The Guildmasters

Yes I finally threw away the old longsword and took up spear today, tried it out first on big red and i’m impressed overall.

Next test was to run a quest with others so went to my town and quested with Death, Cuffy and Ko Ko and although it was only a GR 9 quest I think i’m going to be happy using spear from now on.

The damage is better for less and sonic javelin is just great for mobs, especially boars and scorps. I have a way to go to get all my spears and equipment but at last i’m at my final weapon.

I would like to thank BO for all his advice on the spear, very helpful indeed which meant I have got the right armor and weapons for the job, not everything but if I hadn’t been pointed in the right direction I would have got confused with all the DEX/VIT/AGI thrust etc…Thanks.

Next test is a GR 12 quest with others to see if I can hold up ok.

First of all I would like to show you these stats when wearing a bunch of gear that I own, it’s a mix match but it’s probably close to what I would wear if I was tanking. Low on STR but very high in DEF as a tank needs to be able to take damage not deal damage although this set up with added VIT will not entirely be without damage attacks, with this set up you can still do some reasonable damage when using attacks like Dart, Pentaslam and Sonic Javelin. Here are my stats on this particular setup:
ATK 241 DEF 608 MAG 104 RES 85 STR 100 VIT 243 INT 104 SPR 65 AGI 107 DEX 115 To get such high DEF this is what I was wearing:

Warriors Fists+10 DEF 67 water attribute+4 MP+42 VIT+52 AGI+42

Warlords Footgear+10 DEF 79 HP+192 INT+56 DEX+46

Knightlord Pants+10 DEF 77 wind attribute+12 HP+158 MP+16 VIT+56

Valiant Armor+10 DEF 77 wind attribute+4 HP+128 MP+14 VIT+35

Accessory: Bloody Chlamys RES 10 MP+15 VIT+4 AGI+4

Accessory:Colossal Ring DEF 1 STR+5 (not usually used, usually use the Godspeed Ring for an extra 5 AGI)

Weapon: Tsukuyomi+9 ATK 141 HP+56 STR+7 VIT+1

Shield: Royal Shield DEF 64 RES 10 HP+48 VIT+5 SPR+5

This is by no means a typical spear users set up, it’s just one I put together to show you how you can mix things up and as you can see it doesn’t have to be all GR 12 gear, the Valiant Armor is actually GR 11 armor.

Now this can all be switched around with other armor parts, you can up your STR when needed at the loss of some DEF and lets face it you can afford to lose over 100 on DEF in still be in good shape, it’s a matter of experimenting. Anyway I’ll get on with some armor sets with some typical stats used by most spear users.

The best VIT stats I can find on leg gear is the Knightlord Pants at +10 it gives a DEF 77 HP+158 and VIT+56 you won’t find higher than 56 so that is about the best.

Here is the stats for the Knightlord Fists at +9: DEF 77 water attribute +12 MP+9 INT+28 AGI+22 the AGI will double up at +10

Knightlord Boots at +6 is DEF 74 Earth attribute of +12 HP+96 SPR+27 DEX 23 double up on HP SPR and DEX at +10 Sorry but I don’t yet have the armor yet (top part) these sets can be really hard to get.

The next set with AGI is the Warriors set:

Warriors Fists at +10 DEF 67 MP+42 VIT+52 AGI+42

Warriors Lorica+9 DEF 73 HP+88 MP+16 SPR+26 Sorry but I don’t have the other two parts, didn’t realize how much stuff I was missing.

Anyway if you see how this goes there is no one complete set that has just AGI or just DEX so you have no choice but to mix and match. I believe the way level 5 did this is so if you wear a whole set you will be evenly distributed, some of each stat, so if you need more AGI than STR you have to take certain parts from each armor set that has the requirements you want, this would be more ‘specialist’ type armor or customized which is probably better.

It seems because I mix and match so much I don’t have a full set of any GR 12 armor but really that’s how you have to use it. Another part of armor you will see many wearing is the Kukulkan armor, again I don’t have to top part but I do have the cuffs and they are at +10 here are the stats: DEF 54 RES 30 MP+72 VIT+24 AGI+42

Now again if you look at the Kukulkan Trousers+9 the stats seem almost the opposite, here they are:
DEF 62 RES 30 HP+64 MP+32 SPR+26

This is actually getting me down a bit because I have tons of armor but hardly any complete set, the GR 12 armor sets are pretty hard to get hold of, you really need to farm many mats for each piece, and that is apart from the coin prices you need to come up with.

An example of items needed to get just one item is lets say you just wanted the Kukulkan Shoes, you would need 1 swallowtail cocoon which isn’t so bad but you also need 40 Deviltails to bind it, don’t sound too bad either? I have never sold a Deviltail and i’ve been GR 15 for about 3 months so I should have tons right? No, I have only 20 and I know where to get them, that’s how rare some of these items are.

Now most if not all GR 12 armor sets will use items from GR 12 quests and if you notice throughout the game a GR 12 player isn’t usually strong enough to deal with GR 12 quests which is why you need 3 or 4 players so if you find yourself in my situation where there isn’t always players running the quests you need it can get pretty tough acquiring your items.

Well this post was supposed to be GR 12 armor sets for spear users but i’m not going to be able to give the best information at this stage, I didn’t realize this before I started writing so I will spend the next couple of weeks adding to this post as and when I gather more info. My apologies for the title but I will complete this topic eventually.

I would like to point out that being a spear user either Tank or Damage Dealer or both you should acquire 5 spears, 1 with each element added and one main one for physical attack. To be honest there isn’t too many quests where you even require a tank, maybe 3 or 4 quests. The rest are going to be elementals or something that has weaknesses which a team of 3 or 4 can cover quite easily if equipped correctly.

Ok sorry again for the lack of info here but it will be updated as we go along.

Well here I am again, after my rebirth i’m back at level 50, about a day and a half it took, not bad really. Anyway I haven’t been able to get the hang of the spear, it’s really good for some attacks and really crap for others.

Much wasn’t making any sense as I reset my enhancements on the spear and added +5 water, went to try it out on fire beast and it was worse, couldn’t understand it, so I messed around with some stats and it turns out that by upping the VIT it improved the ice and water attacks by a lot, actually improved a lot of attacks overall, just by getting the VIT up.

This is obviously going to take me a while to work out, i’m going to spend several hours trying out different things, this is not like the longsword at all, it’s more complex probably due to the amount of different attacks that rely on different things, will write more on this as and when I know more.

I did give some bad advice in an earlier post when mentioning if armor was used with an added Fire element you would be more resistant to Fire attacks, this is correct but at the time I was referring to the Big Red quest and adding Fire to armor does nothing for you in that particular quests, Big Red doesn’t use fire attacks, even though he is a fire giant he only uses physical attacks.

Fire enhanced armor will still make you more resistant to fire attacks but the only monsters that use fire attacks are fire dragons and pryodemus, not fire giants, just wanted to correct that earlier mistake, sorry.

Tony 🙂

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.

Tony 😉
