I do consistent damage with it, 52-55 every time I connect. Normally I appologize every time I hit someone because they are just /dueling me to allow me to port out. One nice thing is that you can miss (do no damage) and still have the proc work, which is nice. Also, it's very random when it procs, sometimes it will proc in 2 hits and othertimes it takes 2 min to get out of a place. Just don't do it in a hurry if you can help it. I last used it when my cleric buddy and I were duoing in Siren's Grotto after our druid group member logged. We dueled so I could port out and then he gated, cake! Sinfonian

hehe.. I duel an SK in the guild all the time when we want to port at the end of a raid. See who ports first :lol great thing is, I have a few screen shots where "He fled like a cowardly dog that he is" :lol

Hehe Yeah, that's my favorite part. I've fled like a cowardly dog so many times the dog catcher in the area has a most-wanted poster out on me... :lol Whatever works to get me out of a difficult zone to PoK I'm game for! Awesome tool, don't leave home without it! Sinfonian

I charmed Foreman and got my hammer. I am Tribunal worshipper, so was KoS even with mask on. As far as DE mask goes, around level 55 I got bored. I went to the Ass camp and soloed him. Took me a while, but eventually came out with a bag and a mask. Conaden Darksong, 65 Maestro of Povar

As for procing, I have also tried usiing it on fighting helm clicky eye. It might take a few tries, but I have had success in doing that especially if there are no easy mobs to fight.

Folks grouping with me tend to remember that I need that kind of "port" out if none else is available, so before the last gater ports out they normally /duel me without me asking anymore. Thankfully I've never had to resort to they eye, as it seems like it would take forever. Even though I have the SS helm, I think I'd first grab even a dark blue mob and smack away at it. If it hit too hard, I would simply do the mez, smack, mez, smack technique to take few hits. /shrug I always have the SS helm as a worst-case plan though, it's nice for that. Sinfonian

I have done the quest not long ago, got the hammer, but am trying to get to non-kos faction. (Just something I would like to do) I was wondering how many of those berzerker braids I have to turn in to get the faction up. Done about 100 now and it starts to get a wee bit boring.

So they may think you are cool as a DE, but kill you because you're a tree-hugging DE. In short, you will not be indifferent to mobs that like DEs.

It's true that your choice of deity matters, but the mask DOES come with a faction adjustment. My Bristlebane worshipping half-elf was able to walk around everywhere in Oggok except the shaman guild when he head his mask of deception on. In fact, betwen the mask and Charismatic Carrilon, he was able to work up enough faction to start making Steins of Moggok, which were a great way to raise cash back in the old days. I've also used the mask to safely walk around in the OT outpost. However, the mask won't help you use the hammer because you won't have the illusion up when you gate in. You'll still have to run for it once you've zoned in.

Hey guys, just throwing in my experiance with the ot hammer deal. The guide said to be 56ish to try it, but im 51 and decided what the heck. So anyway all i did was used SS boots and selos to get to where he was. Used DE mask (im agnostic) then proceeded to charm him, it took a good 20+ times along with 80% of my mana to charm him but it worked, and bam hammer. You shouldnt have to worry about any adds as long as you stear clear of the boats. Any way, good luck! Vaghn 51 minstrell The Nameless

At level 65 I finally decided that I didn;t like being left behind when all the porters had gone, so I went after the hammer. What a simple task it was! I entered OT from the book, followed the route shown in the guide (basically out to sea and then back in along west zone line). I tracked the foreman. Before I got close enough for him to aggro me I charmed him with Banshee and handed him a jade. I wish all quests were this easy.

The Undead Foreman in the shipyards, has a favorite gem - Jade. In return for a Jade, he will give you a hammer which is usable by All/All and randomly procces Gate: Overthere. The effect on the hammer is a proc (you must be fighting to use it), and will not work until Level 50. http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=741

For anyone KOS in the Outpost.. Oncey ou port in 90% of the time the green skelly aggros you.. Run out of the boat and to the left side of the boat.. Charm the skelly and hit /pet sit down then just simple run out the front gates.. By the time you can proc the hammer you can run right behind the foreman without aggro and past the golum at the front gate.. You can make it to the PoK book before charm breaks.. No need to lev up and run out to sea.. That takes to long.. I wrote up a nice guide for Iksar Beastlords on this hammer.. Believe me having a 2hb (1) skill is MUCH better then a 2hb (200+).. Porting from JPF with my Beastlord I tend to kill 2 ot 3 pouchers before my hammer procs with a 180DEX.. :(

Other melees can get this item using puppet strings which I believe drop from Cazic Thule (The god, not the zone) It's a limited-used charm clicker that it droppable. I doubt you'd ever see this for sale in the baz because the sheer fun factor of it for a non-charming class is simply too outragious to ever give up for mere plat. Because it was limited charges, best to debuff the snot out of the foreman. It does work on the eye from the SS helm as well, though it may take a few eyes for the proc to go off. I find with Katta's up, or shammy buffs maxing dex it goes off in 1-3 swings, although I have had bad luck nights where even at max dex I've beaten the mob to death before porting .... which is really bad luck indeed considering bards have a 2hb skill of zero.

I got mine the other day, but so far have been too scared to use it :p

Dont be scared to use it man, the only thing that attacks u is a greeny skelly, u can melee it to death or simply run away. i usually keel him, then do DE illusion and run out the outpost, its easy as pie. I was also scared at first to, but now that ive done it, its easy np. when i first ported in i had no clue how to get off the damn boat tho, so i took some hits just trying to figure out how to get off...but if u run to the front of the boat, it puts u on top of the boat like a transport, then u can simply jump off. Good luck! Vaghn 52 Minstrel
