Lagh Blade

[hellfireuzu]

Just slayed Tara a few times (after the update) and I am wondering. Am I missing something or is Lagh Blade really pathetic? Tara is quite hard to kill in my opinion and the sword is really not even worth it.

Attack +10
Poise Damage +65
Block Absorption +40

It has lower Attack than Vigilant Sword..

Also, why does he/she drop BLACK cloak, BLACK Coat, BLACK gloves and DARK Boots?
This really trigger me for some reason :D

Sorry we will fix the text in the next update. Lagh Blade can increases its attack through killing enemies.

Lagh Blade increase damage while you kill a monster. The more the powerful.

is the increase permanent?

yes, it will be the most powerful weapon, but you have to kill a lot...

Does the damage boost come all at once, or only after you reach a certain threshold? I've killed ~20 monsters with it and its damage hasn't gone up at all. Obviously 20's not that much, but is it something like 100 monster kills per 1 point of attack?

So in NG+ with the Lagh Blade. I killed a regular pitchfork guy on Maye Bridge 6 times before my Attack went up 0.1 - so I thought ok it's gotta be based on how many number of guys you kill, or there's like a value assigned to each type of enemy that fills a hidden bar type deal. So I went to sewer estuary 1 and killed the red rolling ball twice, as well as 14 other enemies before it went up another 0.1, so not entirely sure. But it seems it's going to take a ♥♥♥♥ load of enemies for this to be good.
Edit: Also worth noting is that the damage value on the weapon itself does not increase, but in the stats list on the right.

Oh, ok. I was just looking at the damage value on the weapon itself. I'd expect that I still won't get great returns out of it, but I definitely won't be looking in the wrong place.

As far as balance goes, these things are always tricky. I wish it started with a higher damage, but since its damage scales (even if slowly) it will eventually be strong. I probably won't use it now though, because on NG+ it seems like it will take forever to make it worth using.

I also wish it had the sweet poison blade beam attack that Tara uses.

[hellfireuzu]

So, is there a limit to the Lagh blade or will I keep grinding it forever? :D

It seems to be tied only to the number of kills. Doing a run of the scarlet ocarina to the right (killing basically everithing exept the boss) grants about 0.3~0.4 per run. It also doesn't seem to have a increase in the required kills to trigger the increase in damage at the moment (I just overtook a vanguard blade)
edit: it seems to be a 0.01 increase per kill

Use hand of shadow to grab him, then hand of glory to attempt to steal. If doesn't work, go back and touch the owl statue, try again. I got it fairly quickly doing that.

[edgarska]

I think they boosted the drop rate a little too much with the fix, or I got really lucky.
After using the hand of shadow and hand of glory to steal items until I had stolen 20 items, 7 of those were Lagh Blades. Not complaining since they sell for a lot though.

[ChonkyRat]

took 18 tries stealing and killing (for xp) lol
