It's from the Yorcia Weald Wildskeeper NM, posted a picture in the Naakual thread.

Just got a Tamaxchi if anyone wants me to do some testing or whatever for blue magic. Heading to bed for tonight, but should be able to play around a bit with it tomorrow if someone else hasn't gotten one/tested by then.

You cant get this club - and then go to sleep - F*** sleep. (Just kidding)
Have a peaceful rest - anxiously awaiting any details on the boost to potency of blu spells with this club. Going to try to get one of my own but with my luck I will be 0/4 ...

I love to here about it man hopefully makes Blu physical magic step up and curses the need to merit realrazer until they make a sword ><;;...

do a few heavy strikes on some rabbits in ronfaure, will give me enough to work with for a baseline. give me your str and skill values at the time of casting, too.

Also do some sanguine blades (with this in offhand) and list mab, str, mnd, int. Wanted to see if magic damage + affected weaponskills

[Hitou]

The club skill only works in main hand so that isn't going to work for a test.

Sure if he was testing club skill but since he was wanting to test the magic dmg stat.... which I'm rather curiuos about myself

[Hitou]

herp, I forgot all the stats on that club. could also try flash nova in main hand, unless that ws has some weird rules.

Should I be fully geared for this? I'd prefer to just do it naked with the club.

Edit: Some numbers;

Blu/Dnc Elvaan M 98 STR +2 STR from setting heavy strike, 440 skill (full merits but no equipment on), wearing no other equipment than the Tamaxchi or Halachuinic Sword (Didn't want to use Buramenk'ah due to it's STR). All on Wild Rabbits in West Ronfaure.

With Tamaxchi:

1450
1514
1467
1437
1503
1499
1456
1508
1482
1465

Halachuinic Sword:

1258
1263
1238
1259
Miss (Lul), 1254
1259
1277
1263
1267
1247

If more are needed let me know and I'll do some more tomorrow evening. Can't do as large a sample size as I'd like tonight since I have to work early tomorrow morning, but can do a lot more tomorrow night if it's necessary.

[Prothescar]

it doesn't matter as long as I know your STR and blue magic skill

[Prothescar]

that's, at best, a 20D increase. disappointingly horrible.

[larrymc]

Wow ... I was hoping that SE was putting blus through this trial of getting access to *only* this one club because the damage boost was so good, they wanted to make us work for it.

Nope.

I think you're going to need to fight something higher level. BLU has always been strong vs weak mobs. Try vs an IT and see if there is a significant difference.

That was just for testing since SE said it was adding for base dmg unless the skill adds to acc/blue attack (which I think someone already said it doesn't) the dmg difference would just be even lower

[Damane]

well thats very underwhelming...

[Sideris]

I wonder how much (or how little) things will change when Bur'amenkah is retroactively given that Skill+ buff.

[Prothescar]

After some deliberation, I really hope that they revise this. There's absolutely no chance that this current system can facilitate Blue Magic D growth at even 1/5th the rate that weapon D has been increasing. At the moment, Blue Magic D increase looks to be 1.2x as weapon D is increasing in at least a factor of 2x. Current method of calculation needs to be doubled or tripled for it to be useful. Alternatively, new spells can have ridiculously high WSC.

well here is hopeing that bur'amenkah has a higher D increas for blu physical magic and the club was ment more for blue maigcal dmg :/

[Prothescar]

Don't see Bura giving more than 10 extra D compared to club, and that's being extremely generous. Certainly not the 40~60 needed.

[tennotsukai87]

Anyone think they will release our spells with the next update? They did say 2 updates 1 update ago. Also, is the club even worth getting now that we know it lacks what we expected?
