Anybody Pull Shuriken or Murasama Blade?
I've been trying to get a Mursama Blade and Shuriken for a while now with no luck, but have seen loot "drop" but not appear in my inventory. I just wanted to confirm that these are actually dropping before I spend more time hunting for them. Has anybody pulled either of these?

I personally have not gotten either, but others have reported getting them. The "phantom" loot drop is a known bug. Hopefully it will be squashed as part of the planned October update.

I saw a shuriken drop on a utube video, dungeon L10

I have one of each. I believe they only drop on level ten.

And yes, there is a loot drop bug. Hopefully it will be fixed this month.

Does one need to have a ninja and or a samurai in the party for the either of these weapons to drop?

Nope. I don't have a Ninja and I got the Shuriken.

Question: has anybody pulled a *dagger* that looks like it has a blade on both sides? I got one then the game bugged out and lost it and want to figure out what it was that I lost.

It's the Dagger of Speed, I think. It's useless for the most part. It can only be used by a Ninja or a Mage. It does very little damage, but does do 7 swings, so it gives the Ninja a lot of chances to do a crit.

It also improves your AC by 3, so that helps.

I don't think Ninja are that good, so I would rather have a second Samurai with a Murasama Blade on my front line.

Been camping for a single Murasama blade for about 10 hours now... no luck.

Muramasa, thieves dagger, lord's garb or shuriken are exceedingly rare.
I played easily 25 hours on level 10, and got 1 muramasa and 1 thieves dagger.
You need a combo of:
- a set encounter (random ones have no loot)
- the right enemies (only a few drop the really good stuff)
- statistical luck

I feel like I'll be maxxed out in levels just hunting the items... but the game is pretty trivial at this point even without them. Maybe I'll just call it a day for now. After all... I'm hunting the items... just to say I have them? While I would love the bragging rights my time has to be worth more than that.

I hear what you're saying but at the same time there's a certain satisfaction from ohe shotting a Greater Demon or beheading Werdna.

Max level Ninja with a Vorpal Blade will pretty much one-shot everything in the game even without beheading them. They average around 100 damage on a hit. At that point is is just about "how much MORE damage can you do?"

Max level samurai with Muramasa will do 240 damage on a hit.
In the original game, max level is 255 so a samurai could do close to 950 damage on a hit.
