Le Whip

The Famed Le Whip has been found and returned! The next module update will reflect this change. In some sort of not-so-funny mix-up, Le Whip had been replaced by (gag me with a spoon) Ritualistic Whip.

I feel the need to point out that this is much more desirable of an item and worthy of the effort to get it. Even if you don't want to use it, it sells for a wad of gold. A "wad" is more than you can count, if you were wondering.

This was Sheelo's drop, but was given to Bebilith some time ago. It's hard to say which boss is harder to kill. A lot of that depends on you build, party and level.

Good hunting and good luck!

Nothing new about Bebilith. She was sent in by a player from Texas a few years ago. Can't recall his name now. As I already said, in
Ritualistic Whip
I moved some Boss drops around a few years ago. In that move I accidentally used the wrong whip on Bebilith. It took this long to be spotted. Now it's fixed.

Hiya Blade here,

What is the difference between the "Skill Bonus" on the Shark boots for example for Discipline, Tumble, etc.....and the "Decreased Skill Modifier" on Le Whip ?

I seem to remember reading somewhere in these threads that stuff like "Tumble Skill" was not affected by what was on the items that you equipped ?

What i remember reading seemed to imply that the skill level that you got at Level 40 + skill points gained after at Legendary levels = what skill points you have and that the items wouldn't affect this ?.......I am either a little confused / or just not understanding how this works.

Also may i add something about the "Whip Boss drop " just from my personal perspective ?

I see the "Whip" as an inferior choice as a "Weapon" but something that could be a great little "Accessory" (like your handbag) for a mage type. I have a "Ritualist Whip" on my Sorceror Build, and this is the +5 one with haste. This can be used with a cloak (no haste required here now) to improve spellslot numbers. In practice a Cloak without the haste on it can have an extra lvl 9 spell for a Max IGMS and an extra lvl 7 spell for a Max Lesser IMS. So extra firepower instead of using a weapon that you can't hit with anyway :)

However, although the Ritualistic Whip was to my view "More on the right lines" than the original "Sheelo drop Le Whip" , it didn't go far enough in my view. I would have liked a little more on it, particularly some "Regeneration" comes to mind.

So I see the whip choice as more of a "Poser " type choice than a serious weapon choice, and I am unsure as to whether or not it is healthy for the server to be dropping a weapon (Le Whip) that few would choose as a weapon to equip, just to provide 2 million plus in gold to the lucky killer of the Bebilith. Far better in my view to provide a sexy alternative to the Staff as something for your mage to hold whilst using their magic. Then you might actually see the Whip used and equipped more in the game ?

All the Best .....Blade :)
