Ogre-Slaying Knife

What's really the purpose of one? From what I've seen, they're horrible >_>

It's a joke based on a D&D skit by the Dead Ale Wives. "The Darkness" enemies you fight in Tombs are also based on the same skit.

Pretty much what aero said, the only way you can put it to any use is illusionary weaponry maybe?

or assassin midgrade weapons in faction.

Why would you use it with IW? You can't put an enchant mod on it.

Just a collector's item. Nothing special here.

- Has no extra attack speed contrary to popular belief.
- +9 to trolls. I guess it can be used for farming trolls outside of Droks?

Ogres, not trolls.

I wish I had one

well, if ogres come in factions, its a 10-13 0 req sword

Lol, ya, that was gonna be my point. They'll turn around and put ogres in factions and watch everyone start scrambling and paying mad mony to buy one.

Hehe, that´s exactly what I´m hoping for. I have one but don´t know what to do with it. Í can´t use it and it´s not worth much. I´ll just hang on to it at the moment...

This brings up an interesting question. Is the +9 vs. Ogres like additional skill damage, where it ignores armor? I would think so...

hey wheres, the cheetos, roll to see if i'm getting drunk yet..

Then how come you had to cast Magic Missile?

I've gotten a few in Tombs, but I'm hanging on to one. It's just cool. I did try it out on gargoyles outside of Ascalon and it did work pretty well on them. Of course they were level 3-4 and I was level 20, but....

I just love that reproduction of the skit. The 8-bit one.

Having bought two and thought could have duel wielded them, nope.

"Ogres? Man, I've got an ogre-slaying knife. It's got a +9 against ogres."
"You're not there! You're getting drunk!"

I've never laughed so hard. =)

I was attacking the darkness, hey roll the dice to see if i'm getting drunk yet.

its even funnier if u find the other version of it lmoa. think its on a dvd but i cant remember where ive seen it before.
