Finally a real tanking katana have been added:

Narigitsune RareEx
[Main] All Races
DPS: 10.04 DMG:38 Delay:227 Evasion+5 Magic damage taken -5%
LV 74 NIN



I bet it's gonna be quite hard to get

MDR sets? crazy

[KimJongIl]

Drops from a NM in A.Ruins (Oupire, Spelling?) sorry, been up all night, our LS killed that NM ... gives title oupire(sp?) impaler and drops that katana, he's kinda a bitch to kill with 4 ppl ... with a full group probably not as bad

[MrReinhardt]

I'd like to know what his spawning conditions are.

[Amastacia]

Every 4-5 hours respawns. Don't think there are any past that. If someone aggros him and is killed, it despawns for a similar length of time.

True sound?

I'm hoping these NM's will stop being over-camped to high even in the near future. I tire of competitive camping. I got my fill of it back in the old days.

Most of the NMs that can be readily solo'd do not drop anything mind-blowing (e.g., the Accuracy/Attack set of rings is really not that impressive for anyone who owns Rajas Ring, Virtuous Belt is only nominally better than Life Belt) and the higher tier NMs don't drop things that should result in massive competition. The Fomori might be a different story if we ever figure out their weapons, I suppose, but the number of Ninja who really want this katana is going to be fairly limited since most people are of the Paladin-only mindset these days.

That gives me a bit of hope, actually. Thank you. I'm just scared of expecting everything to look like the old leaping lizzy or Deggi.

Was that flame bait?

0/1 on katana. not a terribly hard fight, but make sure your tank has some Holy waters (if pld), as ours died to terror at ~20% and it got pretty messy after that.
