Reaver  

 

25 pounds and not magic wtf id take my argent protector over this any day

only thing that sucks about this sword is it is not magical

Anyone who says this weapon sucks is either an idiot, green with envy, or has their epic. I just got mine and I am now ripping mobs apart. With a DPM of 1200, how can you go wrong? And it is not NO DROP. If you don't like yours, then send me a tell and I will buy it from you for my guildies.

I Think that this is a very good weapon, i am a lvl 47 Human Shadow knight and I never have had any problem using this non magical weapon against anything. The low lvl Sk spell Grim aura or the right clicky shrunken goblin skull earrings effect (Grim aura) will make this non magical weapon magical and add a attack boost of about 25, If you aren't a sk, the earrings go for about 7k on my server.

For those who think this weapon sucks, I partly agree with them. But if you take a holistic view, every warrior or melee classes should have a vareity of weapons sitting in thier weight reduction bags. As a warrior, standard weapons like Lammy and centi LS (or others good ration 1hand weapon) are MUST. But they are boring, unless they can proc. But reaver has brought som much FUN to me and my grp mates.

Take my example in KC, I have been hitting well but others would not know as they all turned off OTHER HIT in the menu. But I can score Crit Hit. My Crit Hit has been in the range of 200 to 300. Grp mates were tried to compliment my Crit Hits coz they have seen good Crit hit from my reaver too many times. At last, I had one sucks Crit hit of 25dmg. They all said "WOOOOOOT Nice Crit Hit". I replied "That was from my KICK Lol"

I have had so much fun with this weapon. I paid 14k on this weapon but the amount of happiness I get is much greater than 14k.

Think about what you can buy for 14k. Couples of Cobalt for me, but they do not really bring me as much happiness as Reaver does.

Ring you bells?

i have recently heard that there is a quest now to change the reaver to a magical item...is this true and if so where at?

since the new self only spells that goes on your wep for paladins instrument of rohd set nife couldnt you use this all the time. I bielive rangers also got a wep spell since lucan came out I would suspect sk's did too but not sure

Well picked this up recently, and was nervous about what I would and wouldnt be able to hit.
So far all I can say is wow.. The only things that I have been unable to hit are named in akedva and undead frogs in seblis, everything else(so far) gets hit, including all mibs in HoT in ToV that I attacked (doubt it would on named however)

For me stamina drain is not a problem thanks to yaulp 4. I hit in the high 180's 190's most of the time with max about 235.

Basically with the damage and great resists, I am a happy Pally :)

It seems like messages here were posted by those who have not had their hands on a Reaver so let me share some of my experience.

This weapon has been upgraded to 40/40. Other stats remain the same (still non-magic, +12 saves and weight). First of, there is no need to argue that it is one of the best damaging weapons (in terms of damage ratio) in the game. In fact, it is the most damaging one that is tradable. Only more damaging weapons than this are drops from named dragons in ToV and from Tunare.

There are two potential problems with this weapon -- its weight (hence STA of the weilder) and being non-magic.

Weight is a problem but not as bad as you might think. At 50+, you should be having STA at around 100. I managed to have STA slightly above 100, at expanse of STR sometimes. In a standard group battle, the STA bar will drop to near zero at the end of fight. With STA at 100 or higher, you don't need to worry about AGI loss when STA bar hits zero, and from experience, I hit slightly less than with full STA bar but still deal a significant damage. As a Paladin, I just zing myself between the battles, or simply sit down for a few seconds. With a shaman in group, you can forget about this at all.

Regarding non-magic, I spend most of my level 50+ days in Velk's Lab. All mobs there -- spiders and dogs -- are non-magical. In fact, Reaver is very good for chopping up dogs (some are casters) because of its resists. In KC, I have hit dogs and skellies with it, but cannot hit hands or VS with it. I have not tried it in Sebillis but I think I can hit skellies with them. Personally, I prefer 1hs (slash and bash) in KC and Seb zones. It is pretty useless in Chardok with sarnaks but skellies can be hit. It is great for chopping giants (after all, it comes from them), but useless for dragon raids.

After all, this is a GREAT weapon. I am lucky enough to obtain it at my early 50's. I think you can count number of Reavers on Rodcet Nife since there aren't very many guilds that can take down the Statue, and Reaver is not always dropped. But funny thing is, when Reaver drops, no one really wants it so it usually is sold for guild fund. You might be lucky to pick one up at reasonable price.

is 40/40 now


btw, dmg bonus depends not only on the dly of the weap, but the class/lvl of its wielder.

so don't go around tellin everyone what the damage bonus is cuz you dunno what it will be when they wield it.

Apparently this thing is now 40dmg 40dly. It sucks that it's not magic. But my SK is currently level 37 and still using it a ton. Every in Cazic is non magic. Most mobs in Mistmoore are non magic too. Paid 3k to buy a Deathbringers Rod so if I run into a magic mob I just lose a bit of damage but still wail it. And when those non magic mobs come by they get their asses kicked in short order.

I need someone that owns the Item to verify the Damage/Delay ratio.

Castersrealm has it listed as 35/45

EQPrices also lists this item at 35/45

I also seem to remember the first post here as having a different ratio than 36/40

Was the first post here wrong?
