The Guildmasters

Yes i’m seriously considering reincarnating one more time in White Knight Chronicles. I’ve rebirthed five times up until now and although I don’t particularly enjoy working my way back up to level 50 it’s not so bad, probably take about a day now.

There are several reasons why i’m thinking about this, the first is mainly because no matter what I can’t seem to get a GR12 longsword, the second reason is i’ve seen some seriously heavy attack combos with players using the spear, the added extra with the spear is that you can hold a shield too which boosts your attributes even more.

My biggest problem with another rebirth will be what skill trees to use so i’m looking for some help here before I decide to do this or not. BO is a spear user and if your reading this BO I would very much appreciate your input. I want to keep the Divine magic set as I still want to be able to heal, raise, haste etc…they are quite important in most quests, at least to me they are.

So keeping the Divine magic tree and then the spear tree is already taking up a fair amount of my skill points. Obviously I don’t have to max them to 100% and I probably wont, the trick is how to even everything out decently but still keep what I want.

In the Divine magic skills I don’t use fatigue, molify, slow, or silence so I won’t waste points on those. At the same time I want to have a second weapon skill available in case I don’t get on with the spear or in case I want to use another weapon on certain quests, like for enhancing with certain elements for certain battles. I don’t particularly like the shortsword as i’ve tried that but I was thinking of the bow as a second weapon, again not maxing the skill out but getting enough to at least do elemental combos.

So here is one way for me to go, probably max out spear (unless advice tells me otherwise), then get the skills I know I will use in the Divine magic, then I would still want to even out the other skills for the extra MP, HP, STR etc..and hopefully have enough left over to get say 50% of the bow skill.

The bows i’ve personally found not that hard to get hold of so I could have four bows, one for each of the elements, many battles seem to involve dragons or giants at some point which are all weak against one element at least, so my bows would give me the edge I want during these battles.

The spear I would use as my main weapon against all other enemies. Now by using spear and possibly a shield this may lead other players to automatically assume that i’m a tank, this is what I do not want to become, I love the attacking and I would get no pleasure from tanking, but again i’ve not paid much attention to what a tank actually does.

From what I know a tank uses threaten to attract all the attacks on himself while others kill the boss, this sounds fairly easy but I also heard that a really good tank will heal too, so you need to be extremely high on defense and resistance, attract the attention of the boss, take all the damage and heal if you can, no attacking could be quite boring for me leading to loss of interest in the game and I don’t want to do that, another reason I want to hear from other spear users.

At the moment i’m still working on the 10 mill trophy and the 450 item bind trophy so i’m not doing any particular quests right now, a bit of everything as I can use most drops from most quests to bind something or other, I missed a lot of lower items so i’m managing to bind quite a few each day even while i’m helping lower Guild Rank players.

I look forward to any help, advice or tips anyone can give me, if I rebirth again it won’t be until around midweek when i’ve really had chance to think about it more and gather advice from others.

Well I’ve played a lot on the White Knight Chronicles and I think i’ve got to think about moving onto something else soon. I’m still running around with a GR 11 sword which still surprises me, i’m guild rank 15 and I should have been able to acquire a gr 12 sword a long time ago, doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.

What I have decided to do now is to mainly play solo quests and try and get my platinum trophy, i’m still missing the 500 item bind trophy and the 10 million guilder trophy, I can get both of these on my own. I’m not being funny either, it’s a shame but there are surprisingly few players actually playing this game now compared to just two months ago.

Since watching E3 and seeing the new Assassins Creed i’m really waiting for that, it looks amazing and i’m going to be writing a fairly in depth post on this later on next week, any Assassins Creed fans should check back about mid week.

I will still play WKC even when I get the platinum because for me it is as good as some of the major games like Oblivion and Morrowind and I still go back to those and play them from time to time, WKC will also be a game like that for me and I have every intention of getting me WKC 2 as soon as that comes out.

I’m still going to be around WKC for the next month or so as it will probably take me that long to get platinum, i’m just going to limit my play to less days so I can review more new games hitting the stores.

I’ve also got some special stuff planned for the blog over the coming months but that’s for another post so check back from time to time and don’t be shy, say hi, ask questions, give some advice or just tell us what your up to.
