The Falchion (of the Koada'Vie)
Hey so I finished this quest a couple weeks ago. And the Weapon has the wrong graphic. I clearly remember what it looked like (as far back as 2001) (except for the colour of the gem in the hilt).
I will point you to these links. http://wiki.project1999.com/The_Falchion http://wiki.project1999.com/Falchion_of_the_Koada%27Vie Indeed it doesn't have the best stats, but the Quest was worth doing because of how cool the sword looked. You guys have the Gnoll Slayer graphic being used for this sword. Which actually looked like the "Darkmetal Falchion" - though the gem may have been a different colour. http://wiki.project1999.com/images/D...alFalchion.jpg I give you this link / comment on Allakhazams as proof. Wish I had an old screenshot but that was a long time ago (I remember it was a nice looking newbie sword though, nice to show off until I could get a nicer one). http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/i...98323053541857 Here is the comment in that last link if you don't want to have to follow the link. High Elf quest item Quote Reply # Feb 26 2001 at 6:35 PM Rating: Decent Anonymous Anonymous FYI, This is a result of a pretty much worthless series of quests. You have to get 3 No-Drop Lore items in order to receive this sword. Kill Dvinn in Crushbone to receive his BLACK HEART. Kill the Prophet in Crushbone to receive "BLUE ORC HEAD". Lastly, you have to travel over to the Ocean of tears, Kill a Named Orge that spawns at 5AM every morning (Siren Island) and loot the "SHIPPING CRATE" (warning, its really heavy at something like 15-20 pounds). Bring all 3 of these items to the HighElf city of Felwithe to the Paladin guild leader in the basement. Give them to Lord Jya(something) to recieve this sword. My Opinion, this sword sucks compared to the level at which you have to recieve it. The only reason I would get it is to raise your 1HS skill up. Its really fast but doesn't do much damage to something like the Goulbane (which you should be questing for right around the level your able to recieve this item) Also note: The weapon looks REALLY Cool compared too normal falchions. Maybe thats a reason to go get it. =) I really hope you guys fix it. I spent quite a bit of time doing that quest expecting to get my cool looking Falchion of the Koada'Vie + all the plat I spent travelling and on raising faction.... I am sure if you look through the models/textures you will find I am right! Remember it was either a red or green gem in the hilt, I remember because I always wanted to get the better higher lvl sword with the opposite colour to add to the collection. I am sure there must be another Paladin out there somewhere that remembers too! There must be! Anyway thanks again if you read this, the peeps on Discord said this is where I have to report bugs so.... I'll check back next weekend. | ||

Hmm interesting. It for sure was NOT a shortsword.
If I go on the Live EQ and level up and do the quest and get it and take a pic I imagine it'll be the same graphic. Even after all these years. If I do that and take a pic will u believe me? There is also this I found. I am not sure why I can't find a picture (other than most people didn't do the quest I imagine except for to get a cool looking sword. I remember so clearly because I was a kid/early teen and my relative had got me the game. I wanted a cool looking weapon (cause all the longswords and shortswords looked crappy) So they made me lvl up and farm pelts to get some basic armor and then brought me from Qeynos to Faydwer and brought me on that quest as well as Ghoulbane haha. Anyway. It's why I remember so clearly. Are there ANY other Falchions that look like the Darkmetal one? Except with a Red Gem in the hilt? I don't think so. But I bet you'll find the model/texture in the files - and that's the one for the Falchion of the Koada'Vie (also I don't think the weaved runes were Golden like the Darkmetal Falchion - just grey/silver) (And I know what I had wasn't a darkmetal falchion because I was only between lvl 17-22 when I was doing the quest on live back in 2001. Anyway here is the other post (they are rare) I could find on it. I promise you though it defintely didn't look like a normal sword, or the wide bladed sword that's there now. http://www.eqclassic.org/forums/view...7ee9e&start=25 Quote:
