Adept Gear

[Thade]

So I have been doing all the adepts on untwinked alts for fun with some friends. And a few of the items just don't seem to fit.

First and foremost, Hagclaw. It drops off a max engage 25 mob with a recommended level of 31, has no item graphic, and is better than Sandtooth which drops off a level 32 max adept. If hag claw could be made not level 31 rec and have its ratio adjusted to not be better than a weapon that is clearly harder to obtain and maybe get a graphic, that'd be cool!

The disparity in the levels of those two items may in part be due to the Sandtooth being able to be equipped as range also, thus extending its useful life for saves and stats. It also can be used by casters. If anything the Sandtooth should have the same damage and maybe one less delay to make it a little more appealing.

I don't think Hagclaw is overpowered for the level though. It's barely better than a mithril weapon that a player of that level could afford after a little time spending making cash.

There are some odd things on many different levels though... farther apart than the above examples. Compare the piercer from Snowfang with the piercer from Pounders. Pounders is seriously lacking. Many posts have been made long ago. It's pretty sad for the mob it drops from especially when compared to other Pounder loot and Traek loot.

also sandtooth is a piercer, making it a possible progression piece for rogues at that level (that don't buy gear)

True. Tough to find good piercers as a rogue unless you dish out cash for them.
