Not a very good dagger but it's easy to farm so I'd reccomend it if you're looking for a decent, easy to get dagger.

Just stealth run it with another rouge. Open the bridge and walk over to the bar, be careful to not be inflamed by fire elemental pats, and kill plugger.

Kommentar von OtherGuy

How to Solo the Bartender (Plugger):

First, if you want to do it yourself, you must be at least level 58 to stealth through to the Bartender. Listening to jellybotswana's strategy (see above), do what he says, but this is how to do it alone.

This may cost atleast: 10g

First, you'll need the following:
Major Healing Potion
Greater Shadow Protection Potion

(The reason this may cost at least 10g is because people mostly sell the Major Healing Potions and Shadow Protection Potions in stacks of 5.

First, go up to the table and buy 2 beers off of Plugger. Go to the corner with the Tauren for the rep turn in's and stand in front of him. Use a bear on the floor right in front of you, one will walk over to it and pick it up and get stunned, kill him/her. Do it again, until the two people standing at the bar have been killed. Then use your shadow protection potion, and stealth up to him. (He will not appear to be attackable, but he is). Use Cheap Shot or Ambush, kill him the way you would any other MOB. Be prepared to have the Major Healing Potion ready.

TIPS:
Shadow Healing Potion - I would use this 2 minutes before the fight, so if he breaks through the potion, you have another one to pop, without waiting for the cooldowns.
Evasion - This is a must.
Cold Blood - Use it on a 5 point eviscerate, if you have it.

Thanks.

This dagger has a great damage range for a pre-T0 rogue....beware the DoT proc though for it ruins gouge.

Kommentar von Wildarms1

I loved this dagger 50-60, 2 rogues can stealth to him and take him out np.

ESPECIALLY now if your cloak of shadows, 2 dagger rogues is very nice on him. Ambush, and sustained backstabs make up for his high caster dps, just throw the bottle at him and keep him away from the drunks. You can defeat him pretty easily if all is timed right, as said before, Barman shanker's proc is awful, it ruins gouge's effect and just like deadly poison it's pretty sucky for sustained dps.

Kommentar von optimates

The barman shanker is one of the best backstab daggers you can acquire in the 50's pvp bracket. The slow speed, smaller damage range, and high end upper damage make it ideal for backstabs. As mentioned before, the proc is terrible and ironically enough, makes it so much more difficult to pull a backstab off if it does proc. If you're mainly interested in pvp though, it's probably one of the better daggers you can have for the 50-59 bracket.

Kommentar von dadicus

Add a +5 weapon DMG enchant to this and sharpen it with dense sharpening stone (+8) brings the top end DMG of this weapon up to 108, making it capable of hitting almost as hard as the Lobotomizer.

Yes the proc sucks so I suggest replacing the dagger as soon as you can get one that is better for Ambush/Backstab... but it is nice until that time comes.

Kommentar von 44122

8 runs of BRD so far, no drop.

Kommentar von krisdl

OK I see the guy above say you have to be lvl 58 to stealth in here but why would you want this blade at that lvl? Also I am lvl 52 rogue and I went in with a LVL 70 rogue, we wiped a couple of times because I didn't listen to him and that as simple as it was, after that I started listening and we got to drop on the first kill.

I will agree, when this procs its a pain in the ass, but I havnt even got my dagger skill past 230 yet as I was swords and it was criting on 820 without any enchants and skill not fully pushed.

I do like this dagger, seems blizzard decided to give the rogues something, then with the proc they took it all away again, it doesn't proc all the time but enough to make you very weary when fighting higher than you lvl mobs, before I would take my time with gouge in place to get engery, now I go all out with kidney punch and cheap shot and hope gouge works.

At lvl 52 I feel quite lucky to have this blade, if there is anything better I would love to know about it :)

Kommentar von 35664

this dagger was used by Meandro in Bring The Shadow movie series.

Kommentar von 53670

Best you can get till 57. Quite usable, the proc's irritating when it goes off, though.

Been running Suplalji on it on Bloodhoof, it's been 30 runs and no drop. 20 of them have been Mixologist's Tunic, which is 20 more than dropped in the 23 runs it took me to get Barman. drop tables are effin' weird.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Got this on my first kill of Plugger. Too bad my whole party got wiped out by the patrons afterwards. It definitely rocks.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You can pickpocket the key from Plugger, but apporx. 7 seconds after you do the entire room goes hostile.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The special thing about this Dagger is the Damage combined with its speed and the "ease" of getting it I would say.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got barman on the 17th run. Started doing these runs around level 53-54, with 5/5 MoD and Nightscape Boots. As long as guildmate (lvl 60) distracted elementals on bridge, I could get through.

A lot of jumper cables and decent green dropped. I gave my 60 friend mass mind numbing poisons and thats it. Aggro was always on him and he never needed to use a potion of any kind, he would start out with ambush, i'd use ambush and backstab only, and plunger would go down fast. Of course, i'd jump in front to kick when you see plunger casting shadowbolts.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

is it possible to solo him at 55

Kommentar von Allakhazam

63 runs.
I've never even seen it drop. Why is it so elusive?
41 mixologists tunics, 19 Jumper Cable formulas.
And 4 BoE greens.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

killed him 30 times so far, and still no dagger...

guess im outa luck

Kommentar von Allakhazam

am i missign something special about this dagger? any low lvl rogue i ever come across asks me why i would rather have a heartseeker/bonescraper combo than this... and i dunno what to tell them, but by looking at the stats, im unsure what is so great about this dagger.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

why is it that there's no picture online? Neither on thottbot nor here...

I'll start making runs this evening and I'd like to know how it looks like.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This dropped 2 times in 2 nights for me on emperor runs. THis is supposed to have a 3% less drope rate than the LF gloves (I am a Paladin) but yet I have seen this drop 3 times, and never my gloves. I feel bad for your rogues who have stealthed this so many times to get it :/

Kommentar von Allakhazam

also , a way to kill him easy is , put some beer you can find on the table beside him , that will lure the minions around him , stand in the room beside and kill them , do that until hes the only one there , and then BAM whoop his ass.

I know it was nerfed, but can someone explain HOW? In wich way? Don't understand that speed thingie that happened with 1.8 :<

edit: nvm, checked the changelog once more, i understand now :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

done 10 run now without seeing this to drop :( we own him fast (me lvl 54 rogue and m8, lvl 60 rogue) drop rate of ti should be lower than 7%..

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I understand that the item description states that this is "sold by" Plugger-

Can anyone confirm or deny that a rogue is able to sneak back to the bar and purchase this little tidbit from Plugger?

That is, assuming Plugger is in the bar- if he isn't, where is he?

Cheers!

Edit: My confusion comes from the "note" on the page that shows up when you click on Plugger's hyperlink- it states that some of these items are "dropped" and some "sold"...

Edited, Fri Jan 14 12:29:10 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It's deffinatly a drop by plugger, who is indeed in the bar located in BRD. You can buy a recipe to transmute fire to earth, some type of ham, and a type of drink from him.

When you enter the bar, you will notice that all of the people are yellow, meaning they will not attack you. Go up the ramp on the right and you will see the plugger at the bar at the far end with 4 customers around him. Use the drink you buy from him to lure the customers away and kill them, then kill the plugger. He's a spell caster that does some fairly nasty shadow damage in the form of shadow bolt (he was hitting me for 300-400)... for that reason you'll want some shadow protection potions (greater if you can find them). He also uses immolate which can hurt, but isn't as bad. After killing him, the bar will turn from a peaceful yellow to an enraged red, they want to find out who killed their bar tender, so stealth and get out of there asap.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I was all prepared to do this guy in. I had my Whippers, pots, poisons, shadow res+ ring, everyting. Then someone told me I need the Shadowforge Key to get to the guy. >.>

So a Druid (key owner) from my guild Danu Nephilimer is gonna sneak in with me and help me with the dagger. Big up Hortator. Also big up Hazealot for doing the first three runs!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Theres alot of other dagger\1hswords who are indeed much better than this dagger. Dont go threw all that time wasted on getting that crappy dagger.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

20 runs so far, no drop.. ill keep faith

Kommentar von Allakhazam

all 1.8 really did was set a specific amount of damage 4 weapons meaning daggers did less damage but are naturally faster. 2 handed weapons were given the advantage because instead of the speed affecting things the wep type changes the dmg

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I herd from somewhere that if you /lick Plugger it will be a 100% drop. I highly doubt it but Once i get around that level and start running BRD i will try it.

Would be intresting if someone tried it out and relayed info

Kommentar von Allakhazam

so far ive done 10 runs and no shanker. got 5 vests, 1 jumper cable, 2 boe greens and 2 Codex: Prayer of Fortitude...WTF Codex: Prayer of Fortitude has a .06% chance to drop and i ve gotten 2!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've got some rogues in my guild coming up to 60 and they would like to get their hands on the shanker. Only problem is we're not sure if there's a procedure for pulling the barman. Is there anything special we need to do or is it a straight pull?

Any advice would be great!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

ugh, i was in a group farming for this with a lvl 59 gnome rogue who needed it, and a lvl 60 human rogue who was helping (he didn't need it), the gnome won the roll over me with 81 vs. 34. i can't beleive it actually dropped on the first attempt too! now i'm the one who has to go and try 50 more times to get it. and the gnome... well, he won't help anymore. i hope he enjoys the dagger -.- *curses under breath*

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i accidentally sold mine... got it again the same day by running brd

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you don't understand what happened on 1.8, here's the drift.

Your weapon speed reflects the damage it deals on instant attacks. Namely Sinister Strike and that sort. Thus, traditionally, the quick daggers were shunned over slower weapons.

In 1.8, Blizzard coded all daggers as 1.70 speed weapons in regards to instant attacks. This does NOT affect the way ANY other attacks function. Only instant attacks.

As a user of Shadowblade and Julie's Dagger (1.4 and 1.3 respectively, i think), this actually improved my dps. Some nerf.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've done about 16 runs. Good tip for level 50'ers for the elementals on the bridge. Hit vanish then sprint past them. That's 22 copper per vanish, better than 10% durability.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ok. I log in at 3am GMT to do a bit of grinding - RANDOM lvl 55 dorf rogue /w me asking if I'll help him get the shankar - I DO have the shafowforge key on this toon (unlike my main, lol) but I tell him straight up I want the dagger as well (mainly for ambushing mages - I’m sword spec atm but CS is a waste of energy on mages - so I’ve been using a lvl 42 dagger for ambush >_<) but that I’m happy to do enough runs as I have shadow pots - maybe more.

So first run: it drops - we agreed that we would both roll on the first one - I roll a 16 to his 8 (damn we are high rollers ;p) so I’m haaaaaapy. (1.1k ambush crits sword spec is pretty tasty)

We reset, go again (plugger dies so very fast) and? YEP it drops again. 2 drops for 2 runs :) /happy

quick guide:

Use the DI beer to pull the mobs away - one rogue use mind numbing poison on both weapons the other can use whatever - instant imo - the BEST thing is a sword rogue and a dagger rogue - the sword rogue pulls and holds aggro (add rush ftw) and the dagger slices away from behind – this way the dagger rogue can get an ambush in an everything :)

I used: Shadow Prot potion (just a 'normal' one, not greater (3g per pot? I think not)) 1 thistle tea on the first run (wasn’t a good pull - didn’t drag the last patron back far enough and plugger agroed) - didn’t even need healing pots.

So for a lvl 60 and a lvl 55 rogue - hes a piss of piss :)

and barman’s is still the best /free/ blue dagger for ambushes :)

glad I logged on tbh ;p

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I was very fortunate. I snuck as a 56 rogue with another 60 rogue. Got it on second run. The other rogue didn't use daggers but was kind enough to help me get it. Mind numbing poisons helped out a lot. The other rogue had the agg almost the entire time but didn't even need to use a health pot either time.

to Veldaeven: Yes, you can sneak back there to the bar without much trouble. Once you get to the bar, you don't have to stay stealthed (although I did just cause I was paranoid). All the mobs are neutral. You can walk right up to Plugger and buy the beers.

When me and 3 other rogues was going for the Shanker (only me and 1 other who needed) a random mob by the gate lock dropd the Searing Needle :P We did 5 runs, then people had to go, but I didn't go outta there empty handed :)

Just went in to get the key , so i sayd , "Lets try do it " when we where about to exit. And so we did , and we found barman 5 min ago. I LOVE it.

Ps. Owned! :P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

About getting Shanker solo:

1. Are there any kind of doors which I need key to, or can I lockpick all of them?

2. Must I kill some other bosses / mobs on the bar so they won`t aggro before I go to Plugger?

Thanks.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I'm on my 40th run with no drop. Do you need to take all his stuff for it to drop? Or do you just kill those buddies and then attack him?

My 60rogue friend and me (55 rogue) have been doing it for awhile and we havent been pissing him off till he attacks us, we just pull 2 with stolen beer and sap the others..

Kommentar von Allakhazam

one ... this is the BEST looking dagger in the game, i mean how often do you get to run around with a BROKEN BEER BOTTLE?

but i digress

with an ave of about 70 dmg, that turns Ambushes into 1.1- 1.2k crits at 50 ... close to 2k or more at 60 (with crud gear btw) O.o

this thing tears up in PvP pop with lifestealing or +15 agi or some weapon dmg and you got one hella nice dagger... stabby stabby

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you look at all the potential drops for plugger, you'll see that it labels them all as "sold by" due to the fact that plugger is an npc. I've also tried to buy from her and there certainly is no dagger :-)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

A totaly brutal weapon for backstabbing and ambushes. For these abilities it is on par with even the epic daggers like Felstrikers since its so slow but hard hitting. Due to its DOT proc though, its best used ONLY for these purposes, else you will find it interrupting your stuns or knocking off others more powerful DOTS in a raid (which they wont be very happy with). Use a macro to switch back to a slow, powerful main hand sword for your normal attacks and Sinister strikes.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got it. I'd say.... 7th run? My good man Hazealot supplied the healing while we battered the poor barman.

Throwing those mugs of ale is an art form I tell ya. Good luck on all who endeavor to get it.

Okay, I am 21/8/22 (dagger spec) and I've been farming him for awhile now, It's quite easy.

First off, Get a normal Shadow protection pot, if needed for lower levels, a major healing.

Use the guides above to get to him, Once there, Pull the patrons one by one with the DI ale, kill them while they're stunned, far enough away so plugger doesn't agro.

My spec is daggers, so I open up with ambush, followed by evasion, SS spam till 5 points, pop cold blood, eviscerate, kick, hit prep, evasion, kick, spam SS till 5 points, cold blood, eviscerate. by now he should be at 1/3 or at half health, keep spamming SS and eviscerate, pop potion or kick and move back and bandage if needed.

Also, don't make my mistake and die from his DoT at the end forgetting to sit and eat :P I lost out on one loot from doing that >.<

Haha. My friend and I went out to do the shanker runs, that he had promised me. We were on our way in the instance, when i noticed he had gotten disconnected on the way in. In the message log, it had said he had logged off 4 times. So i figured well you know.. things happen. Couple minutes later, someone messages me and says it is him, and that his character cant log on, and when he tries he gets disconnected. Haha, that ruined the whole night. Oh and by the way, he was able to log back in 3 days later. Got the shanker after 6 runs.

!@#%

So, I help a 56 rogue get this, since I was only 58 at the time and I wanted the thing. After about 10-20 runs, we log and such. Several days and many runs later, he and someone else tries it. It drops, but he loses the roll. Several days and even more runs later, he goes with a friend and wins the roll.

I, however, have never seen this thing drop even after running Plugger 30+ times. >.<

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I have now done it between 35-40 runs. No Shanker. I'm starting to think it's not on the loot table anymore, really frustrating.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got this a week or so ago. Myself and another Rogue in my Guild got it. I had the key, so we both went in stealthed, I unlocked the gate. We got to the bar. We each had at least 10 of the beers on us to distract the patrons near Plugger (had been to BRD a few times before this). Partner had Imp Sap, I am combat specced. He sapped 1 patron that didn't want to move, I sapped the other. We focused on Plugger. I'm artisan Alchemist, so had a greater shadow protection potion for both of us. Took out Plugger, he dropped the shanker. I got it. We went back out, reset the instance, and went back in. Same dealy, and my buddy in my guild got a shanker right after I got mine.

Pretty rare for it to drop so fast in a 10 minute time span, but it's a cool dagger. Too bad it's not hanging from your belt like most other daggers. :(

Though eventually if I ever get them, would like to replace it with Gutgore or Felstriker. :)

Vesania, why do you keep posting that crap in every single forum for every dagger above level 50? No one cares how much damage one dagger does over the other one, they are just going to try to get which ever one THEY think is best, or which ever one they have a good chance at. I normally wouldn't care, but im trying to find a dagger to use when I hit my mid 50's and in every forum I see the exact same post, and your list doesn't even tell which one is best, it just lists the stats. Unless you have some info that people need r if your flaming another comment, or unless you have a logical reason to post, please dont. Anyways, does this guy have 2 people near him? is it possible to pull him single with ranged? If I were to sap one, how hard is it to kill him and the one? Any info is appreciated.

95 shanker runs?

i got mine from the 5th run .. and at this time it was already boring as hell..

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Anyone have any idea on the difference the nerf caused to their DPS on this item? I got it just after and it was a considerable upgrade anyway, I want to know how hard I should be lookin to replace it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The Shanker is a drop from Plugger Spazz... in the BRD bar the drop rate for the dagger is pretty rare however it took me 26 runs to finally get it to drop. However you can make some decent coin on the runs especially if you are a miner as you can hit 2 - 3 dark iron deposits along the way on my server dark iron goes for 9g a stack.

The easiest way as a rouge to kill Plugger solo is as follows:

Stealth up to the barroom at this point all of the patrons are non hostile walk up to plugger and purchase Dark iron Ale from him ideally you would like to purchase the ale when he is on the coner of the l shaped bar top that he paths, as he will stay in the spot you purchased items from him.
Once you have the ale you will need to pull the 4 patrons that are at the bar away from the bar the two on the right side of the bar can be pulled into the side cubby where the dark iron quest npc is. the patron to the far left can be pulled directly left along the beer barrels/kegs and the inner left patron can be pulled straight out from the bar. One thing to remember when tossing ale is that the closest patron to the ale will move to it so dont over throw or youll need more than 10 ales which is all plugger sells. the patrons can be moved using 7- 8 ales.

After the patrons are a safe distance away an plugger is alone on the bar. Apply "Mind Numbing Poison" to your daggers this stuff owns plugger! stealth behind him on the backside of the bar (farthest away from patrons) then "Cold Blood" ambush > Evade > SS > SS (if you are a prep build pop prep) Cold bold Evis > evade rinse repeat. I generally didnt even need a healing pot to take him down as a prep build rougue.

Other Helpful hints:
Greater shadow protection potions: can absord up to 2000 ish shadow damage which is Pluggers primary attack. Reminder these are on the same timer as healing pots so you should take them 2 minutes before you start attacking plugger they last 1 hour.

Whiper tubers and Nightshade fruits:
these are available in felwood via the plant salve quest and are on seperate times from healing potions. They can provide extra health support if needed. Before I went preperation build i needed these.

Evade:
Dont forget too. He hits for 150-300 mellee.

Cheapshot, gouge, Kidneyshot, Kick:
None of these work. I am not 100% sure about kick but i have never been able to interupt with it.

Wanted to try this at level 57, darn dogs kept agrooing me lol. Sneaking past the dogs much easier at level 60? If it isnt I'll just save for heartseeker now =P.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

2 Rogues, 3 runs, 2 drops.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

easily done once you're lvl58. one fire potion (enough for at least 2 runs) and one shadow potion (everytime) and you're set to solo this guy. will need Cold Blood and if possible Preparation. got it after 11 runs

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I farmed it myself. Just bring a Major health pot and U will be fine. got it on the fifth kill

Kommentar von Allakhazam

But dont use it in MC/BWL

Kommentar von Allakhazam

about 17 runs now, never a dagger, i seen it drop once but my partner won the roll, as for all the good stuff that drops if i m not solo :p come to think of it i think its more then 17 runs

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just fnished my 12 run last night and still no Shanker.....

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Wow, I didnt realize the drop rate was so low. Last night it dropped on the first kill (ever for me). Also won the roll against another rogue. I was excited at the time, but even more so now that I see the drop rate!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

soloed him when i was 56 and 57. Had to use pots and buffs most of the times and i specced combat just to make it easier. it dropped on the 10:th run.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got this #$%^ on first run
- disenchanted ^^ <3

Kommentar von Allakhazam

this guy is soloable as a 60 rogue?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This dagger is a pretty decent dagger for 60's unless u an get the 2 out of AV, which is really simple, the reason everyone wants this dagger is before they nered weapon speed normalization this dagger was better then perditions Blade

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The information from www.wowhead.com/classic says its drops from him https://www.wowhead.com/classic/npc=18915

I have to check it out, not sure wich is correct.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i solod this punk 10 times, and did it with a 54 rogue 32 times....then said ^&*! it ill use the rend set...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

took me 38 plugger kills and maybe 5 deaths to get it to drop. but I did a 1236 unbuffed backstab crit and an 1801 ambush on a rat so it was worth it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Easy *!@#

Kommentar von Allakhazam

is it possible to solo him at 55?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

got the dagger on my 8th kill. the easiest way to beat him is to just buy 10 dark iron ales and use two of them for pulling each of the dark iron mobs in front of him into the room with the Thorium Order npc. this way, you won't get aggro by plugger and won't have to worry about potential links. at the time, i was using Lord General's Sword in main hand and thrash blade in off hand, and i was able to kill him with using a greater shadow detection potion and a Cold Blood/Preparation build.

oh yeah, and after you kill him and the guys near him, don't forget to loot the dark iron ale and boar objects on the tables around the bar plugger hangs out on for some free ale to pull with for next time and some good food :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

from plugger indeed :)

1rst run :D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

ok been 15 times already with some other rogue. never dropped. got shadowforge key yesterday so now i guess ill go solo him. most frustrating dagger ever.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

And here is a view of it without an enchant.

http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=269233

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Yeah soloable at 58. Used Magic Resistance and Superior Healing potion, Mind numbing poison x2, and Cold bloodx2 (Prep).

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got this on my third run with a 60 druid. Did the old style way. He did it on his rogue 25-30 times to get it, and by reading all of you peoples post, I guess I had some luck. This has been my lucky day, a farmar gave me 120g for not reporting him xD.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The Barman Shanker is dropped after you kill Plugger. The 5% drop rate is accurate, as it took me about 20 tries to get my dagger.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Me and a group decided to kill him on the way to doing the 7 dwarves, first time i fought him

He dropped it :D so happy, first time =), im loving the damage atm :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got this baby after 66 succesful runs (quite a few unsuccesfull which i did't count) i gave up after 65 times, and on run 66 I was in BRD with other intentions then to kill the barman, we killed him anyway, guess what... Made my day

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got this on my second run ^^
I was so happy :DD since I knew many people has done this like 40 times without getting it.
I'm currently helping out a friend getting it. We're on our 13th run and still no shanker :/

One tip tough. When you've killed Plugger, take the beer on the table. That way you don't have to spend alot of money buying it.

Edited, Thu Jul 14 23:17:42 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

How are you people getting this after so many runs!
I got mine on my second bar run!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I finally got it. Now the only question is what to enchant it with.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Such a shame this causes a bleed over time effect...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

lol... I log on yesterday and a guildie says he needs one more for a guild BRD run. I go, it's three rogues, a priest and a warrior. I'm using a really bad dagger for ambush/BS and the other rogues are using good daggers/swords. We get to this guy, and he drops it first time :) Never fought him before.

Great damage on it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

pics anyone?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

ok...went to BRD for my 1st run. I opened the 1st 3 doors with the shadowforge key. once I start my way, i have a problem. after these 3 doors, I am supposed to go through a tunnel carved on a HUGE door (with eventually leads to bael'gar). prob is, that door is opened so I cannot go through (literally through) it to the other side. that door is right before a bridge with 5/6 fire elementals. anyone can tell me what am I doing wrong and why is the door opened? :(((

edit1: nevermind. forgot to engage the mechanism that closed the door. hopefully everything will go smoothly now:)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I dont know why every 1 keeps saying you need the key to get to plugger!If your a rogue you can pick the lock!if you cant pick you dont need to be in brd!cause your skills as a rogue suck!You need at lease 250 lockpick skills to open doors in brd!Lockpicking is part of being a rogue so if u go to brd and cant pick locks you need to choose another class!So take your none rogue @$$ back to redrigde (lakeshire lake)and get to work!non lockpicking rogues!only place you need keys are in the coffer house losers!and if lakeshire is to low 4 your skills go to MARA IN THE SEA OR BADLANDS!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

2 rogues 60 lvlstealth sneak on mob and after focus him we vanish
we dont pull away other mobs ..we just keep attacking plugger

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hmm.... this is off topic, but how do you get the key to the door behind him?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

At last I got this dagger dropped...

I got in on my 17th (+/-) run, I was very happy to get it :)

While farmind it I olso got a 14 slot container dropped from one of pluggers :)

GL you ppl with this drop

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've had the opportunity to see a picture of this. I'll see if I can post a link in a little while.

From what I recall, it basically looks like a broken wine bottle. It has a dark-purple texture to it, and looks rather subtle when held in the main hand. On the end you can see the serrated edges from where the glass broke off.

Pretty wicked looking, with uber-awesome stats, but somewhat understated as far as appearances go. If you're into big, flashy weapons this one might seem a bit underwhelming. A nice crusader, weapon damage, or life-stealing enchant might help spruce it up.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Here is an frontal view of the barman shanker, ehanced with looks to be a weapon damage (possibly +4 dmg) enchant.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

40 runs, 9x Jumper Cables, 8x Mixologists Tunic 0x Barman Shanker

Kommentar von Allakhazam

What happened to this after 1.8?

edit: They screwed up the ambush and BS speeds :(

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got mine in 3 runs, a run takes about 15 min. I was lvl 57 with a friend rogue lvl 60. It was a piece of cake, just make sure to throw the beers to pull them all, because killing spazz with other lvl 50-52's(non elite) complicate things. BTW he is immune to stuns, so just kick him when he prepare to cast something. His spells hurt.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

My friends brother is a 60 full Mc geared rogue, so he said he'd help me get it. We stealth runned it and he killed him with ease and it dropped on the second run. I fell sorry for those that took 10 runs to get it !

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got this on my first run, soloed him as well. Got it the second AND third time for 2 of my guildies. That´s 3 times in a row. I have killed him many, many times after that but it has not dropped since.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Take a better look, the damage that it deals makes it arguably the best backstabber in the game.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It took me and a friend 10 runs before we both got it, 2 runs after him then i got it. Btw im lvl 55 with MoD and he is 57 and we could make it easy, especially with imp. sap when u have to open the forge thingie.

Good luck guys

Kommentar von Allakhazam

After spending an hour getting a three Rogue group together to kill the architect for the key, we went after this and got 2 out of 3 attempts within about 10 mins. Go figure.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

just got this on my rogue, level 50 =)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Imo, this is the best ambush dagger in the game. Highest crit I've had with this was 2181 :) Got it on my 3rd or 4th run, lvl 54. I'll have to say thanks to my GM for going with me, I love this dagger!

60 Rogue

Kommentar von Allakhazam

A few hours ago me (52 rogue) and my friend (60 druid) went on our own quest to kill Plugger and get our (my) hands on the Barman Shanker.
So we went and i allmost got killed by some 56 elites but i managed to Vanish away from there attack.

Finally we reached Plugger, pulled all the other barmen and killed Plugger - Looted him and saw Barman Shanker pop up, and now it's mine, on the first run ;)

YAY

Kommentar von Spacebake

Just got this in wow classic, took me 55 Plugger kills.

I think the 10% drop chance is probably more like 5%.

I spoke to 2 other rogues who had the dagger,
one said it took him 45 kills, the other got it on the 3rd kill (Lucky bastard).
