[X] My Assistant

So I notice that no one seems to know what the "of Desctruction" suffix means. I've been looking at it, and I think it gives a generic +magic damage bonus. I've noticed that most of the staves linked in this thread with that suffix tend to have more +magic damage on them than others. Unfortunately, the base +damage on staves, and the bonus from Destruction are so random that it's hard to be sure. However, since we don't know the "of Slaughter" equivalent for magic, "of Destruction" sounds like it could be that equivalent.

It was this staff, which I recently picked up, which gave me the idea.

I've seen worse, 13 parry is pretty solid for a rapier.

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) what %parry is good for a rapier of the nimble at this level for you?

I have confirmed the + MDM for "the Destruction". I have two Redwood D-Staves and an Ebony one that eliminates the Redwood bonuses, like + Forbidden Prof.,.

What?! Other people read the thread, too? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Reading everyone else's posts helped me to score two equipment upgrades after PM'ing people about their drops.

Update to The HentaiVerse Equipment Database in Post 1...

Exquisite - Ultra Rare
Magnificent - Beyond Rare - Best known grade

Ethereal - A special sub-Grade that is Magic-friendly and has Zero Interference and Burden. Ultra Rare

Destruction - Magic Damage Multiplier bonus

*****

I am assuming that the top grades can still drop, if you get luckier than ever before, and Destruction was verified above.

There's also the Legendary grade that Tenboro hinted at once or twice. I guess it's a moot point as to whether or not it really exists, though.

If you're serious about maintaining that post as a database of useful information, you might also want to update the Staffs section to say which set of bonuses you get from each type of wood... and I'm not sure I agree with your opinion as to what's "rare" and what goes straight to the shop when you get it.

Rare is the ease (or lack thereof) of getting it, and not the usefulness of it. If I get a drop of Exquisite Mithril Sword Chucks, I'll probably sell it instantly, even with the double high rarity of it.

Basically, Rare = hard to get. At times, Rare ≠ Great.

I was actually disagreeing on two separate points. Allow me to clarify.

1. You say Oak is "rare". 42.86% of the Staffs currently in my possession are Oak, which would tend to imply this is not the case.

2. You have Katalox as the "best known grade", and suggest that any other type is only good for selling off. Might I remind you that Rare ≠ Great? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) The few Katalox staffs whose details have been posted don't appear to be anything special - they just give a different combination of bonuses from the other woods. I certainly wouldn't exchange my Fine Ebony Staff of the Elementalist for any of them.
