for the DE and a Goblin Soulcaller neckpiece to a guildie)

Ok bro no offence i know your a cleric, 25-30 ain't viable melee damage at 52, my 15th lvl ogre war hits for 30-34, albiet with 215str and a centi, but at 52 i hope your healing more then hitting.

Hey, great. I'll go look for you. Oh wait, maybe you're on a different server. Also, you probably won't be on at the same time. Hopefully, you are able to sense my sarcasm. You will be very unlikely to get one of these by posting this here. A better idea would be to add one to your want to buy wishlist. Even better would be to go to your server's auction zone, or use the auction channel, and buy one online. Although, how a lvl 10 has 1000pp to spend on a weapon, I don't know. Furthermore, if you have 1kpp to spend, buy a good slashing weapon. centi shortsword will outdamage this, and is about 400pp. for 2 handed, you can pick up a mithril 2hander for about 500pp, and that will also outdamage this.

Leave these to the poor clerics and druids, who can't use the good slashing weapons.
Great item
# Apr 10 2002 at 8:54 AM Rating: Decent
Personally, I think this is a great weapon for me. I'm a 39 Druid, just bought it for 1k. When I solo I use it along with my ToV. When I'm in a group I use my Paw of Opolla and my ToV. I think the difference between WIS is not all that a big deal, especially when I can melee :).
And as far as a Duid not using a weapon after 34 (or whatever lvl) that's purely a Druid's OWN choice. If a Druid is worth anything he/she will already have done thier part (DS/snare/dot/DD) in the group BEFORE they begin to melee.
RE: Great item
# Mar 07 2003 at 10:24 PM Rating: Decent
Personally I think you need more wis. Youre not going to be hitting those higher lvl mobs. I likt it and all for now hoping to get Sheild of Bane Warding soon and paw of opolla. Thats 29 wis bud, Youre choice on DE and ToV.. but its alot less wis

I agree, as far as any character, caster or no, is concerned you need a weapon of some kind. So why not make it one as nice as this so that you can survive when you are out of mana. Just my 2cp.

I found this on the ground in The Maiden's Eye on the moon. It was one the Toiler hill so i thought maybe someone might have looted it and dropped it, which means they now drop on the moon. Can anyone confirm?

You are so lucky to have found one just laying around. I got lucky and purchased one in NFP for the low price of 650pp =0 and have been very happy with it since then!

I was huntin in FM when some druid comes up to me and gives me two 10% reduction pages with a Dark Ember and 6800pp of other stuff. Woot! Now i'm a twinked lvl 26 druid and i didn't even meen to be.
RE: Hehe
# Mar 01 2002 at 8:34 PM Rating: Decent
Yup did that with a level 5 on the Karana server. Quit that server for another so just gave all my stuff to a newbie. He got about 12k worth of caster equipment.

Every once in a while you get really lucky :)
Effect?
# Jan 20 2002 at 8:57 PM Rating: Decent
How much damage does the proc do? And at what Level does it proc at? Any help would be nice because it's between this and a centi warhammer not sure which would be better for my druid.

So far, I've only seen the Effect do about 14 points of damage when it proc's. I didn't get mine until level 39, but I've heard that it start proc's at level 35.
RE: Effect?
# Mar 27 2002 at 10:18 AM Rating: Decent
It started to proc for me the moment I hit 35, and the effect is the same for me a 14 point damage burn blast. I think no cleric or druid under level 50 should be with out one.

Any one know for sure if these can be used on Beastlord Vah Shir's? I have one on my druid but the information says nothing about it being used on the beastlords or the Vah Shir.

Bah! I still have not seen anyone who knows what level this procs at. It was recently gifted to me by a good friend but it is on my 11th level cleric atm and will not proc. /sigh Will suck hard if I must wait til 25 or so for it to proc like Velium weapons!

# Dec 04 2001 at 2:20 PM Rating: Excellent
I got this weapon at level 34... it didn't proc. I leveled to 35, and it started.
