Price/Power (4/5)
11 icons for 90k and dropping fast; while it likely won't settle as low as it would if it was a daily prize, the drop and increased supply should make it more valuable than it has ever been.

Countermeasures (4/5)
It is what it is, a bulk amount of fire with an air/light chaser. Nothing is great in defense these days, but icon type wise fire has always been a solid choice.

Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades
If you are an active neopets player, be sure to check which other better items you may already have. If you have a Void Blade or a {{The Power of Friendship The Power of Friendship}}- or just any recent powercreepy weapon that has came out you might find something better. But if you just are returning to neopets, got this as a weekly prize are are trying to buy a cheap set- this could be just the ticket.

Other Points (2 Bonus)
I am shocked this is the rating I am writing for this horrible item. Weekly Quests sure are something. I feel it deserves more than a 1 given it's dramatic price change.

Final Thoughts
It DID in fact reduce in price to an insanely low level. While it may raise again a little and lose some points, based on what it does vs the number of icons it'll likely always once again be an affordable option.

Unless this drops down to similar prices as Ring of the Sway, then it's too expensive for only dealing 11 icons of damage.

Price/power (0/5): Only 11 icons and going for around 4 million NP. The Altador Cup Throwing Star costs less than half the price, and does more damage.

Tactical (1/5): There is some value in the 5 fire icons, but other than that, it doesn't have much going for it. The easily affordable Scroll of Knowledge does the same number of icons, and superior weapons such as Ylanas Blaster, Brynns Legendary Sword of Wraith Smiting, and even Dr. Sloths Personal Bath Buddy cost much less.

Bonus (0/1): Other weapons are much more intimidating.

Closing remarks: Get one of the aforementioned weapons instead. This was briefly sought-after when it was first released, since it was an alternative to having 2 Ylanas Blasters. Options even better than Ylanas Blaster have arisen since then, and there's absolutely no reason to shoot magma at anyone anymore.
