Thorny dragon quil damage?

[MapleLiberty]

Wiki says Thorny dragon's base quil damage is 10 but does the 10 mean damage of one quil or damage of total quil shot at a time? And also does the 10 mean torpor damage or just normal damage?

seems to be 10 damage across all the quils and thats normal damage not torpor damage

10 normal damage, and its spread out over the spines. Each spine does around 1 damage a shot. Its... kinda crap honestly for how much stamina it costs.

As far as torpor damage... I'm not sure, but I took a thorny dragon out to test it on a trike that was stuck on a tree near my base on the Center, trike was only level 34, and it took emptying the thorny dragons stamina bar four times to knock it out. Very ineffective I think on that front.

Any chance you can remember how much melee damage your pin cushion had?

I don't remember how much she had at the time, I've leveled her since then. I can however re-run the test with her current stats.

Lets see... Here she is. Toothless Fury... Melee damage of 337.5% and has a max stamina of 1470, now lets go find a target... Level 18 male Trike should do.

Total stamina bars to knock out the trike: 3 full stamina bars, and he took... 66.7 damage total (533.3/600 health at knock out) to fill up 505 torpor. thats the first test. Secpmd test. the results where near identical, though only took 2 full stamina bars and half of a third. I may have hit with more of the spines the second test run through.

Still the cost to just knock out a low end trike... over 2900 stamina... yeah its not very efficient attack.

sounds like majority of the torpor is from a overtime effect if i remember right for scorpions, centipedes and frogs its over 10 seconds would explain why it takes so long to knock it out on the plus side the damage to torpor ratio is pretty good so could work well with taming pens to save on arrows/darts

Despite being innefficient time-wise this attack seems to deal pretty good torpor in proportionate to the health damage dealt.

Just wish the tail spine damage scaled with melee. There seems to be no difference between a thorny with high melee and low...
