Yeah.. I was hunting Hippogryphs in Riverne site #B01, and Imdugud popped.. So, we killed it, and it dropped the lance.. I asked them to allow me to try it out on bones before we sell it, to see how it worked..
Okay.. now.. Keep in mind, I DO have a Bourdonasse, and I KNOW it is blunt..
On average, my bourdonasse will do upwards to 300 damage PER HIT on a Lost soul in the entrance to eldieme..
Heavy lance did ~97 per hit.
CONCLUSION: It's definately NOT blunt.
The rather interesting thing is though, that the additional effect procs often.. But in general, I wouldn't really see this item as worth it, mostly due to it's rather long delay per damage.
I bought this lance the other day to try it out, but I'm not noticing any difference at all. It does the same damage on bones as my grand knight's lance.
Just read in another thread about where to get this insanely wonderful lance: "its a NM hyppogryph(sp?) named Imdgund least thats what he remembered. The NM is at Riverne - Site #B01. So happy hunting. " thanks a bunch, traizedrg ^^
Ok why get this lance..... The reason is this is one of two spears in the game that arent weak against Bones. The other is the Bourdanesse or however its spelled. Spread the word that Drgs can indeed take skeletons just gotta have the right equip
Ok, I just got one of these for 110k on Phoenix. It doesn't seem to do blunt dmg, but it does normal dmg. Meaning, it's not crazy dmg but the normal dmg I would do to non-bones with a lance. Now, the Bourdanesse does do blunt. I've seen a lv70 DRG with one the other night, he was doing 250-300 dmg per hit to the Eldamine coffer bones. I did my testing real quick on some Lost Souls near the zone. I was hitting about 100-150 per hit. BUT, my staff was hitting that hard too. Keep in mind, my staff skill is 199, using a Battle Staff. So, it seems they hit just as hard, but staff is slightly lower delay. So, it seems to come down to WS's. In the time I had, my penta did about 250, all 5 hits too. Staff WS's so far suck, but I'm < .5 from Full Swing, which I hear is a really good WS. It seems to me this lance, along with the Bourdanesse, still does crappy dmg with WS. Well, there's my quick analysis. If anyone else has it, please tell us your results too.
Gravity lowers a mob's evasion- and that helps everyone in your party. Supposedly the additional effect procs quite often, so it's probably as good or better than +7 accuracy (unless you have a RDM to cast gravity already).
Some people may not have the money to spare inorder to get the grand knights lance, from what i read onthe forums it is expensive. But +7 acc and 2 lvls lower than this... it may be worth to farm for a Grand Knights Lance
