I'm nearing level 48 on my cleric and I'm debating whether I should keep my arc staff or get a cromi. I have a calaf and level 50 things, and the only thing left to decide on is a weapon and I'm having some trouble with that ... Half of my friends said keep the arc staff and the other half said get a cromi so I'm indifferent about the decision. Lol I tried a pro and con list about both and here's what I have .. Lol .. I got a little help from friends too xD arc staff [pro] - it looks cool =D - "think of all of the memories!!" [friend ... Lol] [con] - when I try to have fun and attack snails, its kinda slow xD - mesos down the drain [whoosh, but I can get it back easily ...] *cromi [pro] - zomgz lvl 48 :O [friend's idea] - I can use the scrolls for wands that I have x_x - "I GET AN ARC STAFF!" [friend ... rofl] [con] - poor arc staff goes bye bye [friend's idea too lol] - "wands < arc staff" [don't flame me if you prefer wands :O its quoted x_x] sooo ... Little help please ...

i like wands better xD exceot for evil wings..-_- that staff is awesome, so yeah id get cromi, its fsater and since its a higher lvl requirement, its stronger

if you wanna be stronger (by a little bit) choose cromi. If you wanna be weaker but kooler then choose arc staff. I was gonna go with arc staff myself but my old green starlight went well with cromi (wasnt gonna get a calas). So i got a cromi then soon after i got a dark starlight...

I'd stick with arc unless you can get like a godly scrolled cromi o_o I stuck with my arc staff till I could get an evil wings at 68 or so...Mostly because it looks better than cromi. And I prefer staffs over wands. Haha as for the whacky thing, yeah it's annoying to whack slow but EVIL WINGS WHACKS FAST!!! WOOO! >:D

meh, id stick with arc staff...cromis ugly, and there is no diff in spellcasting until 3rd job (no, EW is not faster, even though it has "fast" attack speed), where a skill will improve cast rate, not the weapon. i jsut dont like attacking things wit..a stub..its ..tiny..miniscule..who is threatened by a cromi?

cromi is like some weird... halloween lantern... green... thingy. arc staff looks more powerful T.T

thanks a bunch for posting =D yeah I prefer a staff over a wand; however, I might just get a scrolled cromi just to level a teeny bit faster + my friend wants an arc staff so I'll just give it to him rather than sell it =D

Ummm.... Arc Staff, 'cause I found it! And it is nicely above average to boot!

neither, i think. i'll get a fairy wand and stick with that until i get the you-know-what that requires a staff production manual, 2 refined bc, and a ton of plates to make (you know what i'm talking about right?)

I used an Arc staff till level 48, when I switched to a Cromi, slightly above average. Now I have it scrolled +4 INT and it is better than a clean Thorns. I noticed a slight difference in my attacks, when I got my Cromi clean, so I would say, it is all a personal descision. I just prefer wands, except ( which is seemingly a general trait ) for Evil Wings, which I want oh so badly. As for the attack, Arc staff and a Cromi are pretty much the same, so it is dependant on whether you either 1- want to buy a Cromi, or 2- already spent the money on an Arc staff. All a personal descision. Good luck, happy mapling.
