will hit 75 tomorrow. I have seen gold cudgel 4 times but haven't gotten it. Just rng. My friend who is the top player has gotten it 6 times from the cards at the end.

I would wait for the 70 instance.
Also make sure to make note on its shuffle pattern.

Leveling to 75 is very long and yet you only seen it 4 times? Well that's pretty rare

His level is irrelevant concerning the golden cudgel from the team instance. You can drop it from the lvl70 team instance, and its not that hard. Usually it showed me when i was with friends, i dropped the first maybe after 2 week or so, and so far got 3. I dont think there is a point to rush and get an other, what maybe gives you bad stats and you have to replace in the end.

I have. I chose the middle twice because purple tends to settle there. It ended up the very right at the end. I picked the very right it ended up in the middle. Finally I chose the middle again and it was at the 4th position. I play at s24 and our server is almost 2 months old. I level relatively fast cause I do all the events (9tails included).

@Ram, 500 coupons takes a long time to save up for as a free to play. The pain cane is an ok buy because the base stats are higher then the one you can get from instance. 40/40 ninjutsu vs 35/35 from instance. Too bad the bonus stats are random. Anyways when you max out the cane at 18 there should be a slight difference. The level 4 attack natagama is worth 135 coupons. Summoning scroll is worth 63 scrolls. So the cane seems to be valued at 303 coupons.

If you level slowly, keep in mind that Im rank 4 for level rank cause I adjust/switch my team just for 9tails. If your a slow leveler, don't buy it. Even if you hit 80 and still don't get it, you c*ways go back to 70 and try farming for it. Overall just depends on how impatient you are. I'm just sick of being rank 4 for level but rank 10 in power.

I'm level 75 right now and I saw the golden cudgel about 6-8 times. Gotten only three of them though. If you're an f2p player, I highly recommend you to get the golden cudgel instead.

A reply with recommendation, thank you! You're awesome! :)

I'm gonna save my coupons then, thanks! It's just that f2p can't level fast unlike ppl who has medal so.. i'll just wait for golden cudgel since i'm somewhat close

Not worth, get the 100 coupon one.

Which difficulty is it ? Easy Normal or Hard to drop the Staff ?
