I made a separate account for pure f2p. But I recently linked it to another account for Chromie. Its at 3 days 22 hours.
So I guess the damage output for the staff outweighs the strength loss? I suppose enchanting it with crusader also helps. I tried to get it with a warrior I already started and it didnt drop. /cry
