Hi, played since Acclaim. Been on and off. What's the stats system currently? Any difference from the previous versions? How would one build a warrior?
Szafka is close STR: Weapon Requirement (can go up to +10 of weap req to give a cushion) ESS: Base or Relic requirement (if using relics) WIS: Base or Relic requirement (if using relics) CON: Rest of Stats here DEX: Main Stat (Pump this to max) Follow this rule of thumb and you'll be fine.
Warrior build for pve (at OC1+) : 20 CON base, STR of weapon, rest on dex. Every chi breathing you put 6 points in CON.
Don't add any point to ESS or WIS. You waste only points. That relics are crap and are good only for loyalty. In this version there are much better relics easy to obtain, such as rank relics.
^ Completely avoid the standard good karma/bad karma relics, they're useless now. The Earthly Spirit ones from RTD will give you 5% crit, you get a 5% and 10% weapon damage permanent relic from the disciple gifts. The Rank 5 - 1 War Spirit relics are also pretty good and you'll get some leech/crit/extra hp/etc... If you need to keep relics, use them for loyalty or NPC them as ihgyug suggested, craft relics but don't put wis/ess for relics. You won't need to worry too much about them, not with the 30 day banner (permanent currently) you will be fine, anything else is pretty much a bonus. The level 50 set from attendance event which ends after tomorrow (22nd) is actually a decent set 250 hp/ 200 ve, 5% crit, 10% speed, some ve leech. You ref that +3 you got yourself a pretty decent set to keep you going until CS/GL sets.
I was going to ask what those loyalty attributes does? I have been npc'ing them...and thanks for all the help!
The step stones? They're used to upgrade your weapons from step 1 to step 5. You gain 2 donation points for every [new] weapon you donate. At low levels until Icy, just npc the ones you don't need. I kept the True Hero steps because they go up to 8% weapon damage. If you mean relics, press L and check loyalty, everything will explain itself.
