Which SK Twink weapon over lvl 20?

[Hrothgaar]

Hi all!

I got told that until lvl 20, the Venomous Axe is the way to go but what about after lvl 20?

Here are the weapons I thought about:

Noctivagant Blade
Winters Fury
Sword of Skyfire
Frostbringer
Ebon Mace

Which one to pick past 20? Did I oversee a good alternative?
And last question: Sword of Skyfire is very cheap compared to the others, would it be worth tobpick one of the expensive ones OR invest for a (low) haste item, like CChitin Gloves.

Do you have friends ? Get that free sword of pain .

Unfortunately not :-(

Noc blade and haste gloves if you can afford them both. Or Ebon mace and gloves which is best.

Ebon mace is a pretty epic dmg /dly ratio so should be pretty high DPS for you after 20 or after 30. I can't remember what the dmg cap is at level 20 vs lvl 30 when it is removed so not sure best recommend.

In all cases you should have crystal chitin gloves or other haste item. Always a haste + whatever weapon vs high end weapon and no haste.

seriously get friends and get a free sword of pain, win win.

Ebon Mace is fine if you are lazy. It's got the same ratio basically (slightly better). I do enjoy the extra stats and the clickie, but it can be a pain (pun intented) to get the Sword of Pain. Unless things have changed, I rarely see people at lower dogs, so gone are the days where you can just camp a toon at the top of the hole and wait for a rot.

I agree, friends are great. But without knowing the guy's play schedule and whatnot, it can be tough to get 5 random people together for a non-popular camp. You need to find the players who still want to farm Lute of the Howler and Blood Runed Girdle.

dont need 5 for lower dogs, a trio would work.

I am not arguing about how many people are needed for lower dogs. The question is whether you can find people to do lower dogs. You need a full group for Lute of the Howler and Blood Runed Girdle farming. It may not be easy to convince people to do effectively a leveling group in lower dogs, sticking to the easy dogs.

There is another weapon comparable to Sword of Pain and, without your own kill squad, it's probably easier to obtain LR for, considering how farmed Chardok has become versus Velk's Lab.

Reaver ? 40/40 is great considering you can find one for 5k in EC

The weapon list in the OP made it seem as though it's a 1h-only question, but good point. Since that weapon types weren't specified, definitely consider going 2h with Reaver.

Yeah this item can be farmed with one level 60 friend. Only caveat is it is pretty rare. I have camped Grave Master quite a bit, and have yet to see even one drop.

[Ripqozko]

C u real soon at lower dogs .

reaver

In all seriousness, just get an Ebon Mace if you are on blue. They only cost like 1k or so now. Sell your Venomous Axe and use that money for the Mace. Way easier than farming Sword of Pain or Engraved Di`Zok Deathbringer, and you aren't really losing out on much.

Stats on Sword of Pain aren't game breaking, and Shrunken Goblin Earring is just fine as a Grim Aura clickie if you have the cash.

The proc on Engraved Di`Zok Deathbringer is great, but limited to undead, and not procable until 50. Before level 50, it is just a worse Ebon Mace.

As mentioned above, if you haven't gotten your 2H situation sorted out, Reaver would be the better option overall. You just need another magic item for things like Ghouls, Mummies, and Willowisps, which could be filled with (you guessed it), an Ebon Mace:) That, or a decent 2H weapon like https://wiki.project1999.com/Oggok_Cleaver or https://wiki.project1999.com/Heavy_Velium_Claidhmore .

The only reason why a lot of people went Sword of Pain on blue was because there was a time where a lot of people were farming Lower Dogs, and the Sword of Pain rotted all the time. That, and Ebon Mace was still like 4k or more in the market. Also, this was before the 2H table upgrade, so 1H weapons were the way to go. It made a lot of financial sense to just camp your alt SK at Lower Dogs and wait for a rot (which wasn't long). You save 4k and basically get the same weapon ratio wise, plus some fun stats and a clickie.

Now Sword of Pain isn't really worth getting (unless you want the fashion), because Lower Dogs just isn't really camped anymore, and Ebon Mace is so damn cheap.
