Kid From Fooqui, I think this is blitzable to. I wasn't impressed with the top damage on these, but they do have all of our attacks. Any observations would be welcome.
Obfuscating Dagger I found these off of Nascense/Elysium Redeemed mobs in the Redeemed village around lvl 40/60 & Utopolis (skunkpike) around level 80/90. Obfuscating daggers drop on faction mobs throughout the zones." from Thorswind. Just looted a QL60 from a Mala at the Chapel of Chants in Ely. The faction mobs seems to have a very rare drop.
Typical Dragon Tooth Poker QL 177. random Tarasque-loot, thanks to Shantara.
Nippy John Stiletto Nerfed by FC to 175-375 (300) damage. Nevertheless it probably will still be the best Shade weapon after all (even for highlevel Shades) as there is no other weapon with a comparable damageoutput you can use 1/1 on full def including a crit scope equipped. NJS drops exclusively from Nippy Slither - a level 195 SL boss located at the end of the Slither cave down in Adonis Abyss. (Btw: it took me about ~200 Kills to get my 2 Nippys while others get a 3 Nippys out of 4 Kills - so the droprate is some kinda "unfair"...), thanks to Shantara. From Adonis only mobs in Slither Cave.
Eye-Gouger I found these off of Nascense Redeemed mobs in the Redeemed village. They were more common if I remember correctly. I also found these in the main Elysium Redeemed city Utopolis on the 2nd floor, again they seemed to be more of a common drop and around level 80 to 95.
Lady of Deceit and Lord of Deceit both do a damage of 300-400 (300) - Poison AC and therefore seem to be the piercing weapons with highest mindamage. Also the MBS of 2500 looks nice, but the speed of 3/3 makes you slow down rather a bit. There's even more to criticize looking at the specials: only sneak attack und dimach are available. Also I'm still wondering why there's a Lady (QL 299) respectively a Lord (QL 300) as there are no differences regarding the stats and requirements. Since neither of the two did drop so far as well as considering the high QL I'm pretty sure they will be to find in Pandemonium, this was all from Shantara, and if I can find some of the forums this is discussed I wil add it! Also they do give some nice health & psy mod bonuses.
Newland Fish Knife - Five Stars (by QL: One Star / Two Stars / Three Stars / Four Stars / Five Stars) is a weapon with acceptable minimum damage which makes it suitable for RK as well as for SL. Unfortunately the NFK only drops in RK dynacamps so that there are rather few in circulation, as per Shantara. I have to say that the attack rating is one of the best I've seen of 1900 in comparison to other RK weapons listed that average between 1200 to 1500.
Sigd Can be purchased in stores in the gardens or I found these off of Nascense Redeemed mobs in the Redeemed village. They were not rare or common if I remember correctly. I also found these in the main Elysium Redeemed city Utopolis on the 2nd floor, again they seemed to be not rare or common drop and around level 80 to 95. They can also be found sold in the gardens up to around level 145 to 150. From what I've read they are decent against Hecklers.
Bronto Vet Lancet These were a very common drop. I found these off of Nascense Redeemed mobs in the Redeemed village. I also found these in the main Elysium Redeemed city Utopolis on the 2nd floor, around level 80 to 95. Honestly these are not an impressive weapon. They give no bonuses and have a very low minimum & maximum damage. The only good thing is that they don't take brawl and are common.
Die Kleine Nadel drops up to QL 300. Left hand only weapon. Lately I've seen these drop more frequently. Nasc: any named mini boss, named dragons in swamp (ql25/30, Lord, Lady & Spirit Boss (ql15/25) at temple near Frontier Bridge, Elysium: minx by ergo (ql133) or any named mini boss, or extremely rare form Malas & Hiathlins by the temple of chants, Catacomes under Nero & Shunpike, Scheol: Just outside of Ergo on the doorway to Adonis there are a number of mini-bosses (spirit & spirit hunters) and 2 minx (ql143) that drop, Catacomes under Court & Bog, Adonis: Near first artifact in perm key quest the spirits & spirit hunters (ql157), and spirits around City North & South.
Spike of Menace (OT) as well as Trick Poker(Clan) Damage 134-361 (50) drops up to QL 300 and has to be build combining a Turn Spirit for Shade with either an Inamorata Rapier (Omni version) or a Sancrosanct Stiletto (Clan version). Unlike Inamorata/Sancrosant weapons these can't be used by neutral Shades anymore as for a definitely required alignment to Omni or Clan. Minium damage has been upgraded and these are looking quite nice. Pokers currently doesn't drop, they are made with clan shade turn spirits from upgraded sancrosanct stillettoes. (Thanks to Thorswind).
toothpicker (no brawl requirement) drops on RK in smugglers den off boss. (Thanks to Szgany) is a nice weapon for all those level >= 71. 19-144 (292) looks like decent damage (while the high crit makes it more suitable for RK), and with a speed of 1/1 it's one of the faster weapons. As ~normal~ specials it comes along with sneak attack and fast attack, but it also has a 7% chance of landing a Deep Cut
Drops from Clawfinger Forefather at Smuggler's Den. Thanks to Shantara.
Piercing Evil Piercing evil drops in inferno, not in nascence, ql 220-260. (Thanks to Thorswind) There was a nice thread on this by Kaecia: The boss you wan't to kill is Aniitap's Shadow in Inferno near redeemed temple @ 2400x3250. Dropped only a ql220. http://forums.anarchy-online.com/sho...hreadid=252416 A highlevel version of the NJS which completely failed in my humble opinion. At first sight 175-425 (425) - Chemical AC looks like great damage but due to the fact that minimum damage is all that counts while you're in SL it loses some of its glory. Well, it has in fact a higher MBS than Nippy (2000 compared to 1000) so minimum damage will be better than with NJS - but with 2/2 it's slower and the fast attack recycle is pretty lame. Which bothers me most is the fact that it's right hand only, so there's no way of "tricking" around the fast attack recycle for you'll have to use PE as mainhand weapon. Drops btw from Aniitap's Shadow near the Redeemed Temple in Inferno, thanks to Shantara.
Bloodlusts Still "No Drop". Drops fom Bosses in the Catacomb Dungeons ( the only confirmed drops i know of are from Penumbra upwards (QL260+) (Thanks to Tesla). From Allowishous, high QL bloodlust (mainly for that agi/sense buff), kill a couple lords of the void. Lord of the void is a lv250 mob, and you can find them scattered all thruout SL. there's at least 1 in every zone (including nascence). http://forums.anarchy-online.com/sho...hreadid=254823 From Nerf: got a 253 on a adonis catacomb boss. I did read of a drop lower than QL 200 somewhere here in the forum, which I personally can't confirm, cause on RK3 I only know of drops above QL 200 which means Penumbra and further on, thanks to Shantara. 264 & 270 from an LoTV, from Allowishous.
Spear of forbidden Ceremonies ... catacomb dungeon bosses (Thanks to Tesla). Right Hand only. from ql 200 to 300. I thought I saw this weapon in Scheol Cats, but I could have been confused with Staff of Pelias. Shanta reported this only being in Adonis & up I think, and she may be correct. The damage looks quite nice. The benifits of Str & Stam rocks alone.
Slayerdroid Crystal Claw is comparable to ITDs but unlike harder to obtain as they drop from the Obediency Enforcer only. They also require the expensive brawl skill and with an attack time of 3.1s they are not really a "must have", as per Shantara.
Silvertail Dagger might be the first weapons you'll go for after your startup daggers. Silvertail Daggers have to be build out of three components that drop inside Jobe BY. I would definately keep your pair for high level just for that plus 8 to sense they give.
ITD & ITD (Tango Dirks & Improved Tango Dirks) Can be purchased in the trader only store up to lvl 145 or can be blitzed for a mission reward at any level up to 200 I think. The Improved/Enhanced version is a trade skill process done on a normal tango dirks normally by a trader or engi. Remember that ITDs unlike the more typical Shade weapons require brawl, which makes them quite "expensive" regarding your IP, as per Shantara. If I may add these are quite nice and the top damage on these are much higher than a normal tango dirk. Getting them improved is hard, finding someone who can & is willing to do is not easy and then you will have to pay for it, normally. I would definately post for help on this or ask in your guild. They are definately a nice weapon & the brawl component opens up the option to use compressed blades.
Inamorata Rapier or Sancrosanct Stiletto are the faction weapons for Omni- or Clan-Shades and neutral Shades with the required unredeemed/redeemed faction points. Combined with theGrey Glyph of Aban-Thar will end up as an Inamorata Aban-Thar Rapier (Sneak and Fast Attack are added now). Thanks to Shantara. Drops from redeemed/unredeemed & very rare. Again you will need a trade skiller to combine the Glyph to the weapon, but they look pretty decent. Well, except for the pirate looking sword itself.
Compressed blades These are missionable and seem to be a decent weapon from some posts. I myself just blitzed a few, I like to test out alternate weapons to see how they work. ****a posted on this saying that at ql200 its an awesome blade and one of the best weapons outside of nippys for our class. This weapon is easy to get too. http://forums.anarchy-online.com/sho...hreadid=251289 One final note, this is a weapons that needs brawl. Definately something to check out if your using enhanced tango dirks.
Staff of Pelias This has gotten its specials back and looks to be a decent minimum damage weapon. Drops from bosses in the Catacome dungeons below any faction temple all over SL, thanks to Shantara. Someone thought this was 2 handed, but it is not. It is "no drop" though, so hunting down with a main is tougher for this. Looks decent.
Chicanery They go up to ql 150, they are Dyna boss drops in RK. Thanks to fhinn. I have to say that it is a pretty impressive weapon for RK, but just remember to use it you must be an opifex. http://forums.anarchy-online.com/sho...hreadid=245447
Thousand Stings of Pain There is a question whether this is even dropping at all yet or not. I thought I saw one, but can't confirm it. Will continue updating.
Mangler Claw thanks to Iinarlli. This is a missionable item. The nice part about this weapon other then that its blitzable, it also has no brawl requirements and might give non-brawl shades an option. The discussion though seems to be that this is not a good choice for us in comparison to enhanced tango dirks & compressed blades in damage output. http://forums.anarchy-online.com/sho...hreadid=251289
Targeting Scopes Not a direct weapon for us, but something it seems like that would be very useful for us. These drop in mission and at any QL, taking Perception if I remember correctly. They give an increase to your crit chance on each hit, but reduce your init slightly. I would say a must have for any shade!
Right & Left Hand: This can determine what weapon you use for Fast Attack and Backstab. ****a says to put your higher damage fast attack weapon in your Right Hand for better effect. http://forums.anarchy-online.com/sho...hreadid=251289 I also wonder if this choice of which weapon is located where effect your Backstab. I'll continue checking this out till I find some more info. on it.
Sneak Attack: This is like AS for agents it sounds like, so the higher you up this the better your Backstab will hit for. Check out this post for more info: http://forums.anarchy-online.com/sho...hreadid=250736
