Mercurial Kris or Kirin's Osode

[Omni]

I've having a tough time deciding on where I should put my points to. Osode or gil so I can purchase an mercurial kris.

Kirin's Osode:
+10 All stats
Mercurial Kris:
Dmg: 8
Occasionally attacks 2-3 times.

So currently, I have these pros and cons for each piece.

Kirin's Osode
Pros: Best body piece for rng merit and endgame. Can use for other jobs I play (bst, war, mnk, nin) too.
Cons: Other body pieces are close in dmg output (ie: archers jupon). Other pieces dont cost anything (osode costs me dkp).

Mercurial Kris:
Pros: nice tp weapon. helps save on bullets if I tp mainly with kris. would be great for other jobs i have (cor, drk, thf). available at lv. 50.
Cons: not really viable for high defense mobs. hmm cant think of anything else atm.

I'd like to hear what you guys have to say if you had to pick one of these items and any reasoning behind it.

Keep in mind that the main purpose would be for rng but, utility with other jobs is also nice.

Thanks

Unless your weapon has exactly 1 DMG, its DMG is totally irrelevant to whether it hits for 0 or not. A player is just as likely to hit for 0 using a Mercurial Kris as he is using a 90-DMG Scythe, assuming Attack is the same.

The real drawback to Mercurial Kris is that it has a shitty DMG/sec compared to Lv.75 weapons. You're basically trading off melee damage for double TP gain.

Re: Mercurial Kris or Kirin's Osode

As much as I'd like the have the MK, I'd probably still go with Osode based on the broader job application and stats for your BST, RNG, MNK and NIN. That's just huge versatility for the jobs you have and very useful.

I see MK as nice for EXP and Merit, maybe even Limbus but even with my Joytoy and full sword merits, there's endgame mobs I'll probably never touch with it as much as my ranged weapons.

MK does have a small edge of Joyeuse in terms of TP gain, but that's really just speaking as a COR since you can boost your own TP gain, especially so with SAM present for Samurai Roll, its just sick how much TP you get then.

I'd go with Osode because the benefits for you are much more vast. Camp a Joyeuse when the time comes for your COR. It practically just as good and, better, its FREE.

In short: Osode
In long version: See what they are gonna do with RNG in WotG. Or see if there's any new better body piece than Osode in WotG. From there, you decide it by yourself

Yea, that little blurb about rng getting some new goodies got me all excited.

Hmm, thanks for the input guys.

I have to hop on the Osode train here, it drives me nuts that the only job of mine that can use it gets the least use out of it(BRD). Considering that it also has the residual stats of 5 RAtk/4~ RAcc, it really is nice, and really a MK just has too low of DPS to make it worth it IMO. Although your TP gain would be a bit slower just shooting for it, I'd have to think your overall damage would end up higher if you used RAtks for TP.

Osode.
Probably based in no small part that I don't have one and still lust after it.
