Research confirms. Apparently it was larger than GIANT as well, just wouldn't fit in bags.

The Wurmslayer is now a one-handed slashing weapon.

The Wurmslayer will now fit in a bag.

it was definitely dual wieldable at launch until later nerfed to primary only.

Yeah it didn't fit into bags, I remember that.

I used mine as a secondary with a Jarsath Trident. By the time they nerfed the offhand use I believe I had other weapons so I don't remember when that was exactly.

I went under quests for Firiona Vie and just tabbed the dates till "Dragon Scales" is updated with the Wurmslayer.

So thats the pre nerfed one. At least you have the date that it was nerfed to tell you how long it was in from Kunark Open to Nerf bat time!

Ranger named Covergent on beta was using a Wurmslayer. Dunno his forum name, though.

k so Wurmslayer will be..

-dual wieldable
-non lore
-range slottable
-larger than giant item



When paladins were using this item in Kunark as a piercing weapon, how was their skill determined?

EQ later added piercing as a paladin skill in Velious era, I believe it was.

I remember I owned one.. but I do not remember if a piercing skill ever increased, or if it used 1hs, yet displayed piercing.

Just to confirm, wurmslayer not in? :)

Why, did you try the quest? It was all working on beta.

Lord Lyfyx from solro temple did not drop scale after killing him. (One way)

Tektite does not give Tektite-gem for scale quest in Solro temple after handing him two carn gems. (Another way)

Only option left is to kill tektite, which I haven't done. (last way)

Tektite gave me the Tektite for carnelians when I did it. Would try again and try to figure out if you handed in wrong somehow. Dunno why it would have been changed, seems one should still be able to get it from him.

Nobody tested the first method, so seems that needs to be fixed.
