    Living Rod

    Has anybody ever even seen one of these? Drops of kraken club, drop rate is about 1/10 that of kraken club or less (and the NM is 60-72 hrs, Cemetery Cherry). It is on the list for club on our AH, no sales, but that says to me that one exists on Bismarck. I want one. Bad.

    Apparently, it has hidden effect of doubling the potency of Drain and Aspir, which would be sick

    Just beacuse it's on the AH listing, doesnt mean someone has it.

    are you sure? I was under the impression that it dosen't have to sell, just be put up then taken down or sold in order to be shown on AH.

    Noritsune Kote was listed under AH the day the update was released, I doubt that Tiamat was killed a few minutes after update.

    Thought I saw a thread posted somewhere with tests showing it was like +10% or something equally unimpressive. Try google.

    dark staff?

    we got the drop off CC a while back, the BLM who got the rod said it does in fact double the potency (or increase 50%?) of drain/aspir. I'll check with him again to make sure =o

    I know, definitely, 100% that an item has to have been listed on the AH (it can be taken down again) for it to show up in the list.

    Why?

    Because my first ever hour on Remora was spent looking at an AH with only about 5 items on it.

    Edit: And of course, if it doesn't have to have been listed, then why are the 3 kingdom AH's missing so much high-level equipment from their lists?

    when an item is listed on AH, thats because someone put it up there...it doesnt have to sell though.



    to further proove my point:

    some server, Assault Breastplate is listed on AH.

    however

    no assault breastplate there, and I'm scrolled all the way up (sorted by lvl). Also, to note, there is a Dragon Harness+1 on my server, but because the crafter didnt toss it on AH, it is not shown.

    Hmm. We've been trying to sell one for the longest. Got the drop from Cherry a while back but no one seemed to want to buy the damn thing.

    *Unzips pants* Theres your living rod.


    Bad joke?

    Diablos pole's effect is from Dark weather, so coupled with the Dark obi (forget its name) you can do way more than with just Pluto staff. It is probably something like 15% per dark weather (so double weather boosts it to 30%)

    obi + diabolos pole = i still got aspirs for 60-140 in dynamis, which is the same as my NQ dark staff. I tossed it right after.

    I also got a diabolos pole and found it to be quite crappy (ie no noticeable difference from Pluto's staff). Most of the people that I've read that really like it also have an anrin obi which confuses me as to why it would require that to see anything. But now you've posted saying no difference either and you have an obi. /shrug

    had same experience as lordwafik... tried it in a dynamis-xarc with anrin obi, tossed it afterward.

    Killed CC yesterday (MNK MNK MNK BRD RDM WHM, guess what we were doing >_>). No drop. 7:45 EST, Ragnarok server. Now go get it someone on my server and do tests!
