Rune Etched Icewurm Fang  

 

As I have noticed hunting for my twink shammy...any Oricle can have the chance to drop this UBER weapon ..the Manor is the only place they stpawn and i got in less then 2 hours of killing anything and everything in the Manor...GL I hope this helps

After creating a new shaman, I wanted to give him the Icewurm Fang as part of his twink package. So I visited this forum and read the available info on the mob that drops it and then off to Kael I went. Not knowing where the "manor" was, I used a druid to track the Oracles and found the "manor" in that way. It is on the left side of the main path between EW and WL before you get to the bank (heading towards the WL side from EW). Note that back of the bank is more or less adjacent to the "manor" but the pathways to each are seperate). Be advised, there is MORE THAN ONE MOB that drops the spear. I hunted there for three sessions before it finally dropped, and when it finally did drop, it was NOT Oracle Bloodstorm who dropped it (note that the surname Bloodstorm is definitely correct, and is NOT Bloodsword or Bloodbaron as stated by others on this forum). The mob that finally dropped the Fang for me was in fact Oracle Zardukel, and over those 3 sessions, I only saw him the one time. I killed Oracle Bloodstorm perhaps 15-20 times in those three sessions, and he never dropped the spear at all. Therefore, I would hazard the guess that Oracle Zardukel is a rare spawn with an almost certainty of dropping the spear, whereas Oracle Bloodstorm is a semi-frequent spawn who rarely drops the spear. All the Oracles have fixed spawn sites within the manor, and each spawn site has placeholders (usually a Chanter So-And-So). If you see a Sentinel, then the place where he is standing is NOT a spawn spot for an Oracle. Oracles have no triggers to spawn them, unless you call killing the PH's a trigger. Either way, you will need to be very lucky to get the spear quickly. If the Oracle has the spear, he will have it equipped and you will see it. I used a level 69 mage with a focussed air pet to very easily solo the manor as fast as the mobs would spawn, and it took me three 4-hour sessions to get the drop. The biggest mob I saw were named giants who were light blue to me and soloable by my pet. KEI was not needed, nor were HP buffs for the air pet. So, in reply to one persons query here, I would say that a level 64 mage could solo the place without any real problem, especially if said mage knows how to use pets to single pull mobs without getting adds. Hope this helps any people who want to get the spear for themselves.

This item is no longer equipable in the RANGE slot. I have had it for several years, and it does not go in the Range Slot.

I may be in error, but is it correct to assume a lvl 64 epic mage could solo the manor?

And which would be best to use? Epic pet or 62 water or 61 air? (child of ro is a univeral joke)

Just seems like a nice place to farm.

Or should I just stick to the Arena solo and hope for quested armor drops no one wants since ornate and elemental armor patterns came into vogue?

Can't throw it. It doesn't have a range. Look up arrows and they have a range to target. This sweet item has no range, therefore you can't accidently throw it away.

Does this have any type of differant graphic, or is it just have a plain reg spear graphic?

I know who (Oracle Bloodbaron), I know where (Manor in Kael), now all I need to know is when? I am setting a little party to go camp this thing, and I wouldn't want it to turn into a 6hour wait for nothing situation, so would someone plz post how long it takes for him to pop, and if there is a trigger for him plz add. Thanks

P.S. thanks to Xorraiz Ravenfang

For those that are curious this drops off the Oracle Bloodbaron in the "plate house" or "manor" as some call it. Pre-epic i used for a long long time. Also, i highly recommend a Horse/leezard for all shamans...as u dont get sit agro, but are sitting..so u regen at max for canni. at 58 i dont even bother with KEI anymore. With vindi BP & regen 3 u will be a canni machine of constant HP..add regrowth walla...KEI is nice if its free, but not neccessary.
what exactly this has to do with this thread..well i dunno..hehe...just bored at work!

I've noticed alot of shaman mentioning stamina drain while using this. I'm not sure if it just never got around to some folks but if your sta is over 100 you have no negative effects on your atk. The only side effect of having no yellow bar is that you cannot jump.

Take a look at the rogue/ranger boards and you'll find all the info you need.

I'm pretty sure only lizards and kitties need even consider sta and by the time you can proc this you shouldnt have a problem getting your sta over 100.

REIF actually works better than epic for meleeing. Epic has better stats, though, so I usually keep it equipped. If I want to melee I'll use a good 2HB (like Barbarian Spiritists Hammer) because it lands more damage and a possible proc between JBB blasts. If you're JBBing, it doesn't matter how fast your weapon is, you'll still only get one hit every 8 seconds.

With JBB and BSH, plus the actual melee damage, I can do over 600 damage in one round. Fun.

If I did not have JBB I'd be very tempted to switch from epic to REIF to do melee.

Picked this up last night for a mere 2k! great deal on a pretty wicked weapon for a shaman pre-epic.

I got this last night in the new Bazaar option (and stole it to boot) and it is great. After having one I would easly pay much more after know what it does. My dog and i solo db giants with this, slow and ebolt and end the up with 90+ percent health on both of us. BTW this is the first time that i have a sta problem (keep running low) during a fight.
