Overview
The Arcana Mace is an A-grade magic weapon aimed at healers and buffers. Its Acumen Special Ability (SA) boosts Casting Speed, so your buffs and heals land faster. It's a top pick for the Bishop, Prophet and Elven Elder (EE).
How to Get
The Arcana Mace is crafted by a Warsmith from parts (Arcana Mace Head) that drop from level 65+ monsters in Devil's Isle and the Wall of Argos. The Recipe: Arcana Mace (60%) can be bought from other players or farmed in the Catacombs. Because demand is limited to support classes, the mace usually costs less than a comparable DD weapon.
Comparison with Alternatives
| Weapon | M.Atk | Shield | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arcana Mace | Lower | Yes | Bishop, Prophet, EE (healers / buffers) |
| Staff of Evil Spirits | Higher | No | Sorcerer, Spellhowler (nukers) |
Compared with the Staff of Evil Spirits, the Arcana Mace has lower M.Atk but lets you equip a shield — critical for healers in PvP and on castle sieges. For a Bishop or Prophet, an Arcana Mace with SA Acumen is the best choice. Nukers like the Sorcerer or Spellhowler should prefer the Staff of Evil Spirits for its maximum M.Atk.
