Why are Dark Reavers so rare?

[RipVanFish]

Literally impossible to find these things for sale. There are only two entries on the auction tracker as well.

Aside from fashion quest (and let’s be honest, fashion quest rocks), the Gigantic Zweihander is better right?

What about the Mith Two Hander? Is Dark Reaver + FBSS comparable to Mithril Two Hander and Thick Banded Belt?

[The]

Dark Reaver is the de facto SK weapon aside from a mith 2hander until raid content. The ratio is only slightly better than a Gigantic Zweihander, but they're both not exactly common. On top of that, the Reaver effect stacks with siphon strength, so a SK can get almost 40 points of str between the two.

The mith 2hander is better hands down, but it's also really out of reach for most people. A reaver is more feasible to obtain, although it seems to be super rare at the moment. I paid way too much for mine, but I like the effect so much I don't want to let it go despite upgrading it already.

[Graventhel]

I'm gunning for the Mith 2hander and TBB all the way. I was tempted to save for the Reaver, and as a DE str is totally an issue, but a GZ came along and I think I will be happy until I can pull off my planned upgrade.

I was unaware though that the str proc from the Reaver stacked with the spell.

I had 4-5 and gave a few away as impossible to sell.

And lol at comparing it to mith 2h.

You’re telling me you had five Reavers, couldn’t sell them for anything and had to give them away on Green?

Trolling?

I have 2 for sell on Teal:)

[DMN]

Good luck with mith, too, heh. The king room is bugged as hell and stuff keeps falling through the floor and isnt repopped until GM gets around to it. And between the 3 people/groups camping king this last week got about 45 hours between them and not a single mith.

Yea Teal I can believe not being able to sell these. For whatever reason Teal’s economy seems like a graveyard. It’s only a few hundred players less at most than Green so I don’t get why.

More people out there playing the game rather than playing the tunnel.

I guess you could say it's a Myth-ril 2hander?

Dark reaver is about as good as it gets unless you go way higher end. I got overall 2nd Dark Reaver (missed 1st by hours!), but it seems to me that quite a few have dropped since. Every SK main (lvl 30+ at least...) that I know (on Teal) has a Dark Reaver now... I would guess M2H and Skarlon are entering the market faster than serious SKs are being created/leveled, and that the Dark Reavers being replaced are trickling down and/or being sold.

M2H is approximately the same Skarlon +FBSS, although you will bash a little faster with the M2H. Those are about tied... but Skarlon + dragon haste (or at the very top end, 41% once Sky hits) are the best available.

[Bazia]

every sk above level 20 on teal has one as far as ive seen, not rare at all

[RipVanFish]

I know that most sk players mid level or higher have one, I’m mainly just referring to the rarity of seeing these for sale. Not a one on the forums for sale, never see them in ec tunnel, and a grand total of two entries on the green auction tracked.

Can attest to Zweihander not being common. Been looking for Karg all week. Killed him 4 times, 4 cloaks so far. My ranjah needs to upgrade his BBC already!

Not sure if you're green or Teal, but on Teal there are more than 2. https://unixgeek.com/prices-P1999Teal-ADarkReaver.html The official wiki tracker lags by a few days after data is uploaded.

Wow 2k.

Its weird I never had such a problem on blue. I made the characters I wanted and it all worked good. Now in balancing stuff I didnt make on blue but might want lol

I invested in a pile of forged 2h swords on day 2, then got SBH pretty quickly. SBH very cheap, I think I paid 30pp and AFAIK that’s still a reasonable price.

FYI, in terms of absolute benefits, DE and troll are both terrible. DE stats are garbage, only benefit is Ring of the Dead you can use forever with 10g recharge. Troll has regen, but meditate+lifetap is radically more hp and dwarfs regen, although in that rare situation where you’re stranded, FD and low hp, it’ll help get you stable sooner. If you’re picking for fun/fashion/rp reasons, go have fun :D
