Does the fire status from the toothpick do the same damage as the fire status from any other weapon (such as ash of agni, combuster proc[not blasts but status])?
I know the damage done by fire is unique, and doesn't fit in any of the main categories of damages. Is the damage the same for a lower star weapon as it is for a 5*? I know damage bonuses don't increase proc status damage.
Moderate fire is the same strength of fire caused by Magma Driver and Volcanic Pepperbox, and will do the same damage.
Since statuses are only divided in strength of tiers, rather than stratums, the fire from 4* flamberge will be the same as for 5*. 3* flamberge deals T2 damage, however, which won't be as effective in T3.
I keep meaning to make a chart of this. Someone should constantly pester me to do that.
I don't personally understand why the Ash of Agni does different amounts of damage to different monsters in the SAME monster category. Although that explains this complicated table I've been wondering about for a while.

(Second Damage Table).
A test of fire damage on depth 19, shock theme:
* Ash of Agni vs. kat: 31
* Ash of Agni vs. zombie: 60
* Furious Flamberge vs. zombie: 69
The Ash figures agree with that weapon's wiki page. I don't know about lower-star weapons; I don't keep those around for testing. By the way, Furious Flamberge ignites a kat really rarely. I tried tens of times, and couldn't make it happen.
