Bump it to level 60-70 and up the speed to Normal (6)/Fast (5) and adjust the attack accordingly to 180-200 The super slow attack speed makes this weapon super grueling to use and it has a bad scaling with attack potions Also it would be nice if Sake Bottle was more accessible (maybe from NLC gacha like Maroon Mop) and changed to a polearm type weapon as 2h BWs are slower than polearms
I support a change in attack speed for permabeginner weapons. Without mastery, their damage range is very wide, so it's likely to fall on the low end of damage several times in a row. This means a mob that you can normally 1-shot most of the time can take 3 or 4 hits sometimes. This is just the cost of doing business when you have no mastery, but when your weapon is this slow, those extra hits add up to a lot of time lost. A decently scrolled Liu Bei dagger may actually outperform the slow permabeginner weapons. Changing the weapon type seems like overkill, but changing the attack speed is definitely a reasonable change. Could also potentially look into tweaking the Crimson Arcglaive since this weapon is often used by permabeginners and odd-jobbers and not often used in the normal game meta.
