    Default More unique Dwarven axes and maybe a change in the high end loot drops.

    I was going through the static loot list and noticed that there is only one named dwarven axe. Now there might be other weapons that are just as few but I wasn't going to go through and look for every weapon. There is a dwarven axe called Sever that drops in Tome of the Untold Legends. While in Mindsunder alone there are 20 Dream Edges and 5 Rah's Might. Each one a little different but they are all kama's and quarterstaffs respectively. The only way I see to get any special dwarven axes is to craft greensteel but then all weapons can be greensteel from what I've seen.

    As for high end loot there is nothing more annoying then a level 20 character getting a +1 weapon or +1 stat item from a level 18 to 20 quest. I was getting similar items at around levels 12 to 15. the only main difference between the items was the minimum level requirement. I would suggest keeping the +1 and 2 stuff for the low to mid levels and the +3 to 5 stuff to the mid to high end. Most 18 to 20 characters would more than likely keep the +4 or 5 items and either sell the +3's in the AH or to the vendors.

    Unique chest loot, exotic weapons:

    Unique khopeshes: 1, Allegiance
    Unique Repeaters: 1, Hobble's Crossbow
    Unique Bastards: 3, Charoush's Inferno, Savage Sword, Prysuul's Bane
    Unique Kamas (sans what you've mentioned): 2, Ral's Wrath, Redemption

    Exotic weapons are in short supply all around, it's not just dwarven war axes. There hasn't truly been a wide amount of people who use exotic weapons because it's very specific to builds; in that same vein, making a named khopesh is probably out the window simply because it's the most powerful base weapon in the game.

    It should also be pointed out that most of these are worthless, aswell.

    Getting a +3 dwarven axe of greater dwarf bane is a bit wierd to get from the vale.

    Seeing more stuff that makes a bit of sense would be nice.

    It is just wierd to see this type of weapon combo.
    Disappointed and without trust in the powers that be.

    Sadly DDO loot system/chest rewards is really bad,I would hate to work for these guys as I feel they would be really cheap. =P

    Nothing like doing a Elite,very long and hard group/raid quest to get a +1 Acid Longsword at the end.

    They really need more armor enchants, especially outfits/robes. I've been grinding all the latest quests--I've actually ransacked the quest rewards--looking for decent handwraps, and there are only two flavors of outfit/robe:

    Deathblock of Greater <Elemental> Resistance

    and

    Deathblock of Spell Resistance 19

    I kid you not. It's sad.

    I have one of those which also has RR Dwarf on it.
    Must have been forged by a dwarf with some kind of racial identity crisis.

    Fearsome, Guards, Magi, xxxBlock, False Life all come on standard Loot tables.

    You can always play the Dragontouched lottery as well or obtain a Relic or Dragonscale robe.


    As far as DPS weaponry goes, Anything that drops from the loot table can pretty much be eclipsed by Shroud crafting.

    Turbine could put 20 more Named DA's inthe game that matched stats with various longswords, Greatswords, Mauls, battleaxes and scimitars and no one would use them.


    oh, and BTW, a DA of Greater Dwarf Bane even RR Dwarf should not be uncommon. Although I'm not well versed on Eberron Lore, I would be shocked if there wasnt some pretty major Civil or Clan War in its history. There certainly are in other settings.

    Yes I have Falcata's in the bank for what I no clue?

    1. Falcata - Is really a poor weapon anyway as there are a lot better non-named weapons (even at lvl 8) +4 True law +2 cha is not such a good even for a level 8 pally would consider it vendor fodder.
    2. Allegiance - also poor ... it grants Khopesh proficiency and elf bane not something a Khopesh weilder would use.
    3. Chaosblade - (Weapon) +5 Khopesh, Lesser Vampirism, Anarchic, True Chaos, the only interesting weapon and one must be Chaotic or have enough UMD for - narrows builds, this weapon is actually live in epic form.


    ... so come Khopeshes green steel is it.

    Now Dwarf axes

    • Sever - (Weapon) +5 Dwarven Axe, Keen, Limb Chopper, Destruction - is a fun weapon has some purpose.


    ... so come Dwarf Axes green steel is it.

    Fact be... if I go thru bastard swords, falchions, longswords and even great swords

    Exception may be Carniflex on lowbies, The SoS on near mid levels, enduring conviction is ok and maybe deathnips and along with Sever are somewhat special and unique... near all the rest trash...

    ... I come back and say green steel is it.

    So to the OP is not just Dwarf axes...

    I s'pose I should consider myself lucky that the caster stuff doesn't show up on my quest rewards.

    I should have mentioned, this is from the perspective of a pure Monk with class rewards on. I have seen Fearsome once or twice, but that's garbage. Haven't seen any Guards, which does surprise me. No False Life either. I can't explain it, for running the new level 19 and 20 quests (Normal, alone), I just get offered the stuff I previously mentioned. Maybe I'll start writing it down to have hard numbers to back up my statement.

    What they need is a system to randomly generate named items. Add an extra mod without an increase in level on a weapon, slap on a randomly chosen name, instant named items.
