Beast claws: Difference between revisions

The '''Beast claws''' are a recurring set of [[Claw Weapon Family|claw]] in the {{DQSeries}}. They are a powerful, high-level weapon designed for martial artists and other brawlers. Originally plain can-openers with no special traits, they now inflict more damage to monsters in the [[Beast family]] as of the ninth game.

==={{DQ3}} remakes===

The Beast claws have an {{Attack}} bonus of +95 and can only be equipped by [[Martial Artist]]s and [[Thief|Thieves]]. They are the strongest set of claws in the game and only appear in remake versions. The beast claws can be found in [[Theddon]] underneath the cross, but only after receiving the first riddle from the riddle master in [[Cloudsgate Citadel (bonus dungeon)|Cloudsgate Citadel]]. They can be sold for 412 gold, but it is not recommended to do so as there is only one set in the game. Martial artists can equip the more powerful [[Destructiball]], but doing so will remove their ability to deal [[Critical Hit|critical hit]]s, and by the time the player obtains the claws their rate will easily be over {{fraction|1|6}}th. Players who prefer to gamble on decisive blows arm their artists with the claws instead, and leave the wrecking ball to the other vocations.

The Beast claws have an {{Attack}} bonus of +95, a {{Style}} bonus of +25, and can only be equipped by [[Ruff]]. The claws have a {{fraction|1|128}} chance of being dropped by [[Freezing wingwyrm]]s, [[Gnuriel]]s, and [[Gnumesis]]es. They can be sold for 275 gold.

* In the Nintendo 3DS version, the claws can also be dropped by [[Tearwolf|Tearwolves]] at the same rate. They can also be received rarely as a clear reward by creating a custom [[Traveller's Tablet]] with a [[Gnucifer]], Gnumesis, [[Cerberex]], or [[Rotwyrm]] as a boss.

The Beast claw has an {{Attack}} bonus of +81, inflicts 1.3 times damage to monsters of the Beast family, and can only be equipped by [[Morrie]]. It is dropped by [[Sir Leopold]] and only appears in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version. The claw can be upgraded into the beast talon by combining it with an [[ethereal stone]] in the [[Alchemy Pot]].

The Beast claws have an {{Attack}} bonus of +36, a {{Style}} bonus of +10, increases the wearer's Weight by 11, and inflict an additional 7% damage to monsters of the [[Beast]] and [[Bird]] families. They have an equipment level of 50 and can be equipped by [[Martial Artist]]s, [[Thief|Thieves]], and [[Monster Master]]s, as well as [[Mjoll]] in the {{Offline}} version of the game.
