Talk:Grim Cesta

No need to state that it is also called an off-hand item, that is stated in left hand which is linked in the article. --Rainith 13:22, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Anonymous was right, it looks like a knife even when equipped, I'll upload a pic. --Karlos 16:06, 14 March 2006 (CST)

Salvage
I got 12 bones for salvage (with expert) so i guess its possible to get more then 9 bones. --Namnatulco 8JUL2006 14:56 GMT+1


 * Actually, those numbers should not even be in the article. -Gares 08:01, 8 July 2006 (CDT)

mummified claw cestas
Where do they drop and what attribute are they tied to? -- Gordon Ecker 00:39, 30 July 2006 (CDT)


 * The one in the picture dropped in Old Ascalon in Fort Ranik. From what exactly I couldn't say. It's been a long time that I updated that pic. The reason I know where it was from, is that I took the screen directly outside the Frontier Gate after I got there. Attribute-wise I can't remember. -Gares 01:07, 30 July 2006 (CDT)
 * i just got one to drop in the catacombs in pre. it doesn't have a requirment though..Detraya fullvear 00:11, 11 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I got one from a Frostfire Dryder in Iron Horse Mine. Energy +7 (req 6 Death Magic), Armor +4, Energy -5. It would suggest they are linked to Death Magic --Uber Any 14:21, 10 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Wow, i'm responding to a very old post, but, does anyone know if there is a green drop with the mummified talon skin?, plz let me know k thx.211.26.249.24 09:04, 25 March 2008 (UTC)sry forgot to log inKonradishes 09:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

prophecies only?
Has anyone seen a grim cesta drop in Factions? -- Gordon Ecker 00:46, 30 July 2006 (CDT)


 * After sifting through the Factions collectors, from that it seems each attribute has its own item now. Blood Magic = Blood Knife, Curses = Bone Idol, and Death Magic = Bleached Skull. -Gares 01:07, 30 July 2006 (CDT)


 * And, after trying to keep track of all drops instead of just rare skin drops, I found out that they actually do drop in Factions. -- Gordon Ecker 20:04, 29 August 2006 (CDT)

research needed?
Why is this article in Category:Research needed ? namnatulco 18:37, 4 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Because the linked attribute for the mummified claw version is unknown. I might've added the tag before I found out they were core, in which case the question of whether they're core or not could've been a secondary reason. -- Gordon Ecker 20:04, 29 August 2006 (CDT)


 * in a quest in haiju lagoon(return the missing purse) a creature called a ravenous drake drops a grim cesta.


 * I just remembered that I got one of the mummified claw cestas in the Jukanur Diggings mission. Assuming they're still dropped in the final release, we should be able to get an answer soon enough. -- Gordon Ecker 06:28, 18 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Gordon, I got one linked to Death Magic (see my post from Oct.10 above). Would it be enough to conclude that they are linked to Death Magic, or is there a possibility they are linked to both ? --Uber Any 13:05, 19 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Yeah, I just got a death one too. I think we can assume it's only one attribute unless someone finds one for the other attribute. -- Gordon Ecker 01:51, 25 February 2007 (CST)
 * I got a gorgon grim cesta with req9 curses. -- Zerpha The Improver 12:01, 24 April 2007 (CDT)

Ive found two... One was an energy+12 death req9 gold inscribable from a ravenous mandragor in nightfall.... that was before i knew inscriptions could be replaced without trying to salvage the inscription out (new to nightfall) and i destroyed it on accident. The other i found in presearing and I still have because the skin is simply badass eventhough the stats suck. -The Black Leach

-Hp Mods
Should the -Hp mods be listed on this page alongside energy bonuses?-Onlyashadow 08:09, 11 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Actually the template used is obsolete, but has not been upgraded. It will not show energy bonuses as those are universal to all focus items as are -HP mods. While there has been no crusade to fix those obsolete templates, I will fix this one now. -Gares 08:27, 11 September 2006 (CDT)

Grim cesta images
At the moment, there are the four "normal" Cesta images. Maybe it should also added the -50hp cesta quest reward item with the blood knife skin? -- Zerpha The Improver 13:34, 29 April 2007 (CDT)

Anyone also notice that the gorgon head version looks sorta like a rough image of Medusa? -- (T/C) 09:56, 2 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Not very surprising, considering that Medusa is one of the Gorgons. ;) --84-175 (talk) 10:01, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

Question
Does the gauntlet version ever tie to curses, besides Vilnar's? Zeek Aran 09:12, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've never seen one like that - like the article says, to the best of my knowledge Curses is always diamond, Death is always glove. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 09:26, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

death is the glove OR mummified claw :P98.193.121.227 17:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

D'oh
It's a gorgon head! I always thought it was a guy with leaves for hair and he was shaking his head to make them wave like that...--GerrOh!    05:12, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's noted in the article. :) [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 06:15, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
