As is often stated, I am extremely impressed with the quality of this list and the people that post on it. I subscribed to it right before I went on vacation. . . came back and had 1700 messages to read. I'm glad I decided to read them instead of delete them (although work productivity dropped significantly, but. . . oh well). I am not sure if this is a full fledged spoiler, but since I am new to this list, I'll error on the side of caution.

I've seen many weapons posted to drool over, but one I haven't seen mentioned is Ashenwood Short Spear. Damage 6, delay 22, piercing, 10 charges of haste. I'm at work right now and can't remember the weight, will post it later if anyone is interested. It's a rare drop from Drelzna in Najena. I got mine from a friend who killed her, who then tried for a week to auction the spear but nobody was buying. Finally he gave it to me =). I think it is 1 point faster than the dragoon dirk, and while the dragoon dirk has the extra stats bonuses, I like the look of the spear versus the tiny dagger (and if you can afford the extra weight, put the dirk in the ranged weapon slot to get the bonuses).

By the way, does anyone know any specifics about 'Haste' that the some items have? I'm curious, but not enough so to waste a charge to learn.

Good travels,
