Octave Club

[Nazo]

Anyone know anything about this new club dropped from Lord of Onzozo? I'd assumed it was a rare/ex version of Kraken but the description on the wiki doesn't say anything about it randomly attacking up to 8 times. It seems kinda worthless if it doesn't.

[Feenicks]

People have got it to drop and they've done extensive testing ... so far nothing. People really have been trying hard to get a 'Attacks occasionally 2-8 times' effect on this thing but nothing's worked so far. So currently it's a worthless item that's damned hard to get.

A lot of people are comparing it to Spelunker's Hat right now.

Sheesh, I think I'd rather get Kirsteena's apron.

That might have come out differently then you had intended.

Yeah, so far the Octave Club just seems to be a joke item.

Is this some kind of Americanism I'm missing? :huh:

Looking at other recently added items like divisor ring and multiple ring, I wouldn't be surprised if it had a hidden latent of 2-8 hits if your level is a multiple of 8, which would make it ... well, interesting. Octave being a musical term might also indicate that a song would trigger it. That is of course assuming that there even is a hidden or latent effect on the item, which we've seen no evidence of.

never thaught of multiple of 8 hmm i may have to go kill for the drop and try it out on my war or rng (^.^)b

people have tested just about every song possible on it with no results so far.

the 8 thing is intriguing though.

[Sevv]

i still think it just a joke item i didnt get claim on tasi the other night =/

You know what's retarded about this item?

THERE'S NO WAY IT WILL ATTACK MULTIPLE TIMES.

WHY everyone is trying to figure out latents to make it attack more than once is beyond me. If it worked like that, people would DW it with KC. Tada! that helped game balance so much! My guess is that there is a hidden effect, and that it probably has to do with the number 8 or music. My guess is that the effect will be anything under the sun except multi-hits.

People on KI testing for music were like "let's try every song in the book, and see if any of them make me multi-attack." Did any of them try... I dunno... seeing if Minuet's benefit increased? Maybe if a BRD uses it, it gives all their songs+1? (an octave "higher" in game terms could be normal effect +1).

But actually, I expect that there's some method of increasing it's base damage. There's the Tredecim method and the Company method - neither of which I've seen tested so far. Hell, it could be "has 8 debuffs on at the time." Marlboro slayer.

Nobody would dual weild this with KC except maybe RNG or COR. Their extra TP is their strong point, not their damage

I do agree though that it's somewhat unlikely that this attacks multiple times, personally i'd like to see what SE's cruel jokes are all about (in fact, i'm gonna post a thread on that)

[Sevv]

i bet i can make it double attack with /war or brutal on =P

[Mog]

I've got a sick theory. You need the kraken club to activate the latent on the Octave club. There you go.

[Feba]

Actually, I was reading over some posts last night, and the theory above might be incorrect. Apparently attacks are limited to 8 times per round/WS, so it would be impossible to go over that, no matter the circumstances...although two weapons would boost rates up extremely high, it would still be limited to 8 strikes.

[Lmnop]

I think 2 swings (from dual wield) would be able to hit that limit twice -- or else, if you swung 8 times with KC while Dual Wielding, you'd simply not get to swing with your offhand weapon (IF you were main handing KS for some reason).

Theoretically, a THF with KC/ Justice sword could get 8 swings off of the Kraken and 2 attacks to proc on the Justice sword - and have both Justice swings Triple Attack. That would be fun.

However, for a single hit, it's supposedly impossible to swing more than 8 times (though it's impossible to hit that many times anyway). Weapon Skills are apparently proven to only be able to go up to 8.

[Sevv]

you can exceed 8 in a round. seen joyuese proc followed by 8 on kraken
