Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 983 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 983 Donate  | Staff or Club? Ok well I am in a little bit of trouble, and I havent seen this anyware on the forums. Anywho, I wanted to ask, what is better to use a Staff or Club? I have had a few people tell me to use a club, and a few people to use a staff. Is it just one of those things that you use if it feels right? Ok, well I hope you understand the question lol. |  | ::Quote Selected::  | | | 12-09-2007, 10:05 AM | #2 (permalink) | | Boom de yada!

But it's not just staff/club; for meleeing, you generally want either a hammer (not a club or wand) and shield, or a pole (not a staff). Though there are exceptions, like the Legionnaire's Staff, etc.
For partying, where you don't melee, you'll want a wand for the MND/INT boosts.  Ellipses on Fenrir There is no rush. If you're not willing to take your time, don't be surprised when no one wants to give you much of theirs.

I actually soloed the 2nd part of my NPC quest where I fight this dragon in BCNM and my npc came in. I beat it as white mage in level 40 cap fight lol. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 12-10-2007, 08:22 AM | #5 (permalink) | | Dynamis Guru Join Date: May 2006 Location: Roe Dilund Posts: 586 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood:  Thanks: 267
Thanked 54x in 45 Posts Gil: 29,622 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 29,622 Donate | Re: Staff or Club? I'm gonna echo the sentiment here - you should go with clubs that are either Hammer-type (i.e. Darksteel Maul) or Mace-type (i.e. Purgatory Mace, Sea Robber/Seawolf Club, Kraken Club).

Not that hammers aren't cool. Go, hammers, go. Ellipses on Fenrir There is no rush. If you're not willing to take your time, don't be surprised when no one wants to give you much of theirs.

Thanked 478x in 316 Posts Gil: 1,278 Bank: 148,450 Total Gil: 149,728 Donate | Re: Staff or Club? For levels 1-10, Staff beats Club. More accuracy, more damage, due to the better modifiers from STR and DEX on 2-handed weapons.
From level 10-50, Club beats Staff. Wands (especially the above-mentioned Pilgrim's Wand) are the way to go to improve your magic potency.
From level 51-75, unless you're soloing (and sometimes even then), Staff all the way due to Elemental Staves and higher damage staves.
