Also an alternative to Aeolian Edge is Flash Nova which PUP/WAR would have at 92 with capped club skill. You can't boost it's damage as high as you can with A.Edge but it is an alternative.

Something to note that there is a "Catch 22" with farming base feet: The higher your Amber the more gold chests you get but that also means the more possible things can load in the chests.
So what's the optimal numbers for farming feet? Amber 120 is what someone told me? Amber 120 and capped pearl.

I understand that most jobs don't have effective secondary weapons, and that's fine, I just meant that I don't understand why BST has C+ and gets largely unique WS's where PUP doesn't. I don't know a single BST who actively uses Dagger for anything, except maybe Twilight for TP gain. Just seems weird when you consider H2H and Dagger are our only real skills (again, we get club, but meh).

I mean, it doesn't matter in the long run, it just kind of made me raise a brow. I wouldn't want PUP to be DNC, THF tier, but I don't see why we couldn't at least get a on a few of the other WSs. Just for variety's sake.


Meanwhile -- I don't understand why more jobs don't have alternative weapon types to begin with, but that's a whole other conversation.
