So I decided to start a new character, a rogue. I should have realized earlier, but I certainly realize now, that there just aren't that many good "twink" weapons in the game anymore. Both the greatsword and the blade were selling on Fenin Ro for 8K each, which struck me as too much for a "common" drop in a 50s zone. I got my lvl 81 ranger (with healer mercenary) to Grimling Forest by catching a port from a druid; I do not know if there is another easy way to do so. From Grimling Forest, it is an easy run to Acrylia Caverns (to the west and a bit north). It was relatively easy to find my way through the tunnels to the blood room, where it was trivial to clear the room. Of course, skeletons in the outer room (and elsewhere in the zone) can see through camo/invis (but not, presumably invis to the undead). Not that it matters much, just takes a bit longer to clear them out of the way. Everything in the zone is on a 30 minute timer. After clearing that room, I went to the room on the right, clicked on the statue, and cleared the inner sanctum. Clearing that room was even easier. In a "jail" on the opposite side of the podium room (inner sanctum) is a spiked box. Clicking on it brings you back to Grimling Forest, just outside of the Acrylia Caverns Zone. So, the whole cycle would repeat: clear one room, run to the next, zone out, run back in. Would take about 12 minutes total, then wait the rest of the time to see if the mobs spawned. All told, I cleared each room 5 times. The blood priest never spawned; the archanist spawned twice. Once he dropped the great sword, once he dropped the blade. My ranger is now very happy.
This Sword id wat to easy to obtain to pay 8k for it Drops of (A Grimling Bloodpriest) in Acrylia Caverns U must invis to make ur way to the mob then stop when u see the skele's they have see invis wax the floor with them and make ur way into a room with a statue that looks like khati the twisted He should pop in there i soloed my way and killed him with a 65 Ranger Good luck thats all the hints i will give =)

Ive farmed the Arcanist before, and ive gotten the 1hs to drop today tallon crashed for some reason so I decided to scout around at what named are up I poped in here and I saw A Grimmling Bloodpriest up yes Bloodpriest, he was in the large room before the click statue to inner AC, he dropped this Greatsword, Legend of Lies, and some random runes.... im kinda confused cause this mob isnt suppose to drop the greatsword nor is the mob even listed on allakh, anyone else had this happen?
I met the king of all newbs today on Cazic Thule server. His name was Sexyguy. There was someone in bazaar /auctioning this for 4.5k and sexyguy auctioned one for 3k. I noticed he had it on trader so I ran over and bought it (it was the only item on his trader).
He then sends me a tell "it was a jock stupd" and then "a joke". I said "ehh?"
Then he says he was just auction it so cheap to get the other guy to lower his price so he could buy another sword. I just said thanks for the great deal, guess you shouldn't have been trying to burn that other guy like that. And then got all kinds of tells for this guy over the next 10 mins ofcourse.
And then for fun I told him he could come buy it back off my trader and jacked it up to 6k. I removed it a few mins later and told him "doh, already sold it, sorry".
ok i bought this for my new shadow knight. can i just say OWN MOBS with this baby. i been swinging for average 60's with a high of 81. with the doubles and with embrace procing like mab now, i am a FEARSOME Crusader. now i just need to get greenmist and i will be totally uber.
Word ont he street is this weapon will be Berserker useable, im definetly gona buy one when GoD comes out for my Berserker. COnsidering it is one of the better 2hs out there that dont have a required, or recomended levle slpaed on them.

If vanity didn't play any part in the game then they never would have introduced dye for changing armor. That being said, give me the better weapon over a pretty one anyday. eck, it can look like I am pushing a mop bucket for all I care, as long as it helps me out in the long run.

Posted:Aug 27 2003 at 11:36 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) They changed the Graphic on this thing. Now it looks gimped like a Broads sword. Wide hild large base then straight edge to a v point. Stupid looks compaired to the old on in the pickture. I got this sword in the bazaar cuz of the stats but the new look is so bad that i may look for another sword. When SOE changes crap without letting us know thats what pisses me off. Any way. I hope i was just buged and it will be back to normal when i log in tonight. But if not i'll take a SS and send it in.
So? It used to look nicer than it does now... does that qualify as a nerf? If the lack of a 'poser' market drops the price of this nice weapon, than it's much better for the pure fighters. Hell, go ahead and change it to look like a rusty short sword, I'll still buy it if it has the best stats for the price.
Yeah now it looks like the widebladed greatsword and the greatsword of shadows. I really appreciated its unique look, so I also hope they change the graphic back. I sent a bug report as soon as I saw the change.
Kinda funny too; on the Rathe server there was usually one or two for sale. After they changed the graphics there were no less than six up in Bazaar, and *cheap*. It's really unfortunate that they decided to change this on us because it really was a nice-looking sword. =\
Does this sword even exist? I've spent 2 days in acrylia killing PHs in the blood room, throne room, room above throne room, and the one downstairs from inner port in and have had 0 spawns. Its getting rather ridiculous. Does anyone know if you have to clear the entire rooms for him to spawn?
Arcanist spawns in the middle of the room on the metal thingy :)....I never really looked at what it is, but just past the room is where the KoS kitty is in the pit / jail.
Woot, i got this sword the other day, I'm a 34 Troll SK and I was using a centi SS, while I was advertising I was buying a new weapon across the serveral zones and I went through, (and the market channel) I ended up in The Overthere, I saw a dwarf and I invited him into group, he said he needed to log, but he had this sword, he said it was mine for 1k !!!! Although my skill in 2hs is only like 116 atm, I can max it in the next few levels, my best double attack so far was 119 / 112 very nice I thought at level 34, this usuwally goes for around 4k, its gonna be awhile before I replace this one :)
Actually, it drops off of the grimling bloodpriest that is a rare spawn in the lava room AND the grimling arcanist that spawns in inner acrylia. They share the same loot tables for now, with the bloodpriest being much easier to kill, but also a much more rare spawn.
Looks like the rallos Blade of War appearence wise, except for the blade's handle has 4 spikes going around it, it's very cool looking.
I paid 11k on maelin starpyre for one to give you an idea, you could get a reaver for less, but this looks much cooler so who cares about 4 extra damaage =p
Looks like this update we're digging through is full of items added/fixed in the revamping of Hollowshade, Grimling Forest and Acrylia Caverns... I noticed a new acrylia_chr.s3d in the patch yesterday, so it would appear there are new mobs and such going on in Acrylia at least.
Anyone have any information on the one who supposedly drops this? Beastiary has nothing.. What level is it.. Required forces to drop 'em.. any other known loot.. difficulty to reach.. the standard stuff.
killed him last night in revamped acrylia heres how to get to him:
From zone take the tunnel to the ruined city area thru the gate. Hug left wall past the 6 or so undead into large room with lava. Go in the door on the right. Click the small statue in this room, this transports you to Inner Acrylia. The arcanist spawns downstairs from where you port into, in the room just before the one with the sunken pit containing the evil Vah'Shir. Arcanist or PH spawns right in the middle of the room sitting on a cauldron thingy.
Other Ph's I found were on the throne in a large room with a door in the floor (I couldnt open the floor) and there was a PH up in the room with the sacrificial cauldron in the far back. Also you can click one of the tapestries in the sac cauldron room and it ports you out to grimling woods.
PS I tanked the arcanist half the fight and got hit for 160ish at the most. then my brother got aggro and said he got meleed for 400. But he's a necro type mob and spent most of the fight casting. Went down easy to bard/necro duo. I'd put his level right around 56-57. All the other grimlings in inner are 52-55, most all are casters necro/shaman.
