I was given this by one of my guild officers who stumbled across it one day. For damage this thing is pretty bad. But it really shines in PvP caster duels. Most casters have a minimum cast time of 2 and the TC has a delay of 1.7. Along with my FBSS I hit far faster than they can cast. This gives a lot of interrupts. For ordinary melee its not bad but at level 41 I have better off handers. But its first slot in my duelling kit right next to my pumice stone.
Who drops Tombcarver?

anyone know who drops the Tombcarver?

I believe it's the rare drop from any of the mobs. Got it off a spectral guardian? I think?
Excellent piercer

At 28th, I still use my tombcarver from time to time in my offhand. It's super fast and should be considered as an essential for any rogue. However, at 30th, I'll put it away and use my Burning Rapier (7/20) full-time because of the procs. So, if you're looking to get a Tombcarver on Tarew Marr, send Fluxus a tell and I'll cut you a really good deal. Rogues need to stick together (and halfling rogues get an additional 20% off!!!).
I got a deal
# Dec 17 2001 at 1:34 AM Rating: Decent
I paid 100pp for this on povar. I am now weilding this in main hand and a crystalized shadow rapier in off hand. My spine chill spear and yak will be sitting in the bank until I am high enough lvl for the procs on them.

I love this weapon after having it for about 10 days now. The problem I have with it though is that for group fighting it can get you killed if you are fighting anything higher than an even con, it works great for soloing most blues. I am now a lvl 30 rogue and after trying this out in LoIO with a group at the Sarnak fort, I quickly realized that I was pulling aggro away from our warrior, ranger, and the monk. I don't have any haste items yet and I doubt they did either but the speed on this was awsome. The bs was low, highest I got was a 61 but over all speed was amazing. I have started toting my spinechill spear with me so when I get a group I use it to keep the aggro where it belongs...on the tank. The mob might turn and hit me once or twice after sticking him in the back for 126 dmg but the tank can easily pull aggro back.

BTW, I got a chanter to cast haste on me and I attacked a mob and all that was in my text box was "You hit a sarnak recruit for 15 dmg" and his hps just steady dropping. Can't wait til I have enough plat for an fbss.

I got another great deal in faymart the other day, paid 800pp for a locustlure. I wield the locustlure in main hand and tombcarver in off hand. I am smokin. I almost have enough plat for an fbss now. I know there are better haste items but for now the fbss will work. I love my rogue and my guild is raiding cazic on friday so I will hopefully get some rs out of it. I like my mith bp but want rs arms legs and misc other slots.

Strange that some people will pay 9k easily for a 9 19 Lametation but consider a 5 17 as junk when they would never have a chance of obtaining either for many levels.

If rogues were only concerned about backstab damage they would be using weapons like the Gunthark Harpoon paired with a shield in favor of dual-wielding a Slimecoated Harpoon and Burning Rapier. I don't think I've ever seen a rogue above 13 ever using a shield and using extremely slow high-damage weapons - especially when that monster backstab your planning on either misses or succeds in making that critter very interested in how you taste.

Personally I would put 600 to 700 pp as a quite nice price for this. Especially since its very rare to see more than 1 or 2 Kaesora items for sale at the same time unless its from one person.
RE: Strange
# Sep 18 2001 at 5:08 AM Rating: Decent
Rogues conside BOTH regular damage and backstab damage when choosing weapons.

If the gunthark harpoon was rentable many rogues would be using it, which is excatly the reason it is NORENT.

A very good evaluation of the value of a rogue weapon is straight dam/delay, as the greater main hand damage bonus from low dealy weapons, is balanced with backstab potential of higher damage. 5/17 is worse than a SBD (8/27), and the SBD has a useful proc, so it should value at less.

Now if it was usuable by warriors it would be worth more, but well it is rogue only.

in the main hand, the 5/17 might be better simply since you get more chances at putting in your bonus damage. When backstab recycles, simply switch to your high damage weapon and stab, then switch back to the quicker weapon.

Having the best ratio isnt necessarily the best for main hand.. it is for offhand, since you have no bonus damage there. If you can juggle a couple weapons, you'll do the most damage overall.
RE: Strange
# Oct 16 2001 at 7:54 AM Rating: Decent
It is very true that you can get a damage increase by doing weapon swapping, and then your analysis of weapons changes.

However if you are not into weapon swaping, which is the case for a large part of the rogue comunity, then stright dam/dly is a good approximantion of weapon quality for both main hand and off hand.

But even taking weapon swapping into consideration, you have to be fairly high level for the main hand bonus to make this better than a burning rapier (a resonable point of comparison), and at that level you sould have access to better weapons.

Just got my BR, and I'm using TC in the offhand until i hit 30th. Delay is 17 for TC, versus 20 for BR. I choose the TC until the BR procs. Am I wrong here?

Do us all a favor and keep your ignorant comments to yourself. This is a good weapon for lower lvls who can't afford to get the "uber" weapons you have. Go jerk off with some gasoline or something, then get that foot long ***** out your @$$, it really seems to be putting you in a bad mood.

Would not have worded it precisely the same way, but I agree with Shamz. Amazing how some people in this game seem almost to have been instantly incarnated Uber and were totally spared having to ever be a Newby at all. When they turn around like this and disparage items that some of the rest of us CAN afford or WOULD appreciate obtaining, all the while showing off that they have some very nice things which we cannot yet hope to get, I lose the last shreds of any respect I would normally have had for them as fellow players.
looks nice- but... ?

I am a lvl 21 rouge with backstab (of course) and i was wondering if this weapon would be better than a gloomwater harpoon in the second hand slot.
this may be an obvious question but i would still like an answer if anyone can help.

also- what would the going price for this be on the Tribunal server?
Got a deal!
# Aug 24 2001 at 12:42 AM Rating: Decent
I suppose I got a deal on this. I'm a 21 Rogue on Povar, and some Druid was selling this in Oasis for 150pp. Naturally, I bought it. I still prefer my Walrus Tooth, but it's a good weapon.
#REDACTED, Posted: Aug 20 2001 at 2:38 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Well hotdamn! this is an amazing weapon (considering everyones trying to sell it) I wish I had one of my own

I picked up a tombcarver on the rathe with my shadow knight and promptly went to the tunnel to sell it after learning it's worth on this website.
Good luck trying to sell this for 640pp, I couldn't get one offer over 200pp. I agree it should be worth the posted price, it's a nice weap with nice stats, but sadly I'm having troubles giving it away.

Whats better a serrated bone dirk or this

oh yeah the SBD doesn't proc yet only lvl 10
Wrong
# May 29 2001 at 5:40 AM Rating: Default
Duel wield has nothing to do with the delay in the primary. Every time the offhand weapon would attack if it were in the primary hand, it rolls to see if it actually will. So if u had this weapon offhand and a 34delay weapon in primary, u would hit twice offhand for everyonce primary (theoreticaly thinking that u will win every dw roll that occurs)
not as nice as it seems..
# May 25 2001 at 4:12 PM Rating: Default
I am not sure EXACTLY how dual weild works, but if you had this weapon as your second hand weapon and a higher dmg higher delay weapon as your first hand (for backstab) .. The second hand weapon would have to wait for the first hand weapn to strike before IT strikes.. So the delay wouldn't really matter on it unless you had it in first hand.. but it would really suck for backstab.. this weapon is good for a twink until they get backstab.. but after that I would try to get 2 weapons with a little higher dmg and delay.. preferably the same weapon or close to each other..

If anyone DOES know exactly how dual weild works and I am wrong.. then please share what you know because I think the tombcarver is a great little weapon as far as ration and speed and would like to see myself proved wrong
