I recently got a Dragoon Dirk, but frankly I went to the zone because I wanted to
give DVinn some payback for all the times he killed me when I was Level 9-11 in
trains. I very much enjoyed clomping him with a few others. When I went to CB, it
was 7 am eastern, and there were only 3 people in the zone higher then level 15.
A level 17 wiz, a 21 ranger, and myself, a 19 Bard. We grouped together, had to
clear the entire castle ourselves (not really that hard, all the legionaires were
green at 19th) then kill the royal guard. Fortunately for us Dvinn spawned after
we'd been able to bring Crush and the Prohpet into the main throne room.

I seriously doubt I am the only one who likes to get special item firsthand, and
I don't mean by paying for them. I found the whole time I spent getting the
Dragoon Dirk to be alot of fun. Yes, we killed DVinn a second time so that the
wizard could have one, and I was wow'd by the fact the dagger had better stats
then my Combine Long Sword. But as long as fighting the upper caste of Crushbone
isn't reduced to sitting and waiting for them with 20 other players, I must say
it was a VERY rewarding fight from an enjoyment perspective. Take THAT Dvinn! And
Dorn watch out, you're next! *smiles*
