Ask a Warrior Thread.

I pretty much dumped Pinks on it; came out 147 ATT with 14 ATT and 7 DEX potential (SS is in the Godly Scrolled items thread)

And after getting 3 Pinks from a friend + buying the VIP Spear, I'm somewhat drained in funds :/

Oh, turned out pretty nice, grats.

So i took a look at my 98 crusader's stats and saw my dex. looked a little high. I asked someone how high my dex should be, they said no higher than 50... I looked up some guides and some of them even said to keep it at 4. So.... my question is, my dex is at 118, is that a good means to quit my character?

Well that level of dex will show up on your damage range, yes, but it's not uncommon for people to have that much dex despite how taboo most guides and forums make it out to be. If you have the patience to remake the character, or you aren't that attached to it, then go right ahead and abandon it; however, if you don't care about the random jerks who'll go out of their way to insult your damage (not as common as they used to be, but they exist), then go right ahead and keep playing your crusader.

I had a question about my build as a DrK and was wondering if anyone could offer advice.
So far I've worked out that I'll have 20 Berserk and maxed Beholder, along with 1 Rush, 1 Magnet and 1 in Beholder's Revenge by 130.
My guess is that I'll probably hunt AF Androids for a zerk30 book and proceed to max it.
(I've spent over 15 hours there and still none )
So...what next?
I'm thinking either Hex or Stance, or maybe even max out Beholder's Revenge before those two.
Which will be more useful for me for training in general?
I'm not exactly funded, with my buffed range being only a max of 7.1k with a crappy pair of Skis and roughly 7.8k with a Stormshear.
My question is really just about how useful 35 extra attack will be relative to stance.
I'm assuming I'll be heading to LHC when it's released in gMS, so would extra damage or stance be more useful there?
EDIT: Stance it is!

I'd go with Stance hands down.

I know I am basically repeating Locked but stance is the way to go. you asked "Which will be more useful for me for training in general?", Stance will make you train so much faster!

After I max Hex and Revenge of the Beholder by Level 153....

I have two skills that I want to work on afterwards: Achilles and MW. What should I start on first? I was thinking MW.....but I could sure use the permanent damage reduction (albeit get it up slowly)

If you do bosses above Zakum often, Achilles, since someone else in the squad is bound to have at least MW19. If you solo grind or poke at weaksauce bosses like Zak and below alone, MW.

Good luck finding Achilles books.

-has an Achilles 30 book-

Where do they drop anyways? :f6:

yay for log out gifts! But now im kinda stuck.



Ive got two slots to scroll and i want to get the most out of them. Im posting to make sure i am not forgetting something.
White scroll/pam song to protect from failure
10% scroll
100% gm scroll-cant get them anymore i dont think, but might be a few around.
50% pink scroll- i think there was a 1 handed weapon verison.

anything else? At this point, i cant afford any of those options, but i still want to know whats out there.

oh look, my lunchbox looks almost exactly the same. youve forgotten nothing.

edit @ below: oh god damn it.

alright, thanks.

Every so often, Cassandra has an event to turn 10%s into 15%s. As a last resort (it saves on pam's songs or white scrolls) you could do it in roughly 13.5 15%s (rather than 20 10%s). Note that 15%s are not tradeable, so you need to get them on the same character as the Lunchbox.

Really a question of which is cheaper:
1 100% GM (best)
2 50% for 1h sword + 1 Pam's Song <-- this is most likely IMO
6.6 15% + 5.6 Pam's Song
10 10% + 9 Pam's Song


If you assume 20k Pam's + 15m/1k NX, price points are:
1 100% GM
2 50% 1h sword + 300m
6.6 15% + 1680m
10 10% + 2700m
If you assume 10% swords are essentially worthless, then you have price points where 100/50%s are worth buying:
a) You can only get 10%s. -> 2700m 100%, 1200m 50%
b) You can wait for 15%s. -> 1680m 100%, 690m 50%
ie. Do not buy them for more than these prices.



Personally I was aware of this advantage of 15%s over 10%s while ago, so I converted a large number of 10% 2h BW to 15% 2h BW. I don't remember what season Cassandra offers the deal in, it's come up on the weekly rainbow events afaik. With cheap 2h 50%s it's not worthwhile, but 1h 50%s are not so cheap.

Another idea is to wait for the eventual return of Vegas. 30% rate isn't horrible and if you have the cash to stockpile a few pams songs now or save some ws for later it's doable. Of course the main drawback is actually waiting for them to come back, if ever.

Wait, those do work with ws/ps don't they? I honestly don't remember at this point.

they work with pam's songs, i dont believe they work with ws

First post here! \o/

So I'm still fairly new to MS, have myself a 68 page. Just a couple questions to start out with:

1. My base dex is at 60 right now, and I've heard dex is pretty much useless post-BB unless I plan on getting equips that require higher dex. Is there a way I can reset the SP I put into dex, and then throw it into str?

2. I've been using slash blast since I got it pretty much, but I've been told that I should've got ground smash a long time ago. Which one is better? As well, I've been told that both will become obsolete once I become a white knight, is this true?

Thanks in advance.

1) AP Resets which are something like 4800 NX ea in Cash Shop reset 1 AP each. So that's about 37 AP resets to get your dex to what it will be at 200 after 999 base str.
2) I personally never found Ground Smash that amazing on my DK except for hitting mobs on a somewhat higher platform (top 2 of Jesters namely). But yes, both are replaced easily by Charged Blow. The soonest you can get that is 71, though. Need at least 1 in a charge first.

Quick question because I've thinking of making a Drk, and I've never touched the warrior class other than a friends account.
How much attack, roughly, does the speed of a glaive/sky ski make up for compared to a slow speed spear? Would a perfect VIP spear beat out a perfect 'glaive, or does it's speed make up for the extra ~20 attack of a VIP spear? Not counting potential stats.

General rule of thumb: Normal speed spears/polearms have a 1.1x att "bonus".

For example: looking at a 130 att Sky Ski (or an Arcglaive of the same att), that weapon would deal out damage equivalent to an 143 att slow-speed spear or polearm.
