well this is a bad wep for whm trust me i kno you would be better of using the "ash staff" for the extra hp and mp this is too long delay if your soloing but in a pt its good because u dont actually hit, but it looks better than most staffs so thats a good point
i have found out that if you repeatedly, then you might come out with a +1, i wasnt leved really that much higher and i kept making my item and i came out with a +1

The cow aint fat This verse aint clever But thank god it's friday Same as ever
I boost every second round of attack with H2H. If you use math to actually count 2 fist blows versus 1 hit with the pole, H2H wins every time.
The only reason to level a pole as a MNK is if you in fact leveling a white mage subjob in anticipation of Chi Blast. The pole comes in handy to use with Hundred Fists, but as a common weapon it is seriously subpar.
Okay, I realize this game is nothing like EverQuest. But, since it's the only MMORPG I know, the weapons seem like crap. How do you figure out if a weapon is good or not?
I just got this weapon for my 7 Monk, and 11 damage is nothing to scoff at before level 10 or so, as far as I can tell. Without attempting to go so far as calculating DPS, for a weapon that you can equip at level 5 it's very nice; Especially with boost as a monk. You can boost every 2nd or 3rd attack (for more damage) with this weapon, as opposed to every 3rd or 5th (lower dmg attack) with a hand-to-hand weapon.
From what I gather, a weapons "measurement" is the same as EQ's. There's damage and delay (and from what I can tell, the delay is measured in similar fashion to EQ, milliseconds or something. Thus, a weapon (say for example the ash club above) with a delay of 402 will have a (approx) 4.02 second delay. You can figure out DPS and thus the rating of a weapon just like EQ.
Not a bad weapon...for lvl 5, but will mostly be used by people who are leveling the sub class close a newb city. And yes, delay is pretty on this but then it is a 2 hand-weapon and have high damage for the level requierement. BLM and WHM weapon mostly.
Not a bad recipe to try you woodwork either, those can sell higher than the cost of the materials while enhancing newb woodwork skills.
