Purple Dagger

We had quite an exciting evening yesterday. The Gut Ripper, our very first guild purple item dropped off of a Naga in STV. Thumbreaker and Maraco both indicated a strong interest in the item, which sparked a lengthy discussion between Scott and myself. While this dagger would undoubtably be a nice item for either of those two characters, it would likely never see it's full potential. Had the item been green or blue, likewise had it been BoP, it would have immediately gone to the highest roller between those two. But since purples are so rare, and since it's BoE and can easily be handed to another player, we'd really prefer it go to someone who can make the best use of it for the longest period of time. (This is only the 2nd time a purple has ever dropped for my party, including CB.) Scott assures me that this dagger is so good, it would easily last a rogue to level 50, and quite possibly to level 55.

Both Thumb and Mar should be looking forward to more class appropriate items in the very near future. Both of these characters are at a level where, as a guild we should be helping them to get equiped for dungeons. For Thumb this means getting a good shield. May I suggest the Aegis of the Scarlet Commander? It's a very common drop off of Commander Mograine in SM. For Maraco, a good mace or staff would be just the ticket. May I suggest the Illusionary Rod, which is a very common drop off of Arcanist Doan in SM? (For end-game content, Rod of the Ogre Magi is about the sexiest thing this side of the Mississippi.) That said, do Mar and Thumb have time to do some SM runs so we can get you this equipment? Perhaps tonight even?
