This is a pretty nice off-hand for its level, but on my server, the materials alone cost almost 25 gold!
It might be wiser to just pick up a Dreadblade, which normally costs a few gold at most and has near identical stats (in particular, if you find one "of Agility").
That is every comment on this page.
