New weapons for thief?

[Omena]

Harpe DMG:29 Delay:210
Lv.68 WAR/THF

Perseus' Harpe DMG:32 Delay:215
Lv.68 WAR/THF

This is what I found on Mysterytour. They seem a bit (ok a lot) too strong for daggers, so I'm guessing they're just throwing weapons, but you never know.

betting it's some kinda crossbow or bow

Digging and research is pointing towards knife. Read the first post then mine at the bottom.

If you look on mysterytour they have them listed as daggers. That's probably right.

[Drynavere]

They are indeed daggers... they look like a mini hand held scythe, or at least the Harpe that was on AH on alexander did. It's rare, and appears at the very bottom of dagger list.

Anybody have a going price on them yet?

[vudoodoodoo]

Perseus's Hapre has Mandau type damage rating. And we all know how Mandau is pretty much impossible to obtain...

3mil on seraph.

Only 3-mil? oO Wow....that's really cheap for something so....*splat*

AH doesn't even list it on Midgardsormr...but damn, I need to farm a lot for that one.

It drops from a Corse nm named Citipati in F-8 in Attowa Chasm. Perseus' Harpe is the upgraded version of it. It is rumoured to also be slashing and non-piercing grade weapon, meaning it receives no penalty against bones.

How hard is the corse?

Perseus' Harpe DMG:32 Delay:215
Lv.68 WAR/THF

Royal Guard's Fleuret Sword DMG 33 Delay: 215
Lvl 55 RDM/DRG

These have same delay, almost same damage. I don't think that 32 DMG on a dagger is overpowered if it has a higher delay. If it was 32 DMG 193 DLY, that's a bit overpowered...

[Tythera]

One sold on Midgardsormr for 15 million, but who knows if it was just to a mule or a friend, or an actual sale. As for Corses, aren't they about VT to level 75s? If so that puts the NM at fairly to really hard (level 85ish?).

It is a question of weaponskill, though. In the low levels when sword skill and dagger skill are very close, swords are invariably better. Substantially more damage for very little additional delay. Later on, it becomes difficult to justify using swords, despite their better damage::delay stats because of the ever-widening skill gap.

Getting an end-game dagger with sword-level damage is just obscene (and outstanding). I would point out that before CoP, the strongest dagger in the game (not counting the fully-upgraded dynamis dagger) was a behemoth's knife +1, which has never sold at an AH on Fairy, had 26/201 damage delay.

Now there's a level 69 dagger with +3 damage for only 9 more delay? And a HQ version with +6 damage and only 14 more delay? Do you know how many levels it takes for dagger damage to go up 3 points??? I'm at 62 and the next dagger with more damage is level 69! and that's just one more point!
