Quest Issue: Gnoll Slayer

[Danth]

I've posted the same as well, but it fell off out of sight. The 15/40 gnoll slayer is not a classic item and instead dates from the Luclin-era revamp of the quest line.

In other situations where there is no 99-01 proof, but enough to show that chances are its not, that item / mob / spell, whatever, was removed or adjusted.

There is more then enough here to show that it is not classic, can we please at least get a dev reply on the situation?

Some quotes from various threads on the Alla items section:

they say there is another part to this quest to add on so the sword gets better stats and also summons a wolf as the effect

This is listed in the database a LORE MAGIC; as you can see from the pic, it is not magical. I can verify this, as I have Gnoll Slayer myself.

Now, if they'd just implement the rest of the quest... <sigh>

*NOTE* The effect of Gnoll Slayer doubles the swords damage to any Gnoll.. thus making it 12dmg 28dly.

No I do not have any pics. Because I do not have it. (Still trying to get Elgnub to spawn). But it is proven. IT DOES NOT SUMMON A WOLF PET!!!!

This quest and item was upgraded with Luclin.
It�s now magic and have Bane DMG to Gnolls.

I have the completed version of the Gnoll Slayer on Eci as of June 14, 2002. I am the first person on Eci with it, not sure about the rest of the servers. The stats are as follows...

Gnoll Slayer
Slot PRIMARY SECONDARY
MAGIC ITEM, LORE ITEM, NODROP
(2) Charges
15 Damage 40 Delay
10 Bane Damage Vs. Gnolls
+25 SV POISON
Effect:Companion Spirit

(also a nice bright light source)

There is evidence that the original version is 6/28.

Awesome, thanks for digging that up Ikeren, say bye to your OP sword melees!

Bump, any staff reply?

[nilbog]

It's only been 2 days :P

Pending update:
-Removed the additional quest text from Marton.
-Changed uber Gnoll Slayer to the 6/28 Gnoll Slayer with no bane dmg.

Need more evidence before taking away the magic tag.

Good find though, let me know what all needs to happen here.
