Lifestealer +4...where is it?

    [​IMG] I was browsing through the weapon lists in ShadowKeeper and I saw the Lifestealer +4 dagger mentioned in the lists. I'm not sure about whether that is the same name, but it is the one which has a 15% chance of draining levels from the target.

    I wanted to know where in the game it can be found. I have the Item Upgrade mod installed, but it wasnt mentioned in the README file which cam with the mod so I dont think it would be included in that.

    Where in the game can I find it?

    PS: I read on the boards about Sorcerous Amon. I've played through the game tons of times, but I cant seem to recall the name. Who is he?

    Edit: 100 posts...woo hoo!!

    I've never come across it in the game and i just checked a guide and an online one and there's not a skeric of a mention in there either. I think its just a weapon in SK thats there for the fun of it. There's quite a few like that!

    Sorcerer Amon - iirc he's that low-level mage from the inn in the Promenade. Mencar Peeblecrusher's group member. With a little imp beside him. I'm pretty sure thats him. :)

    Just did a quck Near Infinity crawl; the dagger is on Artemis Enteri who, I believe, is an enemy/rival of Drizzt. He was supposed to show up in Bohdi's lair in chapter 6 if you enlist Drizzt's help but he was cut.

    Unfinished Business has this on their completed restoration list but I'm not sure if it is in the current release or if it will be in the next one.

    Lifestealer is Artemis Entereri's dagger. The only way you can get it is to create Artemis throuhg the cosole and kill him.

    [​IMG] Thanks for the info guys.

    If I wanted to create an Assassin in true RP style and use Daggers and Short Swords only...what would be the good ones from a powergaming standpoint?

    Just about every enchanted Shortsword or Dagger. Stilleto Demarchess, Pixie Prick, Lifestealer, Arbane's Sword, and all the ToB selections.
    Shortswords and Daggers tend to be overlooked because of their low damage, but they number among the items with the best bonuses in the game.
