This item is VERY worth getting for Mages and Warlocks. It adds to the already impressive crit chance of mages with the right frost builds. Gizlock isn't that much farther down from the Princess and he has some notable drops for other classes, like the shaman/paladin shield. So get your groups to kill him, because it's worth it!

Older versions of this sword had intellect and some stamina too, I believe, but they cut it back to just 1% crit. Which is now the 14 crit rating that you see on there now.

14 crit rating works out to be:
1.3% crit at 48.
1% crit at 60.
0.63% crit at 70.

i would like to add that any caster interested in this weapon would also find the spellbound tome interesting. it drops in scholomance from Ras Frostwhisper. they go well together

Kommentar von Thottbot

The crit chance is the only +spell power stat you can get on any 1-hander (besides green daggers of x wrath) at this level, so it's still a strong choice for a lvl 48 mage or warlock. It'll be less usable into the high 50s than was formerly the case, however; I used to prefer this for my warlock over, say, Mind Carver, which illustrates that Blizzard had a point nerfing the +int.

Damn bliz - its sword was a nice stat sword - they broke it... damn damn damn...

As a 52 Mage I fancied having this, but didn't want to go in a big group etc.

With a lvl60 friend, either priest or pala, you can sneak in and get it - here's how.

First off you need the staff that drops you in the right spot for the princess run. Your lvl60 friend should have this. :p

After you port in, turn around and run to the entrance that has 2 big yellow flowers, avoiding all the hydras. (Best to consult a map.)

Now drink your swiftness potion and take off all your clothes because you are going to die. But the trick is to get really close to the tinkerer before you do. So shield up and run like hell, blink, whatever. Your lvl60 friend stays where he is.

With luck you can get right to the tinkerer, but if you get silenced you may get killed before. The first lot of snakes is a good place to die.

Then your friend sneaks in, as lvl60 you can get past everything without getting any aggro if you are careful. He gets in a good spot and rezzes you. If you are not at the tinkerer yet then do another run and stand down in the corner just out of his range and so that you won't attract the stone patrol. Wait for all the mobs you've pulled to kill you.

Your mate runs up and rezzes you again. Now kit up and buff - get ready to take out the tinkerer. Wait for the patrol to pass so that you will have enough time to kill him. Killing is faster with the priest but a pala would be fine too.

The tinkerer drops the shield, bow and sword each with 1/3 chance so you may need to farm him a bit. If you don't get the sword first time, then take all your gear off again and go pick a fistfight with something big. When you die, run back to the instance, get out, disband. Reform the group and run back to the spot to use the staff for the princess run.

Repeat until you get the sword - it took me 3 attempts. Each run takes 20-25 minutes. The good news is that if you don't get the sword the bow and shield sell quite nicely to vendors and as long as you aren't wearing your clothes when you die you won't get any major repair bills.

Of course you can sneak in by yourself if you are already level 60 and a good mage could probably take him out solo. My 52 mage and friend's 60 priest had no trouble at all killing him.

Priest can`t use swords...

hehe i got reall lucky im a really lazy lock- dont start a new conversation on this- but i had Emberstone staff till lvl 48ish (first char) it was embbarasing yeah anyways i ran mara for my second time and got REALLY lucky, i was the only cloth user in group (pally healing) and we staffed in to the falls. Killed princess, i got Eye Of Theradras, i was really excited/happy and we dropped down to kill rotgrip- i got Rotgrips mantle. by now my group is freaken out(not mad just saying how lucky i am) and i was about to log. The pally begged me to help kill the goblin so i stayed, the sword dropped :) three great weapons in one short run i loved it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Me (lvl 60 war) and a friend (lvl 59 lock) are going to run mara so he can get this. It is a little dated for a 60 lock to be using but the crit chance is nice. Should take about 15 minutes if we do it right.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Spell crit rating increases the percent chance you will get a crit. It does not increase the crit amount.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Hunter's arcane shots have been changed as per expansion (and the patch before it). Arcane shot's damage amount is now influenced by AP, NOT spell dmg.

Also, arcane shot's crit% chance is influenced by your ranged crit%, not spell crit%.

Also, there is not such thing as a melee hunter that does notable DPS. You might as well get a rogue to shoot at something with a ranged weapon.

Also, someone said something about spell crit% affecting serpent sting. Serpent sting is a DOT. DOTs do not crit.

Also, some people keep saying that hunter shots are spells and so are affected by spell damage/crit. The only hunter shots affected by spell dmg used to be arcane shot and serpent sting. Notice I said used to be because arcane shot is not anymore. Multi/aimed/auto/steady shots all do physical damage, which are (guess what) not affected by spell dmg.

%spell crit = useless by itself. Arbiter's Blade is better now that it has been buffed and this has been nerfed

Kommentar von Allakhazam

that glow can't be +9 int because thats for 2h weapons, I've never seen a +int enchant on a 1h weapon or just "+int to weapon" otherwise I'd be all over that =D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This dropped today! I rolled a 37...then some rogue decided it was better suited for him and rolled a 47 on it...

UGH!

Off to yet another princess run.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

What's really funny to me is that I've seen him drop the sheild three times and the gun three times...but he hasn't dropped the sword yet.

It's only a matter of time and if you're just running him he's not too difficult to get to at least, so I'll keep running him.

I can't complain though, I've gotten the caster helm from the princess and rotgrip's mantle...I just need this sword and I'll be set.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i have been in maraudon 5 days straight now..
to get this damned sword.. but it NEVER drops for me.. im so sick of maraudon now:P nice pvp sword for us casters :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

that glow is +22int ench...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've been to maraudon for about a 100 times with my Schamane, but never saw this thing drop. With my new Char (Mage) I went in and it dropped on the first run!

But another Question... What Item wears the Char in the Screen in Off-Hand? Looks cool ^^

Edited, Mon Jun 20 11:44:37 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

After about 10 Maraudon runs this thing finally drops, the hunter and warrior pass, the mage and myself (warlock) roll on it and.... the paladin rolls, wins, then has the nerve to say "oh sorry! can I take my roll back?" Even after the mage and I had a discussion in the group about we came looking for this sword, the paladin still rolls on it anyway. Why is it that whenever someone tries to ninja something, their roll always happens to be the one that wins?

I haven't set foot in Maraudon since.

EDIT: the paladin admitted to not having use for it. I think he just wanted to see "how cool it looks"

Edited, Fri Jul 8 14:58:17 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This thing has dropped 5 instances in a row, I want that darn gun! lol. Really nice sword though.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The glow in the picture is from a demon or fire enchant... the sword, as dropped, does nto glow at all. Looks kind of lame too for such a good mage sword! (looks a bit like a "shortsword of xx' type low lev weapon)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Actually, the yellow glow is from the high-end Intelligence enchantment. Demonslayer and Fiery both glow with an orange flame.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

As of patch 1.10, Blizzard is nerfing this item. The int is being removed from it and it's just gonna be +1% spell crit.

: \

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I don't think it's that great. For its level, I guess its alright, but the %crit comes into play the most in PvP. Before you're 60, you shouldn't waste time on PvP. I take the charstone dirk over this.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

definitely a caster sword, dunno why a pally would roll on it, they dont have offensive spells to make good use of the + crit on it...

cant wait to get this on my mage =)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

... if you are collecting a set of gear to be back-up healer (or even main healer in a pinch).

This sword with a the mentioned +22 Int enchant gives 280 mana pts. If you have the crit heal talents (11 pts in holy), with my lvl 50 paly which can crit heal for > 1800, it works out to an average mana-free +18 to healing.

This is the best 1H you can get until the Hand of Edward the Old or the Aurastone Hammer (both epics from end-game instances).

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just saw a Rogue using this ;E
He's going straight to hell...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

My Warlock came across this, and both the warrior and the rogue in my party rolled on it. The warrior got it.

Is there any reason for a warrior or a rogue to want this, other than for the DPS? Would "spell crit" increase the chance for their abilities to crit?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

dont you just hate it when there is one item in an instance you want, noone wants to help you get it, and when it finally does drop, a mage (who hasnt even learned swords yet) rolls and wins the damn thing!

everyone wants to always do LFG PRINCESS!

people should do LFG GIZLOCK!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i have been running mar every nigth to get this sword and still no drops...the only thing he ever drops for me is the damn gun - which i never win the roll on either so i can't even sell that....

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've done 7-8 Mauradon runs now it hasn't dropped yet. On all runs that stupid Paladin/Shaman Shield drops.

I just let out a roar of Curse Word against Shaman/Paladin items!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

doesnt matter how much +dmg you have, 1% crit is always 1% dmg for casters that get 2 times the dmg on a crit :P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got this sword a few days ago and i really like it. I was suprised that no one else on my group wanted it and i was glad to have gotten it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Nice caster sword for the level range, anyone who says this is a warrior or rogue weapon doesn't no anything about itemization. As a warrior or rogue a Thrash Blade is what you want out of Marudon.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Wonder if that glow is pre-augment..

Kommentar von Allakhazam

the glow is + spirit i think

Kommentar von Allakhazam

awesome weapon if used with shard of the green flame (warlock quest item)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

first run through maraudon today and it dropped. Had already stated my intentions to the group so they all passed. WOOT!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Gonna get this on my paladin ^_^

Kommentar von Allakhazam

So what can the glow be then? I just got mine and I want to get it enchanted soon.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

im soo getting this one for my lock :D

Kommentar von schneller88

As of this date 9/10/2019, if you have a lock in the party. You can have the warlock use the Eye of Kilrogg to aggro and pull the boss. I think because his character type is different (humanoid) none of the other mobs will aggro and he'll walk straight to the warlock.

Thus saving to clear/pull the entire room.
