First off as everyne may know weapons with a lower delay have a higher chance to proc. Since SK's get spells that proc nicely (though not often) this blade increases the chance this will proc in 3 ways: 1) Lower delay giving extra hits 2) The dex on it 3) With lower delay more checks vs. double attack are made. Now weather or not this is worth the 5.5K extra plat is up to you.
Got it before it was removed, it was easier to get than a moss or noct and pretty much better:
Long Sword of Ethereal Energy: Dmg 16, Dly 29. Wt 2.00. +15 AC, -5 Str, -5 Sta, +12 Dex, +10 vsMg, LORE MAGIC Classes: Ra P Sk B Ro Wr. All Races. Found via this quest.
29 spd 16 dam 1.812, but if the 5 magic dam takes is 29 spd 21 dam. 1.380 vs 26 spd 18 dam 1.444 noct (lower is better)
You still have adequate dex (pretty meaningless for procing anyway, which is itself pretty meaningless) and plus 10 magic res. Most of all though you get 15 ac on a weapon which is one hand (kick butt!) so you can still use a high ac shield too.
my 36 troll sk loves it. The minus 5 str and sta is pretty moot for an ogre or troll.
I am not sure of this and I cannot prove anything yet but.. when I summoned my pet with Moss equipped it gave me one size of Pet .. now with the blade I seem to be castingBarbarian size pets.. it could be me but it is a possibility. I will post back after I test this.
Go to Velketors Labyrinth in Greater Divide. Theres a shadow knight only sword called "sword of pain" thats 1hs and no drop. stats are 19/25 1hs 50mana right click grim aura... rots all the time, my friend got his lvl 3 shadow knight one easily.

Posted:Jan 06 2002 at 2:26 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) got one for 2k today on quellious server!! been told its worth closer to 8k or maybe even a bit higher sometimes, let me tell you, a lvl 1 sk with this and 175hp unbuffed rules, lol
On Prexus the Noc blade sells for 6k. now unless you have like 10k to blow on a weapon go with the Moss (mace of the shadowed soul) which sells for 800p. 18/29 +10 int. the ONLY thing the Noc Blade has on the Moss is +5 int more and +10 dex. WOOT +10 dex!! now my Noc blade will proc! wait a min...no proc..well my OFFHAND can proc...wait sk's can't dual wield. hmmm +5 int and +10 dex for over 6k more than the Moss. i'm sorry but paying 6k or more for +5int +10dex is just plain retarded. unless you have the pp of course, so don't flame me rich people. The Moss has higher damage then the Noc by one. wanna up your 1hs skill till you can loot one of these Noc blades? WURMSLAYER 1k. thats 5k less than Noc blade. plus ac, the 24 damage, yada yada yada Noc blade should be like 2500p topps. my 2 cents
You really don't see the value in things eh? 1)Ratios - MoSS: 19/29, 1.526; Noct: 18/26, 1.444 2)Noct gives 5 more int= ~50-60 more mana which never hurt a SK 3)Dex IS useful... Vampiric embrace line of spells (also including mental corruption [mana steal] and shroud of death, puts 50pt lifetap proc on your attacks) 4)*UNCONFIRMED* though I cannot verify it, I've heard many times that slashing is better for interrupting casting 5)This badass **** looks AWESOME while MoSS looks like ****. 6)The improvement is highly evident thus its worth the extra plat to better oneself.
The difficulty of aquisition on the noct is so vastly greater than that of the MoSS (MoSS is a common drop on a cmmon [even if its hard to get to, it isn't hard to find} spawn while the Noct is a rare drop on a rare spawn...the following is space for you to reflect on your lack of insight and common sense... ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
People do have a hard time using / (which is a "/who" command) the other day someone shouted for an enchanter multiple times and i told them to use the /who enchanter command... well that arguement ended up resulting in me being called a newbie... even tho the annoying darkelf cleric was where that lil Ribcage BP that blows and the rest was De Newb Quest Armor with a Clay Guardian shield... now my equipment far outranks hers. And yesturday i was asked to rez some chik becuz i was hold a MoSS... this is why im going to get this weapon

Posted:Sep 09 2001 at 1:19 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Why Would anyone Pay more than 2k for this its crap im a lvl 40SK and im not impressed the 10dex and 15int is nice but thats about it.
not impressed? not IMPRESSED???? ummm 18 26?, umm 10 dex, and 15 int..? Please tell me you're being sarcastic... or else you are one st00pid n00b.... by the way, have you seen what this weapon looks like?... it's awesome... i would give my right kiola nut for one of these swords. and if anyone on Drinal wants to sell, my money is slowly increasing, and when you think I have enough send me a tell, cause I'll buy it if I have the money.

In the current patches vernat has made this weapon more rare. On the bertoxxulous server they use to be 20k to 25k but now around 37k to 40k. BTW sometimes the Dog WL will spawn right after or 2 at one time. When they happens that means one of them has a rare drop besides supple scale armband!
Well two people where either desparate or just stupid. Running 10 to 12K in EC now on Inny. Heck one guy traded it for an FBSS (which is running around 7k)
Price must have dropped a bit since the first posts. It sells in the teens now. Usually starts at 18K but I've heard as low as 14K on Torvo anyway. Still more than I can afford so time to hunt in KC.
dmg ratio not as good as a ebon mace but the added 15int is great and 10 dex which is important as it addes out embrace procs.verdict this is better then ebon mace
