Would this be worth keeping around after you get your light staff, if you are charming EM? My understanding is that Light/Apollos staff doesn't effect charm duration. If you are charming EM, maybe this axe in conjunction with your af would make for less chance of your pet coming uncharmed during fight
Charm duration: Everything else s the same apart from weapon slot. Monster signa vs De Saintre's Axe. Against tough crab (the same one) at sea serpent grotto. Monster signa - 2 mins 30 sec - exact De Saintre's Axe - 2 mins 30 sec - exact Other non CHR weapon - not done.
Charm success rate - not done. Hopefully someone can test that out with 1000 subject XD
only reason why the thing is so good yet so cheap is because it drops every time you do royal jelly just thought you'd all like to know that but otherwise a really good axe for bst
I'm not quite sure why this is so cheap. For BST/NIN.. This offhand with AF axe would be fantastic. I'm currently using it with mythril axe whilst I EXP to 40.
I used both of these.I found that this was better when I did DC vs EM (so I didn't take hate off my pet as much) and AF weapon for EM vs tough (since chr helped charm the EM pet and more dmg and str+ helped do more dmg to the monster without pulling hate from my pet ^^
This dropped on the 1st of 3 BCNM 40's I did with 2 RNG friends. Waughroon Shrine / Royal Jelly.
The history was a steady 100k. It sold after about 10-12 days. The AH returned it to me once, and it sold a day or two later. Mine was the only one on the AH for the entire time. The price history seemed to show that this was a fairly rare item, as the first one sold over 2 months prior.
So far one has sold on Bahamut for the princely sum of 300k. I won't be indulging myself with the AF Axe a level or so after this. i can only speculate, but i reckon this is most likely a BCNM drop.
Does anyone know if there is some sort of quest you do to get this item? I think it would be a very high amount of gil just like the BlackMage and Summoner AF counterparts at level 40... ; ;
