I don't know why they couldn't elaborate just a bit on the wiki when it seems someone knows about this problem.

Sadly the only advice I can give is to sell it. There really are better weapons out there anyway. The good thing about the cudgel is the amount of money you get from selling it.

I also have seen this weapon, with no rune slots. I'm not sure if its supposed to or not. Given that it sells for so much, it would seem that it's basically meant as cash for newly created players. It's odd that the cudgel has such a high sell price when the weapon itself isn't anything special.

I think the ruin slots appear by the level of the character, if you use a high level character it will have ruin slots, if you use a new character no slots. I beat the the golems in between 2 playthoughs. My high level guy had the slots, my low level guy did not.

EDIT: The DLC is applied at the time of any CURRENT characters.  (what I think atleast)

As I said earlier, in my FIRM belief, the cudgel is outstanding. Especially for the early game. The +4 strength, alone is enough to enable companions, and/or the warden to equip higher tier weapons and armor, without putting points into strength.

The sad part about that is that it takes 32 strength to equip the cudgel.

But anyway, the problem with the cudgel isn't that it's not a good weapon. It is. But there are just better options. The Veshialle for example is a better weapon, and you can even have two of them at once.

And aside from that, it is ESPECIALLY special, given that it has a chance to "send enemies flying" by description when used!

It doesn't say anything about "flying". It says "Chance to knock target back". Back, not down. If you think about it, this is not actually something you want!

I've never actually used the cudgel. If it does indeed knock targets down, then it's great. If it knocks them back, that's just counterproductive.

True, but that's just the text, not the actual effect. The actual effect description is "chance to knock target back". If it does indeed knock them back without any further effects, you're just removing your target from yourself so you have to chase them down. Particularly unhelpful if it's a mage or an archer.

Perhaps I should go back and actually try the stupid thing. Now I want to know what it actually does. Knocking an opponent DOWN would be immensely useful. Knocking them back is useless. Knocking them back AND down, well, I'm not so sure about that one. I think I'd rather not have it do that as well. Enemies that are vulnerable to such effects are easily controlled anyway without me having to chase all over the place after them.

Anyway that is why I remain skeptical of the usefulness of this effect.

I couldn't help but sell this weapon a.s.a.p. due to it's sell price, but I later noticed after revisiting the merchant that the cudgel all of a sudden had rune slots, when it didn't before I sold it. Perhaps that's the trick or one way to get the rune slots? However, if you want to buy it back, it will be very expensive. I believe Levi Dryden was asking for ~1600 soverigns.

Perhaps you could try wielding it, then ask the Enchanter for aid. I believe this is how Sandal adds slots to weapons in DAO.

I sold it to Levi Dryden outside Warden's Keep as soon as he was available. I was around level 10 I think. It was during a return visit, probably to put something in the chest, when I noticed that the cudgel had rune slots all of a sudden. Yes, I play on xbox 360.

In regards of Levi Dryden - the Wiki says it all there:

Any weapons or armor sold to Levi will reappear in his regular inventory as usual, with one interesting and useful difference. Weapons and armor sold to Levi may reappear in his inventory made of a Tier 5-7 material. They will now have better stats and weapons may have up to 3 slots for runes. For example, I sold Levi the Warden's Longsword that is Alistair's beginning weapon (Iron, 7 dmg, no rune slots) and upon returning to Soldier's Keep at a later point, I found the same weapon in his inventory made of Dragonbone with 3 rune slots, now doing 11.4 dmg.
Note: Although Levi will always change the material of a Tier 1-4 weapon/armor piece sold to him, the level to what type of material happens at random. Also, he will only change the material to one item at a time and he will change the first applicable item listed in his inventory.

Also for the PS3 and 360 there is a similar effect on the party storage chest - Wiki says:

 PS3 360 Some weapons and armor that are left in the chest will be re-scaled (see Materials) to the Warden's current level. This can be used to "upgrade" a favored weapon or armor that was picked up early in the game. This will only occur with items that have multi-tier versions; unique items such as the Juggernaut Armor only have one version. Low-level Wardens should be cautious when placing items in the chest, as it can also downgrade them.
 
My question at this stage would actually be, what effect does the The Reaper's Cudgel trigger at all? Does it stuns the target or knocks them back like a firewall does? Did anyone experience the effect in Origins?
