I know, I know... but sometimes you gotta prove the inevitable. But truly after 2 days of camping that SoB, that RFS doesn't exist. The only 2hb you'll get is that IFS.

That makes me a very sad clown.

I recently decided to twink a toon and thought it would be fun to put this on a low-level monk. This did turn out to be a fun staff to play with from 1-35, especially with a Cloak of Flames backing it up.

When I started searching for this, I saw one for 150k in the bazaar (Bertox server). Since both the seller and I agreed that 150k is insanely high, we agreed on 45k and I bought the staff.

About two months later, I'm done with the staff (on to bigger and better weapons) and I'm looking to get rid of it. It doesn't look like anyone else is willing to spend quite as much as I was for it. Does anyone know the going price on one of these, as of September 2005?

I was recently given this weapon by a monk changing servers and it is SICK!! I was using a Peacebringer before 28/30 i beleive.... there is no comparison!! I kill mobs twice as fast as with the PB leaving me with more health than i would otherwise have. I have not used an IFS but since it is close to the stats as a PB i would assume that it would be comperable. I can get in up to about 10 hits before the mob even touches me! (i have SCHW too though). THe only problem is too much aggro... I am the only person that has aggro in a group even with twinked Shadowknights and Warriors. My only question concerns the price (not that i ever plan on selling it =D, just curious) . I've heard anywhere from 4k to 30k. Has anyone purchased this item or sold it?

I had this and sold it for 9k. It was great. The biggest problem with this item is the wt. and the aggro.

the aggro problem is because you are level 36 =) when you group with better tanks you wont have those probs anymore plus you can FD quick to get rid of aggro and keep fighting =)
RFS comeback

I agree about bringing RFS - or something similar back in business.

Not many people like fast 2hb, we all know since the damage bonus change that they do not do as much damage as before, but still... I myself prefer 2hb weapons and I always liked RFS despite it's damage handicap because of the way it looks when fighting and the 2hb swing sound.

I would like to see something of similar sort, mabye a 24/25 or something with some sort of a proc or nice stats. With all the new weaponry coming out lately I'm quite disapointed that no fast 2hb have been introduced =(
Bring it back!
# Jun 04 2002 at 11:08 AM Rating: Decent
It strikes me that with the advent of Luclin you can acquire some pretty cool weapons, looking at some of the 1 handers and 2 handers for PAL/SK i've seen weapons with stats like 24 20 or thereabouts and 2 handers with even better ratios. Now to my point, surely this weapon is no longer too good to be in the game and i wonder why they can't reintroduce it. Its not over-powering considering what u can now acquire. I feel they should look at some of the things they've removed and see if any of the new-ish expansions offer superior items, meaning they could bring them back without too much hassle. I know not everything could come back because some things were way too good but most i feel are not over powered in todays equipment scene

Well I (my 52 monk Mekiku) bought one today for 7.5k. It rocks!.. I really liked my Wu's Quivering Staff (23/28) but it was 9 stone. This is also 3 stone lighter. With my SCHW and this RFS I cut thru them bad guys like a ginsu blade..
RE: Bring it back!
# Jul 22 2002 at 4:02 PM Rating: Decent
It was deemed too powerful to drop where it dropped at...High end kunark and high end luclin are entirely different things...

besides, it was replaced with a 28/30 monk stick.

RFS vs.TS vs. IFS
# Mar 15 2002 at 7:42 PM Rating: Decent
Well, all weapons have about the same dmg ratio and all are very nice weapons but what about when we add haste?? 75% of monk on Fennin Ro have a haste item, most have FBSS. This staff with FBSS is 19/17, TS is 29/25 with proc, and IFS is 38/33. Then you gotta add in all the other factors. IFS has WAY more dmg bonus then either weapon and is lighter with 4 weight then 6 stones on RFS and the 10 stones on TS. Weight is VERY important to monks and 10 weight basically means all your other armor has to weight like 8 pounds depending on lvl to stay under weight without losing huge ac. Never heard about a speed dmg bonus for having weapon under 26 dly but it can't be too much since i tested myself against a 40 monk (me being 36 with kd) He had a jmace and i watched him hit awhile.. he maxed out at 36 and was hitting on average in the mid 20s, i hit with my kd and hit 46 with average around mid 30s. Keep in mind i was lower lvl then him and prolly will hit low 50s when i am lvl 40. His weapon was 9/15 and mine 14/23 each of us with our haste items (him fbss, me SCHW) If anyone can post a link to any information on this weapon delay/dmg bonus please do. Otherwise, this is my opinion.
DMG bonus

Dude, dmg bonus is different for people of different level.
#REDACTED, Posted: Nov 10 2001 at 2:00 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) dmg bonus was changed to 6 now =)
RE: 2hb dmg bonus 1
# Apr 29 2002 at 8:42 PM Rating: Decent
Damage bonus is player based. Lvl and class of perosn looking at it change damage bonus.
No longer drops
# Nov 01 2001 at 1:57 PM Rating: Decent
Supposedly it still drops, but has been moved to Veeshan's peak
Not that great
# Sep 23 2001 at 12:57 PM Rating: Default
This thing isnt as great as everyone thinks. You could do more damage with a tranquil staff or an IFS because this thing has no 2h dmg bonuse. Any 2h weapon with a dly of 20 or lower gets no 2h bonus damage. Its basicly like having a 19/20 1hb in your main hand with fire bettle eye in you offhand.
RE: Not that great
# Jan 08 2002 at 2:00 AM Rating: Decent
Yes it has no 2handed dmg bonus, but it gets its damage bonus applied much more then a TS or IFS. This is better then a IFS for the same reason a jade mace is better then a knuckle duster. It does cause more aggro then an IFS, so on raids sometimes it is better to use a IFS over RFS

Actually i think the best monk 2b is or was Ton Po's Staff of Learning... check it out. Off Trakkie

RE: .
# Sep 15 2001 at 9:35 PM Rating: Decent
well ton po's staff never made it to live server .

my vote for best tradeable monk staff would be the "tranquil staff" its dmg29 del30 and procs 100blows( 150dd with up to 10sec stun unresistable ) im even told the stun isnt resistable by gods or dragons , iv'e never actualy used one on a god so i cant vouche for it but i have been told by more then one monk using this staff that it does stun gods

once again this is just my opinion not a fact
Well
# Jul 27 2001 at 12:17 PM Rating: Excellent
Actually it's not Ton Po's Staff of Learning it's called Ton Po's Bo stick of Understanding (what a tongue twister!) You silly druids never cease to amaze/befuddle me =P
2 things about that staff...
A) It dropped only once on test, and
B) That item is NOT LIVE... you will never see one unless you meet the monk on test who has it.
There's some 40/35 VP staff, but it won't get the 40+ delay damage bonus.


This thing (RFS, the item this thread is about) is sickening, 19/20 is a lot better than the tranquil staff (29/30) simply because of your damage bonus, since you're swinging much more than with the TS.

Edit: The Tranquil staff has an uber proc: 120 damage and 8 second or so stun. the stun part of it cannot be resisted. So I'd say go with that one when you hit 50 and it finally procs. Without the proc, RFS is much better :)
RE: Well
# Sep 23 2005 at 10:15 PM Rating: Decent
ACTUALLY the staff is live... there are like 3 on EMarr in the bazaar. of course it must be hella rare being around 150-200k ea =\

just to be clear if people read post.
TS DD is unresistable, stun part is.

Common drop off the frenzied pox scarab is the deepwater bracer, rare is the imbued fighters staff. I have killed the scarab 3 times now and all 3 times he has had the DW bracer.

he no longer drops the RFS - the IFS replaced it. The RFS no longer drops in game
RE: Loot
# Apr 09 2001 at 7:01 AM Rating: Default
I love my RFS and I am never gonna give it away :)
IFS is ok, but my avarage dmg/s is way lower than rfs. I cant wait to try rfs with cf and everything. Woohoo
Grandfathered?

does this item still drop? i have heard people say that it does not anymore..
Nerfed
# Jan 29 2001 at 2:44 AM Rating: Default
this weapon has been nerfed in a patch a while ago regarding that this weapon is too powerful for a warrior to use making them superior to further races including the monk with dmg dealing (crippling blows, criticals, etc.) so it has now been reduced to monk only
