Does anyone know what the heck this thing is for?
What is the purpose etc?

I have one, it was included in the sale of a thanatos that I purchased, but I have no idea what it is or what its for.

I am going to safely assume its a commodity, but any more information on it would be awesome.

Flavor item. Sell it to some collector or trash it.

It's used to make a quick buck by selling it to Amarr Victor sperglords. You know, those guys who think that Amarr are the master race. I wonder if a disproportionate amount of Amarrian RP's are of Argentine origin?

Yeah, it's real handy for beating Minmatar slaves. You can heat it up and leave a scar too, which is funny, since it's their unofficial rebellion symbol or something. But what's another mark on a Minmatar, it just blends in with the tattoos and they don't even notice.

In game use, none that I know of.

Flavor/RP wise, its a Matari device of ass-beating. The current leader of the Minmatar Republic, Maleatu Shakor, carries one of those on him at all times.

Use it to hit an Amarr holder with. It makes a satisfying ringing sound.

Also for jest or otherwise, some people like to leave little suprises for people from time to time.

Check the legality conditions of the item. It may not be so relevant to yourself and this situation but items of variable legality with differing factions is a way people like to spice up the game for others sometimes.

The Khumaak is a replica of an Amarrian relic -- a rod with a spiked solar disc on the top. It was used by a Minmatar slave to kill his master (refer to this chronicle for more information), which ultimately led to the assumed annihilation of the Starkmanir tribe and the beginning of the Minmatar rebellion.

I've been hanging around with Amarrian RPers for the best part of nine years and I don't recall speaking to a single South American in that time.

Don't listen to this guy, even tho he has a nice blue tag by his name. That's Amarr propaganda!!! Play (read and follow the story of) Minmatar epic arc to find the real truth behind Khumaak. Blink

This also used to represent a several billion a week NPC trade route. Purchasing it around Metropolis lowsec and moving it to Heimatar highsec. At the time it was 166,666 quantity orders. CCP then nerfed this down to 10k which ruined the profit and made it mostly dumb to do.
