it seems the lvl 59 - 61 are the real rare spells ... when KoS came out I saw em in the 1st two weeks on the brokers for insane pp but ever since then -> nothing <-  Same goes for Tap Vein ... <div></div>

[Xanoth]

only place 62 masters drop i think is TT, possibly really early parts of SoS.  which as a percentage is very small comapred to where people spend their time.<div></div>

I think this is a common problem of all lvl 60 spells.lvl 60 spells are rated as T6 spells but in the beginning of DoF they just didnt drop in any normal zones (rated as T7).They only dropped in Fountain Of Life and i believe PPTR as well, because at that time those zones were the only ones rated as "T7".If this was a bug or a design decision I dont know, but my guess is that it was bug.Since a few Live updates ago (i cant say for sure) this bug has been fixed, i have seen lvl 60 spells drop in other zones, for example in CoAA so my guess is that they can now drop in *any* T6 zones.And today, that is the problem, since most of the people now play in T7 KoS zones where Pox Sword will never drop (TT i still rated as a T6 zone though i believe).A bit sad that we got our offensive stance as a lvl 60 spell, but hey thats life <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Anyway, thats my thoughts <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

Tell me about it.  Since I'm sometimes doing the magetank thing, I really could use a master offensive spell.  I'm sure I'll never see it.<div></div>

Hi,I just bought Pox Sword Adept3 for 3pp from Qeynos broker with my Monk alt. In fact i by most of my SK Adept3 and Masters from the Qeynos side. I would recommend giving it a try.

[Margen]

<P>Mine is adept III, been looking for the master on broker/fence for months and never even seen it (along with our single target taunt).  I really wonder if it even drops, be intreasted in seeing if anyone has gotten the master.</P> <P> </P>

[Ultimatum]

<div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>I check the brokers daily mainly fo rthat spell as it is the only buff I don't have mastered....Definately the master I want most right now.  Here's a link of it:http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/5237/poxsword1ox.jpg<div></div><p>Message Edited by Razerblaze on <span class=date_text>05-25-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:57 AM</span>

Thats how it is in Unrest server. I get most of my masters and adept3s on the fence, in fact the fence has more SK spells and at a cheaper price most of the time. Hence why I made a swashie. 40% is a lot.....<div></div>

[Alevyan]

I Adept III'd it, I'm happy.<div></div>

[UnHoly Shad]

Got it tonight off the Master Djinn ^ ^ I guess T6 still has a purpose.

Well while we're on the subject of the stance-type spells......which would you prefer?  I'm new to the game as well, and I'm not sure when to use the offensive stance or the defensive stance.  I'm a 28 SK on the Nagafen server. Anyone have any advice? <div></div>

[Draq]

Bought mine today for only 13P!!! *jumpsaround* He told me they looted it in PP:Return.<div></div>

[Gape Master]

It has dropped twice for us.  Once in The courts, and once in the Pedestal of the Sky on Guk.<div></div>
