Posted October 9, 2013 The humble staff, weapon of many in the middle ages. Damn useful while hiking as well!New Feature : When a staff is equipped a minor speed bonus (1% per 20QL?) is granted, a small (again 1% per 20QL?) stamina buff is given when climbing (takes less stamina to climb that is).New Feature : Increase staff block rate against mobs (not players)New Item : Iron/Steel Shod StaffMaterials : 1 Staff, 1 Staff EndsNotes : Repairable/Improvable staff (uses wood) with a buff (15 normal fighting, 15 fighting skill and 15 polearms should be enough to take down mountain lions/wolves at Q20 without being murdered horribly).New Item : Carved StaffMaterials : Staff, Carving KnifeNotes : Repairable/Improvable staff, grants an additional 1% speed and climbing bonus per 20QL.New Item : Engraved StaffMaterials : Staff, Carving Knife (?)Notes : Engraved staffs are slightly mysterious objects. They grant a 1% skillgain bonus per 20QL, however which skill is not known (each one gives a different skill), the type of skill given depends on the skills of the maker (basically the more points you have in a skill the more likely it is to be that one). New Item : Staff EndsMaterials : 1kg of Iron or SteelNotes : A crafting item Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 9, 2013 The only one there I like would be the speed and climbing bonus, but I don't see the point as most use horses...I am however all for balancing the weapons and making the staff a useful weapon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 9, 2013 The shod staff already sorta exists, except it's made of just steel and uses steel to improve.I would love to see an iron version of it/parry rate for staffs be buffed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 9, 2013 Steel staves are pretty useful weapons as it is. Wooden ones could use a buff of some sort though. Also this is slightly off-topic but please add ada/glimmer versions of the metal staff, thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 9, 2013 +1 on shod staff not sure if the the carved stuff would be that usefull so +/-0and -1 on the engraved stuff. i would prefer to see that feature on necklaces. also wooden staffs should be to turned to impable, especialy because of the wizard-staff thing.

Posted October 9, 2013 +1 to buffing and expanding upon staves. I think they also deserve a new model as well. the current wooden staff looks like a crusty curtain rod with plastic tips. Always have wanted to use one, but yea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 9, 2013 I take it you play on freedom? Please explain to me how a staff is a useful weapon? Deadly hards + 2x damage against mounted players is a pretty fun combination Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 9, 2013 I take it you play on freedom? Please explain to me how a staff is a useful weapon? Staves are easily better than huge axes from what I've seen. Thing about Wurm is that just because everyone and his grandma uses a LMS and a longsword, it doesn't render other weapons weak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 9, 2013 I did a bunch of testing with staves, halberds and whatnot in the test server a while back.Longswords always come out on top. The way the game is balanced in favor of NEEDING a shield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Staves are easily better than huge axes from what I've seen. Thing about Wurm is that just because everyone and his grandma uses a LMS and a longsword, it doesn't render other weapons weak. My grandma uses shortsword, longsword overbalances her and she could fall and break her hip Also +1 for anything that adds more weapon variety Edited October 10, 2013 by Bart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
