Looking for lowbie SK 2h suggestions?

[Ifaerl]

I am new to classic EQ. I'm just wondering if anybody can give me suggestions as to what might be a decent cost efficient 2h for a level 9 Shadowknight?

[Rhambuk]

dark reaver shouldn't be too expensive.

green jade halberd

Nathsar greatsword.

GJH or Deathbringer's Rod. Halberd was 2.5-3k last I checked, Rod was 800ish? Might be able to pick up for 600.

He is new and you recommend a 3k weapon...

Nathsar Greatsword is cheap, and under L20 it's pretty much the most effective 2hs you'll find.

Actually, I just priced it since someone else already recommended it. My go-to weapon would be a DBR, 800pp is not hard to save up and its a fantastic ratio.

[Ifaerl]

Thanks for the replies! Gonna save a bit more and then I will keep a lookout for the DBR/Nathsar Greatsword. The Green Jade Halberd definitely sounds a bit out of my price range. I appreciate all the suggestions though.

If you hang out in Nektulos when a guild is killing generals, you might be able to get your hands on ye olde darkie katana for free until you can afford something better

Nathsar greatsword. <--- solid for the price.

Axe of the Iron Back; I give them for free to n00bs (and if you have to buy one they're like 25 plat) and they beat the heck out of a rusty weapon.

Whatever you end up getting, try to find something low delay. At level 9 your damage is capped at 20. So a 10 damage weapon (damage is basically weapon dmg x 2) will do the same as a 20 damage weapon. Even from level 10-19 you are capped at 28 damage. No point in getting a higher than 14 dmg weapon.

It's hard to justify using a two hander before level 20 and as a Paladin/SK we don't get double attack until level 20, same level as the new damage cap of 60. You are better off getting a good 1 hander with shield to bash until you hit 20.

Deathbringers Rod is a 14/40 weapon at level 19
to a 30/40 weapon with a chance to double attack at level 20
Thats a pretty huge jump in dps for gaining one level.



Game Mechanics section of this site:
levels 1-9 - damage cap is 20
levels 10-19 - damage cap is 28
Levels 20-29 - damage cap is 60
