<div id="ygrps-yiv-1873787934">I&#39;m not entirely sure fists fit the standard weapon damage formulas.  They<br/>
definitely do not for monks, I&#39;ll have to unretire my warrior on Sol Ro and<br/>
check it out.  I was under the impression that fists did go up in dmg value<br/>
for everyone, but slowly.<br/>

Crystalline Blade: DMG: 11.<br/>
<br/>
Level 5 player using crystalline blade  (DMG * 2 + 1)  23 max.<br/>
Level 38 player using crystalline blade (??)           40 max.<br/>
<br/>
Punching, same story.<br/>
<br/>
Level 5, (DMG * 2 + 1) 5 max. (rarely, but it is the max)<br/>
Level 38, (??)         8 max.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
23/40 = 0.575 <br/>
5/8   = 0.625<br/>
<br/>
those numbers are close enough meaning I probably haven&#39;t hit my<br/>
max dmg on my blade yet.  (40 was the most I&#39;ve seen so far).<br/>
<br/>
What I&#39;m getting at is 5 is the most damage you are gonna do til<br/>
level 15-20, when the dmg multipliers change.  But the ratio never<br/>
changes.  I wish I knew the multiplier at my level.  (DMG * 3.66)??<br/>
<br/>
My max dmg on a 6dmg weapon is 22.<br/>
My max dmg on a 11dmg weapon is 40.<br/>
<br/>
Both those lead to a multiplier of 3.66<br/>
<br/>
2 dmg fists * 3.66 = ceil(7.32) = 8.<br/>
<br/>
Lots of math to back me up here, although it may not be &#39;Verant<br/>
math&#39; which is known to exist.<br/>
