While the graphic is excellent, MotQ is now inferior to Centi Warspear, the Akheva drop 2HP also useable at 1st level. It is 20 Dam/30 Delay, +5 Str, +5 Sta
IMO the only reason to use Messenger is to give a nod to the old days. Which is sometimes reason enough, especially at low level.
If you clear Centi Dators and other stuff around the halls, you'll get a Centi Shortsword, Warspear and Warhammer in 60-120 kills. Any 70+ can just smash everything, just avoid the Mindworms as they aggro, swarm and interrupt ALOT.
