At what level does this proc?
price
# May 11 2004 at 7:48 AM Rating: Decent
in price data, i meant runebladed dagger.

this thing is way overpriced. runebladed dagger is like 8k now, which means this thing should be substantially lower. i'd only pay 3k. if that.

it's not even a great twink item considering it's a low damage dot.

Runebladed dagger has a reccomended level of 53, Fester has none. To a level 1, runebladed dagger might as well be a rusty dagger. There's your simple answer why Fester is expensive.

Range skill

It originally was a piercer and still is. There was a bug after the prepatch for Ykesha that changed fester into a range item that looked like a yellow bandana. A later patch has since fixed this bug
ITs Peircing, not archery now!
# Feb 04 2003 at 12:50 AM Rating: Default
Picked up this weapon for 15k yesterday on Druzzil Ro and it is now correct as the picture above states as a peircer, so the bugs that are mentioned below as it being a archery skill must have been fixed. Oh, and on a side note. This weapon rocks! very nice dps, quick and pretty nice backstabs, cant complain.
Archery, Not Piercing

Just saw a link for this in the bazaar, someone asking 20kpp for it on EMarr server. It is an ARCHERY skill, NOT piercing as described in other posts. Or is there more than one Fester?
RE: Archery, Not Piercing
# Jan 29 2003 at 3:38 PM Rating: Default
Yup, says archery. Saw it today 1/29/03. It is also all/all instead of ROG only.

ok. this is supposed to be pierce, but it got bugged.. it has been pierce for along time, and unless they changed it in this last patch, it's a big bug
Just Got it

A few points about this otherwise sweet dagger. (a) its not a " triggered " effect like it shows. its a random proc on the weapon. (b) it looks just like a walrus tooth when held. I bought it on the off chance that the info here was right and that is was "triggered" (since the Flesh rot 2 takes like 4.6 minutes to run its course....its not like I'm going to kite w/ it. I had thought it would make up for that by actually being triggered as opposed to random proc). I'll use it some to see if it works better than it looks....if not, then i'm selling one on Inny.

# Nov 26 2002 at 12:48 AM Rating: Decent
lol you thought it would be triggered? Common sense would tell you Verant wouldn't give rogues a triggered very nice dot; dual wield SBDs then use that and you got yerself kiting aka soloing can't have rogues goin around soloing :D

Excellent piercer, I just picked it up last night. On my server, it was going for 20k cash, and I figured that was a good enough deal considering the ratio / stats / proc.

The proc effect is LEVEL 49, just confirmed it now when I dinged.

5DD,184DoT,DEX-51,276sec

Pretty much a DoT / Debuffer, but still a good effect to have. I think very highly of this weapon, and 12 damage is great for backstabs. I highly recommend this fabulous weapon, one of the best tradeable piercers I have yet to see. Also, it's not only primary, which makes it even more convenient.

This drops of (excuse spelling) foreman mir'tak. this appears to be his rare drop although first two kills of him he dropped it. His other drops are vial of broiling gas(10 charge of lev insta click) and girdle of flayed iksar ac 6 wis 8 sta 8 mana 30 all/all.

oh and a side note this appears to have a level restriction to even equip it. My friend has this for her 40 rogue and cant equip it. We tried on a rogue of a different race who was 31 and he couldnt equip it but a 54 rogue did no problem. So that leads us to believe verant may be testing out level restrictions to prevent twinking.

Nasty effect if this goes by the same stats as the poison category of that name. DOT would pretty good. The AGI and DEX debuff of Flesh Rot would make this the perfect anti-monk weapon.
not live yet...?
# Oct 04 2001 at 7:01 AM Rating: Decent
Ok, I've read that this weapon is not live yet...anyone be able to tell me when and if its going to go live?

Good lord...

It's not enough people hafta deal with beggars in EC as well as every city zone in the game, but now they're starting to migrate here. :/

I busted my *** to get my stuff and my level. Now that I'm "high level" I share my wealth...with those that I deem worthy. Anyone who begs is NOT worthy imo. Begging, to me, shows that you want something for nothing...that you're perfectly happy throwing your dignity out the window and prostituting your honor for phat lewts. I use a ragebringer and a primal velium spear, and as such, I would be happy to give this weapon to a lower level rogue...as long as he/she demonstrated that he/she was worthy of it.

The one thing you can do to guarantee you'll never see a damned thing from me is to beg.../rude all beggars.

i would have to agree with you a busted me @$$ off to get my stuff even though i have been wearing it since lv 20 and all the newbies ask me to give them stuff i dont give crap to anyone unless they show that they can handle it. and very few have shown that they have the guts or brains to handle the stuff i earn all my money in PVP or selling stuff i farm in lower lv zones where i can root and dot it to death and it will be a cold day in hell when i give it to some n00b who dont deserve it............

Because someone named bloodydagger posted a price. As him why he posted the price. Although, in my opinion, it seems like a really nice weapon, and worth that much, if not more.

Well, I dunno if anyone knows this, but for the difficulty of Chardok, there is absolutely no loot. The occasional (albiet extremely rarely) SoS, SBS, or SAF.. I think they'll probably just be reitemizing Chardok to make a few more people go there, and not just for the Royals.
anyone notice

Nope :o) HIE is the Koada'dal acronym. HEF is Half-Elf, and regular ol' ELF is for the Fier'dal.
