I got one of these an hour ago in Velketor's. It drops off a named level 56 gargoyle not far from Velketor. We killed him twice today and got two helms. He spawned in a different location both times. He hits for upwards of 300 regularly. His name is weird, and it follows that Lord Doljarnijaronimor or whatever-his-name-is convention. You will know it when you see it :) Nice helm, lousy weight, but what the hell - it's cool nonetheless. It's funny... the mob who is a level higher and harder to get to dropped barbed ringmail gloves at 19AC. He hits for close to 400 (on my frail bottom). Go figure that Crystal Eyes coughs up the good stuff and he's a pushover and can be laced up by like 2 people. =/
Effect without an argument (effect name) usually means the actual effect is that it's a light source. Maybe one of the heavy duty clerics or whoever else has this can confirm it for me.
High bets the weight is supposed to be 2.5 not 25. The heaviest thing I've ever heard of was a bronze 2 hander that was like 20 weight. I really don't think Verant intended a hat to weigh roughly 1/4 - 1/3 of most clerics total strength.
AND I bet when they made the Tstaff, they didnt mean 10.0 they meant .10 ,they smoke tons of crack, ok, quoting someone else on another forum, : say bob, I think we should take this item and add a focus item to it even though its more of a tank item than anything, the swirling colors are gone, im gonna do some more acid bob.. : look skrewy-boy, its a DRAKE SKULL helm.. ok, think about this logically a DRAKE SKULL how heavy would that be? FUUKING heavy. and YES they love to *** over everyone in the game, not just monks.. I think.. but they still *** us monks over like little pigs in a blanket :/ Fek you verant, FEK YOU! I love EQ danm it!... er.. /frown im so torn
there are a ton of items that say effect but dont have anything after it, its just a glitch or a space left for if they ever do add an effect. i think this is real, if you are going to have 20ac on a helm it has to have SOME downside to it.
By no means is this a slam to the fine members of Unity, but Wt: 25!!!! WTF? I can't believe they would make armor this heavy. I hope there isnt a full set of this stuff.
Last time I checked dragons were considerably larger than drakes. So your point about weight being related to the size of the skull of the MOB it's named after is moot.
Well I'm the one that sent in the SS, and its not a fake. The 25 weight is a real PITA, but as a dorf cleric I can live with it most of the time. The stats while not insane are better than EM or Donals other than that not much I can say. I can't remember the name of the mob that dropped it, but it was just outside Velketors room. I personaly have been to this area four times, and have only seen one drop. With only being in the area four times its hard to say if we got lucky to get one, or unlucky not to have a few more.
