Sirius Axe

[Paegan]

There has to be some hidden effect, I mean c'mon, we know SE are stupid but they're not *that* stupid.

Are they?

You're doing it wrong.

..do I really have to go on? There's tons more where it came from.

Guys, youre completly over analyzing. This axe is simply SEs ways to make BST on par with WAR. Cant you see with this axes sheer amount of DMG and incredibly low delay, it makes TP burn PTs want to invite BST?

I mean come on, its a BST only axe, it rivals the best of the best axes! If PTs want to see this fine weapon in action, the HAVE to invite BST!


Seriously though, there is no hidden, dont fool yourselves into thinking SE would throw BST a bone.

sup Juggernaut. sup Temperance Axe.

Or even if you didn't want to carry stacks of virtue stones, there's still Woodville's.

Wood/Jugg is the same thing any other WAR used in a TP burn. Some use Maneater if they can't afford Juggernaut, and some have Ridill in place of Woodville's. But those are the two best AHable axes, and a BST could always use them, too.

One theory I heard was the hidden effect was to let you charm those scropions in Halvung because Sirus was the constellation that chases something or another. Sorry I don't remember the reason for the theory but it was posted in BG awhile ago.

Kind of pointless, given that Scorpions are already charmable.

[Delekii]

Halvung scorps arent, but I dont see that as a realistic hidden effect... not hard to test i guess.

[Bagel]

So is Hydra dropping meat as well now?

[Mufferino]

yep we got 2 fang 2 meat 1 scale yesterday, still need the recipe for it though.

[Tordall]

The rumor I heard was that Sirius axe had a damage boost simliar to a Company Sword, but is affected by the number of pets in the party.

Unfortunately, I don't have one, so I can't test it.

[Aodh]

BST/SMN/lolPUP/lolDRG Parties?

[TsingTao]

That would be easy enough to test. Right back to crit hit damage cap on W.Ron bunnies, add a BST friend & pet and repeat.

[miokomioko]

Either way, this axe is no joke...

I wouldn't be so sure about that just yet.

Was I too subtle? That was my joke, arrrgh~

[XaocRamuh]

Just a smidge to subtle for some, but I think most got it.

[Kyreth]

So... got it off Hydra yesterday and have been frantically searching for some kind of info on any hidden effects. Theres a million theories and I tested tons of stuff last night with insignificant results. Any suggestions on things i should do to test or has anyone seen or heard any specific things about it?
Also until yesterday we never saw this drop from Hydra, is it a insanely rare drop from Hydra or maybe just added to his drop list with the update, most sites list a mamool ja NM as "supposedly" dropping this.

Anyway here it is... kinda bland either its got a hidden effect or its used in a recipe for an item that doesnt exist yet is what i think.

Aside from your image being dead, Somepage lists it as dropping off Dragonscaled Bugaal Ja rather than Hydra. So how "sirius" were you when you posted this?

This may help you.

guess imageshack sucks.

anyway testing is fruitless still ; ;

anyone know any ??? that havent been determined to do anything yet? maybe its a pop item. ive been comparing results on damage per hit to the darksteel pick with same base dmg and so far its the same thing, i havent been able to charm anything i couldnt previously and solo/full party hasnt proved anything fun... pretty stumped so far

[Ddong]

so this drop of the nm listed in somepage and this guy is lying or what?

[Khamsin]

People have killed a lot of NMs a lot of times before, so we know what they drop by now. I doubt SE went and adjusted a bunch of NMs loot pools.
