He just made that up. You have to have an IQ of a toaster if a Knight is going to use a weapon like this. Or a Defiance.

Hm...
I find it odd that your guild would award a paladin the SoZ... Nothing wrong with it I guess, but there are MUCH better paladin 1handers out there. Most guilds would award this to a Warrior simply because of the HP and the Ratio.

Agree with you but first, take a look at a few things, he's lvl 52. You have to be at least lvl 55 to join a raid to kill this mob unless if your very lucky. He could have got it a number of ways, maybe he bought it, maybe someone in his guild or a friend bought it for him, maybe someone in his guild had it, got something better then handed it down to him? Second of all he said he had a defiance, wich also drops off of the Idol of zek if I'm not mistaken. Again you have to be 55+ to help kill that thing. Again he probably could have bought a defiance. Anyways if he did buy them I'd like to know one thing, where and how he made the money for them? LOL. IMOP guilds should give this out to warriors first. It's a great aggro holder from what I've heard.(and just looking at the ratio) And most warriors dual wield this along with a blade of carnage wich is a better combo than war epics.

ive done statue and vindi raids since lvl 50. heck, we've had a 48 cleric there with us. you may be thinking of Avatar of War...though ive seen below 55's there too.....for cannon fodder, hehe.
ill admit though, on the statue and vindi, my songs did not start to land on him until about lvl 55 (oos prolly helped) but i never had a problem hitting him or charming another giant (if one happened to pop) to attack him

To ber frank, the members of the guild had much better already. I recently upgraded this to an ancient gladius, which is definately better for a Paladin. Also - not sure why Alla has me at 52 etc. I hit 57 last night and was 55 when I left this original post. I guess I need to update something. You guys were right tho - it was just an award until something better for me dropped and this sword is definately better for a war. It helped me though and had a higher damage ratio than the defiance.
what he means is he rolled on it and screwed someonw whoe can use another weapon with it instead of a 1hs with a ratio of less then 1...basically its droppable so the first upgrade he gets it's going in the bazaar on an anonymous mule.
of course i could be wrong and he will use it forever

PC on this item is about 60-70k on Quellious. I talked seller down, and got mine for 55k last night. Very happy with my purchase.
Holy Junk.....55k? This weap goes for about 20k max on Vallon Zek, and thats saying something for a PvP server. You payed too much. Go the the local uber guild on your server and tell them to send some parties to Kael and get some, hopefully that will drop the price. Great weapon, but not for 55k IMHO.

I might sound...like a newbie (and for those who know me, know otherwise) but i would really only pay at most like 20k for it. AT MOST! It reminds me alot of the Lammy and Defiance (just better :) and u can get those on my server for about 3k-6k depending on seller. But i would expect this to be at about 8k-11k since they are getting more and more common it seems. Just my 2cp. Thx everyone.

This is why...
it is one of the best warrior weapons in the game. Warriors pay for low delay in primary especially, and with 11 dmg and the +str boost, this weapon becomes an agro manager and will output very decent damage. 10 AC is beautiful, tanks pay massive amounts to upgrade their armor pieces for extra ac. Finally, 100hp on any item will make it worth much more easily. All of that together makes this one of the fastest weapons in the game with some of the most desired warrior stats. This is why it is worth so much, regardless of the fact that it is also rare off of a MOB that some servers still don't raid.

I don't see why this sword would run that high... True, I've been druish most my life, but I've played bard and ranger past 40 and although this sword has some decent stats I'm not all that impressed.

1)of 1hs weapons, it's number 23 according to pure ratio. and the 18 delay ensures lots of taunt. out of well over 300 items, it's awesome.
2)+10 str is nothing to laugh at
3)what tank can't use +10 ac?
4)+75hp, once a tank his the softcap for AC, he needs +hp gear. (think of casters with over 200 int/wis needing +mana items more).
does that help?

I have a Swiftblade of Zek on my alt and the stats are a little different. 10ac +10str +100hp +25mana and of course 11/18 1hs, I don't know when the hp bonus was changed, just letting you know.

Actually Blade of Carnage is better. Drops from Avatar of War that spawns when Statue of Rallos Zek is killed. Can you imagine living through battle with statue only to have Avatar pop on top of its corpse 8(

Posted: Jan 09 2002 at 9:56 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) ever heard of .... 'pulling'?
If the AoW pops on top of the Statue's corpse (like Rak pops on Black Reaver corpses in CoM), then you could pull the Statue wherever you wanted and still get the AoW right on top.

AoW pops in the temple, not where the Statue dies.
I believe the AoW despawns in 30 minutes.
I believe the AoW despawns in 30 minutes.
This may have changed since the above people posted, but the IDOL of Rallos Zek spawns when the STATUE of Rallos Zek is killed, down a tunnel which starts to the east of the alcove where the Statue spawns -- the tunnel comes out next to the PVP arena -- the area with the spectators -- in the alcove there, and the Idol spawns just behind that. Once the Idol dies, the Avatar of War spawns right in the middle of the PVP arena. This is true as of last night, when we killed the 3 spawns for the first time. :D

AoW does pop in temple and despawns in 1 hour. And it's on heck of a fight.

It looks like a yak, so what, not every weapon needs a diffrent unique graphic. The CSS looks like a horrid sword that drops in FOB, do you her anyone complaining bout that, NO. Why? BECAUSE THE CSS RULES ALSO. If it's a great sword, why should the graphics matter.

Posted: Sep 11 2001 at 4:04 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) this weapon is amazing dmg/del but come on the speed kings of weapons are supposed to be rogues. throw one of these in your offhand and put rage or some such in your primary and watch a rogue turn into a blender. the 10str is a great help to backstab as well. As for the + mana for rangers and such, who cares? my rogue uses a slimer right now and that has both mana and wis.
hum with a weapon like this not even you evade skill will help you out on gettign the aggro fo you =p
warnning dont play with fire let the big warriors handle this weapon.

Yes agreed, drool drool, this is a weapon to get excited about, the stats kick ***, it has incredible damage for so little delay, and yes, I would use it if even if it looked like a rusty dagger, HOWEVER these other guys do have a valid point. Verant spends alot of time improving the game this way and that, however, it would be nice for a new look every now and again. Saying they can't make a new looking weapon is inane especially when they went out of their way to make so many new armor looks for Velious itself (even though monks get the shaft ONCE AGAIN and their plain of growth armor looks like cured silk, monks aren't supposed to be adorned in beautiful garments :adjusts his froglok KING crown: I ware a crown, so what? can my crap brown garments just have a little tinge of blue or something?). Anyway, Verant is always making improvments to the game, and with the new expansion coming out you may be able to expect some more advancments in the graphics of the game. Again, awsome blade, graphic not a big problem, but no need to put down others who want to see a little change in the mediocre weapon selection of sprites.

I saw this blade while in EC tunnel. Yes it looks like ykesha but it is larger (longer) and is a brassish color.
Actually, I think I saw one of these the other day in the Spires in GFay. At least, it was a "Swiftblade" of some kind, I recall that much of the weapon name.
It looked like a katana, like those Bronze Katanas that drop in the Warrens. You know, the ones that people were complaining because they looked so cool, but were reasonably crappy weapons?
I saw a Naginata on another high level character, too. I forget the name exactly, it was a single word (like "Forloren" or something. A real word. Not Lamentation, I checked. :) I had a feeling they were going to recycle those graphics for spiffy weaponry, its nice to be vindicated.

You want graphics ? go to an arcade. I have no problem with the recycled models. It is a role playing Game, Just imagine you are smarter and the weapon looks better while you are doing great damage and have added bonus magic to your killing hardware!

well that rogue is an idiot, for first things first rogue cant use this weapon. this weapon has better damage AND Better delay then a lamentation, plus it adds good statistics. and then there's the weight, which at the lvl it is possible to get this baby weight wont matter for a warrior much, but the weight is another very good thing about the weapon. AND I dont see why any rogue would want this over a bloodpoint, unless there bloodpoint was proccing, because this weapon has three less delay and one more damage then a bloodpoint, the end of my long runon message =)
