Just out of curiosity i just became a pikeman this past week never paid attention to it till i saw 1 pikeman and tought it ooked pretty cool. So now i hear nabout this night sister energy lance and how cool it is. so i go searching and find tha only 6-9 exsist on my server. So i look around even more and find out they're practicaly impossible to loot. Now gonna be harder to get the lance due to the TKA's getting a new weapon witch requires the same vibro unites we need. Why dose it seem that a underrated proffesion is getting the shaft (all pun intended) on their specail weapon. when fencer and swordsman specail weapons are so plentful that dancers are using em as props.
I would just like to see the devs or someone fight for us and get this weapon to be more acsessible. Well sorry if i'm being a moron, but tought i'd put my 2 cents in

If you can't be a smartass about pikeman you don't last long in the profession
Gunman has asked the devs to adjust Axkva's spawn rate, resists, etc. as well as to improve the weapon itself. Personally I'd like to see a different way of getting one aside from looting it off the hardest mob in the game, but for whatever reason there hasn't been a whole lot of demand on these boards to change that. Most of us would settle for just being able to find Axkva at this point.

TKA's.. don't have sh*t, will have razor knuckler soon
Fencers.. have the acklay stuff, although no cool loot weapon (like the scythe, quest based stuff)
Swordsmen.. have the Scythe and acklay hammers
Pikeman.. have the NSEL, which is practically impossible to get
They should add more quests like the Scythe quest, for cool stuff for all kinds of professions. From fencer and pikeman to squad leaders and rangers

Its hard to get because the schematic and the NS Vibro BladeUnits are a rare drop from Axkva Min which only spawns every server reset.

Has anyone tried since the speicals publish. We went yesterday with 2 Master Swordsman 1 TKM 1TKM/Master Commando, and My self Master Pikeman. We lasted a total of 3 mins against her with force hits of 800+ even with healing we didn't stand a chance.

I've killed her before and ended up with nothing. Couple times it was just a normal NS lance.
but i've been blessed and do have a lance that was given to me by a friend.He got the schematic even though I was the one that killed her and was keeping everyone alive. The lucky **edit** looted a set of7 vibro unitsalso, plus a couple others over a course of one week.So offered me a free lance.
Was only fair since I set him up with the WS and resources to make the thing too.
