Beckett Massive Online Gamer Magazine Giveaway

[Child]

<p>Beckett Massive Online Gamer Magazine is giving away promotional codes for a free appearance only staff item called "Ssraeshza Observer's Staff".  The issue is the May/June 2010 issue, with the giant picture of Spock from Star Trek on the front cover. The staff has a overall wood-like moving picture, like it constantly is surrounded by liquid wood, if that makes sense.</p><p>A close up on the weapon, and a picture of it in non-combat:</p><p><img src="http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/9894/eq2000321.png" width="181" height="230" /> <img src="http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/2327/eq2000320.png" width="107" height="300" /></p><p>And a picture of me fighting a Wadi Scavenger in Sundered Frontier, to show it gives a greatstaff appearance. Note that I put it over a 2 handed Fighting stick, so as long as it's two handed, you can use it for appearance. No need to have a real greatstaff in it's place.</p><p><img src="http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/2589/eq2000322.png" width="300" height="280" /></p>

<p>Is it one per account?  Per character?  It looks REALLY nice!</p>

[Iamken]

<p>It's one per character. I'm loving it too! =)</p>

[Iamken]

<p>Devs, could we please have the option to turn this into a house item? Over half of my characters cannot use this and I hate to see it go to total waste just sitting in the bank.  Thanks! =)</p>

<p>i like it too, but i'd have perfered a "bo of flowing blood" type of effect personally.</p><p>this thread will eventually be moved to Community News, once the person that said they would checks their pm box <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>I wish it were convertable between 2 and 1 hand while retaining the 2 hand graphic.</p>

<p>Since 2hander itemization is still broken for almost all classes this item is basically a waste for almost all classes.</p><p>Just sayin</p>

So we rarely have the chance to use a 2 handed appearance weapon if we can use it because, well, our 2 handed weapon choices are craptastic in comparison to other options. I'd rather be able to use a 2 handed weapon appearance OVER a 1 handed. Please.....they said it could be done last dev chat.</p>

[Rhak]

<p>I totally agree about the 1 hand verses 2 hand weapon thing.</p><p>And that said - the item looks really cool. Here's to hoping it becomes a house item sooner instead of later.</p>

<p>Looks like this one, which I think is Staff of the Great Serpent:</p><p><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a230/calthine/staff_front.jpg" width="397" height="669" /><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a230/calthine/staff_back.jpg" width="379" height="675" /></p>
