Centi Longsword  

 

As of June 9th, 2019 this still drops. Dropped off a Centi Vius, back near where the Alter Priest spawns. One drop for over 400 kills, so it is indeed pretty rare.

Since people were curious, it does still drop as of today (9/5/14). Dropped from a Teka`Temariel Centi, way in the back by Shar Vinitras. Good luck.

BTW, you can see it very plainly in their hand when they have it.

Edit: Got a second one when I logged back in today, 9/5/14. Same area, same mob. Still have yet to see them on the other Centi in the zone, but have seen shortswords, longswords, warhammers, and warpsears drop from these guys in the back near Shar Vinitras.

Second Edit: Found a third one on a Transient Patroller, so they still drop from just about any Centi (except perhaps the Young Centi near The Itraer Vius; no idea on those). Good luck.

I had been there for 3 days .. first two days 8hrs each time . Killing nearly the entire zone. and nothing. The third time I killed Strickly the Mobs on the drop rate . Was there for about 12 hrs. I had gotten two in a row .. They do in fact still drop. They are just super super rare now is all. And I had got it off of the roaming Centi .. not the "A Centi Dator" Hope this helps.

Just looted Today, 12/27/08
Off a Transient Patroller

there is no visible item on a mob in ME. you have to loot to figure it out. ive never had a CLS drop in ME.

durign my raiding days in Akheva Ruins we wiped zone clean atlest 20-30 times while we doign all named evrytime 1 would pop (+ shard/container for VT camping) - I NEVEr saw Centi LS drop - NEVER in 2 month of raiding in Akheva. I still see them on bazar however
I saw 1 centi SS drop but thats about it

Story time.

I have been playing EQ, on and off, for about 3 years. The very first week I began playing as a druid in Kelethin, a Knight came by, dressed in gleaming armor, carrying with him the coolest looking sword I had yet seen in the game. Now, granted, I hadn't seen a whole lot, but regardless...

I asked him what sword he was using, and his response was, "A Centi Longsword." I asked how
much he paid, and his response was 1500.

I made it a point, at that exact moment, to do whatever I had to do, to one day say I had a
character that level, who looked as cool with his own armor, and was wielding the same sword.

For the last 3 months, I have been saving, and saving, and saving. I've been doing LDON's,
camping in Rathe and Frontier, fighting more giants and goblins than I can bear to think of
anymore, saving every single plat I earned, to know that one day I would walk into the bazaar, and come out with this sword.

I have made it a point to go into the bazaar on a daily basis to check prices and avialability, usually ranging from 3000-3500, as low as 2499, as high as 6k.

You need to understand, although I may have some good armor, and although I have been playing for quite some time, I, like most of you, have no money in the bank, and no higher level friends willing to donate me 20k. This was all on my own.

3 months of saving finally bore its fruit, last night, around 4pm.

I was just about to log my character, when I decided id make my usual quick check to see the
item I couldn't afford, and wasn't going to be able to afford for a while.

And there it was:

Centi Longsword - 1000 plat.

Yes, I typed that correctly - 1000 plat.

As you know, by now, the sword is in my possession, and I do have to say that for the amount of building myself up as I did, waiting for this sword, I am impressed by it. But, my initial impression remains intact - this sword is WAY overpriced.

The point of this story - for those out there saving and saving and waiting and waiting as I
did, and praying that someone in the bazaar would not completely blow a fair price completely
out of proportion, dreams still come true - I'm proof. All it takes is dedication, and patience. You will eventually be rewarded.

To those on the bazaar who are listing this sword for 3.5k - get real. If you have read this little memoir, and know my history with this sword as you now do, I can safely say it's a steal for 1000, its a fair price at 1.5k, and anything after that is simply not worth it.
