I farm these for my skelli - they look really cool on him. Picked up a forlorn bow for my twink while I was there too. WLR isn't really that bad when this stuff drops.
Hey, I'm on Xegony and would like to buy one, can someone tell me where i could BUY one? i am kos in paineel, and i cant get to warrens. My guy's name is Decklin Macleod.
I want one of those damn katanas!!!! But no one has one to sell and I cant get on ebuy killing one of those monsters. If anyone can help me out sent me an email at mr_nice_guy16405@yahoo.com or give my character a tell or leave me a message on the message board telling me if you can help. my characters name is izdaien.
Actually there is a VERY good weapon using this model, the Velium Swiftblade, drops in Kael Drakkal, not sure of the ratio but it's a great 1hs with a haste effect.
A range I've known for a little while has one and it looks quite the bomb diggity on him

This thing has the same stats a bronze long sword. which really doesnt fit with its history, a katana is generally a fast light weapon. its dam should actually be less then a long sword but it should also be much lighter and very fast
If you want historical acuracy dont play a fantasy game my fellow. IF it were accurate to historical it would be useable both 1 and 2 handed with the 2 handed opition being higher damage. IF it the game were histricly acurate a rapier would be useable both Peirceing and 1hs. IF it were acurate historicaly Plate armor wouldnt be worn while swimming. But it isnt based on histrical acuracy, its based on haveing fun, so sit back and enjoy the game for what it is.
these look soooooo nice, its too bad they arent great weapons. I had a pair on my 26th warrior, and with celerity they kick ***, but they still could be better...i hope Verant upgrades the King or makes better versions at some point, the graphic for these weapons is too good to waste on newbie weapons... how about a magic/lore 7/28 katana (putting it on par with a Barbed Leather Whip, about the same level as the King in Warrens)? its still not great but its better then 5/32 :)
Seriously though, I agree - they should implement other versions of this weapon model, i.e. Fine Steel Katana, Well Balanced Katana - such an incredibly cool weapon.

Posted:Mar 16 2001 at 9:35 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Am I the only one that feels its a bit of an insult to have such sweet Japanese looking weapons, especially a Katana, that have stats that a newbie would turn their nose up at?
Oh come on. You can't be surprised :) The Sarnak Knights Sword shares the same graphic, and has better stats. It drops at the Sarnak Fort in BW. Though, by the time you get there, you'll probably have something better though. I've got one in a bank because its for a quest I might decide to do if I'm not lazy and its NO DROP.
i do think the stats are kinda dull but the other guy is right it is only bronze wait till we have a FS katana 7/25 or maybe 8/28 thats not bad at all they can always raise the stats on a weapon with better qualitys and who know verant might actualy do something smart and make magic katanas that realy kick *** Chileaf<Anklebiters United> the tribunal
I can kind of understand some of it, these are bronze weapons and not fine steel. And the katana is more of a two handed weapon that can be used with one hand. Since this one is 1H Slash I can understand its stats not being up to par, without training it would be hard to use.
True it is a weapon that takes skill to master, but that doesnt mean that the stats on this beautiful weapon should be so horrid. Have you ever seen a master samurai use a katana? the stats should be 15/20 if it was based on how the weapon preforms with training
What the heck is a "junk" rarity? Granted, it is not a weapon I would *ever* want to use, but at least stick to the common, uncommon, rare, ultra rare nomenclature...
Yeah i agree that they are junk stats..but it could lead to better Katanas down the road. least they have the look and this sword on the game incase they ever want to make more of these weapons that are better in stats.
They prob will, but knowing verents logic.. itll drop in ToV or deep in SS. So we'll have some crap *** katanas a newbie wont even use, and some uber katanas only 4 or 5 ppl will have :P
