Unique Roman Ram Purifier Prototype
This is the first unique item within Project Entropia and was found by "Igor SWAT Piv" in the largest loot ever at the time (25,000 PED). It was the culmination of a major event that saw hordes of Atrox take over the area around Forth Ithaca and other places on Eudoria for a week as the event played out.
The item itself is a green shortblade with incredibly high maximum damage, rapid swing speed and massive TT value. The only negative aspect of the weapon is its enormous decay when used.
The properties of the blade lend it almost exclusively to PvP where its high damage makes for very rapid kills.
It is limited partially by its low range and massive decay which makes it great fun for PvP battles and horribly inefficient for hunting.
The weapon is currently owned by Deathifier after having changed hands twice (from Igor to Dekel/NZR to Deathifier) and can generally be found on display within the Treasure Island mansion for those who wish to see it for themselves.
The item is not currently available for loan nor is it for sale.

EBN REPORT: Famous billionaire killed on Calypso (30 Mar 2005)
Eccentric Earth collector Amerank Wackt was found dead in the water outside Fort Ithaca. The party of seventeen people seems to have been ambushed and the DNA structure was corrupted by some alien means. Wackt, famed Earth philanthropist, was on a visit to the Colony to view "its beautiful wildlife".
Some sources claim that Wackt really was on the run, as he was in possession of stolen contraband, a special and one-of-a-kind item, designed by the legendary Roman Ram. The item is believed to be a unique weapon of sorts, with performance never before seen. The expected price tag on the item is beyond anything else on Calypso. This strengthens the theory of foul play, as Roman Ram is famed for his fierce temperament.
EBN will follow-up on this report once a statement from the Federal Crime Specialist is available. Stay tuned for more information.
EBN UPDATE: The bizarre billionaire slaying (31 Mar 2005)
"The death of Amerank Wackt is strange", Federal Crime Specialist Tamir Aghalla says. "We have noticed an increase in creature activity around the crime scene, and we are sure that this wasn't an ordinary beast attack. Our creature behaviour specialists confirm this theory as well."
She continues, "The only trace at the site were smudged wet Atrox tracks leading away inland. We haven't been able to determine the age of the tracks yet, but the wetness indicates sea movement of some sort."
According to other sources EBN have spoken to, the Atrox population seems increased, almost like being on an amplified development pace. This is alarming if someone indeed has been altering the DNA of the native Calypso creatures.
Earth authorities have as of yet no official response, but a Federal Investigation Response Emergency Squad is probably coming to Calypso in the near future.
EBN UPDATE: Case of the bizarre billionaire slaying new info (01 Apr 2005)
EBN caught up with the FIRE squad leader, Major Jac Carn, and managed to retrieve some information about the ongoing investigation in the case involving the death of Amerank Wackt.
"Mr. Wackt, an Earth citizen class one, was indeed killed by Calypso wildlife. We believe the attacker to be a band of so called Atroxes of a variety of maturity levels. The attackers seems to be afflicted by some sort of mutation though, however this cannot be seen when casually looking at the creatures."
As to the collection of items Wackt allegedly carried, Major Carn explained. "Several items were recovered by the Seize and Rescue team first at location. However, one item is still missing, and the rightful owner, a Mr. Ram, is furious about this fact. We believe an Atrox who is lurking around in the wilderness, somewhere on Calypso, has eaten the item. As the time frame from the attack is quite long, the creature could be anywhere - your guess is as good as mine."
At this time, Major Carn was pulled into a meeting with several other authority figures in Hadesheim, Eudoria. If we receive any further updates, we will immediately bring it to the public.
EBN Update: First Unique Item found! (04 Apr 2005)
EBN just got hold of a special piece of information! One of the Atrox creatures responsible for the death of billionaire Amerank Wackt has been slain. The triumphant hunter was a member of the White Tigers society, and is known by the name Igor "SWAT" Piv. EBN has yet to receive word from the mighty and persistent hunter, but congratulate him in this endeavour. Early reports states that the finding was the highest valued treasure ever found on Calypso, at a value of 25,000 PED.
Together with this astonishing development, FIRE Squad Major Jac Carn confirms the previous rumour that other pieces of valued and unique items haven't yet been found. The items were recorded in a hidden inventory log, and information that EBN have access to corroborate that several items are unaccounted for. Major Carn declined any further comments about the matter, and seemed annoyed by the questions.
