Notes

  • This weapon looks to be an earlier version of the Shattered Flail
  • This weapon also looks to be unfinished.
    • The in-game quote is more like a description which is higly unusual.
    • The quote says it may deal Psychic damage or Paralyse. This is false it can only apply madness.
    • The Psychic damage is also not shown in the tooltip outside of the quote.
  • The calculation show for the saving throw shown in the tooltip may be wrong, but will always result in 13.
    • It may for example say 8 + 3 + 3 = 13 and state modifiers for other abilities than wisdom.
