Are people really buying this from the AH for 200 gold?
4k gold now? Jebus, whoever did has a lot of gold to burn.
Main Gauche is french for "Left Hand", so this is presumably meant as an off-hander, but honestly it's not good for anything.
Actually this is a very useful weapon if you want to test rogue mechanics like hit, crit or miss rates because it doesn’t have any stats that might alter results.
