I got this thing for 20k on Kujata XD I love it but they are sooo freaking rare on Kujata lol I just keep checking randomly and there it is! And its awsome! not recommended for lvling though.. as you do no DMG XD well.. I havent lvled it all the way im about 60 Scythe skill as a lvl 49 BLM Tarutaru so that can affect it I guess but for farming and skill up its soooo cool! And seeing a Tarutaru do Dark Harvest and do 170+ DMG AND skill up is pretty cool!
Just got this today for 100k on Ramuh server... it's worth every gil I paid for it! After getting this badass looking weapon, I went to Qufim to try it out on crabs as well as get a few skillups on it before farming anything. A little later my whm friend came to check out my new weapon, so we were running around Qufim killing anything we see and when we have tp, we'd do an Impaction SC and doing MB as well.. it was great fun XD!! This should be on every blm's to-buy list before they hit 46 =)
Must admit I picked one of these up for my BST, really just for skillup purposes.
I needed an incentive to get my scythe skill raised, and the other weapons of this class we can use at this level just look really ugly. This one looks cool, and skilling up with it is fun.
I don't know the exact levels yet of the mandibular scythe, I only know for sure that you definately need smithing and woodworking for this, but if i had to guess a lvl on each I'd say Woodworking 60 Smithing 52 It's probably known about this already but I figured i'd point it out. Just i didn't realize how much you actually needed sub-crafts until i tried crafting this at lvl 50 bonecraft.
To the ashaman guy: You stole the name i wanted.... And to the rest of you.... THF/BLM is the best farmer, and they can't use this scythe. So there. The scythe really only serves along with the demon mask to make all the lil BLMs look like drks.
Alot of ppl seem mad that BLM can use Sythe and Dagger, even some swords... I think the Rune Great Axe, a BLM can use ^^, but WHM get the extra WS on Wands/Clubs, they get to use Maces, and Most shields, wile BLM is stuck with Fiari(sp?) and some other costy shields, I kinda moved off topic... >< I so want this for when i get up a few lvls >< Its sooo cool... 46... Wish i could afford teh Ivory Sicle(sp?) but I have only seen 1 or 2 in the AH history on Asura....
i just reasontly made a second character (mule) but im going to lvl his blm for farming (-aga spells = mega farmer) so im gunna get this to wack things with :D itll be soo awsome if anyone of slyph wants to pl my tarutaru his name is Ashaman
Actually, no...mages do NOT make good farmers. Using magic to cast spells affects the drop rate. I've tested this with crawlers in Maze of Shakrami...using magic, I got maybe 1 drop an hour of silk thread. Using melee...I got 4 in a row. It's up to you, but I'd rather just whack them, and get better drops ^_^
The only reason to own this scythe is if you are a 46+ blm and you farm. That is why SE instituted it into the game, not so Black Mages can pretend that they are drk's. So, with that in mind all you BLM's out there, Just sit back with your stat boosting weaponry, and give your parties WHM a break on the raises^^ your party will appreciate it.
onley prob with this scythe its so hard for a BLM to skill it up. Im a 62BLM and its onley at 144 but i can do Slice ,Dark Harvest, Nightmare Scythe, and Spinning Scythe
There's so many better scythes out there that only blm should even consider buying it. You drk's can do better then this for a weapon. And if ur a blm like i am, plz dont try to melee with this during a pt, just pull our ur staff or club and sit back lol.
Okay i just read all the posts on here where people bought the scythe for hundreds of thousands and millions of gil!!! On valefore about the 3rd week it was out i hit 46 and got it for 25k
This is great, but as a BST I'll keep my Falcastra (+4 DEX -4 AGI). It's better for BST anyway, but man this is truly cool for a BLM ain't it ^^. Actually higher attack, although I'm sure BLM Scythe is low as hell.
