What would you loom now?

[Werfried]

So after all these patches i wonder what i should loom now.
I am gen 5 now and i have a +3 bar mace, and that is the weapon i use most of the time.

A year ago most people said looming glooves is the best option after the weapon. I havent found my "perfect" body armor yet, so looming glooves seems still a good option.
But i also started to play a 2h/pole cav hybrid (i suck as cav, but i was bored from 4 gens as infantry), so maybe it would be a good idea to loom a horse?
Or maybe even the morningstar for more killing power from horseback?

I know, in the end i have to find the answer for myself, but i am really intersted what you guys think

I'm gen 16.

Being cav, looming my horse has had most impact, i think. I feel the difference between a non-loomed weapon and a +3 one is smaller than the differences between regular and a champion horse.
But, like you said, you have been infantry for 4 generations and have only started cav. So looming a horse might be unwise because you might reconsider and go infantry again next generation.

Hand armour is a safe choice. Whatever class you play, you should be able to use those. But does one really notice those few extra points of armour?

You could also do a bit of research before you heirloom anything; see what is popular at the moment and pick something that can easily be traded for something else (maybe even at a profit!)...

Loom armour , you will notice the differance between it and you can use it with each class.

Except the classes you cant...

Practise dagger.

armor then gloves. Cav is for noobs.

there is always that option to save your loom point for when your ready to use it so just take your time.

I loomed my mail mittens to +3. I've never taken them off since. The difference is night and day. (+3 armor -> +8)

Generally speaking while looming take into consideration the worth of the outcome item. Looming weapons is bad idea since market is full of them, either horse or parts of armor would be my choice.

[Mlekce]

dont look the prices,you loom what you want to use for whole crpg life. If you want to sell items,then it is better to sell 3 loompoints then loom stuff and sell it.
I have german gs and that is weapon i will use while i play this mode. I don't care how much it costs because it is not for sale. I loom gloves for myself,so you need to think good what you want to use,ad loom that

[Werfried]

Thanks for the useful answers guys. I tend between looming glooves or a horse.

But like Aztec said, i will take my time and think about it. And i definitely dont want to sell a loom - if i loom it, i will use it.

Mail mittens

I'd loom a hornbow instead of a longbow, if I knew better.

Horse (if you use one) > Armour > Weapon > Shield (if you use one)

I regret looming my weapons first honestly.

When I had the same choice what to loom first I couldn't decide. So I loomed my scale gauntlets. It was the best decision, as I changed armor and weapons during the next gens and the only thing I always wore through all gens where my gauntlets. I switched to cav for a few gens but got quickly bored of it, especially after the patch when half the server was cav. I love killing cav now
