Thanks not one of you explained what Mercy Stroke does... some links, but can't open. All I read is (I want this)... I don't want it because I have no Idea what Mercy Stroke is.
Mercy Stroke is Thf's Relic Weapon skill. You can only use the weapon skill 'Mercy Stroke' with this dagger in your main hand!
mandau has the added effect of poison. mercy stroke dramatically increases the rate of cricitals after weapon skill. i forgot how long it last but i have seen it in action... amazing

Byne Bills are NOT used for rolling up and snorting Prism Powder through, and Prism Powder is NOT used for snorting. You should also probably stop dropping Jody's Acid.
For every 100% TP used (rounded down) you become Invincible (as per the PLD 2-hour) for 5 seconds
You tard, no it doesn't. That only kicks in every now and then, according to people who have it (one of which is a pld on my server). If you're going to try and flame people who are using mand and exc for an idea, at least know what you're talking about in the first place.
i have a question for you, how "according to people who have it(one of which is a pld on my sever)" be true if a PLD cant even use this f'ing dagger you dumbass, man get ur sh*t straight before u start callin ppl tards, ur the only tard on the site.
No kidding... as if you could magically use the WS for dagger when main is sword... There is no purpose to DW Excallibur and Mandau... other than to show off you have more gil than you know what to do with.
Look... People keep saying "Duel Wield" this with the Excalibur. Obviously this is probably a great plan. However, talking about using "Mercy Stroke" and if it can be used in the off-hand... What the hell is wrong with you? You do KNOW what "Knights of the Round" does correct? No? For every 100% TP used (rounded down) you become Invincible (as per the PLD 2-hour) for 5 seconds. Now unless the Mercy Stroke WS effect is something equally sick...
(i heard it just increases Criticals... which when you are using Excalibur and Mandau isnt great since you dont get crit damage from the "Additional effect" of the Excalibur...)
Look... People keep saying "Duel Wield" this with the Excalibur.
First off, you would have to be a red mage subbing ninja in order to offhand this, secondly, it's a little farfetched to offhand this, and like the other guy said, the invincible effect only kicks in every once in a while. Would be a semi-smart plan but I don't think you're able to obtain two weapon skills, especially having this in off hand I would think the effect is non-latent and also disables you from using the weapon skill since we're obviously offhanding it and mainhanding a sword. Not to mention, whatever type of weapon is in your main hand, it uses that type of weapon skills (club = club weapon skills, so on and so forth).
Its not shallow to judge someone based on how attractive they are to you, its hypocritical to pretend you don't do it every time you see a member of the sex of your particular preference.
This dagger is owned by a guy by the name of Cleen on Fenrir server. He isn't the richest, possibly far from it. It's just that his dynamis ls is a very well organized ls. From what I've heard they give the bills and stuff to people doing the upgrades and really commit to the ls. This way there ls grows stronger and stronger along with getting better strategies, more experience as a group, and more.

hey just wondering if any 1 knows what affects the mercy stroke WS. i mean like dancing edge's acc iss affected by tp and it has a chr modifier. shark bite has big dex modifier and its dmg is affected by tp and such, just wondering if any 1 has ANY idea what mercy stroke is affected by and how it is affected. maybe if someone can convince someone w/ this dagger on thier server to hold the cursor over the mercy stroke WS to see what affects it and take a pic of it?
#alexbadass,
Posted:Jan 08 2006 at 7:11 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) come on.. plz dosent one NA have this on any server? so far not one ive heard of having fully upgraded version, Im sure only japanese actually have relics so they dont post here :(
I would like this WS... for a signature weapon skill . >.> Best of all, i'm RDM and can learn this :D. Too bad Excalibur is probably a better choice than this for me right now.
Would that combo work? With the Martial in your main hand and Mandau in your other. Or do you need Mandau in your main hand to have Mercy Stroke? Cause that combo would just plain own. >.> then again Stylet+Martial would be damn good too.
/em is getting wet just thinking about the goodness. /drool XD

Then one day you meet him again..elsewhere. This time he is ready. He begins to rip you a new one. Just remember that when you wack that helpless bunny. o.0
"TP bonus" is bound to the weapon, so offhanding the martial would be about as useful as having a mandau in your mog safe since you don't do the ws with your offhand weapon. . .
Pld. Excalibur/Aegis. Brd Mandau/Gjallarhorn War Ragnarok/Bravura Sam Amanomurakumo/Yoichinoyumi Drk Ragnarok/Apocalypse Rng Yoichinoyumi/Annihilator i guess pld is the only one that can "dual wield", but theres enough relic to keep those jobs very busy.
Having a personal interest in the progression of this weapon. And considering at the time of this post allakhazam dosent have links for this information I have Compiled this listing.
This post is provided as is. All spelling mistakes and inaccuracies may or may not get corrected, however all shinies can and will be confiscated. =^.^= ~nyo!
Last up grade is a R.stripeshell or better known as the 10,000 peice, 1 thf on my server is already finished with it theres pics and vids of him using mercy stroke and pics of his dagger floating around KI
Everyone wants to see pics of the final Relic Weapons, well I got a hold of a website that has pics of people (very filthy rich ones) that already have the final product.
Rate up if you can, people rated me down cause i said i got a NM drop. if you dont believe me, check a NM page where someone didnt get rated down for it >.>

Anyone know if you can get one of these and a Batardeau? The weapons are rare/ex, but technically they are two different items. Can you upgrade two seperate relic daggers like this and go totally uber with this?
Technically.. yes you can... but i hope you've got a big wallet since current pricing puts upgrading it once all the way to about 10 million if not more.
the cost is actually a lot more then this. for some reason alla does not list the upgrade costs of the third and 4th form of the weapon. but it is said to be 40+ silverpieces for the 3rd form and 100 silverpieces for the forth form. this is what i have come to understand reading off of a ton of sites and compiling all the information. so it looks like a finished relic weapon could take 100mil + this does not seem that weird considering that the kraken club and other items can go for up to 40mil. and they are bought rather commenly. so if a mere 10 mil was the only holdback you would see alot of players weilding relics ^^

um, putting money apart you need to beat the living daylight outta a few special dynamis bosses (who aren't in the usual win or farming way) for some rare/ex drops .
Attestation of Celerity ("free" but drops off Hydra type mobs, and that's if you win lot on one of them, if you are allowed to lot on them at all (don't expect to unless you pony up party of the cost of the Hourglass. Doing so is a fast way to get booted and never be invited to another Dynamis run again)
Upgrades to Batardeau
Ornate Fragment (Drop from second tier bosses in Dynamis Xacabard after you clear the "normal" bosses - same as above, you gotta win lot, assuming you have paid for part of the hourglass)
Upgrades to Mandau, enjoy it because you certainly deserve it.
EDIT: Ugliest thing I've ever seen (I've seen it, I don't actually have it). Looks like an ornate, gold inlayed, engraved parrying knife with a jeweled hilt. It would look right at home on the hip of a russian czar.

Don't forget the 10,000 byne bills you need to pay for the last upgrade ; ;.
Couple corrections -- at least I think they're corrections and not misinformation. :)
Attestation is for Batardeau (and only from triggered NMs in Beaucedine). Fragment is for Mandau (and only from triggered NMs in Xarcabard).
Attestation drops from the Hydra NMs (not the random Hydras). I'm not 100% certain of this, since it's hard to prove a negative. But, I've been doing a lot of Beaucedine and never seen one from a non-NM Hydra. One *always* drops from the NM Hydras. They are called "Hydras" not because they look like dragons or the mythical hydra, but because they have more than one job. The NMs have 3 jobs.
BTW, just got my attestation today -- very lucky.
To put things in perspect for those that might want the final dagger, I've been doing Dynamis pretty much as often as possible for over a year (roughly twice a week for most of that time, once a week recently). From my share of drops, I have about 70 bills & coins. I need another 330 bills and 1330 coins. Obviously, if I want to upgrade I'll have to increase the rate at which I acquire currency or plan on doing Dynamis for another 15-20 years.
Looks like it's time to start farming gil and buying currency. ><
I love this dagger, but I can see someone putting it away when fighting HNMs or soloing something hard. Why? The poison effect. You would be unable to sleep the mob incase of trouble, and that would make you more of a liability than an asset.
