New Gear Discoveries/Discussion [Perdu topic renamed]

The Magus (close enough to Mage) Staff increased the damage of elemental spells in FF5. Hmm....

I thought that was Mage's Staff... I'll have to fire up ZSNES again and load my up endgame save state to re-check.

[Toth]

In FF5GBA, it was translated as the Magus Staff. I know Sasuke Dagger had a chance of KOing mobs instantly.

[Xanthe]

Hmm, since instant-KOs aren't really given to players in FFXI, maybe it's an enhanced critical rate?

Sasuke was made a dagger? What did they call the katana then?

[Gerion]

Only weapon in FFV (GBA at least) that instant KOs is Assassain's Dagger, so maybe talking about that?

[Positron]

I happen to be one of those lolWHMelee enthusiasts, right after sky farm today gonna pick myself up one of these and try to parse for a few hours both with Sea Robber (or Brass Jadagna +1 if I can get my hands on it)/Perdu, and Perdu/Prudence, and see what I get out of it. Sounds very promising for WHM solo.

From FF5:

Holy Lance (Radiant Lance?) - Fortified with Holy, doubles Jump damage
Sasuke Katana - High Evasion Rate
Assassin's Dagger - Instantly KOs target (my bad)
Magnus Rod (Mage's Staff?) - Increases elemental magic damage
Brave Blade - Increases in attack power the less times you run away from battles
Dancing Dagger - let the carrier use a drain, aspir, charm, or attack 4 times

From FF6

Swordbreaker - Randomly evades an enemy's attack
Magus Rod - Increases elemental magic damage

More as I find any.

[Gerion]

FFV also has Magus Rod
FFIII has Wightslayer
FF1 has Werebane and Vorpal Sword

[Amadeo]

All this similarity has got me intrigued, guess we gotta wait till someone discovers them, or they are actually implemented for testing though ; ;

[crazyrabbit]

would be realy realy awesom if that staff gave +15% dmg to all elements so i dont have to carry 8 HQ staffs with me ~.~

(+20% would be even better but i dont want to wet my pants so i dont think about it)

[JoOeetheplatypuS]

itt mages get their hopes up way too far and will inevitably get shot down

[Mydel]

i want it....scythe skill {too weak} though =(

[Bagel]

ITT we bitch about nobody buying Perdu Bow and how fucking sweet it'd be if it gives acc/atk instead of racc/ratk

[Eaglestrike]

ITT we bitch about nobody buying Perdu Bow and how fucking sweet it'd be if it gives acc/atk instead of racc/ratk

I already did that, read the first page.

[Bagel]

ITT the one time you will see Bagel admit he made a mistake, although he still blames there being like 5 threads about this.

[Reapz]

I got Sickle as a lol item for BLM until I found out they were actually good so I got Sword for BLU aswell, now mainhanding it. Finally some good rank items!

[Zilong]

I'd rather have that than force pop Big Bomb ; ;

[Lazysmurf]

Sounds like sirocco-esque weapon though.

I actually hadn't thought of it that way before... Hmm...

RDM - Vorpal Sword = Vorpal Blade
BLU - Wightslayer = Enhances 'Undead Killer' effect
PLD - Brave Blade = Attack Bonus
BST - Double Axe = Enhances 'Double Attack' effect
WAR - Sturdy Axe = Defense Bonus
THF - Swordbreaker = Added effect: Attack Down
BRD - Dancing Dagger = Dancing Edge
WHM - Werebuster = ?
BLM - Mage's Staff = Magic Attack Bonus
SMN - Scepter Staff = Minus Avatar Perpetuation Cost
DRG - Radiant Lance = Enlight
DRK - Death Sickle = Endark
PUP - Inferno Claws = Enfire
MNK - Burning Fists = Enfire
NIN - Sasuke Katana = Sharigan
SAM - Windslicer = Enaero
COR - Quicksilver = Enhances 'Rapid Shot' effect
RNG - Killer Bow = Enhances 'Killer' effects

The two wrenches I'm finding at the moment is there is no WHM75-only weapon to go with these, and the new NIN75 katana is not listed as R/EX.

[edit]
That's what I get for taking Wiki at face value. Dug into POLUtils for the items, and it looks like the entries for Werebuster and Sasuke Katana were incorrect. Now we have a R/EX lvl75 weapon for each job. Fixed my speculaton list and the Wiki.

I got one of the pairs of the new enspell enchantment gloves and gave it a test drive on NIN at the mamool ja exp camp.

5:00 cool down on reusing, duration 3:00 (can be de-equiped and effect remains active)

damage from the enthunder (I used the thunder mitts) was 10 damage (unresisted)

the catch was the resist rate was absolutely horrible. 9 times out of 10 swings (or more) I got 1/8 resist (1 damage)

rarely I'd get the 2 damage (1/4 resist), 5 damage (1/2 resist) and 10 damage (no resist)

Alot of enchantment equip was good in the past, so I had some hope for these, unfortunatly these didn't live up to my hopes.

[Allundaria]

Should have been using this.

Joking aside, have you tried those gloves against a mob that's weak to thunder? I'd imagine the resist rate should be lower, maybe to the point where it would be worth using them since +10 damage per swing is something like +100 attack effectively.
