Notes[]
- The higher the enhancement of a Rusted Weapon, the higher the chance it will inflict Torpor and Poison with each successive strike.
- (Glitch) The dragonforged staff has a display glitch where it shows as weighing one less than the true value (in the Equipment menu only) - this glitch affects all equipment with exactly integer weight, but is not thought to affect gameplay.
