- Added the Whirlwind, Heavy Staff, and Spiked Staff to more vendors (more UC vendors and the Black Desert City).
- Adjusted the Heavy Staff. It now does increased damage against robots.
- Adjusted the Spiked Staff. It now does decreased damage against robots.
- Whirlwind now costs one ancient science book to research, as opposed to 6 books. Sorry not sorry.

Whirlwind: Exotic weapon; the brainchild of an unknown (and possibly crazy) smith. The Whirlwind is the most devestating of all polearms with unparalleled cutting damage, but suffers in terms of balance and weight.

Research: Research requirements for "Heavy Staffs" (now under the name "Heavy Polearms") have been adjusted: you now require "Heavy Weapons" as well as the "Polearms" tech in order to unlock. Research for the Whirlwind falls under "Prototype Polearms", which requires "Heavy Polearms", 6 books, and tech level 3 to unlock.

The Whirlwind can also be found in Lost Armouries, or anywhere else weapon artifacts might be found. They are available in all qualities except Cross.

Heavy Staff: Heavier variant of the farmers staff, which has a higher weight (as implied by the name) but also greater blunt damage (25% more than the base staff) and value.

Spiked Staff: Similar to the Heavy Staff, but with the addition of spikes on either shod. The spikes inflict marginal cut damage, but great amounts of bleed.

Research for both of these weapons can be found after researching "Heavy Weapons" under the name "Heavy Staffs". The research topic costs 2 books and takes 4 hours to complete (under standard conditions).

These weapons can additionally be found at any vendor that sells staffs, but the rarity for the Heavy and Spiked variants are uncommon and rare (respectively).
