Beginner's Help and Guides / Re: Could use some advice on how to balance gear

Going to keep this in english to not exclude the others in what we're saying

Funny that you should mention Bavvo, he's my brother (and the reason why Mercs let me in)! For now I'll happily stick with Mercs, but thanks again for the offers!

I've not yet been introduced with Strategus - though I'll probably get there eventually. The battles planned in strategus, are those between clans or how does that work?

Oh wow, I really appreciate all the offers and I must say the warmth in this community is somewhat breathtaking compared to a lot of gaming communities these days!

I've already been accepted into the Mercs as a social member (or whatever they call someone who is completely useless but allowed to wear the banner) and I've also gotten heaps of advice so far as well as some gear coming my way. Also it saddens me somewhat to admit, but I've switched to 1h/shield after listening to the arguments given for switching and feeling that their reasons were well founded (I actually have a lot more fun too!) - so I'm no longer a proud polearmer, you'll see me on EU1 running around with my shield up most of the time!

Lastly, your assumption about me being swedish: Du har helt rätt, jag är svensk! Tackar hjärtligt för erbjudandet!

Thanks a lot for the advice and for taking the time to help me out, both of you! This gives me a much better idea of where to go from here and also answered a couple of things I've been wondering about but did not remember to ask in my original post!

Beginner's Help and Guides / Could use some advice on how to balance gear

« on: December 03, 2013, 10:06:20 pm »

Greetings dear community!

I've played this game for an impressive two days and I could use some pointers. I've read through some of the guides and threads for newbies, some really helpful stuff there, but I haven't found quite what I was looking for. It's very possible I just missed it in all my excitement to log on and get my face bashed in but anyways...

I am working on a polearm build based on what I've read on this forum and I'm leaning towards going slightly more towards agility (over str) because I would really prefer to be able to move easier than hitting harder.

My issue is this: I've no clue how to balance my gear!

• Do I even bother buying gear during the levling up phase or do I wait until I'm a higher level?
• Weight will slow me down, heavier gear also protects me better right? So... what would be a general idea of "balance" between the two?
• I've read that going for gear up to maybe 25k gold is fine if you don't want to end up losing gold on upkeep costs (over time), I seem to be barely making gold with my very cheap gear - is 25k gold too high for someone with my limited skills?
• What's the most important gear pieces - do I mainly focus on an expensive weapon or do I try to keep it evenly between the slots?
• Follow-up question on the last one: Which is the most important piece of equipment, as in, which piece do I spend all my shiny gold on first?

Hopefully these questions makes sense heh..
