Tstaff or Fungi

[Slonekb05]

Hey everyone just looking for some opinions. I recently won a TStaff... and me and my bro are doing a shammy/mnk duo ... currently we’re lv 17 but climbing quick. Anyway my question is .. should I keep the TStaff for mnk to use or trade it for a fungi? Someone mentioned to me that Dmg is capped until 30.. which isn’t to big of a deal.. like I said were LVing quickly. But for the purposes of going 30-50 TStaff or fungi for mnk? Thanks in advance

Fungi, 100%. T-Staff is over rated until at least 51, and even then you're not that far off with a Peacebringer. Trade it for a fungi or get lucky and sell it, buy a fungi for 41-42k and see if you can buy a peacebringer. if not, wu's quivering staff (*23/28 I think) would suit you fine for a long time

If you can only have one or the other,

Fungi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> T staff

T staff is cool, but it doesn't massively enhance your game like fungi does

Fungi means you're ticking your life back almost as fast as you're losing it unless you insist on fighting high lvl monsters. It means you can solo to 60 effortlessly doing literally anything you want anytime you want. It means you can FD, take a piss, and come back at full HP and ready to tank 2 mobs at once, not that you need to because you're a monk and have FD. It means you will *never* need a group again, but it does let you powerlevel your shaman buddy or whoever *you choose* to leach your exp. It means you never need to say "add me to list plz" because you can just do the entire camp without needing a group. T staff does none of that. It just marginally outperforms other, slightly worse weapons.

Fungi most OP tradeable item in the game, its kind if like an instant level 30 xp boost for melee. And then 50% xp increase after that

If you don't mind me asking - your posting history looks like you should not be able to get a KC pipe or a T Staff.

How did you happen upon these items? A cynic may postulate that fuckery is afoot...

Ha, no problem. I just started p99 a month or so ago. My main is a bard, currently lv54

Yeah I was wondering about that too:

Something doesn't add up there. I mean, I realize that there are some very nice older players who give out items to lowbies, and I personally have both received and given away a JBB to/from a complete stranger.

But a TStaff is like 4-5x the price of a JBB, and whenever someone gives a similarly priced item away (eg. a fungi) it's usually a big server-wide production, not a quiet hand-off to a n00b who is a complete stranger.

So was OP just insanely lucky, and just happened to get (quietly) given a 45k item by a complete stranger? Or did he "win" the TStaff by paying for it IRL? Inquiring minds want to know.

Sell the T staff and get your monk a Fungi, IFS, and Sash of the Dragonborn.

[Slonekb05]

You check out - now sell the Staff and get you a fungi

Haha. So should I be looking to make a strait up trade? Or does TStaff go for a little more plat than fungi?

[jijii]

fungi, it's not close

[Slonekb05]

Try to sell T staff for 45k and buy fungi for 40-42. It will probably be worth the extra couple AFK hours you spend in EC to accomplish this mission, padawan, unless you have a reliable way to make over 1k plat per hour

Okay will do. Thanks for advice everyone :)

What’s an IFS?

[Slonekb05]

Okay cool, I’ll look to grab one of those weps as well

[Womp824]

People frequently sell Fungi's for 41-42k though if you're /auc'ing WTB, which is why I suggested selling and buying a fungi and then a Peacebringer. The wu's staff I suggested is great, but Staff of Battle is only a little more and hits a lot harder so it'd serve you well for sure. Honestly I think you're best with that and then if you have 1-2k left over get some silver chitin hand wraps for that cheap haste. Those will last you until you get your epic for sure.

Just in case you missed my reply, I won it on my 54 bard

try to fight 30 mins with Fungi + Bare Hands, then 30 mins with T-Staff + bare chest and tell us what you think! ;)

or you can skip this part and buy a fungi because it's just a 1000 times better.
enjoy!

Heh, my brother is actually the mnk so I’d be handing it off to him to use till 50+, he’s brand new to EQ so he’s going to get a kick out of it.

Make sure he doesn't think it's a cloth shirt and vendor it. That's an awfully generous gift to give your brother if you're just starting out. It's also an incredibly valuable tool to your shaman as it helps keep the mana flowing with canni. You'll want to use it too until you get Torpor if he's offline.

Plan is to only play our shammy/mnk combo together.. so I’ll benifit just as much with him wearing .
