This sword is real and the stats are correct i have this sword on my 46 warrior on Brell Serilis, it was given to me by a stranger to whome i did a favor for his newbie char, he ooc'd for some help and i did so, to my surprise a level 55 warrior hailed me shortly after and said Thanks for my assistance and that i deserved to be rewarded and viola he gives me the sword. So, never underestimate the NOOB that askes for a little help, i always help when possible, after all i was a noob at one time also. If you would like a link on it just catch me in-game and i will let you see that it is for real.
Ok I was just looking for a 1hs for my warrior and saw Exquisite Velium War Sword was priced at 1000pp and this like over 21kpp and Exquisite is 12/22 how is that possible? I know some items are rarer but I wouldn't think there would be like a 20kpp diff.
JPEG compression, conversion and the game images themselves aside, if the weapon is a fake, then you aren't going to know it by reading a post here. You are going to know it by heading to the zone it supposedly drops in and killing the mob. Stop bashing the pic.
I personally think the item is on the up and up. Of course, you could always message the guy in question and ask to see it in a trade window...
its not fake....saw a ranger named tarkumi on ayonea with this and another one of the velium swords...said a friend got them for him in DN. nice weps :)
All the warswords save the Exquisite drop off the Chetari in Dragon Necropolis. They are uncommon/rare off of the rats. Most of the time the rats have regular Velium weapons. SOMETIMES they have the real nice stuff. This is NOT a fake. I have personaly seen this sword drop, plus better ones too.

Not to be a nay sayer, but look around the area were it list classes that can use it. See how ti lookes like someone ALMOST had the color of the background right and cleared it and put new info over it..may have to stare for a bit, but you can tell. No JPEG compression makes it look like a blot-job was done in it :P
Oh not this again, thats just because of the jpg compression people, this weapon is REAL.
You know I've never liked newbie bashing but it has become more and more popular for newbies who just read every spoiler website to give opinions and information as if they were really level 60's.
Go into Old Sebilis or any of the SoV dungeons, stick around at the entrace for a while and inspect every melee class that zones in, you'll see some guy with one of these for sure.
There are a lot of variants of the Warsword (all dropped in Dragon Necropolis)
I have a Honed (10/21) and a Hammered (11/24) Velium Warsword. Sounds like another of the series to me. Why would anyone fake it. These are all Lore, so the variations are a good thing.

Posted:Feb 15 2001 at 3:29 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Look near the letters, its more fuzzy than most items, compare for yourself, i for one think this is not real. If its not, then damn its a bad screenshot :)
That fuzziness depends on how much the image is compressed when you convert to jpeg. It is slightly suspect because the icon is the same one used for some daggers (like the sacrificial dagger) while it's a slashing weapon. But if someone was going to fake an item, this one doesn't have very impressive stats for a fake.
Ummmm... they use a runic carver type looking icon for the knuckle duster. Figure that one out, the KD isn't even a slashing weapon at all and has no resemblance to a sword. They're just too lazy to make new icons. And second off, JPEG compression does the "fuzzy" thing around the letters. This is one sweet sword.
it seems kinda weird that a 1h slash weapon would have the picture of a stiletto. I wonder if its real? If it is real, I wonder what the thing looks like when you hold it.
I have just a plain Velium war sword (10/24) that has the same icon as this weapon, looks like a crystaline sword from SoV when weilded. (the regular velium war sword that is.)

Its real, it looks like a crystalline short sword when wielded, yes it does have the icon of a sac dagger, its found in dragon necropolis off of the ratman, yes he is ugly lookin, and for you stupid newbies who think everything with a low damage ratio is fake, there are much better 1h weapons, stave of shielding, found in chardok of random guys, dmg 17 dly 28 1hb, we got one last week, so blah to you!
