Problems with Tier 2

I have been having a lot of problems with Tier 2 right now. I constantly get killed because of Fire and general swarming.

My current set up is:

Helm - Colbalt Helm
Armor - Colbalt Armor
Weapon 1 - Calibur
Weapon 2 - Blast Bomb
Shield - Defender (Possibly Owlite soon?)

Any advice on what I should upgrade/build next? I am tired of getting killed so often and having to rely on my teammates.

Leviathan or Vanquisher: which path?

I decided to switch to the Calibur line, and so far I really like it and will continue to upgrade it. I have the Tempured Calibur right now, and was wondering which sword is overall better: the Leviathan, or the Cold Iron Vanquisher. The vanquisher seems like better overall weapon, though I notice it loses the knockback. The high undead damage is really appealing, as I am running the Skelly set right now. So, which do you all prefer?

Magic Hood UV - worth using?

Submitted by Storm-Crow on Mon, 06/20/2011 - 16:28

I recently got a UV low fire resistance Magic Hood. Would it be better to sell it ? I already have a plain elemental hood crafted, that I use - the 3 star version of magic hood. I do however dislike getting fire damage a lot.. Your call guys.

While we are in the topic, are Magic hoods really useful? I liked the look of Grey feather and wanted to get one eventually.. But then again, I could always use one as a costume. I have wolver armor and swiftstrike buckler currently. Along with a flamberge and voltech alchemer.

Winmillion any good?

I managed to buy the winmillion recipe from a terminal, and am currently on tier 2. Is it worth it to craft it, or would I be better off with another sword line, especially once I hit tier 3?

I'm currently in Tier 2 and looking for one of the Alchemer guns. I've had some input on this already but am looking for a wider opinion. So which one is best?

Barbarous Thorn vs Owlite

  • The Arsenal

I've only just got to Tier 2, but I'm thinking long-term for items. Everywhere, I keep hearing that Grey Owlite is the golden standard for shields, but having found little, if any, comparison between Owlite and Barbarous Thorn shield on these forums, I was wondering if anyone could help illuminate the pros and cons of each shield beyond the numbers to be found on the wiki. Which shield is better overall for a mixed sword/gun userr?

Good 2* Gearing

  • The Arsenal

Hey, new to the game, just starting to plan out my 2* gear set, for t1 and the occasional t2 runs. I'm thinking:

Wpn1: Blaster/Shadowtech/Firotech, depending on weaknesses I'm likely to find.
Wpn2: Cutter
Helm: Jelly
Shield: Volt Breaker
Armour: Skelly Suit

This isn't for specific grinding, just for being open to anything. And no "Y U NO JK GEARED?"

UVs, Are They Really Worth It?

Submitted by Comradeer on Mon, 06/20/2011 - 10:54

  • The Arsenal

Hello everyone, I recently started playing and just hit Tier 2. At the beginning I thought I knew what I wanted to be my end-game items so I followed a strategy of crafting a lot of the same items, selling the ordinary and keeping the Unique Variants. When I started playing on Tier 2 though I realized that one specific loadout isn't going to cut it, much less in Tier 3 and decided to craft a lot more swords/handguns/armor etc.

So my question is: Do UVs really make a difference at end-game and is it worth it to invest the time to put UVs on all my items?
