    After spending some time farming Nightshadow badges, examining the crimsonwood exchange quest, and comparing the time required to craft Night Raven Claws to the time required to attain other end game weapons, I think crafting Night Raven Claw's deserves some sort of change.

    This post also took into consideration the 'OPness' of Night Raven Claw's in comparison to the 'OPness' of other possible endgame weapons, both within class and not-within class. I used a thread made by 'thetavi' comparing lowdex to dexless, but quickly realized the low dex claw attacks are vastly understated compared to what is easily available here.

    I have calculated that currently, for me (lvl 125 NL, 1198-2160 range), it takes 19-23 minutes to farm 11 Nightshadow badges. The exchange quest requires 50 badges per completion, and there is an equal 1/11 chance (correct me if i'm wrong here, I very well could be) to receive either a Raven Claw or a Tao of Shadows. This means that, on average, it will take a person 550 Night Shadow badges to craft one NRC. 11 is 2% of 550.

    21 minutes * 50(%) / 60(minutes) = 17 hours to create 1 Night Ravens Claw. Assuming you are using stimulators, an average of 35 hours to create 1 scrollable Night Ravens Claw. I'm sure this is MUCH faster for bishops, maybe taking them 20 hours total to create one scrollable Night Ravens Claw, but this isn't a thread about the ridiculous farming inequality (on top of leech selling) power Bishops currently hold.

    On top of this, the tao required to create the NRC is also one of the taos required to create Balanced Fury throwing stars.

    Now for comparisons:

    Compared to lowdex NLs: 48-50 atk Cravens have been dropping from both Zakum, Black Kents, and Gacha(?) for months and are widely available for scrolling or upgrading to sleeve.. crafting a 53-55 attack sleeve and landing a 2-4 30s on it is not very hard, aside from the expensiveness/rarity of Claw for 30% attack scrolls.

    Compared to Heroes: have been able to locate many of their OP endgame weapon, Stonetooth, via Gachapon. Finding (and apparently, perfecting :rolleyes:) one is not so hard.

    Compared to a less used class such as dexless sins (one in which crafting is required), Corsairs: Using the FM it takes an average of 6m to upgrade a gun to a Dragon Revolver (thanks, mesowine)

    Compared to Dark Knights: A bit tougher, but both Zakum and Manon drop dat naka'

    I do not believe everything should be easy or equal. However, equality in endgame weapon creation is the single most important factor (besides skills) that impacts the equality between classes :eek:

    Thoughts, ideas, endgame weapon stories, and an average time it takes to farm 11 nightshadow badges for a bishop are all much encouraged in this here thread MapleF14
