Posted:Jul 31 2003 at 2:38 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) when i first started playing EQ i started my Greeenmist quest for fun and for somethng to do since i couldnt afford any high end gear, i dont believe in twinking or anything like that, this quest is pretty much completley soloable except for the last part, the greenmist part, you need a raid capable guild and your key to HS, all the work involved to get this is not worth the time because by the time your in a big enough guild you will be a high enough lvl to get into HOH or som,e high end plane and loot a better 1hs, personally i dont wish to do my epic or continue to do the greenmist quest unless i just want the pleasure of saying i did it, but it was an uber weapon before velious came out and thats when i quit because these days all these noob got it so much easier, the prices of item are way cheap, no more hell lvls, you dont lose your body till 10, you dont get penalty lvls, you got shared bank slots to secure transfers, you have transition zone like nexus and pok that if i woulda killed to have while i was lvling, and yet most the people in game i see still ***** that EQ is a hard game, EQ is a joke, its so easy to level and now you even get a free AA just for tagging along with your guild on a flag raid, i remember when armor like banded was the ****, you had to ride boats for an hour to get around, and being an iksar made it way harder to do, now you can go to PoK not be KoS, not have to worry about losing your body (especially in the planes cause they frikking pop at the ent) so how much easier can u ask for? anyone who thinks EQ is a hard game should go stick to a repetitive game like starcraft where you can hack and be satified with the fact that you suck and have no patience to earn respect and make friends. well enough flmaing from me, ask anyone whos been playing for 4 years if im wrong, EQ became a joke because all the noobs complained that its way too hard, give me a break its a video game, something hard is like trying to pour hot oil into a dixie cup using your pinky and thumb only to hold the pan, if you think EQ is hard to back to a game where you can cheat.
but on a lighter note i agree. I ve played EQ since kunark came out so 3.5 years about. i quit for one year and then bought all new expansions (velious,luclin,ykesha) and i was SHOCKED. The game was just to damn easy i mean flug it is so leisurable to go and now with newbie armor the bazaar all that crap. My friend just got the game hes lvl 10 and has better stuff then my lvl 48 almost. All just by begging in PoK i mena i remember if you begged you'd be told "***** you get lost do it the way we did." i was worrie3d that a high level would yell at me if i beegged for 5pp to buy backpacks and newbie spells. I mean seriosuly..... I cant wait til EQ2 comes out EVERYONE will be newbies again. Only the true ventrins of EQ will do good at first.
I hate this weapon for one reason...IT'S NOT NO DROP...I hate it when a non iksar player is running around with this sword or the Lord khurki or the Greenmist khurki. STOP SELLING/GIVING THESE SWORDS TO OTHER SK RACES!!! That just ruins all the iksars self esteem that they have an uber weapon nobody else can get...This selling/giving of the heros khurki ruins the work the iksars sk have done to get them...For those who have sold/gave these away all I can say is TRAITORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude settle down, every other race can do this quest. They have to do MORE work than Iksar to get it, they have to raise faction with ALL of the Iksar guilds. That takes forever. From my experiences this is NO Drop now. This part also takes a beastly long time. I havent seen a Kly Imprecator the whole time I've been there.

Posted:Mar 10 2002 at 4:55 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) i JUST got this...and for whatever reason, it is usable by all races that can be sk's and CAN be dropped
Aye Humans and other SK capable races should keep there mits off the Iksar stuff VI needs to change this and all the other weapons back to Iksar only especialy the Greenmist
Yes, I have seen this argument a dozen times but since no one has taken up the softskin's side this time I will challenge your Iksar-centric attitude... My Troll SK has worked his green butt off to get a shot at the Khukri...first there was the faction work I needed to do just so I could DO the faction building quests (bone chips, explorer knives), then there was the weeks long collecting of bone chips/exploerer knives, THEN there was the necro faction building which people seem to forget to mention. Only then can you talk to the guild master and start the kukhri quest...but wait! Since we arent Iksar we have to get a kukhri to start the whole ball rolling...this means doing the penance quest...yet another mind numbing time sink. Only then can we start the kukhri quest. If anything...us softies have a lot more to show that we have earned the right to carry Greenmist.
Add on top of that, being the only lighty in a purely dark zone on a pvp server...the pain and torment I have to go through to finish the quest is terrifying. But I'll prolly be the first human with one on the server . God Save Bertoxxulous!
It has nothing to do with the faction work you went though. We Iksars have it pretty crappy considering we cant wear all the armor the rest of you softies have. We should have this race defining weapon to ourselves as part of the reason to go scalie!

Can you say "Verant's backhand"? I thought you could.
ok this is probly being pedantic but for you to say " we of the Crusaders of Greenmist honestly could care less" implies that since you can, by your own addmission "care LESS" that you do at this time actually care. The phrase you are so hopelessly grasping for and missing Greenmist-boy is in fact "we of the crusaders of Greenmist honestly could NOT care less". The next time you try to put someone down , at least try to use the derisory phrases properly.
"could care less" is a sarcastic term to imply that you don't care... as in "I could care less about your grammatical errors"...
Either way... bone chips were way too cheap to convince me that you were worthy of the Crusaders lore... especially one tied so deeply into the Iksars history and culture.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... to the "Sage" that said these quests are just a big waste of time...
A) Gave me something to do rather than level in DL B) Gave me a weapon I can call my own and know that I got it MYSELF C) Truly personifies the Iksar ShadowKnight Heritage D) Gives my character some originality, rather than having to use the same weapons as all the other ShadowKnights E) look up Greenmist in Allakhazam's search... the final weapon in the quest line... and drool...
ya know... for someone who posted on these boards so many times, you would think he would have thought a little before posting that comment

agreed with all those points above esspecially that of not using the same stuff as all the other sk's...i specifically had a 59de sk (i was 39 then) friend tell me that being iksar was a good race selection because of the greenmist...after he repeatedly harassed me about it before the greenmist was implemented :P

Who cares if the proc is strange? Look at the stats. How often can we get a wepon that allows us to use bash, while still having a good damage to delay ratio? It's a nice weapon to have.
I wouldn't concern yourselve's with the Enduring Breath effect of this weapon being limited, by the time they finally get the Greenmist quest fixed most of you will be 49 or above and have a spell called Breath of the Dead. As for going to Kedge..what party in their right mind would go there without at least one person that can cast EB on everyone.
It's good to see class race specific items popping up. From the effect I would guess that there will be a class/race specific quest for the good ol sk's.
On many SK boards, the common belief is that the Enduring Breath is going to be necessary for obtaining the next Khukri. I'll have to read the boards more, but I don't think anyone's gotten it yet. (the Lord's Khukri)

Yes "Enduring Breath". It can save your butt when searching for the underwater quest MOBs and the trip to Kedge Keep. It does NOT process. Notice the 3 charges? This makes it a trigged effect, right click on the weapon. Hope this helps you out.
I like the enduring breath, but 3 charges on an item that you can only get once in your life seems pretty stingie to me. I doubt it would be a huge unbalancing item to make it a self only triggered effect with some kind of horrible casting time.
This is perfect for Iksar though. 200 swimming skill and enduring breath makes for some nice hunting techniques.
