When you grab the frying pan before having all the clues, it does 0 damage. But lets say I got the pan then I got all the clues later. Will that automaticly change it to do its normal amount of damage?
Nah probably won't, as there probably are two versions and the game checks the number of clues you got when getting it, and giving you the version with equals in power of how many clues you currently got.
