So Im swinging my stick twice as often as my HE and THE and even though Im landing massive hits with my staff Im not seeiming to get as many EXP bits per strike as the edged counterparts. Is this normal? Why would I not train a staff as fast as edged, it doesnt seem reasonable. Perhaps I am hitting harder with my Nimsha and my Claymore, but still if Im swinging the stick twice as much shouldnt the learning be equal?

>Some weapons really need their exp calcs re-evaluated.

I dont think its the calcs, but instead a simple flaw in all the non-popular weapon classes in game.

I can find tons of 21/28 stone HE and 2HE, heavy slice and better weapons, but nothing really equivalent for QS. With such light, powerful edged weapons available its much easier to hit harder, faster, and fill your experience pool quicker than using any other melee weapon class.

>>They exist. Just not a common. I own a 22 stone hand carved old cane. That has "Heavy Impact".

I have one of these too, and it still doesn't learn as well as a forged HE broadsword.

Hell it takes like half an hour to lock staff sling in a swarm sometimes. :/ When I can lock my next weapon on the same rank in the same area in 30- sec to a min.

Forgive me, I quit for 4 years and missed this. Can canes no longer be carved with heavy impact, or simply not at that weight?

Almost threw out my 18 stone heavy impact cane thinking I could just carve another, but I guess I'm glad I didn't.

All canes carved are 50 stones with the basic Crossing quarterstaff appraisal

>>How much do the old canes go for?

I bought mine for 200. That was some time ago.
