Yes it starts in EF. Its a quest drop from one of the mobs, not a bad weapon. Also, there are a couple other ones that drop there such as the War Ice spear. Same deal another kill 20 so and so mobs in EF and will do up to lvl 50. After that you will need to get a Tier 5 weapon because a lot of the mobs past 50 are immune to non-magical items. Also, make sure your skills are maxed in all combat arts due to the fact that raid mobs are usually immune to one type of attack. Another good weapon, a tactition's scepter wish I could remember where I got it from but im sure its on the broker somewhere.
