Hardwood katana

From: Kainen Guest Posted: 2005-04-28 07:45:02	Reply Quote
Your information on the main page is wrong. I got the hardwood katana and I never touched the tarutaru kind. It seems you have to deal the deathblow to one of them to recieve it.

I have to agree, I think it is deathblow only. I just hit each of the four kinds 14-17 times, and all i got was 4 stacks of 12 pieces of candy.

I hit each of them 20+ times (one over 25 times with hundred fists) and I only got 12 pieces of each mochi. You do NOT get the Hardwood Katana from hitting each more than 12 times.

I walked into Saruta, went to where I know the taru armor would stop, waited, hit it with hundred fists and killed it. Went back to Windurst, got my hardwood katana. I did not attack any other armors with this use of the sword.

After getting the katana, I went back out and attacked several, getting the deathblow on a hume. I returned to receive only rice cakes. Unless there's a prize for getting the death blow on all four, this seems to be the limit. Which is still more Stuff than we got from the Doll Festival, so why complain?

it seems the hardwood katana has a hidden affect. if you get slept regen kicks in.

I can confirm without a doubt it's deathblow. I camped the Tarutaru for an hour soloing him down to zero, finally killing him. I did not hit any other armors. When I traded the sword back I got the HQ.

ok so... once you get the Hardwood Great Katana... what do you do with it ? Is there any use to it beside being a (insert your non-Samurai job) with a Great Katana ?

Unless this sleep regen thing pans out, it's just a show piece. Easy enough to test... Put on some HP+ gear and pop a sleeping potion.

Oh, and there's another error with it; the Dmg on the Hardwood Katana is 5 instead of 1, which it is listed as.

Thanks for the info. As far as the katanas go, I don't believe there is any "use" for them apart from the special event, they're just an event reward. It looks like the damage is different on the katanas: Wooden Katana has 1 damage; Hardwood Katana has 5 damage.

The regen while sleeping seems credible as I have seen many posts confirming it. Also I read that the additional effect is actually Gravity.

I would just like to post somethin on here I found intertesing. I had just gotten the Great Katana and was passing through South gustaberg when I saw Leapiung Lizzy. I'm like Whoa! I ran to it on chocobo and claimed it. I was ninja/rng at the time (I was going to camp it anyways) When i got there, I decided to attack it with this Katana. I had my skill at like 55 and I was hitting for decent damage. I killed it (using Tachi: Enpi) and got the drop. I just wanted to know if someone else would try killing a NM a few times with this thing and see if it has Treasure Hunter Hidden Effect or something. I think this would be a pretty sweet a$$ sword if it did. Can someone just help me out and say if they have done this or not. Make sure if you try it, you kill the NM a few times, because obviously you wouldn't get the drop 50% of the time on some even with Treasure Hunter II. Thx!
