Decent 1-hander group attainable?

<p>Currently am using ancient velium 1H hammer + grizzfazzle's shield.</p><p>I will probably try to visit the shard of fear to get that new kite shield, but am curious if there is a better 1 hander I could be trying to work towards that is 1-group attainable.Any recommendations?</p>

That's not bad.  You might use one of the unrest drops.  Empowered ghoulbane (quest) does some extra damage against undead.  Adamantine doomhammer might be common in pickup labs raids.  The Lucanic Gladius (quest) would be far superior, but would require a good bit of time in castle mistmoore (single group) plus some deaths to get past the epicx2 guy.

was going to say that the best 1 hander you can get via a group is the lucanic gladius, but like wise, keep an eye to the broker as every now and then a Vilucidae's sword will show up to be sold, expensive, but other than the gladius is probably one of the better 1 handers in the game (and it's tradeable)

Lucanic gladius is really your only option. Infirmity, maybe. Stormhammer HQ reward would be a sidegrade. Don't bother with Emp Ghoulbane. It's tough to get better than ancient velium in one group content; ancient velium is trash loot from a 70x4 raid zone, after all.

<p>I like my Trumpy's Tankard. It's not awesome but, it totally suits my Dorfadin. I wouldn't say that the GB upgrade is a "don't bother". It's a nice divine debuff clicky for the macro bag. </p><p>The Lucy Gladius is the obvious answer to the first question though.</p>
