Intel's Hammer  

 

I zoned in from PoK and there was someone who was soloing the cliff golems. There were two corpses on the ground and I asked if I could loot. He said it was OK, and this was on one of them. Not sure if someone had planted it on there or not, but I definitely looted this off a cliff golem in the overthere

Ok, I know this is old, but if the guy is a necro, how come he able to use a non necro weapon? A group of four of us barely took him down today. (55, rogue, 55 paladin, 52 wizard, 50 bard, and yes, we all have very good gear).

When the hammer dropped, I thought, jeez, for as tougb as he was, not very good weapon. Then I saw who could use it.

Why do some mobs have equipment that isn't for their class?

I know Sony gets upset when we use names from popular fiction and things that would infringe on copyrighted material...

Would the company that makes the Pentium chips be upset they named a hammer after them?

Best 1hb hammer graphic in the game, and nice damage/delay ratio.

Bought it for 250pp in the Bazaar. Cheapest I've seen it go on 2 servers. You will be very lucky to find one for that price. And no, I will not add that price on the data because I do not see it going that low consistently.

I saw this in the bazaar and thought it was a joke the name was so funny. Especially since AMD pushed back the Hammer yet again so it might as well be Intel's chip now! I would love to go around swinging "Intel's Hammer" instead of the springwood club I now use (and for those of you who don't own one, it looks exactly like a splintering club). But alas, I didnt have the 990 pp he was asking. This is definitely on my list of things to buy just for the humour value alone (come on, who really needs a Black Alloy Medallion anyway)

This item will sell for about 1K and is very good for skilling up your 1HB if you are a cleric. But sell it as soon as you're done cuz the stats aren't very good for a cleric. I spent a week with this weapon and got my 1HB maxed out and then sold it for the same price I bought it for.

OK, so the person selling it had it listed for 900pp in the bazaar, with my level 30 BST I sold everything I was willing to sell and only had like 864pp. The nice vendor happened to be looking at her computer screen and sold it to me for 850pp. And Thank you Lildarla, it wasn't a line, I really only had 864 pp 5g 3s 2c to my name.

BTW, it is exactly the same graphic as the Bone Collector's Hammer I use in the off hand. It has that shiny glowing silver sledgehammer look to it with the little icon on it, with a cherry wood looking handle and a finished non-slip grip. ;) I didn't realize that my VESM was Primary only, so I guess I'll pass that on to a friend.

I was tired, but just had to go to Nertherbian Lair to check it out. It hit for over 3 times what my Velium Etched Stone Mace was hitting for. My BST can use the Wisdom, but having a weapon that hits in the 20-30 range when my 1hb is only 22 is awesome. I was only hitting for 2-9 before. I can't wait for my 1hb to get higher, gonna be rocking. With Haste and a few buffs this should really speed up the kill rate. As one person mentioned, the speed we kill is important. Also the faster you kill the mob, the less damage you or someone else has to heal from the mob(s).

This dropped from the tribal advisor, he appeared to be a lvl 60 euridite necro, was an easy fight for a single group 55+

Sorry, posted twice by mistake

This item definately does exist. My RL hubby (36 druid) just bought one in East Commons two days ago on Morell Thule. It's a very nice waepon for low to mid-level. However, there are better items out there for primary if you do not feel the need to melee. If you do want to melee, this is a very good weapon to have.

Considering you can get a springwood club around 2k these days, I wouldnt pay more than 1k for this item.

A Pally in my guild says the AMD one has haste. But he is just a Pally, so who knows =p

I wonder if the person/group naming this weapon intended the dual meaning...Hammer being the code name for AMD's next generation 64 bit cpu. A little Off Topic, sorry.
