The damage bonus depends on your class and your lvl. If you are a mellee class and are of a higher lvl...the dmg bonus on a weapon will be hgher. Higher your lvl = higher the dmg bonus.
Depending on your class you will not see a damage bonus I believe. My specifics may be wrong, but I believe damage bonus appears to pure melee classes, hybrids, and Bards (the unclass.)
It's also possible the damage bonus doesn't appear until you reach a certain level (20?) and the damage bonus will increase as your level goes up. From what I've seen, the damage bonus is based on the delay of the weapon and the level of the person viewing it. I do not know what effect this bonus has on the actual damage you do, nor have I seen anyone post a message who clearly understands it. Hope this little bit of information can help you. But what do I know, I'm just a dumb Troll.

Class is a possible suspect... I'm using this with a druid (now lvl 31) so maybe that's why theere's no bonus. I'm really just interested in the mana and wisdom anyway. I don't know what level I was when I got it, but I was definitely over 20, probably over 25.
Only melee classes get damagebonuses as far as i can tell. It starts as level 28 with a dmg bounus of 1, and then you gain +1 damage bonus every 3 levels after that. I'm told there is a formula for this, being your level -25 divided by 3 to determine your bonus
Hope that helps

Are you sure of that damage bonus table? Or is it just for 1handed weapons. I have a argent defender 2hs and i use it on my 42 pally and the damage bonus is at 14. If anybody knows how this damage bonus thing works reply away thanks.
From what i have seen, the dmg bonus is +1 for every point of delay above 39 for 2hs weapons, once youre past your dmg bonus level. My ranger started displaying dmg bonuses after lvl 28, and i compared several 2hs and got various dmg bonuses on them, depending on the delay. I could be wrong tho, i dont remember this clearly. :)
Hey, i got this today, saved it from rotting, no one wanted to loot it and everyone left, thought it was crap when no one wanted it till I picked it up. Being a Druid I don't really care about the dmg / delay, i'm just psyched to have 10 extra mana and 2 wisdom :)) Had a lot of today with you GoX I am lovin this guild!!!
Its really not all that bad, I picked it up off a vendor from someone who probably thought it was worthless. I paid only 6pp for it so i can imagine what they sold it for. I just got it so i can have the extra 2 wsdom, it not much but every bit helps, and it not like my cleric is going to go out and whack monsters to death with this.
I got this off the Trog King yesterday has a nice dmg bonus of 9 making it a 14/30 with bonus of 3 wis and 10 mana. Great item and sellable in my Humble opinion but we do know what opinion's are like now don't we.
