Actually, it's an Inuit weapon. "Eskimo" is a highly derogatory term, applied to the Inuits by their enemies (who generally wanted to kill them). Literally translated, it means "Eater of Raw Fish".
Eski·moan adj. Usage Note: Eskimo has come under strong attack in recent years for its supposed offensiveness, and many Americans today either avoid this term or feel uneasy using it. It is widely known that Inuit, a term of ethnic pride, offers an acceptable alternative, but it is less well understood that Inuit cannot substitute for Eskimo in all cases, being restricted in usage to the Inuit-speaking peoples of Arctic Canada and parts of Greenland. In Alaska and Arctic Siberia, where Inuit is not spoken, the comparable terms are Inupiaq and Yupik, neither of which has gained as wide a currency in English as Inuit. While use of these terms is often preferable when speaking of the appropriate linguistic group, none of them can be used of the Eskimoan peoples as a whole; the only inclusive term remains Eskimo. ·The claim that Eskimo is offensive is based primarily on a popular but disputed etymology tracing its origin to an Abenaki word meaning “eaters of raw meat.” Though modern linguists speculate that the term actually derives from a Montagnais word referring to the manner of lacing a snowshoe, the matter remains undecided, and meanwhile many English speakers have learned to perceive Eskimo as a derogatory term invented by unfriendly outsiders in scornful reference to their neighbors' unsophisticated eating habits.

Usage Note: The preferred term for the native peoples of the Canadian Arctic and Greenland is now Inuit, and the use of Eskimo in referring to these peoples is often considered offensive, especially in Canada. Inuit, the plural of the Inuit word inuk, “human being,” is less exact in referring to the peoples of northern Alaska, who speak dialects of the closely related Inupiaq language, and it is inappropriate when used in reference to speakers of Yupik, the Eskimoan language branch of western Alaska and the Siberian Arctic.
I picked one of these up at the Gnoll Spires in South Karana, got lucky on the rolls. Heard it goes for around 150+pp. Drop rate seemed rare for it at least, I was there in SK for over 4 hours and didn't hear of anyone picking one up.
i just got my first one of these the other day and am prolly gonna be nice and just give it to some low lvl monk or beastlord. ive seen one of these sell for round 300p when it was first see on tallon zek. i havent seen any others even for sale. dont think many ppl know bout em yet. and as far as rarity me and a shammy friend did gnolls for about 6 hours and we only got one of em that whole time. so the drop rate must differ somewhat
Ok this seems to drop 1 in every 2 hours ish as a random. we were at the middle spires for 8hours and 3 dropped in that time and reports of drops from avaiks came in also from then lvl 19 people there at KFC. We went need before greed on one and rolled on 2. I lost
given the price of fists of horn at 500pp for 8 26 h2h I would give these a rating of less then 100pp to beastlords and 50pp to monks. only a rare drop in a low zone. would only call then this price due to the Beastlord wis and mana bonuses vs monk not needing them in a weapon AS MUCH. also would no be good for higher lvl monks due to the 4 ratio. and that they get better then 36delay and damage on their skill. Remember Monks are very poor at those lvls. more poeple are picking these up then can use them right now so check those merchants
lvl to get these is not 30 more like 18 to 34 Trivia !!! an Ulak is an Eskamo weapon used for seal hunting. also a very good skinning tool for them but dont know if it can be used as one in EQ.
