Omg this guide is great. This hammer is really handy and I would recomend anyone who can get it to get it. I'm a lev 56 Agnostic bard and have used this quest guide to get it (all I needed was Dark ellf form mask to have enough fac) and have used the hammer over 5 times now, all without any problems. Can't believe I havn't done this sooner... I would recomend having a levtate and 49 selo's ready before you go to use it though just in case. You do get a very low level skelly hitting on you but it's certainly nothing to worry about. No more worrying about how to get out of raids or beg someone for a send to bind/zone. I recomend every bard who can use the proc on the hammer (50+?) to get it.

yea yea.. I've been putting this off... :lol time to get that hammer *snicker* I'm level 65.. I think I can use it

Yeah I recently helped a guild buddie's 26th level bard get this hammer, that low I had him grab a bunch of bezerker whips and turn them in for faction. Now he's non-kos there so he doesn't even need to run when he ports in. I myself have it down so I only take about 100 damage from the skell in the boat, I just make sure I have travel song memed and switch out my drum by the time I hit the water. SOOOO EASY to do, every bard should have this gate hammer. As for the level it procs at, I doubt it's 50+ as the quest is recommeded for much lower than that (DEs that are already non-kos there). I'll have to ask my buddie if he can use it, I think he's like 30 now. Sinfonian Btw Tsol, grab a jade (3pp in PoK), take the OT stone, load OOS, charm and travel. Travel, Run to the wall above the docks, OOS the skell, charm him, tell him to sit, hand him the jade, crank up travel again and jet back out and to the book. It should take all of 10 min start to finish, hehe. Let me know if you need help :D -Sinf

I am fairly certain that the hammer does not proc till L 51 .. someone please correct me.

1 Quick question regarding OT hammer....... if i was to charm turn in mob would a friend be able to do turn in for the hammer?? IE a 65 pally friend with no good OT faction whatsoever? Turntable Vonscratch 58 Bard nameless

My understanding is "no". You charming the skel will make him amiable to you (high enough to get the hammer), but he will be indifferent to everyone else (not high enough). Rhapsodde Enbleu 59 Troubadour

besides if the pala tried to use and and it proc he would appear inside the OT camp not a good place for goodies

Well you say it may not be good for goodies, but I'd say it doesn't matter. Like I said I'm kos when not in DE form so same would apply to any good race character aswell. As long as they have jboots and levitate they can easily get away over the water. I say go for it, it's just turning in the item that could be the problem.

Well I'm max KoS to VS based faction so I'm hated in all of OT. When you use it you appear in an unfinished ship with two low level skellies. Run up to the front or back of the ship to get out. Then you have a few choices you can either DA up and run strait through the vendors to get to the PoK book or you can ran around to another exit area so you don't agro tons of things. I use this hammer a few times a day... esp since I'm kos to thurg and I don't wanna spend 100pp+ on the spell component for pok neck item.

That's a good idea Paeros, I'm a travel song kinda guy myself (mainly as I got into the habit long before I got the DA song). I too use the gate hammer just about every raid as we regularly run into a place and say oops, no porters here, hehe. My technique for getting from the boat port-in to the book is to always have Travel song loaded, or Levitate if you are too low. As soon as you port in, back up and you will come out on top of the deck, casting Travel/Lev as you do so. Turn and run between the two drydock ships and out over the water, swing around the dock and around the wall, up on shore and to the book. As soon as you can over water, swap out the hammer for your drum if using Travel or selos if levetating. I have NEVER been caught by the skeleton worker that smacks me as soon as I port in. I have it down such that he only does less than 100 damage to me before I'm scott-free. Certainly an alternative to training the book, though both work. GL and make the Gate Hammer your friend!

Well I got my Hammer today, but what I dont understand is this. The Proc is the gate. So when you hit something you gate ? I see there is not clickie on it. So im kinda lost on the best way to gate when I need to. Im on a raid and decide to leave I have to find a mob to fight to gate ??? Can someone explain this to me? Thanks guys Reply to my post hehe. Well I went and used it to see how this works. You cant use as a weapon cause when you Proc you gate. If you where on a Raid, and everyone left I would not like picking a fight with a mob that might kick my butt before my Proc went off. I used my Mask and Faction Song with Turn in's to get my faction high enough to get the hammer. But if im not in Darkelf using my mask im KOS. So I would also have to use my mask before the hammer for gate, or I would just land inside a city where im KOS. Kinda lost on the point of the hammer. Or the hammer does not have the use I was hoping for. Guess I need to build up some more faction or make sure im in Darkelf form before I use this thing hehe. Just wish it would at least port you outside the city. Bahh back to farming later. Kinda burned out on killing greenies. Guess Ill need to work on the Small Clockwork Talisman quest. But kinda seems like a pain in the butt.

Ok, let's see, where to begin... You are right, you need to hit something, many times repeatedly, before it procs and you gate. You can hit anything targetable, including mobs (yes on raids that's not wise), other players (I use this method by asking a tank to "duel" me and let me smack them until it procs), or if you have a SS helm, I've heard you can kill your eye with it repeatedly until it procs... As I said, once you explain what you need of a fellow raid member, they will always let you smack them for as much as 200 damage before it procs. No biggie to a tank with 5k hps. Make sure they don't hit you because without faction, the skelleton worker will hit you when you zone in. Just make sure you have Travel song up, or levetate and selos. When you zone in, back straight up, once on deck, turn and run off towards the water, by then your lev or travel song should be up and switch out your drum for your hammer and run around the wall to the book. An alternative metod is to train the OT outpost to the book but I don't recommend that. In conclusion, this hammer isn't a clicky, it's a proc. You need to work at getting out of a zone, but it's better than using up a Thurg potion when there is not a port available. I use it at least 3 times a week and have the porting down pat. I can almost beat someone gating if they are the one I'm dueling, hehe, it's that fast now. I don't know what I did without it! Sinfonian

Need to get that head piece and try that, sounds like a easy way if it works. I forgot when you gate my Darkelf form drops. Byt if they dont agro when you spawn I can go into Darkelf before I move and All is good.

A Skelletal Worker attacks immediately upon zone-in... Thus the run away technique. Suppose you could kill him, but I've never bothered... Heck I "run like a cowardly dog" whenever I duel someone to get the gate to proc, so why should this be any different? ROFL Sinfonian
