Whip of the Earthcrafter  

 

If I recall correctly if you give the proced pet a weapon it makes the pet permanent, I like to give it the super fast whips the gnolls drop in Karanas.

i spent 4 hours today in PoE with a very good grp.. camped for the prismatic basilisks, not 1 whip dropped. im trying to think why.. but i was dissapointed, i dont get grps in PoE very often at all, i probly wont ever get this whip..

I just received this whip tonight. Prismatic Basilisk spawned twice in 2 hours (red con BTW), dropped caster mask first time and whip second time. VERY,VERY nice weapon. It procs a wolf pet that says "Trixxy's Pet" above it, doubles for 52-90, and despawns after about 5 seconds. BUT, it also multi spawns, and I have had many instances with 2 pets up at the same time.

I just won this on my 56 ranger, Secondary Assist on Brell. It procs quite a bit at 56, unlike what a user before me posted saying it procced at 62.

First off you should know that this item is anything BUT common. It requires A) The server to have been reset B) You to be the lucky ranger to spawn the mobs trap. C) To be able to kill the mob. and then D) This is a very rare drop even when you do kill him.

So basically there is a 1/10 chance on a server up for this mob to spawn, and drop the whip... Better luck on the IHB if you're at this stage in the game.

What does this weapon look like wielded? Does it look like a normal old whip or does it have some sort of unique graphic? Thanks.

This is a pretty nice weapon. There is alot of other weapons id use beforehand, i.e. Render of souls, AHB, but the proc on this is sweet. Its pretty much a toy imo, but a fun one. And the reason we play is to have fun. I use BBB off of seru as 2handers is the way to go on a Zek, but this would be fun to greif greenies with.I cant wait to get to PoE, if ever.

Tal,

can anyone tell me where from the front entrance is the trap? and is the prismatic basalisk one groupable?

Anyone have a Pic of the swarm pet they can put up for our viewing pleasure?

Thats what I was told what drops this weapon. a random mob from the trap close to zone in and extremely rare and the worst part is it doesnt drop it everytime it can also drop some wizard thing i was told. If anyone has other information on what drops this or a site that has the mob listed or even a person who has this weapon please post what drops it. I been XPing non stop in PoE and have yet to even see this

This be a great offhander for a ranger or main hander depending on your weapons. A weapon that summons a pet like the Old Vox scimitar is ownage. Since a ranger using this will more than likely be behind the mob the pet wont get killed by riposte. Only thing i can see bad with this weapon is a mob like shei where a player or pet dies creats an Add. other than that I think this a real nice weapon a muct have for all rangers. As it being to fast and getting agro are you a KOOK. a fast weapon alone wont over agro a Blade of War or a warrior using a BoC/BF or other like EB combo, not to mention AE taunt cha buffs SK hate buff and his taunting ETC ETC ETC. I use a 19 del and 20 del weapon and I only out agro weak non EB equipped tanks in XP groups. Besides there are 3 jolt line spells i can use as well. Now onto some other buisness.

My main is a ranger, and yes AM3 EQ gives a ranger uneaqual DPS with very low agro. However in XP groups I prefer to melee because on raids i spend all my time shooting arrows unless the mob is walled, adds in camp mezzed, cant get good LoS, space doesnt allow it. For rangers who abandoned the path of a ranger and became archers even in XP groups at times find themselves constantly moving about trying to find the spot to shoot and hit the mob. They either dont hit the mob or get wall agro and cause trains. So a true ranger knows when archery is useless and melee is best.

Dont forget archery for rangers was an alternate form of damage was never meant for primary means. Just with very little advances for melee classes to keep up in DPS in comparasion to casters rangers use AM3 to gain the DPS values needed for PoP. If and when SOE makes changes and allows melee classes to do more damage in melee up close and personal combat ,AM3 is the best DPS a ranger can obtain until then.

However a ranger still needs to keep close combat weapons up to date as well cause sometimes archery isnt possible. Any ranger of my calibre of play knows this for fact and most are old timers like me that still like to get up close and personal to mobs and use DD spells and play rangers to the full extent of the class and have a lot of fun doing it too.

AM3 has created one MAJOR flaw and that is it gave weak under-skilled rangers a shroud to hide their total ignorance of the class and actually give rangers a bad name. Before PoP/late Luclin all the high level rangers i seen was very adequate at the class and had skilled players. Now I have seen far to many terrible rangers being played by people who just cant play the class beyond shooting a bow and casting buffs. I wish all rangers that fall into that category quit EQ E-bay or change classes.

Geeze people stop with the "way too fast for the non-agro ranger" I use a Swiftwind in the offhand, and a 17dly, 11dmg weapon and rarely, I mean extremely rarely get agro where I have to use jolt. I am only lvl 57 but I do know that fast has nothing to do with it, it is how well the Ranger controls his agro. A Ranger able to get this weapon knows how to do just that or he/she never woulda made it this far, Plain and simple. If this weapon scares you because of agro I know I'll never have to worry about hoping I have more DKP points than you on that riad because you will never make it this far.

LOL, that last post was a little harsh, perhaps, but by the level you get this, you're not meleeing in groups, you're shooting arrows from a distance of 400+. But, when you are in groups where you can melee, or soloing, this is not too fast, it's deadly to the mob. If agro is a problem, put the jolting blades proc on and since it's so fast, that will proc even more often. Duh.

Man, some people. Can't make them happy. I would LOVE to get this weapon!

BTW, it has a recommended level of 62 and procs at 62. Reports of up to three swarm pets (wolves) up at a time are common. Three wolves attacking at a time while you're swinging = great DPS. So yes, Jolting Blades may be necessary. So what!
