Any idea how long the slow lasts?
I like that dual welded with the Crom Faeyr! Clerics better than fighters

Frostreaver and Stonefire dual wielded for me. I love dual wielding axes.

any idea on how long the slow lasts on flail of ages?

bygones01 · 07-10-2001, 01:37 PM

never mind the flail and all that how about the war hammer crom faeyr.... speed factor 1, +5 to hit, and adjusts str. to 25!!!! that's easily the best item in the game.

Two good and underrated weapons are daggers:
Firetooth (2D4 plus 3 damage, as well as fire damage ) which is better than most longswords, except that you can throw it repeatedly!
*Strength bonuses apply to hurled weapons*

Pixie Prick (plus 3) is arguably the best melee dagger in the game, but has such a horrid name.

Spear of the Impaler is a must have for anyone with Jahiera in their group. Some of the scimitars are not bad, but the Spear really outclasses them. Some of the staffs (especially the staff from the Icewind Dale merchant) are tempting, but once you get to higher levels and can afford the loss of a few bonus spells, the spear will really stand out.

One weapon that I'm really somewhat disappointed in is the Silver Sword. Unlike the vorpal sword from the gold box series, this one just doesn't seem to lop of heads on a regular basis for 'ole Keldorn. He was taking such a beating employing it that I decided that Daystar + Shield was a better option for him. (My main is also a paladin, so Casomyrs isn't an option for Keldorn)

Pixie prick is found in the Astral prison, Part of Haer D'lis quest, and you can buy Firetooth in the Underdark, from a merchant in the first hall of the Drow city.

For the majority of the game my Archer was duel wielding Celestial fury and Pixie prick and either sleeping or stunning everything in his path.
