An elephant tusk is ivory obtained from butchering an elephant. Tusks can be sold to exotic goods traders, or used as a melee weapon.

Acquisition

Can be purchased from traders.

Hunting and slaughtering an elephant will yield two (2) elephant tusks.

Summary

Always produced in pairs.

A good hunting based trade item, even after value reduction.

They are also excellent, no crafting needed, early melee weapons.

One of two (2) horn type weapons present in the game.

The other horn weapon present in the game is, the much rarer, thrumbo horn.

Analysis

An elephant tusk can be used as a (sharp) melee weapon, which is in the terms of average DPS and AP, equal to the warhammer.

As a weapon, like the club and thrumbo horn, it has no quality value. Making it more valuable if your crafters are unskilled.

Version history

In Beta 19 its market price was reduced from 450 silver to 80 silver.
