Question about Ghoulbane
 

Hi, Just started on this server and I'm having a blast but I have a question about the Ghoulbane.

Is it a quest on this server or a drop, also how much would one go for if I see someone selling one.


Thank you!

uguk shin lord drop, no quest.. They are 800ish plat I think

Thanks!

Is EC the trade hub here I didn't see much in Gfay I may head to free port when I get higher and see what's up.

800 is on the high side. I bought my Paladin one months ago for 500 and that was
probably a bit high. I know someone who bought one for 375 so the price
varies as with all items

I agree about 800 being high side. I've been here for two years and bought my first one for 600... and realistically... I still see it fetch about 600p. I agree with Heavydrop that it varies, but I swear I've begun to think about the Ghoulbane as a unit of currency equivalent to 600p.

Now if I had one to sell, I'd let it go for 500, any less... I'd keep it for fun runs through lower level undead holocausts =)

Yes, EC is the trading zone.

As a rule I don't advise buying a Ghoulbane on P1999 unless you need it for your epic or want one for nostalgia value. Paladin-class gear economics being what it is, you can buy fairly good 2-hand weapons like a Blade of Xalgoz or a Nathsar Greatsword for 100-200PP. For 1H, you can buy a Sword of the Morning for as little as 1K and be set all the way to 60. Any of these weapons will give better service than the Ghoulbane will.

I am inclined to agree. I have a 15 paladin equipped with a GB. It doesn't proc until 20 and I've seen young paladins swing and swing it and not have it proc. Afterward I advised them to boost their dex.
My same paladin equipped with a green jade broadsword (which I yanked for 50 plat from some seller) has been much more effective.
The GB is nice and nice looking but terribly slow

Seen Baton of Faith (pal/mnk 30/40 2hb) selling for 150 to 300 pp for months on end. Don't waste pp on Blade of Xalgoz. Nathsar Greatsword is ok for skilling 2hs due to low delay (also great for sub-level 20s as it suffers far less from the silly damage cap that makes so many 2h weapons vendor trash, just as they were on live.) Too much loot floating around this server for the pop, lotta 2h weapons that saw a fair bit of use live are trash here.

The only 2HS worth having is Soulfire, Fiery Avenger, and Fiery Defender. Soulfire can be quested by L10 if you can get someone to kill Lucan for you. The rest is a few invis pots and a fish-killing mule in Qeynos. I love having a flaming sword on my L12 paladin.
