got one of these bad boys the other day did drop off of loremaster. was a joint guild raid i won the roll against about 25 other people =) nice damn weapon my main is now a monk but the weight was a lil high for me i gave to my brother to use who is a warrior he says it is an insane aggro builder. I just told him he better never sell it cause when i finally get my fungi ill be a soloing machine with this sucker in my backpack of goodies.

i think its a good idea to sell it. you can twink you monk pretty well with 18k and level up faster so you can aquire another for you later, when you can use it effectively and your ID is higher, even tought it Rarely works anyway which sucks. Verent needs to give it like 80 percent chance at maxed out skill. When i was playing a monk level 42 i could never get it to work on mobs close to my level.

#REDACTED, Posted: Jun 05 2002 at 6:17 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) if i were you i would keep it. all you need are a few items to solo with ease. fungi tunic, haste belt, and this an item that snares. no more chasing after mobs when they are low and therefore less chance of adds. i may not be the first to say this. but stats mean very little in all honesty. but an item like this can save your life.
#REDACTED, Posted: Dec 05 2002 at 5:49 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Stats are useless? Are you a moron? I suppose stats are there for just show. I like to look at my Str, it makes me look cool. What a moron. I suppose saves are useless because they are stats too. Buy a clue, you worthless waste of flesh.

I agree but you also have to think about this: In almost every fight there is a turning point. If your turning point is against you in the battle, with this weapon, you might be able to outrun it - SOW or no SOW. It does depend on what you are fighting and wether they run fast or faster than SOW, but with this weapon - either way you have a better chance of not dieing if the fight is not in your favor.

I would kill for this. You ever think about Fear Kitting? Me and my necro buddies do it all the time in Chardok ZI but if i had some form of snare i could do it solo.
Just something for you to think about

What drops this weapon?
# Mar 05 2002 at 10:25 AM Rating: Default
Hi there,

I'm interested in finding out what drops this weapon. I solo with my monk a lot and having anything that casts snare, even as a proc, would be a huge asset. My guild raids Chardok occasionally, and I might be able to get them to take a few minutes to go grab one of these for me if I knew what dropped it and where it spawns.

Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

Says in the zone description that this zone has many random drops, since there is no spawn mentioned I'm guessing that it drops off anything in zone

Did this thing just start dropping a few days ago or something? I've never heard of one before, and there is no pricing data, and all the comments are posted after the 8th, so I'm guessing that it must just have started dropping as of last patch? Someone is selling one on Tholuxe that I want to buy, but there is no price reference and I don't know how common the dang thing is, cause this is the first one I've ever seen being sold.

I bought this weapon tonight for a Jade Mace and a Bloodpoint, worth about 13kp total on my server. Not a bad deal, IMO, the guy said he loved the mallet, that the proc worked great for taunt. He also said he got it off the Loremaster in the Chardok fortress, and I think not only is the Loremaster a pretty rare spawn, but i think this is his rare drop, and since no body camps Chardok royals for exp, this isn't getting looted much, so its pretty rare. Looks like a big Brown Wooden Mallet, cool look.

No, this dropped mid December of last year. I had to email the item in 3 times since then to get it added here. It is relatively new, but still about 2 months old. Either these are staying in guilds and not being sold much, or they're just that rare.

Decent damage/delay weapon and it keeps mobs from training all over the frigging zone.

Lady, either you're sadly misinformed of other classes capabilities, or extemely self-centered to be complaining about an ultra rare weapon that procs a snare. Especially when there's already an ultra-rare 1HB weapon (Sap Encrusted Branch) that also procs snare in PoG.

Perhaps you should experience a monk train in zone full of mobs and either runs over your little butt, or spoils a camp you've been working for the last 5 hours, and enlightens you as to the joy of allowing a snareable weapon to a 'mere' melee class; especially when said melee couldn't find a 'snare' class in our level range on that particular night.

I think this would be neat to dual wield with a "Ribcracker." You could have this in your main hand and the Ribcracker in your secondary (b/c it is Secondary only). Don't get me wrong there may be better weapons, but I just think that it would be cool to have an "Anklesmasher" and a "Ribcracker" both. Here is a link to the "Ribcracker" if you have no idea what I'm talking about. Thanks.

Tell you what would make an awesome combo. This weapon and a silken whip of ensnaring(14/28 -5ac procs snare either melee)The +ac on anklesmasher almost offsets the -ac on the whip. Everytime a warrior hits he would have a chance to snare. Just imagine the agro. =)

This has dropped twice during guild raids, so far those are also the only ones I've seen on the server. Dropped off of Loremaster something or another out of the library. Nice weapon, the aggro is great for tankin.

It's called Evolution:
Back when dual weilding SSoY's were "Ub3r"... that WAS the best alternative!... Kunark came out and introduced NEW weapons (better alternatives)... then Velious came out (even better alternatives) and now look at some of the Luclin stuff coming out!

Verant made EPIC weapons, practically EPIC zones, raised the lvl cap, and gave classes different skills... some people wish it to back to the "good ole' days" when Rangers had SOW at 50 and ShadowKnights never had Lifetaps, and great items weren't sold cheap, and very few twinks were around... but I feel the game is evolving for the better...

I believe anyone can carry around an UBER weapon in a full suit of twniked out armor... but it's the person behind the character that makes him/her great!

#REDACTED, Posted: Feb 09 2002 at 8:36 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Don't take this wrong, but IMHO, melee classes should not have "snare" effects on weapons. Stun, yes, shadowknight "engulfing darkness", yes, rogue "walking sleep", yes, but not snare. Rangers and Druids snare. I know this sounds petty, but it's pretty disheartening when you are allowed to be in the group just because you can snare (fellow rangers/druids know what I'm talking about). We lowlys have to have this to hold on to =)

Maybe we melees wouldn't need this if you druids and rangers knew how to manage aggro properly. I shouldnt direct this at just them, though, other classes have problems managing aggro too. This is an excellent warrior weapon not because of the fact that it snares the mob, since its easy to have a druid or ranger, etc, in group to snare he mob, the snare proc has a LOT of taunt to it, and can really help a warrior keep Aggro. I would love to have one of these, especially with the 4 ac and the 10-20 ratio, very nice.

ahem, last time I checked, Rangers ARE a melee class... We wouldn't get into a lot of groups without snare, so whatever gets my foot in the door is all good. Maybe if we got a huge boost in defensive skills to compensate for losing key spells like snare, I'd be for that, but otherwise I think it's invaluable to our class.

The thing with procs is you cannot control *when* it occurs so potentially it might break when the mob hits run mode or even not proc an entire battle.

******** and you know it. Stun = Clerics and Enchanters, plus Paladins. Darkness = Necro and SK. Walking Sleep = Shaman. So why should the classes you mentioned get spells they can't get, while you WHINE about other classes getting a snare? Please explain.

/rant on
I hate whiny Druids. Any class that can solo 4 exp giving mob at once has no right to complain about an effect on a weapon that drops in a 50+ zone.
/rant off

Notice which class CAN'T use it.
Beastlord.
I doubt we'll ever see a weapon with any form of Snare or Root. And I'm not going to complain about that. We don't really need it.
But it would be nice =) Just think of how dangerous we'd be if we could Snare or Root =)

look! we have a smart guy who can attack druids! guess waht else wizzys can quad kite too! didnt remember that did ya? didnt think so. who can solo from lvl 1-60? necros...oh, but that doesnt **** ya off. next time you try to complain about some druid complianing, remember that the other classes have advantages too, and they have disadvantages. remember this too. druids are basically useless after 30, cuz rangers can snare and sow, shammys can regen and sow, clerics and shammys can heal, and finally shammys have better str spell then druids. we have a very hard time finding groups after about lvl 40....and it gets even harder when you get into the 50s. even for evacs, wizzys are better cuz they deal out more dmg to the mob.

altho, druids are VERY usefull in RM, whn they kite 4 HG's at a time. those things are NOT worth the effort to kill for the exp they give,. and this way all the enterprising rogues can just go lift some spending cash off the giants. After all, druids don't need to buy things, they are able to kill ANYTHING for ANY DROP. right? ;)

I think the name comes from the Snare effect; breaks the mob's ankles, thus rendering it slow moving and unable to run away. :)

i think this item has alot to potential, not only having snare, bu with all the now adn before haste items, even teh low rank ones, this woudl become a decent not incredible uber equip off hadn weapon..snare, witha bonus fo attacking and such, slowing the mob and lettign you beat the hell off of it witha possible 10/10 weapon? i think this weapon gets a decent score in my book, and in any case, i think as soon as i get on tonight i might just go out and grab one myself, jsut to have it, seems rather nice, i can see it going for a 1k or more i think, snare is to nice a ability to get completly not blown out fo preportion...well anywway, my 2 cps

Sorry, Mr. 17 Cleric, but 1st of all, this thing will easily be going for 10kp, and second of all, why the hell would a cleric need it?! And Third of all, I doubt very highly that you are going to just be able to "go out and grab" one of these! Right now, there are probably about 4 of these on every Server, since Chardok is severely undercamped, and because this drops off a mob that is prolly 55+, which means not a lot of people are gonna be going deep enough to hunt him, unless they are raiding Chardok. Just so ya know. lol, 1kp, I wish. and 10/10? Doubtfull, since the highest Haste item in game is like 43%, and the highest Droppable haste item is 36% at most. Maybe if you have a chanter, but then of course any weapon would be good.
RE: potential
# Feb 10 2002 at 9:42 PM Rating: Default
You're kidding right? This weapon should be pushing 10-15k(depending on server economy).
