I've had it, and so have you. When you were a noob, you saw a veteran knight carrying that one piece of gear that you'd live and die for, and you'd strive to finally own it. We've all had that moment, even if the piece of equipment is completely crappy.
So, I'm asking, what was that dream piece of gear you had when you were a noob? And how far did it carry you to craft/get it?
For me it was the Volcanic Plate Set, just looked so demonic and sick.
^ whaat, DA's great in PVE, and afaik, you don't even play LD
_
Gran Faust. I was going to be a cursing charge monster until I realized its charge took too long to be of any worth in PVE :[
I had my Valkyrie set and everything, too.
One of my friends is the one who first showed me a fine weapon called the "Argent Peacemaker". I watched as he used it, every shot fired convincing me more and more to get it any way I could. Much later on in time, he sold his own to me. It was even more impressive when I found out his had the UV of damage bonus vs Fiends very high.
This has become one of my most used elemental weapons and guns.
Sniped stranger hat.
I'm a costume hunter ^ ^ but the moment I saw it I was like "I NEED IT" and paid like 100k cr when I was barely 4*... and I was thinking "I'll never get that amount of money ever again but I'll finally have my birdy!" instead of getting my Leviathan...
And I wore that hat for soooooo long!! Birdy became good friend with Lord Vanaduke...
The Divine Avenger and Wild Hunting blade were my dream weapons... One was totally worth it and It is my 2nd favorite weapon, and favorite to use. (I will always have a spot in my heart for you cutter line.) The second one only looked good for show and sucked.
as a Knight Elite my dream weapon was whatever the 5* version of Heavy Decon was.
ō~ō
Argent Peacemaker. I dunno why, but I just prefer the antigua line over the alchemer line.
Omega shell
It lives up to it's reputation.
Pretty much all bombs ever until I realized they crash my game into nothingness.
Circa September 2011. Just started out the game, got my hands on a Super Stun Gun and a Brandish from your not-so-friendly Vendors. I see a couple of my friends waltzing around in Rose Regalia, namely a couple of Green Chapeaus. And thus it begun; my mission, my obsession, my dedication.
"If that comes in red, I will do whatever it takes to get my hands on it."
Skip ahead to January 2014... And, well. the ungodly screeches I made rivaled the ones I made on that fated day that made the whole world squeal like pigs.
Since day one, it was the Green Rose set. I had to admit, it was pretty darn sexy. Eventually I got a set by trading Apocrean Wings (which cost 4mil crs) for a Green Rose set. Totally worth it.
Waaaaaaaaay back before missions, when my groups would use vials to sneak past that pesky barrier into Emberlight, someone decked out in Azure Guardian gear took me on a run from depth zero all the way to the end of T2.
This summer, a year or something after having crafted the 4* cobalt gear I'd had into Almarian gear instead, I finally finished heating and crafting a second set of cobalt to craft the Azure set. I never wear it, but it makes me feel happy that I finally got it.
Grey Owlite Shield for sure.
It was the first 5* shield I made, so I guess you could say I pursued it pretty faithfully.
deadly virulisk
you guys don't even know how badly i wanted it. SO. BAD. but that was back in the 2011 days, when i had no clue that it's useless for almost everything, except maybe for SL snarb or rotting metropolis rage runs to farm 4 star crystals. leviathan blade was my dream blade, and barbarous thorn shield. i never use any of that gear nowadays.
should've gone for chaos or skolver right away and saved myself like 400k :/
Divine Avenger: Dat charge. I love it now, I bring it me on every mission.
BTB: MINI SNARBY. Awesome x100000.
Ice Queen Helmet: The description makes me laugh. :3
Things that I yet have to get...
Arcane Salamander Set (/e has 3 Tears, but keeps forgetting to get the Chroma Set...)
Triglav and that helm the big guy outside Haven was wearing. Now I have both, and I love them. :D
Divine Avenger. When I was a noob, I was looking on the wiki when I saw a sword with the name avenger. Now, being a total noob, I just decided to get it because I liked the name. Then I realized it was 4* so I dedicated myself to getting it. After many months I got my Avenger and then DA. My first 5* and my most treasured possession. Then I got willmillion. I still do some pretty idiotic stuff like instant buying averything I want from Ah coz I don't have patience and selling my miracle set. I really tend to just go for what looks good :/
My favorite weapon: The Argent Peacemaker - what a beautiful gun with its riighteous shooting style. I have several, and I love them all!
My favorite gear: Radiant Silvermail - the most beautiful armor/gown in the game. Mine has MAX Shadow defense, and when I accented its golden colors with a sunshine aura, I moved from "pro" to "goddess" territory.
My favorite accessory: A golden gun with a golden gown deserved one more ultimate piece for a trinity of purple and golden royalty - Generation 1 regal wings. When accessories were introduced to the game, one of each color of these wings were put in featured auctions. I got outbid on the first pair which sold for about 1.8 million. I was determined to get the next should any appear. Fortunately, they did the gen1 wings auctions one more time, and I got mine for 2.1 milion crowns. While technically any of the gen1 wings can be gotten from a lockbox, it is all but impossible to get them especially in a specific color you want. Their combination of rarity and suitability make them my most treasured item.
When I was a noob, my dream piece of gear was Gunslinger Hat.
Cutter looked awesome, great speed and damage, who knows that stats doesn't show real power of weapons.
mine was WHB. back when beasts were still tracking.
WHB: I tend to go for underrated weapons.
BTB: Snarby~.
BTS: Looked amazing. Very useful in my case.
Snarbolax set: When I first saw it, I immediately wanted it because 1) it looks cool on me, 2) it does shadow and freeze resistance and 3) I look like Snarby. I still haven't gotten it yet.
Watched a youtube video of Magnus and his friends playing FSC. Fell for the Divine Avenger there and then.
Now however I only use my Voltedge. DA has been sold.
Started the game around 2011 but quickly got boring.. A year later this appeared. My only goal in this game was to make a samurai costume so when I finally got it I tried my best to help others make their dream come true in this game. <3
As an apprentice I was so excited to have bought my force buckler after saving up 65 mist :D (back then i was known as the pro for that force buckler)
When I reached Knight elite I saw that DA and I fainted, which resulted in quitting SK. Then I came back wanted one of the brandishes cos its too op.
First 5 star swords... Glacius and acheron they are also only 5 star swords that are level 10 ^.^
Stone tortoise. The friend who was invite me to play had one, I wanted one, later I got one
More specifically the older style RSS. I fell in love with the thing the first time I saw it in a random clockworks party. It tore apart everything before I could reach it. In that run, I knew I needed the little crystal of death.
I loved that bomb, for a while. (08/08/12 NEVER FORGET!)
Went on the wiki and thought that WHB looked awesome, and saw Cutter's high speed. Realized that it might be the best option after a while around the wiki and forums.
Volcanic plate set
i never got it :[
but then i fell in love with the bomber lines, and all the bombs too!! And finally, the mercurial demo suit. I wear it 24/7 ... it gets only a little smelly.
Mine was the Snarbolax set, it looked so epic and cool. But when i learned it came from shadow lairs and saw the price of a shadow key,i quit that mission. But when i got to defender elite, my account got hacked, it had lots of prestige, but when i started my new account, my first ever 5* armor was the snarbolax coat which i never take off. I love and its my life!
once I got into bombing I was looking up on the wiki the different armor and helms and when my eyes viewed the mercurial demo set I was positive thats what I wanted.
it wasn't till much later that I realized its a set only available after a shadow lair... but that didn't stop me! I finally achieved my goal just yesterday and now I am simply over-joyed!
now I just need to set a new goal for myself... hmmmm......
also: @ambasjaydor
there never was a 5* version of the heavy decon and probably never will be...
I always wanted DA, because I saw those videos of it before it was nerfed. Then when I was 2* it got nerfed... and yeah.
The Fang of Vog, of course, I mean how cool was that to a newbie with fresh eyes! It was when I first saw it that I decided I would be a striker and get the flaming striker sword! In fact, soon after I fell in love with anything fiery. This included the Vog Cub set, though I was never a fan of the squinty eyes of the wolver lines As I got to around Defender elite, I took a 14 month break, but not before I got my Vog Cub set, which is still my favorite costume set. I now have all three 5* wolver armors, and am working on getting my FoV.
Divine Avenger, until I realized how useless it was, and as a crutch in LD.
And Fang of Vog. Because of the decently high chances of setting yourself on fire.
