Amazing Kunark Loot
JackiePrice
Looking at preliminary loot findings (the easier to acquire stuff) I think
I'll reserve judgement...this stuff makes me drool.
(We were previously lamenting the lack of good 2h weapons for rangers. Look
again...)
2h Slashers:
Runic Carver: 18/37 (slightly better than GZ, easier to get, Warrior,
Paladin, Ranger, Shadowknight)
Swarmcaller: 29/41, effect: Tagar's Insects (Ranger only, WOW! Not
particularly hard to get either)
1h Slashers:
Sword Breaker: 9/20, AC10. Nodrop, magic. (Bard, Ranger, Rogue, Warrior,
again WOW! Rangers, can you say Briarzephwho?)
Bards take a look at:
Symphonic Saber: 11/23, +10 cha, +5 int, effect: Symphonic Harmony (whatever
that is). Sounds interesting.
1h Blunts:
Lots of crappy, but very light 1h blunt weapons good for monks to practice
with. Also, monks take note of the monk only
Master Wu's Trance Stick: 7/18, effect: Smite (I imagine this effect goes
off a lot at that delay, a great practice weapon too.)
Jade Mace: 9/18, wt 2.1 (Brd, Cle, Dru, Mnk, Pal, Rog, Shd, Shm, War) With
the magic number taken into account, this is better than whitened Treant
fists...
Peircing:
Iksar Phalange: 3/24, range 40 (unremarkable in every way, except that it
can be foraged???)
Sainey's Singing Dagger: 7/22, Effect: Symphonic Harmony (bard only...gotta
find out what that symphonic harmony is)
Viik's Dark Defender: 7/20, AC 10, Warrior Only
Locustlure: 8/17, effect: walking sleep. (Rogue Only --Wow again!)
Jade Chokidai Prod: 11/30, +3 sta, +6 wis, (Brd, Rng, Rog, Shd, Shm,
War--this one is going to be too popular to get...rogues and shamen fighting
over it...and maybe some others too)
Jarsath Trident: 11/22, +5 str/sta, -5 dex/agi. (warrior only...wow)
Howling Harpoon: 13/35, +6 wis, +40 mana (shaman only...wow again--why do I
think Karnor's Castle will be crowded?)
Armor Items:
Jarsath Scale Chestplate AC 20, +5 dex, +10 hp, wt 0.8, Clr, Pal, Shd, Shm,
War.
Tree Weave: AC 25, +10 Str, wt. 12
Brd, Clr, Dru, Mnk, Pal, Rng, Rog, Shd, Shm, War
Earring of Grachnist: AC 5, +2 str, +10 hp, all/all
Cobalt Boots: AC 25, effect: Strength of the Kunzar (+25 buff, unlimited
charges). Warrior only.
Gem Encrusted Ring: AC 10, +7 str. (random drop off any mountain giant)
Jarsath Scale Gauntlets: AC 10, +20 hp, +20 mana
Clr, Pal, Shd, Shm, War
Cobalt Gauntlets: AC 25, Effect: Reckless Strength (unlimited charges).
Warrior only.
(Next for you Shamen)
Jarsath Scale Helm: AC 10, +2 wis, +2 int, +6 magic
Clr, Pal, Shd, Shm, War
Okay, I'm impressed. Now I need my RoK CD...

Swarmcaller= insane. This is the best 2 hander in the game, BY FAR better
than FA. Actually, this makes FA look like Suckfire.

***Not*** lore, and, in the foreseeable future, not going to bards or, most
likely, rogues (who have plenty of drops elsewhere in the castle.) This
sucker is ranger/warrior only...and OMG, are warriors gonna love this.

Add a 10 31 trident that procs Ice Strike (don't know classes, sorry), and a
ton of other similar gear. There's a lot of weapons with lousy ratios and
great procs, even a 6 39 Ykesha.

Plus five magic, actually. It's also nodrop.
You also missed some nodrop 5 AC earrings off some Sarnak or other, a nice
healer GBS offhand equivalent (5 wis, 40 mana, something or other, nodrop),
and a set of AWESOME low level druid sleeves (AC 8, double-cast-time
unlimited charges Drones of Doom, *not* nodrop.)
But you haven't seen the REAL items yet. Let me clue you in:
Cleric chestplate from Karnak= (mind blowing spoiler ahead)

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
40 AC, double-cast-time Effect: Complete Heal.
(HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...)
Oh, and each class armor piece from Karnak has a (2x cast time) right click
effect. My bet on the warrior version of the chestpiece is 50-60 AC,
Effect:Avatar :)

'Easy to acquire' has to be taken in relative terms...CD or no, I can't
get this stuff.
It's still early. I have complete faith in Verant's ability to screw over
the fighters.

Yeah. AMAZING items in Kunark so far. After shit like Paw, I'm really
impressed.
(snip)
>Swarmcaller: 29/41, effect: Tagar's Insects (Ranger only, WOW!
>Not particularly hard to get either)
By far the most useful proc on any weapon in the entire game, period.
By FAR.
I mean, nothing even comes close. If it was a 9/18 one-handed
slasher, I'd be happy to see it as a Sky quest reward!
>1h Slashers:

>Sword Breaker: 9/20, AC10. Nodrop, magic. (Bard, Ranger, Rogue,

Again, an amazing weapon for the off-hand.

Nobody knows what that does... the spdat has no (decoded) info
either. Maybe it turns on the "instrument" flag for the bard?

It's MUCH better than whitened treant fists. There's no comparison. A
bit heavy for a monk, but I'm sure they'll make do. :)
(snip)
>Viik's Dark Defender: 7/20, AC 10, Warrior Only
Not as good as Sword Breaker, but badass nevertheless for heavy
tanks.
>Locustlure: 8/17, effect: walking sleep. (Rogue Only --Wow
>again!)
A great off-hand weapon for rogues.
>Jade Chokidai Prod: 11/30, +3 sta, +6 wis, (Brd, Rng, Rog, Shd,
>Shm, War--this one is going to be too popular to get...rogues and

Nobody but a rogue or a shaman should get this weapon.
>Jarsath Trident: 11/22, +5 str/sta, -5 dex/agi. (warrior

If I saw this one a week ago, I'd be drooling... now.... pffft. :)
>Howling Harpoon: 13/35, +6 wis, +40 mana (shaman only...wow
>again--why do I think Karnor's Castle will be crowded?)
Yep, real nice one!
>Armor Items:

>Jarsath Scale Chestplate AC 20, +5 dex, +10 hp, wt 0.8, Clr, Pal,
>Shd, Shm, War.
All of the jarsath scale items give steel plate or slightly better
than steel plate armorclass, look like chainmail, and give minor stat
bonuses. They're obviously meant for iksar to wear, but in some cases
(not this piece) they're decent for other races.
>Tree Weave: AC 25, +10 Str, wt. 12
>Brd, Clr, Dru, Mnk, Pal, Rng, Rog, Shd, Shm, War
Pity it's so heavy, monks can wear it. This is really a ranger and
rogue item.
>Earring of Grachnist: AC 5, +2 str, +10 hp, all/all
AC5 earring, that works. Nice.
>Cobalt Boots: AC 25, effect: Strength of the Kunzar (+25 buff,
>unlimited charges). Warrior only.
Yep, 25 strength for 36 minutes, nice item. Pity it can't be made to
proc when kicking.
>Gem Encrusted Ring: AC 10, +7 str. (random drop off any mountain
>giant)
Amazing item. Every tank should get one immediately. Pity it's lore.
>Jarsath Scale Gauntlets: AC 10, +20 hp, +20 mana
>Clr, Pal, Shd, Shm, War
These is really a shaman/cleric item, unless you're an iksar. One of
the better Jarsath pieces.
>Cobalt Gauntlets: AC 25, Effect: Reckless Strength (unlimited
>charges). Warrior only.
50 strength for three minutes, then your strength drops below normal.
Why bother, really? Strength doesn't do anything anyway.
>(Next for you Shamen)
>Jarsath Scale Helm: AC 10, +2 wis, +2 int, +6 magic
>Clr, Pal, Shd, Shm, War
This isn't a shaman item, shamen have an AC12 5wis helm in totemic.
It's a cleric item and a marginal one at that. We got three of em
last night.
Again, it's jarsath... mostly for iksar.
>Okay, I'm impressed. Now I need my RoK CD...
D'oh! :(

Caster items historically suck, since there really isn't much we
need. Wooo, another 20 mana and four wisdom, woohoo.
Compare that to a sword that procs FUCKING TAGARS INSECTS. That's
*AMAZINGLY GOOD*. AMAZINGLY.

Why not? Too low level? Power yourself up, it's easy enough to do.

Whatever man. You can't complain about these items and their current
drop rate.
I have no doubt that the drop rate will be severely nerfed in the
future, don't get me wrong... but for right now, the items are
AMAZING, and they're possible to get without months of work sitting
in one room staring at the wall.
And that's pretty good if you ask me.

What about this one though:
Polyphenomenal Axe- 37(!!!) damage, 48 delay, -10 to all saves. PAL SHD only.
Holy shit, no way is the loss of those saves going to stop anyone from using
this weapon, with a decent haste item this thing would be insane. I see a sudden
drop in interest in the Fiery Avenger.

War SK/All

Needless to say, Cleaver+Berserk+Megahit Discipline= one mob every 30

Awe inspiringly good. Tagar's is of ENOURMOUS benefit...and having it proc
on a weapon that would be good without the proc? Damn...

C'mon Sam, gimme a break. Dennis has been playing since day 1 and has
barely broken 30th level.

Damn, with all this stuff available even to those who did not buy the

No. I'm with you for one more day. Mine came yesterday, but I'm always at
work when UPS delivers... so I get to go pick it up today. But they'll
screw it up, and not hold it for me like they usually do I'm sure. So I

Oh great. Well anyone stubborn enough to still be playing a melee
class had better rush on over and grab some of this stuff while it's
still dropping.
Yes powergamers -- hurry up and grab your stuff before it's nerfed.
Hurry!
Knowing Verant, the better items will be moved to the Plane of Ungodly
Body Odor or someplace else where noone can get them as soon as a
"sufficient" number of power gamers have them.
Just like manastones. Just like rubicite. Just like the
mistwalker. Etc. Etc.
personally I can't be bothered.

We all know of the rare ass Ancient Cyclops in South rho whom drops
the Ring of the Ancients for the famed Jboots quest.
Wondering around this morning with my 35 Wiz I saw the AC from a
distance. When I got there, a Dwarf Paladin was already engaged
and had knocked off roughly 1/4 health. Since I don't care for Verant's
Play Nice policy especially for rare mobs such as this, I started Nuking
with my 34th level Ice shock which does a bit over 300 damage without
full resist. Mind you the Pally was already engaged and had a 1/4 life
head start on me. The Pally was level 44 by the way.
In the end I took his kill, and was overjoyed that I was finally able to get
the Ring of the Ancients.
It was sad that he was 10 levels ahead of me, had a 1/4 health head
start and I still took his kill.
So why play a Tank?
If Verant wants me to Play Nice, they better increase the spawn for
rare mobs such as this, because frankly I and many others will continue
to act as above.
Someone here is bound to call me an ass, but I don't play enough to
wait another month to see the AC again. Frankly I got lucky this
morning, hehe

I swear, they could give every class Ice Comet, and have Hate items
drop off decayed skellys, and people will *still* be pissy.
Christ, man. What's the point if you're never gonna be happy with the
game?

Yeah. I never use the charges on my steins either. Still carry them
around. :)

Yea, you are the worst kind of ass. Maybe the Paly doesn't play enough
to wait another month either? Lets see how long you last with that
kind of attitude when you get up in lvl's and start needing others to
save your sorry ass. Its to bad that pricks like you play this game,
your the kind of player that has forced the "play nice" policy on the

I won't call you an ass, you are a fucking prick.
I dearly hope that the paladin reported and petitioned you and you get the
boots stripped from you...AFTER you've give over the ring/rapier/gold.
And given to him.

Well, the only good druid-only item I know of is the Elder
Spiritualist Vambrace. Unlimit charge of Drones of Doom--right click
to trigger it. Now before you go ape shit over this one:
1. You have to wear it to activate it.
2. It has an approximately 9 second casting time (so kiting with this
is not and option).
3. You have to be standing still to cast it--ie., if you're moving,
it interrupts.
4. It doesn't work for anyone less than level 34.
Oh yeah, it's got an AC 8.
There's also a +3 WIS totem that fits in your range slot...

Actually, you can.
These items are rare drops off common "lawn trash" mobs. Of course,
said trash happens to be level 45+....but a solid group can take them
easily.

Ringing Mace of Ykesha:
One handed Blunt, 10/22, procs the same effect as SSoY. Imagine two
of these + CoF or RBB.
There are a lot more melee equipment dropping than caster equipment so
far. And given the "trash" drops that I've seen, the good drops ought
to be pretty damn insane...of course, if you intend on taking on the
"Boss" mob in Karnor, you're gonna need all the help you can get...

Screw that. I want it for my druid. Druids have crap for armor--the
best we have is Verm Tunic at AC15 or that Gold Efreeti BP which we
have to kill Djorn for.
Hey, look at the name man. It has "tree hugger" written all over it.

I think you'll see these things continue to drop for a long time. The
reason is that these items aren't all that impressive given the mobs
you'll eventually face.
Our guild had the first taste of what's likely to be faced in the
upcoming levels. I can honestly say, a lot of the items found so far
are not even remotely overpowered compared to the mobs you're gonna
take on.
Our guild tried the boss of Karnor--it was a very humbling
experience...
And from what I understand Karnor isn't even the toughest dungeon.
The entry trash in Karnor are "only" 45 or so. There's another
dungeon in the Burning Woods where the entry trash are conning yellow
to a level 51 (gonna go look see tonight. :-)
Kinda makes Fear/Hate look like a walk in the park...

So, you're saying that his behavior was not inconsiderate because
it was profitable for him? Sounds like you're a clueless asshole.

Yes. We also know, since kindergarten, that those at the head of the line get
whatever it is they're in line for before those behind them. Of course, like
kindergarten, there are still the dipshits who haven't learned to quit playing
with themselves in public and eating their own snot who won't abide by this
rule of civilization.

You god-damned freelance socialist. You KS, a rare mob, that some poor fighter
had already engaged, then dare to come HERE to brag about it? No wonder you
didn't post your name/server either. Good luck getting past level 40 you
scumbag. Once you reach a certain point in the game, those with no social
skills and the intelligence and respect for others of children become unable to
continue unless they play a druid, necro, mage, or shaman. I see you play a
wizard.

Verant needs do nothing. You will find your progress up the EQ ladder stunted
by your own idiocy, greed, and lack of respect for others. I hope that dwarf
pally got your name and is in a big, strong guild. KSing assholes like you are
what gives us friendly casters a bad name. Here's hoping you get hit by a
truck.

You see, even you, in the dim dark recesses of what passes for your brain,
realize you're an ass. Imagine then how much more we who aren't nearly so
handicapped realize it.

A clueless asshole need find only one other clueless asshole to feel validated.
Suddenly he is no longer the drooling imbecile he uneasily suspects himself to
be, but a member of a COMMUNITY. And he has a friend, someone to go to
wrestling matches and Jerry Springer tapings with.
It's touching, really. I'm all choked up.

it is a great PC for people with borderline personality disorders. In other

with him. Not like wizard is a very "in demand" class for groups anyway.
