Though you are right. I pressume that ppl like myself would use this wand for the +7 INT. I am an Elvaan and as everyone knows Elv.. have LOW INT as it is. I would definitely use this wand for it, till I get something better. ^^
in my experiences (i have had and used both), lilith's rod owns this club. First, liliths rod has 4 more base dmg and can be equipped 8 lvls lower. Secondly, on all days the mp drain effect on lilith's rod is activated far more frequently. the only advantage of this club is the 2 INT. While this item is cheeper, it's definitely not better.
The additional effect on this weapon activates pretty rarely.
UNLESS... Darksday. Equip this thing on Darksday, and it activates over 90% of the time, in my experience. It's really a great thing to have, if you're in an MP-mob area for farming.
I drain 18-20 MP off of too weak crabs at Club Skill 157.
<3 my club. Just thought I'd share that information.
Ok, so I took this thing out to Rolanberry Fields at night. I killed 2 bats and 1 skeleton. The additional effect when off on the first mob around 75% TP. I have a feeling it works like dark staff and other additional effect stuff. It effects when it feels like it. If anyone has their own opinion please add it. I still think it's cool for skillups and it's damn cheap!! I might get a mithril wand to replace it since the INT/MND add is better but this is good for my broke *** right now.
