Entry level warrior weapons

[Aradas]

My first warrior and I am curious about weapons.I am up to level 22 so far.Not rich by any stretch of the imagination so primarily looking to buy entry level weapons and save the "great" until later when I may be able to afford them.Any hints,tips,or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

What is your budget?

Jarsath Trident is a great cheap weapon

Do you have 300-400pp?

I'd recommend just going with a 2 hander. It's going to be way more dps than mediocre 1 handers until level 40. At 40, you can goto proc weapons for sure. It will also be more agro via dps than agro you could get from mediocre proccing weapons.

Also, you can sort through weapon here by ratio, etc (if you don't know).

Also, here you can calculate a weapon set's comparative DPS. It says it's for monks, but works for any class (or at least very close).

If even thats too much, a shimmering partisan is like 100p? Sword of skyfire is like dirt cheap too

[Tuurin]

https://wiki.project1999.com/Jarsath_Trident pretty good low-budget warrior weap as well.

I follow Rallos Zek if that matters.

This is by far the MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR when creating a warrior! Only defense for not rolling a warrior under Rallos Zek is pure noob ignorance!

No matter what, you cannot fail OP. You are a vessel of the most powerful deity on Everquest.

Gods are a scam. Your charlatan priests made them up for money

Innoruk is just a skinny troll. I've killed him. He's not a god. Cazic too. Just a loot pinata.

Your gods are a joke

/thread.

also, at level 22 you have 300-400pp. if you don't you can farm it.
i have one rotting on my gnome warrior at the moment but... i'm not willing to sell just yet :(

[Jimjam]

1 handed weapons with a ratio just short of 1:2 are sufficient to get you throw the first 40 levels.

[Borak]

It's funny, I never see the old Polished Granite Tomahawk (http://wiki.project1999.com/Polished_Granite_Tomahawk) mentioned as a low level warrior weapon. I get it, the damage ratio sucks. That being said, it starts to proc at level 10 and the proc is a RUNE, and causes some serious mob hate as a result. I put one on my bard at level 4, forgot about it, and when I hit level 10, I was wondering WTF was going on, the mobs were all over me. I bagged it and sold it later. This is an underrated low level aggro weapon if you don't have a few hundred pp for the other stuff.

[Jimjam]

PGT is a very good call, because at the early levels of dual wield the weapon will basically never swing, but it will still proc at the usual rate per minute.

Having a useful proc in the offhand until 20ish is a great strategy to raise skill and get use out of the off hand!

Good call Borak!

Just to clarify... it will only proc on an offhand swing, correct?
It will not proc without dual wield making a swing.

[Nagoya]

Correct, and the off-hand ppm is half of the primary.
That being said, number of swing per minute does not affect the proc per minute, so why not.

[Jimjam]

It will not proc without dual wield making a swing.

It can proc when the off hand timer is elapsed, even if duel wield fails to produce a swing.

Crazy, I know.

[Lemonhead]

Ya, you can go a long time with an offhand proc weapon benefiting you a lot, depending on the weapon. I did dual velium crystal staffs on a monk, then to offhand vel crystal staff with sos main and IFC never really beat the combo dps-wise. I'm sure it won solo-wise for a while but idk for sure.

But the problem is, the same reason a proc weapon wins in the offhand, is the same reason a 2 hander wins dps so bad early on. But the Tomahawk of classicness is a great idea for skillups 1hs, then some 1hb for a mainhand would be cool. Isn't there like a 16/30 War Only 1HB or something.

It's not that hard to skill up weapons on light blues later. I wouldn't worry horribly about that. You can do light blues exp, bandaging, and weapon skills whenever.

[Jimjam]

Fist of Zek. It also has some groovy stats.

Decent dps primary in the 20s before damage bonus kicks in (and while there is still a partial cap on damage).

Worth keeping for later levels to be used as an off hand non-aggro dps weapon too?

[Aradas]

Been popping in to EC occasionally but every staff of battle seller wants like 600 for it which is beyond me.But thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Like this guy said with the PGT, there's another old world weapon called Axe of the Slayers. The ratio is nothing near the Staff of Battle, but it's like the PGTs older brother. Blocks 80 damage per proc. Procs at 30 and allowed me to solo camps in SolA and fight a couple mammoths at a time in EF.

Plus it's a sweet lookin golden axe.

[Jimjam]

Axe of the Slayers is the best fun at level 30!

Nothing sexier than a warrior in full crafted and a giant golden axe soloing pre-kunark content ;D.

I got a Staff of Battle so now to begin the search for aggro weapons.

I kind of wrote a whole guide to the process of gearing a warrior as your first character recently.

Staff of Battle forever baby!

[skarlorn]

staff of battle is so ridiculously good.

use it until you can get proc weapons like frostbringer in your 50s.If you really need to tank in a group, make a caster root mobs and stand closer than anyone else for proximity aggro.
