PSN in mah sig.

I'm on PS3 and a Seraphim, but I'll investigate....

If its a Yellow Light Of Death, then my friend fixed his really easily! Lemme go grab the Youtube link with the guide.... Part 1 Part 2

Its a 3-star ring, if that means anything to you.... Also, what Lucretis' you got? If they're low-level (approx 30-50) then list them up and lets have us a look-see.

Spoiled? No. Black belt karate instructor? Yes. Am I petrified? Good lord yes!

Oh sir, you shall not live that one down.... Welcome!

There's no one set of awesomewingreat armour that has lots of sockets, but there's individual armour pieces across the board that have great sockets. Some are Seraphim, some High Elf, in fact, each race has one or two like this, but no full set per race.

Make me an offer. If its up there, chances are I'm easy on offers.

Gah, just hitting the hay. Its 22.28 here and I start work at 8.00am. Tomorrow sound groovy?

I was thinking Tactics Lore in place of Swords, but I have noticed that when the seraphim uses her axes, her hit ratio seems to drop, yet her swords hit 99% of the time. Whether Sword Weapons increases accuracy with them, I don't know, but if that really is the case, then as the swords are her primary weapon, then it pays to have the accuracy. Its a first build anyways, but it does alright for me.

Thanks to Goofy and Kralw for the trade tonight. You guys are legends, seriously. Thank you both, so much! My PS3 inbox is filling up too much now, so the deals I've just struck are.... Hulk - your Niokastes' Leg Guards for my Daerwain's Chest (75) - DEAL! Also, choose another two items (that aren't already part of someone else's deal - first come, first served) Barkode - your Endijian's Leg Guards (75) and All Skills +5 ring (64) for my Niokastes' Wings (60) and Velarias Garment (65) - DEAL! Also, choose another two items (that aren't already part of someone else's deal - first come, first served) Now that that's sorted, I can empty my inbox! Also, must remember to keep an eye out for Niokastes' Grip and Sleeves (level 30) for Kralw. Thanks again guys! You rock!

I'm sure I have something like that in my trade list (link in my sig), but as far as I know, only the Scribe Bracers are as you described, ie, from a specific quest.

You're on! Select any two other items (armour or weapons, your call) and I'll try and get them to you ASAP. Goofy23 (via PM) - You're on too! I'll take the wings, you choose any three items and I'll get them to you ASAP. Anyone else for any more?

This is my first go at writing out a build, so apologies in advance if things aren't in the order they're supposed to be in.... The January Sales Seraphim You've seen them. Just after New Years when all the stores begin their January Sales, and you see the women outside, lining up, foaming at the mouth and their soulless eyes fixed on the front door of the store. Then comes 9.00am and boom, they're off. When the dust settles, they walk out of the store, a clump of someone else's hair in one hand, and a pair of Jimmy Choo's that cost $15 in the other. They are shopper. They are treasure hunter. They are warrior. Thus comes my first build for Sacred 2, one that I'm currently rocking Ancaria with right now. The January Sales Seraphim. Primarily aimed at beginners, this is also suited to those who wish to carry on from the recommended starting difficulty of Silver and go right through to Niob, getting only the best items that money can (and even cannot) buy! While other builds tend to be geared towards exploiting as many combat arts as possible, this build only uses three - yes, THREE - combat arts, and two of those are buffs! So lets begin.... The first thing you must remember is getting new skills. Actually, you should forget it. Don't think about learning a single new skill until you are at least level 6. To do this, you'll need to hang around outside Sloeford and do a spot of grinding. If you pick up any runes, then save them for now, we'll start using them when we learn some skills. When you get to level 6 you should head to a safe spot and open up your attributes screen. Time to learn us some skills! Level 6 - Skill 1 - Enhanced Perception Lets start the ball rolling with one of the most important aspects of this build. It not only enables us to start finding some great items off the bat when out in the field hacking and slashing everything that moves, its also required to open up our next skill. Immediately drop five skill points into Enhanced Perception to select our second skill... Level 6 - Skill 2 - Bargaining Who needs a Mastercard when you have this skill? The higher a character's bargaining skill, the better items the merchants have. So right away, we have excellent drops out in the field and an excellent selection of goodies when we go to the shops! Bonus! But what good is having superb shopping skills when our chopping skills are lacking? Well, lets move on. Level 6 - Skill 3 - Sword Weapons While it might not be vital to other builds, the bonuses gained from having even one point in this skill are more than helpful with this build. Swords will be the January Sales Seraphim's main method of dispatching her enemies, and with Enhanced Perception and Bargaining to assist, we're going to have some awesome blades to choose from. Learning your combat arts If you managed to grab yourself a bundle of runes, then you can now head off to the Runemaster to get them converted. As mentioned before you will need only these three runes, in order of importance: Pelting Strikes Battle Stance Warding Energy Use only one rune for each combat art and for the forseeable future, keep it that way. Also, do not assign any more skill points until you reach level 8, when it'll be time to learn a new skill. Once you reach level 8, open up your attributes and pump 5 points into Sword Weapons and the remainder into Bargaining , and learn the next skill. Level 8 - Skill 4 - Dual Wield Whats more scary than a Seraphim with a really big sword? Thats right. A Seraphim with TWO really big swords. This skill speaks for itself, and will enable you to become a killing machine, especially when using Pelting Strikes. Once you have learned Dual Wield, you need never bother with the Sword Weapons skill ever again. However, we still have a little way to go before this build truly shines. Level 12 - Skill 5 - Exalted Warrior Focus This will not only allow you to modify your Pelting Strikes attack as well as your Battle Stance buff, but with every point you add to the Focus, the less time it will take Pelting Strikes to recharge! Level 18 - Skill 6 - Armour Lore More benefits and bonuses from armour. Simple, really. Level 25 - Skill 7 - Concentration Now you can activate your Warding Energy as well as your Battle Stance and pretty much become what you would get if you locked The A Team in a shed with a shopping troller and a tank. Level 35 - Skill 8 - Constitution This increases your HP and your regeneration greatly, and if you keep adding the odd point into it you'll soon become the nightmare of January Shoppers across the world. Level 50 and 65 - Skills 9 and 10 - To be honest, with the build standing as she is, I have no need whatsoever for any further skills. The points you get at level up are better put to use topping up Enhanced Perception, Dual Wield, Constitution, and if you want to boost your Pelting Strikes attack then learn a few more runes and then add skill points to keep the recharge time down to a minimun. If you always have your buffs active and your Pelting Strikes recharge time as low as possible, no enemies will get more than a couple of hits in. Of course, thats entirely up to you, but trust me when I say that, with the awesome weapons you will be able to pick up or buy, you're always going to have the upper hand on enemies. *** IMPORTANT RULES OF THE JANUARY SALES SERAPHIM *** There are a few rules that you must follow when going out and about with the January Sales Seraphim: 1. Always - ALWAYS - have Bargaining at the same level as your character. This means adding 1 point to it every time you level up. 2. To start with, any remaining points will need to go into Enhanced Perception, but eventually you can leave that skill for a few levels while you take care of some other skills, such as Dual Wield, Exalted Warrior Focus, and Constitution. 3. Carry 12 relics with you at all times - 6 with Bargaining + on them, and 6 with Enhanced Perception + on them, upgrading them whenever they increase by 1 point. Swap between them when you're out and about and before you speak to a merchant. If you combine this with using + All Skills rings/amulets and having weapons and armour with similar bonuses, you can effectively achieve a Bargaining and/or Enhanced Perception level twice that of your own character. This leads to all sorts of awesome, not to mention lightsabers. And you are dual wielding.... 4. You can modify Pelting Strikes and Battle Stance however you like, but I recommend: Pelting Strikes: Thrust/Focus/Precision This gets you more hits, less recharge and critical hits. Battle Stance: Aggression/Drill/Retalliation This gets you stronger hits, reduces the recharge of all combat arts (including, yes, Pelting Strikes) and reflects some close-quarters attacks. And there you have it.... The only thing you will need to worry about with this build is which stuff to equip and which stuff to sell. To give you some idea about how good this build is, by the time I hit level 50, I had over 15,000,000 gold in my purse. Whats that? Sounds about normal? Well, how about the fact I'd given 2,000,000 gold to each of my three friends who only recently bought the game and needed a starting boost, and then spent the best part of an hour shopping with a friend and his Shadow Warrior, buying him around 10 new weapons and around 30 items of armour (because his SW wasn't even getting 1 star items). I've also had to set my auto-pickups to "2 stars or more" because I fill up my inventory in minutes, even though my total space used is 11/169, and the last time I saw a 1 star weapon or armour piece in a merchants.... well, I can't even remember! And as for staying-alive-ability, I've got over 1800 Light Health Potions and over 1400 Health Potions, because in my left hand I'm holding a sword that leeches 30 HP with every hit, my left hand holds a sword that leeches 34 HP with every hit, and my armour and jewellery leeches another 45 HP with each hit - all bought or found - and I'm doing approx 15-20 hits per second. She is shopper. She is treasure hunter. She is warrior.

Boo! Boo! Hiss! Gratz man.

No trades yet, but I've been playing it all day and just added a few more pieces. Did me some farming runs, got me some lower level items. I just got to the desert in SP campaign (silver, level 66, custom seraphim build which I'm typing up ATM) so I'm going to do some Harpy Queen and Holos runs in the next day or so, get some more items. I'm also going to sweeten the deal by giving everyone who trades with me 20 runes on top of what they already want. I only used 1 of each rune on my seraphim, the rest I'm saving. I have.... lots.

List updated. Its been quite a day!

Me, obviously, but she's not too far behind.... she has her own PS2, PSP and DS (all pink too), as well as her own Xbox 360.

@ gogo - Nice work! Although I'll just make a note here and now and confirm I am a man, and the XBL Gamertag is the wife's, cos we have a console each, and just use the same profiles. Honest! @ Zinsho - Yes. Yes I did. If you googled "uuddlrlrba" before my site, the number one result was the .com site, which if you see it, you'll probably agree its a waste of money. Now, the number one result is us.

Addicted is not the word! Its almost like life itself! We've been going around 18 months now and while we're not as busy or big as I'd like to be (it seems we only have the same old 10 or so posting), we've had some good times. Those codes under avatars wasn't done by me directly, but I do know how it works. I dunno how different phpBB is to the code you guys use, but it should be pretty darned easy to copy it across and convert it as needed. The gamer/trophy cards in the signatures is even easier to do - I know this because I did it myself. As a whole, adding new BB tags is as easy as you want to make them. To be honest, I can't code for toffee, but I can look at someone else's and adapt it as needed. I've added codes to allow Youtube embeds, Gametrailer embeds, and more. If either yourself or Schott wants to take a peek at the codes we got, give me a shout and I'll send them your way.

If you don't want to upset the hardcore fanboys, then you're gonna wanna use "Gamertag" for 360 and "PSN ID" for PS3. We've done something similar over on my site where everyone can add their console names/codes under their avatars, as well as a simple tag to allow gamercards and trophycards to be viewable in signatures. Need a hand?

I did that with my last list, and when I went to edit it, it all turned into HTML and screwed it up. But I'll give it another shot. Also, if a list is worth writing, its worth writing write. Erm, right.

So here's the deal. I'm desperately after some set pieces for my Seraphim, as well as some weapons that I can pass on to my still-being-planned Shadow Warrior.

Best thing to do is use Schott's farming guide. Essentially, start up a new Free World game, then work your way to where the White Griffin is. Activate that regen post and then kill the Griffin. Then, provided you have Kufferath Castle's gate activated, teleport to there and then walk to the centre of the forest south of the castle and kill the Giant Boar. Save, then leave the game. Start a new Free World game, then do the same again and again and again.... In single player, the minibosses are gone forever when killed. In multiplayer, they reappear with every new game started. Both of them drop set items regularly, but they're level capped. I think the highest item I have from the Griffin is level 50 and the boar is level 40. I haven't tried the other minibosses as yet on account of playing the game as it should be, but if you want some fast set items quickly, this is your best bet.

Had a few crashes, usually when trying to load a new area. Have to shut off the power to the PS3 then restart. Hourly saves are the way forward.
