How often does a Sword of Pain rot in Velks?

A plain rusty dagger that a level 1 decaying skeleton would drop. Pretty much the dumbest looking weapon for a sk.

Yup. It is a very tragic item. Great ratio for a droppable weapon (and affordable), but terrible to look at.

I dislike Eye of the Rigtorgn even more than Shard of Night. At least a dagger is a weapon and kind of tolerable if perceived as a back-up weapon to a main 2H. Wouldn't want one as a primary or my only weapon though! The Eye looks like the player's trying to beat things to death with a glowing sno-cone. Yuck!

If you want a normal European-style sword graphic, you want Sword of Pain, Massive Dragonclaw Shard, or a forged/exquisite/etc Velium Claidhmore. Even Reaver looks kind of funky. Mace of the Shadowed Soul uses the old world morning star graphic, while I believe Ebon Mace uses the mace graphic. They're both alright for blunt weapons.

All 1h’s are marginal compared to quality 2h’s these days, so far as dps.

I’d get an ebon mace for 1k or a noc for 600. Shard of night is expensive, hard to sell, and looks weird. Best thing is leveling up piercing so you can use a carved dragonbone, velium lance, or Narandi without having to grind it up.

Lower dogs group pull that mob all the time. The pally sword is a bit deeper in. It’s still a pain to get a lowbie there and get it back out in one piece.

Shiny brass halberd wud b the most technically superior battlefield weapon of war tho.

V pokey. Longer reach than a sword. Good in numbers vs calvary. Maybe u want a hammer for the knights in armor.

Noc blade Good for culling peasants tho.

Noc blade ratio is trash. Get a reaver and avoid undead, but if you do need to kill undead then at least get an ebon mace.

Why do you say "avoid undead"?

[Trexller]

run your level 5 sk to velks, camp him out at the drop down then, form up a group to camp L dogs?

ench and cleric can duo it, or take a full 6 man group down for some ice dungeon crawl nostalgia. make it all about just the fun of playing the game.

iirc sword of pain isn't a rare drop, and gregendek icepaw is easy to get to.

you'll get a sword of pain ez pz

Reaver isn't a Magic item.

Synergises well with druids an enchanters (wolf forms).

Easiest way out is in a coffin (well, corpse drag thru walls).
