Cynical-Sama

did but I still have around 30 left over, Where to with them? Nature focus? So I can increase the level of runes I can eat for GGT, AB, AM etc? Also you guys think a +22 All Skills Chest and +19 Set of greaves are alright for part of my shopping suit at level 155? I'm already starting to build it lol I'll remake it later once I Reach 200 probably with the best stuff I can find then. I'm hoping to get around at least +18 on every piece of my bargaining suit. except the one socket ones, I'll probably have to settle for around +10's I also need to get ahold of an officers saber I can socket lol

My question is more or less this, You can reference my current skill point allocation and stat points etc. On a previous post of mine on this thread its been quoted multiple times in the last two pages. I have 107 Skill Points and I need to know where you think they would be best allocated at I'm currently level 154 I believe. I'm having no problems at all killing, I'm having a little trouble staying alive but thats only because I've only eaten 2 GGT runes and 2 AB runes So thats easily fixed. and this will be my only bargaining Character So I'm wondering if I should go ahead and dump half or all of them in barg or use them to better improve my character first and wait for later levels to improve bargaining (around 170) Also on my previous post is my current list of modded skills.

I think you've asked a loaded question! The best jewellery will be level 200... so needless to say, keep going on VD until 200.... HOWEVER, you could pinch yourself into the situation where you can't find allskills because your bargaining ratio is not good enough. If you can't find them, then you can't increase your bargaining to find the "better" stats on the equipment in the merchants. I suggest you get a "bargaining suit" together now. Look for allskills/generalskills/Bargaining with at least 1 slot. It may be a long, slow process of building up... but you could be low on cash to do that... I found the VD playstyle for fast levelling isn't the best thing for a "first" character. You can get yourself into a "Catch-22" situation, esp. with a bargainer. I guess if you got lotsa cash avail inthe chest, go ahead and get a suit together and then run her up to 200. I see...well....I'm kind of in a catch-22 already, I only have like 3 million or so gold at the moment and because of having no other characters to really farm gold with I can't much afford a bargaining suit at the moment. I guess what I'll do is start farming the white griffin for set pieces and selling the junk I get from doing so to the vendors to make gold in the mean time. It's kind of of a win-win situation if you disregard experience gain / HR. I assumed a bargaining suit would be for once you already reach a really high level like 170+ and you'd go for open socket gear (max possible) and just socket all your shopped +all skills etc rings into those sockets to achieve better bargaining level. I can probably get someone to give me gold if thats all I need though, So I'll likely not run into that problem.

Karrupted just posted on this thread yesterday, so I am guessing he is available for questions. So fire away! Okay, I'm now level 152 and I've saved up almost 100 spare skill points where should I put them at this point? Here are my basics: Voodoo Lore 75 Nature Weaver Lore 125 Enhanced Perception 5 Bargaining 75 Concentration 1 Nature Weaver Focus 75 Combat Disc 75 Voodoo Focus 77 (Over pointed by two) Ancient Magic 75 Shield Lore 1 What should I do with them? (I know should of taken armor lore but I followed guide on page 1) Here are my currently modded things all modded just like they should be according to the front page. Twisted VD Black Morbid Are all fully modded, totem has its bronze mod. Every aspect in nature weaver is fully modded. Every single point of my Attrib are in Intelligence So what do you guys think is the next step? By the way this is going to be my only high level bargainer for a while..so its very important that in the end it gets to around 2.5x my character level, and I'm aiming for 200. Granted I can get a lot of that from relics and + All Skills bargaining gear. So should I put anymore in it or just leave it at the base 75? Or wait till I'm even higher level and start putting my points in it then. whats your bargaining at now? if you havent seen this thread: http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=15229 you might want to check it out if you plan on using that char as a bargainer...it appears that the quality of items may drop off at some point... That is very helpful information thanks =) Now the next thing I need to know is....When is it possible (at what level) to shop the best amulets and rings for socketing into low level items. E.G. I'm sure by now everyone has seen the massively duped level 20 102 all skills etc officers sabers...Do I need to be a specific level before I can shop those amulets? or can I be lower like say 150 where tier 11 can still be reached in quality. /E: My level in bargaining isn't much over 75 now because my file got corrupted and I had to make this character in order to level up quickly as possible to get back to the high levels I was at before. I don't have any items to boost my bargaining level anymore such as 102 skills officer saber....

I'm wondering is Karrupted still around to answer questions? and if not is someone else above level 150 w/ this character around to ask about things? I need a little help deciding on some things...and I'd like the advice of the creator of the build or someone well versed in it.

I may be wrong, I can't check as my file got corrupted. But I thought it was >_> Lol *Parade rained on*

I found one too just the other night before this stupid corruption happened. I got a Quezacotals First Strike =( At 200+

What would be the best thing to slot into a Blowpipe for a build like this? I assume death blow is a great help somewhere on your set, but should it go into pipe itself? +Combat Art's possibly? or?

Alright sounds good, Anyone know of any good ways to get good pipes? Or whatever...I really need a low level epic one and a high level good one and I'm going to Re-Incarnate my old build =) I hated using bows but I could never find good pipes.

really If you have a spare 50% Ring just that would be fine with me probably. If not I found some the other day I think...They might be 37% But not sure on the exact percent finally.

Well, I'm aware I'm just saying it'll be a helpful mod if I were to for reason not want to use a RPH ring (Like now where I have no use for it...Since my regen time is only 0.1 Second anyway)

Until I can find some better legendarys, I'm probably going to run some Dual Boneslicers w/ Death Blow rings =) So If you recall the mods on those its chance to halve regeneration time +28% each...I don't know if they stack with penalties or not but even if they don't that'll sure help =) Darnit, it keeps changing when I Say deathblow to demonic blow lol

I have only one more question I think, But for the life of me now that Its come time to actually post it I can't remember >_<;; Oh wait I GOT IT! Battle Stance Vs Pelting Strikes What should the eaten run ratio be? Or should there even be a ratio? Should it just possibly only be eating Stance runes because pelting isn't worth eating runes in? Because obviously if I eat too many stance runes to get my regen time up to the limit then I have no room to eat pelting strikes runes as it will raise my regen above 2.5 So how should I fix my ratio of Battle Stance Vs Pelting runes eaten...and one more thing, Do you guys still count like runes that give +6 to a skill still just one rune eaten? or would you consider it as the equivalent of 6 +1 runes when doing calculations?

add me ill smith for ya Souljah_k ** edit** if your a ps3 player Unfortunately I'm on 360 but I found someone who may be able to do it tomorrow =) I'll update tomorrow if it falls through letting people know I'm still looking. I have seen a few on my 168 HE shopper, and also I had 2 x 50.9% given to me which give a total of about 70%. I could have a look for you in a bit and tell you what I can find and use my second profiles free month of live to trade you Would be awesome. I'd have no problem finding a black smith who could do it, its just finding the rings thats the problem. And I have a code I never used (1 month) if it isn't expired I'll give you that as well to make up for the 1 month I'm making you use...I just can't promise you that it works because I think it might of expired. wow......guess who forgot about this thread. Uhmm, give me a while to look through the shops. Could take a little while though. Also don't worry about the months worth of live, it's free anyway Nah it was given to me anyway if it works im not loosing anything, and I've already got 1 year + already till mine expires. Just PM me if you find anything. or add me / msg me on 360

Lets hope =) Maybe I can hand them my slicers and they can socket some death blow into them. I'd love to get like 50% true total but I don't exactly expect that.

I saw a nearly 2% RPH ring earlier. Think there is anyone here who could shop me and smith me a Death Blow % Ring in each of my slicers? It'd be really helpful =]

I kept shopping but Have never seen a single one -_- If there isn't what should I put in my level 16X boneslicers I'm more interested in damage than defense as my defense is already plenty good enough.

What is the justifiable reason for maxing Sword weapons instead of leaving it level 1? Just wondering, and what two skills would you decide to go past mastery for? I mean what two would you attempt to keep at character level?

Seems my suggestion was a rousing success then? I have a build like this is why I suggested it. Except using bows which has major drawbacks and I didn't have that great a gear and can still compete in platinum =) Thats why I thought it'd end up really well. Only thing is I don't like using Voodoo arts or anything because I wanted to run it as a fully capricious hunter build as far as Combat Art's go you know aside from Golden Glade. Anyone on console version have a good blow pipe I could maybe get? or possibly trade for some how if I have something you'd like. I'd probably build this if I could.

What would you guys do if you had already got mastery in every single skill but sword lore (still level 1) As anti-trust never made any point to say if points should be put into Sword Lore or not, or if it just needed 1 in order to unlock bonuses on weapons? If not what skill would you guys take past 80? Dual Wielding / Tactics and Bargaining? Ofc I realize only two can be kept at character level and all else 75...Since I have a few 80's and a 76 one can't even be kept at char level. So which 2 should it be? Will taking bargaining any farther really increase its return enough to be worth it? If not I'd probably be better off just taking my two damage skills as high as they'll go.

Okay, So I was just thinking...there is something I haven't seen on Dark Matters I'd really love to see. A Blowpipe using (with the ability to use a bow if a good pipe can't be obtained) "Glass Cannon" Sort of Dryad guide? Would any of you be capable of suggesting to me a build like that? Because I'd really love to be able to use a blowpipe glass cannon-esk Dryad that can kill stuff even quickly in niob before it reaches the character or at least before it can get in many hits. I have this sort of build KIND-OF already. I have a level 55 in Platinum (I was in platinum before my gear switch) With even very mediocre gear I was able to beat all of gold relatively easily aside from the final bosses which took some running away from and shooting while running and even using very mediocre gear now I can still kill most stuff in platinum in the jungle area in just two to three uses of ravaged impact and a bow. I was just wondering why nobody had ever made a build like this before? Personally I'd love to do it but without any way of quick leveling it to above level 100 I can't really do the needed testing to create what I'm looking for (and of course finding someone who could make a Niob game for me to test on Mobs / Bosses in that difficulty. (Ironically this is where having a Raging Ire would come in handy and be beneficial for all players on all consoles etc) And if it would help at all If someone is willing to try and create a build like this I'll happily give you any information you want on my current Bow-Built dryad of this type that works fine in platinum. to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. =) If this isn't in the appropriate section and you have to move it I am sorry and apologize in advance. Cynical

Here is something else I'd like to discuss. 10 levels away from each other cap in order to play together. How do you all feel about it? Okay I know it was put in place to stop power leveling more or less but obviously that has failed in more than one way. Should they just take it out? or at least increase the level range of people being able to play with each other to +- 20? I have a friend I've known for a long time who plays like me but were probably around 26 levels apart and its really hard to try and catch up to him for me so we like never get to play together how do you guys feel about this? Oh and is it also restricted like this on PC version?
