did the augment fight twice today

base stats on the weapon are 186 delay, 22 dmg in offhand, 27 dmg in mainhand


first fight got the augment
accuracy +7, silence +11

second fight gave me the augment
dmg +4, triple attack +1, silence +6

ppl had to go so didn't do more than that, but declined both.
did the fight in grauberg, was pretty easy

here's ss of the second one, forgot to ss the first

I haven't seen any other augments on this on BG...just everyone and their fuckin' GKT.

But, as for a free dagger, any good THF oriented stats would make it a candidate for an offhand dagger, if you're main handing Blau, and don't have a SK.

[Eaglestrike]

It looks it'd need to be a perfect combination of effects to be worthwhile for long term use, but those stats at least look decent for PvP. Since PvP in FFXI is huge.

[synthetic]

yeah i'm not really expecting anything great, just figured it was worth a try

[synthetic]

saw someone got +10 h2h on the pup weapon, that shit would be hotness for dagger

[BuGGaTon]

if it had +10 dagger skill and nothing else it'd be useful for what exactly? 9.0 DPS in mainhand and 7.35 DPS in offhand. Don't think i'd find a use for this. Other than taking a screenshot of having a higher dagger skill than anyone else... and even then i'd be like "Well wtf who cares?"

what's the silence proc rate on it compared with a garudas? Low manning or soloing mages is the only time i'd see this being useful. 10DPS is good so if we can get some higher DMG ratings that'd be nice ^^;

[synthetic]

it'd still have to be paired with some decent dmg.

thf really got fucked on this one, dnc and brd daggers both have higher base dmg than thf...

imma try some more tonite, so 3 moar tries unless i get dmg +10, dagger skill +10 and triple attack +5... lawl

[pathwriter]

The whole "main hand" nonsense is what is really the problem. You'd need an unholy combination of augments (possible but not counting on it) to compete with Blau Dolch. On the other hand, it does reward the lucky who are too lazy to get Blau. Hooray mediocrity?

[treelo]

Seems to me, as far as these weapons are concerned anyway, that SE failed to take into account already existing equipment. 10 skill wouldn't be such a bad augment if the base damage were higher. While it might make a fairly decent off-hand weapon for people without a s.kukri, I can't think of any combination that would put this anywhere near the top main-hand daggers.

Perhaps it says more about how THF has been treated in previous updates when they struggle to find a subtle way of improving what we already have. Everything else has been at least a tier or two below what you would consider the best equipment.

3rd attempt

dmg +3, accuracy+8, subtle blow+5

i'm really looking for a minimum of dmg +6 preferably 7 to actually use the dagger, if the base dmg in main hand could at least = my blau or x's it could be decent, still prob have to get lucky as shit with other bonus stats, but we gonna spam a few of these tonite. i got ls leader interested in this for his pld gonna at least try 1 or 2 more weapons after these 5 are up.

[Melos]

For a free augmented weapon, those are some decent stats. But I agree, I'd need to see at least a +6 DMG increase before I considered offhanding it.

[synthetic]

fourth run dmg +4, triple attack +1, subtle blow +6

[Shamaya]

I guess even if you can't get it to exceed Blau or X's base damage you could still use it in the mainhand and just deal w/ sacrificing some WS damage in favor of better DoT, at least if one had good enough luck with the stats.

A little interesting still I guess.. I do use subtle blow but even so I'd still prefer to offhand Ermine's Or use Ermine's/Adder combo since I can cap subtle blow when necessary with changeable equipment. Speaking of Adder's I'm probably going to try buffing that with FoV. Really hoping I don't get the shaft on that one.

[synthetic]

fifth try
dmg+5, attack +1, subtle blow +4

buying another dagger QQ

[Shamaya]

lmao

[synthetic]

after 4 attempts in xarc we finally win one...

Accuracy +6, Attack +1, Stun+9

lololol

[synthetic]

5th try

dmg +4, Acc+3, Subtle blow +7

[Shadowmeld]

Really, if this could get a +6 damage upgrade, it would be a good dagger to main hand with Blau for DoT. 33 base damage 186 delay is pretty good, might even be able to compete with SK if you get other good augments on it. Even if it only gets +5, might be a good one to main hand with blau even with the -1 base damage. It really depends on the other augments though.

[synthetic]

10 tries on dagger and i'm unimpressed, starting scythe now, it has much better starting stats.

[synthetic]

someone on bg got dmg +5, accuracy +10, triple attack +1

thats prob the best i've seen, even still that dmg is a bit lower than i'd want in my main hand
