Cutthroat knuckles

[kalkkar]

can anyone tell me if they are any use? it hardly raises UA and a axe/sword be better but does it boost the UA damage anyway?

It raises punch damage, incase you are a UA fighter, not MC. Or a hybrid build.

any idea how it scales with quality?

If it's still Legacy:

Quality Damage bonus
10 15
40 30
90 45

Bottom line is: doesn't make your hunting any better. One-shotting animals is more important than consistent damage, unless you want to hunt only from horseback, which can be frustrating when you don't have horses nearby.

huh didnt know you could hunt off horseback which is cool tho, but to not flood the forums, can you also tell me if the spear gives sting a boost in damage since thats the only move it can do? or is it better to just run with a sword? (cant really carry a shield because im mining and want the most invetory space i can get)

If it's bats you're hunting, then you're good with ~40 UA and a basic armor, you can shrug their attacks off and easily kill them with punches.

[InfernoI]

Even like 30 UA / 30 Agi, just spam punch and keep up your one necessary defense. As long as they don't get IP, you kill them or make them flee before they can even hit your armor a few times.

FYI, in legacy the damage bonus scaled as 15*sqrt(Q*str)
I expect the scaling is the same even if the 15 is different. They don't affect Kick now.
They are essentially useless in combat now, even at absurdly high strength, you're better off using a sword.
This might change in the future if they implement armour penetration.

I disagree with it being completely useless. It can be made from Cast Iron, and if you decide to go full Unarmed Combat and reserve skill points from Melee Combat for something else, then yes, it might have it's uses. You just are going to cripple yourself hard whenever big hits are required, which swords are specialists at.

At 100 UA, with the same equipment and stats as someone with 100 Melee, you're as able as him to kill anything below a bear. You'll just require chasing way more times than a sword-user.
