R30 Staff vs R50 Staff (both from dungeons).

Hey, i was wondering, after i checked both staff, it's appear that the R30 staff have better stat than the R50.

Heart of House d'Arlendre R30
Dex+3 Pie+3 Eva+3
Magic Potency+14 Magic Accuracy+5
Critical Magic Accuracy+5

Astaroth Cane R50
Vit-3 Int+5
Magic Potency+10 Magic Accuracy+10
Critical Magic Accuracy+10

Can we say, the Heart of House d'Arlendre is better (or almost) than the Astaroth Cane ?

cane is better imo

It's a hard call. I think they could both operate well either way.

Side note, what quest gives you the "Heart of House d'Arlendre"? I've never heard of it before and can't find it anywhere.

I got it in the dungeon R25, one of the boss drop it.

Because it's Rank higher than the other ?

Some testing appear to say that 5 INT is +1 Magical Potency, as a mage doesn't really use their WS skills, do we care about the modifier ?

VIT appear to enhance Enhancing magic, -3 VIT would lead to -1 Enhancing magic.

The attributes are quite different, though:

Heart of House d'Arlendre
Magic Potency 118
Magic Accuracy 128
Crit. Hit 138
*Attack 11
*Accuracy 132
*Parrying 66
Fire 60%
Earth 30%
Lightning 10%


Astaroth Cane
Magic Potency 160
Magic Accuracy 152
Crit. Hit 152
*Attack 16
*Accuracy 152
*Parrying 76
Earth 50%
Wind 50%

You gave the stats before 1.19 here. it have changed. see my first post for real stats.

I still think the Astaroth is the better of the two for the bonus M.acc and M.Crit.acc. Those two things outweigh the (-4) difference in M.pot for me.

You should use a jade crook with hell's fist IV.

Maybe gamble and overupgrade to two hell's fist since the crooks cost 50k and the materias cost like 100k.

Thanks for the information, but that's not my point, i just tried to know what the best between the two of them.

why the hell a lvl 30 weapon have similar/equal to a lvl 50 cane? SE needs to rebalance or make adjustments, iam not sure if they gonna make adjustments to gear/weapon stats on the next patch.

not only weapons. for example Lv30 armor from ship NM is a better choice over most Lv.50 caster armors.

Nevermind*
