it depends on what weapon you want, the best is to keep it and buy a weapon from the marketplace later (go now to the marketplace and check if there is some offers of the items you want, if there are no offers you can just put it in the weapon you want to loom) always start with your weapon.

masterwork bec de corbin for 2 loompoints? i misbought and i want to get rid of it

if you are archer you MUST buy it on the marketplace, with the new archery nerf patch everyone wants to get rid of it

It all depends on what your play style is. Choose the weapon that you use the most and like a lot and heirloom it. If your super new to the game ask around and try a few weapons out before using that heirloom.

Personally I feel you should go pure thrower and heirloom some nice tasty heavy throwing axes.

Sell it on the marketplace and then buy a +1 weapon you like.  That way you get a +1 weapon and a bunch of gold.

Plant it into the ground and grow a farm.


Jk, honestly, hold on to it. You can get a +3 for 2 loom points and some gold.

I'd say you can either sell loompoint for ~500k, grind another 500k (or sell second loompoint) and buy good +3 item, or you can try to make money in the market. Sell loompoint for +1 item and gold, then trade if for another +1 and gold, repeat. But it can be pretty hard.

This is not a good advice. Never buy +1 weapons (items) unless they are really rare. Wait until you get a second loompoint and trade both of them (+ some gold) for the item you want. Most +1 items will cost atleast 300k. To get them to +3 you will need 2 more loompoints. By offering 2 loompoints for a +3 you save up to 300k gold (2/3 of another loompoint). It is usually a good idea to loom gauntlets first. They have a high value on the marketplace and you can use them with each class.

The best thing to do with loom points is to sell them to me. I offer the best price and your trade is processed immediately. You can do whatever you want with your own pile of money, now. (http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=marketplacebooth&merchant=Kafein)

It is usually a good idea to loom gauntlets first. They have a high value on the marketplace and you can use them with each class.

That doesn't work for every build.  Cavalry LOSE money over gens, so they can't sell 2 loom points + use the gold they've acquired over those 2 gens and get a +3 item.  For cavalry I WOULD suggest selling your first loompoint, and buying a +1 (horse) with the money you make, and still hopefully have 100k or so left over.  That 100k should tide you over for a couple gens of upkeep.  Next 2 retirements put your loom points to making your horse +3.  4th loompoint, sell it again and buy your +1 weapon on the market and have some more money left over.

If you're a footman, then yes, I would suggest either selling your first loom and holding onto the money, or just wait on it, and sell 2 of your looms at once and use the money (plus what you've made as footman) to buy a +3 item.

I'd recommend if you know what build you like playing as, to loom your weapon first, then your body armor.  If you're cavalry, then I'd loom your horse first, and then weapon.

I don't agree with the advice to loom gauntlets first.  The logic they suggest is good (that you can use the gauntlets with any class), but body armor is better, so figure out what class your main will be, and stick with it.  Most body armor at +3 will give you 5 more body and leg armor.  +3 gauntlets will typically only give you 5 more body armor.  What's better, 5 additional body and leg armor, or just 5 additional body armor?

I counter your money grind with my money grind: 21/18 2h axeman with cloth armour. There's always greatswords to pick up.
