I bought this sword at lvl 57 pld and have been tanking on it since. Now a 66 pld I decided to sell this thing for an espadon. I didn't really see a difference in my tanking while I owned it. Bought it for 250k selling it for 350k :). Decent chunk of change. It's not a bad sword to use for those lvls but once you hit 66 it's time to trade up. Got my maat fight comin up soon and I need more DD gear for pld. Not a bad sword, try it out. And there is no hidden Def - stat. [link=null][/link]
I have seen alot of people stating that this sword isnt worth the stat, attack acc and dmg down effects it gives in trade for Vit+ and hidden attributes.
It is my opinion that this to be truth. dmg holds hate. The more hate you have the dmg you take so you can cast cure and take more hate.
Personaly i would go with the Wise Wizards Anelace or the TME+1,2. since you get more dmg and better acc. on a mob with it.
Dont get me wrong, the Gutt sword is a nice peace of weaponry. However i think that it isnt worth the gil asked for it. Farm it if you would like this piece added to your collection.
You will soon find out that it isnt all that it is cracked up to be.
So...everyone thinks the gluttony sword is teh 1337? Honestly, it's not, when brought into consideration that 2 points in VIT equals 1 point of defense...it's just not that much...uh oh, watch out! 3.5 defense points!!!! This sword is slower than almost any sword I've come across..and if you're not using a LifeBelt since VIT is soooo precious well then, I bet you have fun just swinging at air with this over priced burden. If you want to keep and hold hate, get a sword that deals more damage over all and doesn't sap your other stats. I use a T.M.E. +2 and if I ever feel like getting one, I'll go kill the NM. Honestly, if you feel the sword is that pivotal to your role as a PLD, then go kill the NM. And if people call you a n00b for not using a Gluttony, I would say respond, but it's not worth the effort.

You sir, are an idiot. VIT does so much more than add defense. Go read some FAQs on the damage formula and how mob damage is calculated.
Well i did paladin to avoid the high costs of melee gear (emp pin, leap boots, SH). but this lil sucker caught me. 1mill when i bought on seraph an is 600k now >.<;;. took about about a week of mining. IMO its OK but just OK. the VIT+ adds on noicely to current VIT and defesne but its overrated for even 600k. i'm sure no1 will BS if u dont have, and 71 u can get a betta sword for like 15k.
You spawn the NMs by trading a "Flint Stone" to a "Tallow Candle" .. There are 7 you need to light total spread through out The Eldieme Necropolis. This particular NM is reached by going through the (G-7) Entrance of Battalia Downs.
You can do all 7 using the same Flint stone its not lost in the trade. and its said there is a one hour cool down before you can trade to the candle to spawn them again.
I don't know if this info is up.. didn't feel like siftin through all the server price qoutes.. but here it is in all its glory for other pld intereseted in gettin it and not knowing where to look for the info on it.
meh sum ppl give me loads of BS bout this sword like it has hiddeneffect of def down BLASPOMY im PLD60 ive used gluttony sword for a month and ive seen nought of this "hidden effect" so to ne one else who "thinks" Gluttony Sword has hidden effect it doesnt end of story
I saved up for a while for this bad boy, and let me just say.. the VIT+7 is well worth it! I still use it, at 66PLD in PT's! My main focus for Paladin hasn't been doing damage, as that's not the job description :P It's been 100% focused on 2 primary responsibilities.. Getting and KEEPING hate and being able to take a pounding! LOL. I highly recommend this sword, as I haven't died all that much, fortunately, since obtaining this weapon 9 Levels ago! I intend to keep on using it until I hit level 71, and then upgrade! (Note: This is my weapon of choice for xp PT's, I use different gear when soloing than in my profile). Yes, it IS expensive, but it's so worth it, if you have only 1 big purchase until level 70+, I'd recommend this sword.
I'm a Lv61 PLD and honestly this sword is not as great as everyone claims it is. Honest to god the VIT is very nice, but considering w/ a nice amount of T.tacos and any other sword you can tank just as well, if the sword is above 600k on your server, dont even bother wastin your valuable time getting it unless you got loads of gil and 600k aint gonna kill your wallet. I know a lot of you are going to ready this and say stuff like "OMG How can he trash this wonderful sword?!" or "This guys a moron and shudn't get party invites." Well 1, like I said, it is not all that great, and 2, considering I've tanked w/ and w/o the sword and saw no drop or gain in my tanking, I have to say I know what I'm talking about. Let me know some of your results in your own tests on tanking involvin this sword. Peace.
I agree; this sword is quite overrated for the price it fetches. The Gluttony sword is a one-trick pony, nice for PLDs in experience parties but absolutely terrible for any sort of non-experience-related combat except maybe for certain situations where kiting with an earth staff somehow isn't the better choice.
Frankly, I was underwhelmed by the change this sword had in my tanking. It has the highest delay of any one-handed sword, it drains stats, and the money you spend on it could otherwise go to getting you some pretty nice +VIT/+def food for many, many levels' worth of exping. From a subjective analysis, I really didn't notice much difference in my damage-taking between it and my trusty TME +1. I'm keeping the Gluttony sword because I'm certain the +7 VIT is worth it in exp situations, but I don't think I'll have this sword for very long past level 66.
Those of you who have or are about to get a Gluttony sword, it's hardly a perfect replacement for a TME +1; you'll find, as I did, that you'll be switching back to your TME +1 when not in an experience party. Hang onto it!
I must have been gone a long time. This was 100-150k on Bahamut when I got mine. Last time my friend looked it was well over 400k. I guess I need to get a PT to get this again.
I am only 34 pld but i recently checked price on Jeuno and it was like 300k, now seeing the horror stories of 15mil like on fairy, im not sure but should i buy this sword early incase it suddenly jumps in price?
Damn price is rising in Odin server, youst to be 500k flat, not its 700-900k sheez! I gotta get gil for it quick before it goes up even more, can anyone suggest any way to make some good gil. Im a 49pld by da way.
Would it be possible to keep Tactician Magician's Espadon and use the Memento Muffler and get similar result to the Gluttony Sword? Memento Muffler is dirty cheap and even TME+1 is affordable. Any thoughts?
850k on garuda and rising >.< Anyone know if the drop rate on gluttony sword from gluttony skull is sucky or not? Do you have to spawn all skulls at once? Is it worth it or should i just farm up another 350k....
