400k to twink out a warrior!

[remen]

Hi guys, I am looking to switch mains and have made up my mind to twink out a warrior and level him up! After selling off gear from my other toons I'll have about 400k to spend and was looking for some advice mainly on what weapons are best through the various level ranges (i.e. pre dual wield and before / after max hit cap). I was also curious as to people opinions on what slots make the most sense to spend big on to get the most bang for my buck. So far I've got a fungi, CoF, and belt of the great turtle while most of the other slots have 1k-6k items.

FWIW I plan to solo as much as possible until the later stages so I was thinking of splurging for a ring 9 MQ to have the permanent damage shield or eyepatch of plunder loot rights for permanent haste, but the fact that they are no drop gives me pause. Anyways, this is my first time really twinking out a character so all advice and input is greatly appreciated...help me have some fun making this toon a beast!

Gnome wars can buy a 40 percent haste clicky from a tinkerer as part of the cultural armor set if you dont mind going that route

[Scoojitsu]

Don't twink him out too heavily. E.g. no NO DROP stuff, only why you can sell again.
Play him up to lvl 40 or 50. Don't need crazy stuff for that. Potions are good, too.
Then you will have a good idea about the class. If you want to continue with it or not. Talk to and inspect other warriors, especially on raids.
My 2 cents. Good luck!

Yes you have a twink warrior, congratulations.
Scoojitsu gave you the answer you ought to know

[Meguvin]

if he has 400k to spent its because he has some chars already and he knows the game.
Warrior is not very hard to understand. Just press autattack and taunt.

[Jimjam]

buy your friend a mage epic and have the pet PL you 40-60.

[oqrelord]

Fungi/CoF wurmslayer/frostbringer/ staff battle is all you really need to carry you to 50 easily solo without much investment.

Warrior proc weps to consider having by 50 - 2x bloodpoint, Bloodfire, Truncheon of Doom

You can solo beyond 50 with those proc weps, but it gets harder and harder. Also you dont really get disciplines until youre in your late 50s. Which really changes how you play and brings a whole new (fun) dynamic to the class. If you stick it out till then its really rewarding.

Best of luck.

[Qtip]

Get an exquisite bow and a J Boot MQ. Beat mobs up til you go into beserker. Then run around and bow kite until you 1) Run out of arrows 2) Run out of mobs 3) Have to let a mob beat you up so you go back into beserker.

Oh interesting, how hard is it to get this item? I've never heard of it before. And does anyone know how difficult / expensive it is to keep it charged up? looks like the effect doesn't last that long

I think this is really solid advice, thanks for the feedback. I was excited to go all out on my first twink project but I should play the class a bit first before I spend a ton of plat on no drop items that I can never resell. And I can get the effects of those items from potions for the time being.

Yes you have a twink warrior, congratulations.

K thanks for stopping by

Staff of Battle is OP and cheap

Just picked up one of these, thanks for the suggestion!

I know a lot about the class I have leveled up to 60 but that knowledge doesn't translate to the best way to gear a warrior or useful twink weapons / items available to warriors. For example, I had never heard of those arms with clicky haste available to gnome warriors.

Fungi/CoF wurmslayer/frostbringer/ staff battle is all you really need to carry you to 50 easily solo without much investment.

Thanks! Grabbed the frostbringer and wurmslayer today along with the SoB...and as I get near 50 I'll definitely look into grabbing those items. I'm wondering if you have any advice about which levels / situations are better for using the SoB instead of the 1 hand weapons?

[remen]

Also wondering what the experienced warriors out there think of swiftblade of rallos zek or edge of the nightwalker as compared to frostbringer / wurmslayer. Do you find that the performance of those weapons justifies how much more expensive they are? And I am curious to hear feedback from anyone out there who has leveled up using a Doljonijiarnimorinar. Also, I had a few people in game recommend venemous axe of the velium brood as a good weapon to start out with for the level 1 proc and to get a reaver for my 2 handed weapon. Lastly I have heard conflicting things about the regen effect from aura of battle on the belt of the great turtle stacking with fungi regen, anyone have both items who can give a definitive answer to that? Really appreciate all the input from all the experienced warriors out there!

[beargryllz]

swiftblade of rallos zek or edge of the nightwalker as compared to frostbringer / wurmslayer.

Swiftblade/EoN should massively outclass FB/wyrmslayer in dps but FB does have a nice aggro proc

I would use venemous axe and frostbringer for most of a warrior's life

[oqrelord]

I would avoid edge of nightwalker unless you think it looks too cool to pass up. Its overly expensive and a winters fury is a better ratio at 1/4th the price.

Swiftblade is a great weapon but its expensive... it really just depends on what you want to do. I would gain some levels with your current low cost weps and see if you actually like the class as mentioned by others.

At level 20 wurmslayer and swiftblade zek are acually comparable in damage. Its not until late 40's that the swiftblade outshines it due to damage bonus.

Staff of battle is good post 20 situationally for damage shield mobs etc.

Venem axe is good as stated, but im not a fan of it as relying on procs in general are too inconsistent compared to just good wep ratio.

Doljon axe is fun early levels for proc but its not going to be noticeably different kill speed wise later on to what you already have.

Bow kitting with exquisite bow is fun for 10 minutes... then you realize you spent 15k to play a crappy bard.

As a caveat, if you actually want to be a warrior and tank for groups etc then weps will be frostbringer/wrapped entropy spine/infestation. Sacrificing good dps for agro procs.

Hehe people say war's are simple class... but they actually require a lot of game mechanic knowledge to eek out bits of efficiency. A good warrior will have many different types of weapons for different situations.



If i were in your shoes - i would wear fungi/cof/hp rings/ any weps and bumrush to late 50s. Then try to join groups to farm velious quested armor.

Save your money for best in slot items that you will never replace. Or if youre confident in your ec flipping - twink him out all the way at level 1 and sell off the gear hopefully making a few thousand plat.

[oqrelord]

Worn hp regen is capped at 15 on this server.

Youll still get the plus to atk from belt but no the 2hp/tick if you wear fungi same time.

Still best in slot droppable belt by a mile.

Also if you get a clicky breastplate to switch out for heals, youll be super efficient healing with invigor and getting 2hp regen on belt

[Ravager]

I'd spend it all on Dwarven Booze, Gnomish Fireworks and Elven Hookers.

Really appreciate all this input, definitely gone hold off on the higher end and more expensive weapons until I get to the point that I would see a significant difference and know that I'll be playing this character for a while. I'll also grab a WESS for now to use for agro in group situations, thanks for the suggestion.

What makes the turtle belt so much better than something like the blood runed girdle that has more AC, HP, and Str if the regen effect doesn't stack...is the +attack that useful? Even a spider fur belt has more AC / HP in exchange for 5 dex and 10 str, and my understanding is that HP and AC are the 2 most important stats for a warrior. The clicky BP factor is a good point but those aren't useable til level 45 iirc

Lastly, anyone have a good suggestion for the helm slot? I haven't been able to find anything better than a SSB

I'd spend it all on Dwarven Booze, Gnomish Fireworks and Elven Hookers.

Really can't go wrong following this route either! =D

[Lojik]

just 1000 more plat and you could retire him

[Sonderbeast]

Blade of Carnage
Fungi
CoF
Thats like 350k or so. Throw in some dumb STR gear like gauntlets of potence and thick banded belt you're jolly good until 40's. can run around pantless for all the rest of the gear matters until then.

At 40s's get thurg armor MQ's or sell your BoC and get SS armor MQ's. Only better gear than those for war is NToV or WToV no drop stuff.

[remen]

http://wiki.project1999.com/Helmet_of_Rallos_Zek

You got an extra one of these? I'll trade you my SSB for it and even throw in one thousand pieces of gold!

[Legidias]

The gnome haste item is clockwork watchman stuff. The arms are relatively cheap @ 1500p (usually). 10 charges on it, each one lasts about 10 mins. To recharge, use class V mana battery (sold in PoS or IC) and combine in a toolbox.

[Fasttimes]

buy a VP key, weapon loot rights and fungi.

[wagorf]

Leveled a twink few months ago, here is what I recommend for fastest leveling, and stuff I regret. Don't make my mistakes!

(1) A venom axe for the dd proc that works starting level 1, use it until level 20 or so. Yes proc is random but at first 20 levels a 50k 1hander wont be a game changer but the venom proc can give you almost an instant kill.

(2) 2h starting around 20 up until 35 or 36 (staff of battle or better)

(3) After 35 36 you go back to dual wield. Obviously you don't want to use venom. I also do not recommend Edge of Nightwalker other than the look, and no it is not underrated, if anything it is overrated.

(4) Do not spend on no drop thurg armor unless you have too much money and time. Crystal chitin/cobalt is good enough and you won't feel much difference before 55.

(5) Not much choices for helm, either u spend crazy plat on high-end (Rallos Zek helm) or u go cheap. This is the only slot I am okay to buy thurg/SS velious mq early because of the custom look.

(6) Clicky invis, shrink, and sow (they are considerable cheap for your budget, are resell-able, and you will keep them post 55)

I have seen a level 45 super twink war with white dragon helm, velium encrusted gaunts, boots of storm, wavecrasher, swifhtblade of zek, etc.. I thought he would have zero down time or has incredible kill speed. At the end he was only marginally better than other twink wars in the same level range. I believe his gears will only be of full use at 55+.

[Dolalin]

Thurg mq set, seahorse hide belt, hiero cloak, Infestation loot rights, wess, exquisite vellum 2h. Fill the other slots with things that make sense.

Tag along to a wtov/hot raid to fill out upgrades at 60.

Maybe buy some VP loot rights like the man above says.

Wars are easy.

[mefdinkins]

I wrote out this list a long time ago, prices probably a lot different today.

* Neck: Dragon Tooth Choker - 2,000p.
* Head: Helmet of Rallos Zek - (You could also get a a Cowl of Mortality for like 275k? Then maybe swap to Heiro Cloak in cloak slot for 15k?
* Ears1: Living Thunder Earring - 75,000p
* Ears2: Earring of Essence - 3,000p.
* Face: Mask of the Dragon Slayer - 50-100k? or Faceguard of Bentos the Hero (50k?)
* Chest: Fungus Covered Scale Tunic - 50,000p
* Arms: Crystal Chitin Armplates - 3,000p
* Back: Cloak of Flames - 75,000p
* Waist: Belt of the Great Turtle - 100,000p
* Shoulders: Matchless Dragonwing Mantle - 45,000p
* Wrists1: Silver Chitin Wristband - 7,000p
* Wrists2: Silver Chitin Wristband - 7,000p
* Legs: Matchless Dragonleg Breeches - 12,000p
* Hands: Velium Encrusted Gauntlets - 275,00p
* Fingers1: Djarns Amethyst Ring - 6,000p
* Fingers2: Velium Fire Wedding Ring - 500p
* Feet: Boots of the Storm - 250,000p

* Primary: Sceptre of Destruction 2 mil +? (or Blade of Carnage - 200,00)
* Secondary: Sceptre of Destruction - 2 mil+ (or Blade of Carnage - 200,00)
* Range: Eye of Narandi - 35,000p

I would def make a gnome and prioritize - Haste clicky legs? or bp? Then also buy an incarnadine BP (8k) for invis, cobalt bracer (20k?) for shrink, and some decent bags b/c gnomes don't start off with 255 str.

[Scoojitsu]

Shrink a gnome? :confused:

[mefdinkins]

jboots also at level 1. For a simple 5k investment you can remain practically invincible for your first 50 levels with 400k of gear.

With a fungi you could also essentially kite shit, I always wanted a 8th/9th ring on a low level character but too lazy to do it on an alt.

[Troxx]

400k for a warrior?

Lol this is easy.

45k fungi
65k CoF
Jboots 5k
OT hammer 2k
Trunch 7k
2x blood point 4K
2x silver Chitin wrists 10k
Thurgadin x 6 < 50k (or skip bp)
WESS 5k
FB 2k

200k to fill the rest ...

Not hard really ... unless you want to discuss ultra rare items that cost a lot more than they’re worth.
