Wakizashi of the Frozen Skies  

 

While waiting around in Stonebrunt for Heretics to pop, I've been fear-kiting a few of the animals dual-wielding these. Just for fun, I had a high level shaman in my guild give me a large Dex buff. You would not believe the damage output that comes from 2 of these chain-procing.

Oh yeah, the weight on these buggers also makes em rather sought after, 1.5? pretty light weapon.

Had to add my 2cp. :)

Okay I know the big rush is on to sell this weapon and some people are paying stupid prices (saw one go for 3.5k!), but this will end quickly as hundreds and yes I mean hundreds flood the EC market. When looking at the value of this thing two things should be considered. First how it compares to the SSOY which on most servers still goes for around 1k. So how does it measure up? Well for the most part it is inferior. Yes it does do more DD on the Proc, but it is also easier for the MOBS to resist some or all of the damage than the SSOY. The proc does 81DD compared to 75DD of the SSOY but the damage ratio on the SSOY is better and over the course of a battle the SSOY will end up doing more damage unless you proc every second swing and come who does that? Second thing to consider is how easy is this weapon to get? The answer is extremely simple I completed this quest 3 times in about 5 hours (of course I made sure to collect all my asp poison sacs first to avoid travelling back and forth). Granted now that everyone knows about this quest the pandas are harder to find, but this still gives you an idea of the ease of this quest. Compare that to the SSOY or the Dragon Horn of Ykesha, these weapons require a lot more effort. Just as a note another advantage of the Wakazashi is it procs at a lower level but show me a 20th level character who can pay 2k and I'll show you a twink who probably could have had his main do it for him in the first place. All and all I would put this weapon in the 750pp range I think that's a fair price but if you've thought of something that I haven't let us know!

That's the way things seem to go right when new items are found. They go for insane amounts of pp, so more and more people farm them, and less and less people need them. And you end up with these things selling for 500pp within a couple weeks :P

The first two days Stonebrunt Mountains came out someone I know got 2 Forlorn Totems, traded one for a knuckle duster, and another for a prayer shawl. I bet those people are kicking themselves now :)

well they fixed the looting in the zone for some reason i can loot the bambo shots and the fruit. They are common forage items and now even us upper level characters can do this quest.

LOL crap damage isn't so bad! Its about the delay compared to the damage, and this weapon is fairly nice for someone that dual weilds.

Nice ratio, wonderful look (Very unique) and the proc is generally better then yak (More damage). I'm a 40 shaman, and this is a relatively low level Shaman nuke, alot of things tend to have a bunch of cold resist so it'll get resisted part or fully quite often. All in all, still a great weapon.

doesnt work for my lvl 13 rogue- so the range it might start procing at is 14-21 since we already know it procs at 22 from BS panther's post

Same damage/delay as the Short Sword of Morin, without the stats, but WITH a proc. Nice item to have around, and even better that they can be dual wielded because they aren't lore like the SSoM. Probably a bit harder to get than the SSoM, but not bad at all and a lot easier to get than the Yak, and with a better proc which goes off at a lower level.

I know these proc between 10 and 22. They proc for my ranger at 22, however did not for a 9 SK. Will be testing some more tonight to narrow the range a bit.

The effect is an 81 point cold-based DD. The nice thing about it is, unlike Ykesha, you can get partial damage from a partial resist. Don't know for sure what level is required, but current rumor is level 20.

Anyone know what the effect is?
