Once upon a time, this was the most feared weapon in all of Neopia. Much has changed since 2001, though. Since it does less than 6 icons and only defends 1 icon, I advise against using this cheap dual-duty. Instead, use the Scarab Ring, which is a more modern, powerful version of this weapon.

I used this back in the day, and it was actually considered a good newbie/intermediate weapon! However, now that nine icons is the new standard (Stone Club, Ice Club and Psellias Fighting Fan are all buyable), this weapon's day has passed. If you can't yet afford a nine-iconer, go with a dirt-cheap seven-iconer like Unstable Slime or Battle Ready Pencil Box, an eight-iconer like Electro Sword or Tyrannian Lupe Tooth, or a variable weapon in that range like Fighting Folder or Earth Faerie Slingshot.

Back when I was first starting out, I used to think that owning two of these equated god status in the BD. : How times have changed. This is no longer the feared weapon that made the Bent Fork worth considering. The already mediocre offense (by today`s standards) is badly fractional, and the defense amounts for little. You can get a Bone Sceptre or Obsidian Dagger for less, and the almighty Scarab Ring for about the same. This does get an extra point for nostalgia, though.

This used to be a nice starting weapon, but there are much better choices now in Scarab Ring and Obsidian Dagger.

Power: (1) 4.6 icons + a smidge of fire defense

Price: (3) 2000 np, and a steady supply rolling in from the brain tree.

Tactical: (0) A great starter weapon, but nothing fancy about it.

Sentimental: (1) Was my personal favorite weapon when I was new, stupid, and poor.

Old bd age favorite, not anymore, but you'll consider this weapon because it's cheap.

One of the old favorites from when Wand of the Air Faerie and Grand Lightning Beam were popular.. It still isn't bad, it's very cheap and does 3 different types of icons.. this is great for beginners.

5 icons of good types for only 4k is quite good, especially with the 2-4 defense icons. Good newbie weapon.
