I dont know if you know is or not and I didnt see anyone post it either, but the lvls of the AF2 you had put on there are wrong, I dont know if you put them all at 74 to say use them then or what but also the link was wrong about there lvl and the names are wrong. Here are the correct names and lvls you can get them at:

Abyss Sollerets 71
Abyss Gauntlets 72
Abyss Burgeonet 75
Abyss Flanchard 73
Abyss Cuirass 74

One thing I also didnt see in there on the neck pieces that should be is Mermans Gorget 56 it gives RA +5 Acc +5 Def 7. Dont hate on me cause of me posting this i'm just saying that its something I think is a mistake and since no one said something I decided to say something.

[sovereignthe1st]

o ya and u should post all RSE gear because it is the best gear for a drk till 45(not counting the gloves) if they plan to get luisant gear or if not they can mix it up with bringadine and ryl squire mufflers p.s just my opinion so please don't get mad because it is something most drks use at that lvl on my server.

[shakujou]

id like to recomend the Voyager's Sallet, lvl 41, +3 str, +4 dex, and technically its free. Its a drop on one of the first islands in Riverne Site #A01. It's Rare/Ex, thats why i say its technically free. It drops off of a fly, and you might wanna read some information up on alla or somewhere else before you tackle it with a few people. it also drops jaeger rings (which have already been mentioned a few times) which is the next best thing from a sniper ring.

This thread might prove to be interesting.

Sadly, I'm on dialup.

And sovereignthe1st's signature is as big as fnuckin' hell and is taking a millenium to load.

For the love of baby Jesus, PLEASE change it.

disregarding the nutters who can afford the time/money/effort to get relic weapons upgraded, which is the best Greatsword and Scythe, IN YOUR OPINION AND WHY..

I'm happy dicking around with my Balmung right now...
but scythe is getting trickey....

I'm using a Martial Scythe to keep up with WS and increase the power of the SC, but ppl are all "get a new scythe fraggert!"

so I did..now I have a Martial, Death, and a Tredicem scythe..

Martial: dmg- 92, delay-528 [Tp bonus]
Tredicem: dmg- 95 delay-528 [gives a critical hit more often apparently]
Death: dmg-97, delay-528 [HP drain]


now..I still use the martial in exp because I blinking love it's TP bonus. Tredicem could be helpful on enemies which I can have problems hitting/doing dmg to...but for that I have the bastok scythe with +7 acc... the death is probably good for soloing, but I tried it for that and if I need the amount of HP that piece of junk gets me back, I aint soloing right..

it's a bit annoying because at this rate I'm gonna be stuck with 4 scythes and 2 greatswords...

any thoughts?

[Baleoce]

yeah just the one...

whats this n00b DRK fag goin on about?!

[edit]

*wakes up*

err, my alter ego Sergeant Spack took over again didn't he?...

Happens when I drink too much Green Tea.

[Xenosan]

I apologize if this has already been mentioned, but dial up is a bitch.

Lvl 40 Elv Drk. Should I go with Royal Squire Chainmail (+1 dex) or RSE (+1 dex +1 int). I've been wearing the rse body since lvl 33, should I switch now or keep using this?

[&#12522&#12456&#12531]

Chainmail.

Looks better, 1 INT is nothing.

For the scythes. I think it all depends on what weapon skill you're using. Since guillotine isn't TP-based, you'd want to go with the higher damage scythe. I.E., Death scythe. But if you're using a WS that is based on having damage that becomes more significant the more TP you have, you'd want to use Martial sctyhe(like Cross Reaper/Spiral Hell). As for Great swords: Go Balmung until you get Balin's at 73. Spinning Slash and Ground Strike are both modified by str and int. So Balin's becomes the better GSD, that and having higher base DMG to boot. ^^

To Birdman: Great DRK equipment guide! Reminds me of leveling DRK back in the day. Though I must meation that maybe you should add Dusk Trousers @ 72. I use Trousers instead of Thick breeches for the att+14 and just make a mental note to switch out leg equipment. They're very good for regular melee hits and WS all around. Switching back to Dusk isn't a big deal since I have /equip O-hat/dusk/body(coming back from wearing a Vamp Cloak) in my /target macro.

[mrkrabs]

Falx+1 could be an option...and there was something else i wanted to put but i forgot >_<

[Xenosan]

I'm still under the impression this is the thread to go to for questions about equipment, so here goes.

How important is Valk masK? I'm 8 lvls from ryl knight helm, and I'm still in a centurions. Another day or two of farming and I will have the 2mil to get this thing. I've seen a lot of DRGs get this but they don't have Attack Bonus like us drks. Will I see a difference with this item, or will the attack increase not be worth the 2mil?

[Juib]

I found the +7 att to be worth it back when it was only 300k, but these days...not as worth it imo. I'd say that 2 mil would be better spent in other areas

[BloodStainedBride]

First off Birdman good guide...definately helpful. Just got my haubergeon too so I'll be good for a while.

Secondly, one of the posts earlier talked about keeping Vassago Scythe instead of getting Darksteel Scythe at 65 because even though DS has more base damage vassagos still did more??? I'm a Mithra DRK so I'm not really as dependant on the accuracy as other DRKs and was glad to be able to sell vassagos and upgrade a ring or earring or something. Just wanted the advice of other DRKs. Was Darksteel Scythe that much of an upgrade or not? Enough to sell vassago, get DS and get better equip elsewhere?

-BloodStainedBride

[Juib]

Even elvaan will not suffer from losing 5 acc when upgrading to DS. Definitely get darksteel

[Seph32]

Guide looks pretty good
Lvl 65 Dark torque is also nice for dark magic gear which is not listed.

I dont think Birdman still posts/plays the game, its been a while since i last saw him post. as for vassago's Vs Darksteel, Darksteel is better. The post you're talking about might have been before sushi was intoduced.

Valk mask is the best head peice till optical hat. yes you will notice the difference. most drks sell it when they get the AF helm however.

This guide needs to be updated

[Meridon]

Couldn't help but notice... but there is definatly a better headpiece out there between 41-70 when you get O-hat. A lot of people definatly overlook this as a feesable item.

Voyager Sallet

Definatly useable up untill at least O-hat, some people might want to ditch it at 60 for Patroclus's Helm if you get it. But that's much harder to get IMO then the sallet.

Just a thought from a non DRK.

[Tonberry]

attack > STR...... especially at those levels

[Seph32]

I wouldn't give a flying fuck about str while i'm meleeing attack all the way and acc ofcourse.

And add Amir boots they are better then adaman sollerets plus they don't have -eva -10 MND
and amir got 3 more acc.
Amir Boots

there's some other nice amir pieces too but amir boots difenitly replace for a. sollerets no - stats either
