my new party

[whick3]

well i got this odd idea, so i'm going to do it,
running a 4 man group
elf bis
hum ninja
fel sam
elf monk


no hyribds, i almost never spend the time to get there magic up, i mostly use them for melee. So here is what i'm going to do, no magic skills at all, i'm going to train CStrike, and stealth, then, dump them into fighters, the sam and bis will have 1 lvl of rogue

i'm not 100% sure on how i want to do my weapons, i was thinking this, this the part i need advice on

monk sod, until zbo , i might leave him monk keep zbo, and give sod to bishop
ninja is using 2 swords, after fighter fang/de
sam is using 2 swords, after fighter I AM UNSURE, i need advice here
bishop no combat really, just spells and spells

the reaon for this is , well, boredom, WEAPON advice is what i really need, thanks for reading

[whick3]

just some more info, i'm training the ninja for locks, i've played the game over say 6 times, and each new party i just want more power, i want to do more dmg, i just want to make a pure party of elite demigods, thats how i play, its a bit of a curse, but with my playing style i can play a game of months, i just want to know the best route before i spend those months of playing just to go back and do it again, guess i'm alitle OCD.

HAPPY GAMING

If you want carnage change the ninja to a fairy and get the CC. Also, Mauler and Diamond Eyes make a great pair to wield for any fighter, or if you train the ninja with duel nunchucas he can switch to a fighter and his mace and flail skill will be ready for Mauler and Diamond Eyes. Question, will a changed Ninja to Any other class keep the abillity to CS or would that go away, say for a fighter? A fighter with the staff of Doom is my favorite for max carnage though. However I have never tried a Sam. with LS and the SoD that may be fun.

If you are patient enough: try to get 2 light swords ninja and samurai!

[whick3]

My ninja will sword/chuck to get the skills for light and DE when he becomes a figter.
Nightwing, yes a fighter will keep CStrike or any other skills you have trained in other classes, LS is not really that great, i see it maybe 5% of the time, and LS with a SoD will not work, i don't know if you ment that though

*spoilers*


About the light sword, i know the ghost pirates drop one, and there is a chest somewhere, could you give me the loc of the light swords, do you offer any advice for my monk?

[whick3]

right now i'm trying stealth in the ummm , courtyard where those lizards are, takes about 4 hours to get 100, i've never seen 101, the party is doing good, with light/de light/de and a zbo maybe , 100 stealth, 100 cstrike < i know it don't do much but i'm picky > going to have to a great party [img]smile.gif[/img]

What do you mean, 101? 100 is maximum for skills.
The ghosts are in Bayjin Shallows, you will probably have to kill Nessie first. Everyone of them may(!) drop a light sword, so you can kill one, if he doesn't drop the sword reload, else run away from the fight with the ls and save. And the same again... Don't no, but there should be some chest somewhere that may contain a light sword, too?

If you go to the Shallows from the Bayjin side, you don't have to kill Nessie. The Chest with the LS (around 3% of the time) is in Bayjin as well. In a hut with one sentry.
It's usually easier to go right as soon as you get into Bayjin from the Swamp, and walk up the ridge in a draw just past the spur with the boulder. You should come down the other side directly behind the hut in question.
It's pretty easy to avoid all fights but the crabs in the tunnel, the 3 Sentries and--if they don't retreat--thier Thralls, and the Sentry guarding the chest. Push your way into the hut in combat walk to get yourself into the left corner, so even if others join the fight, they can't get to you, and they'll retreat and disengage. Flying Snakes may take some time to disengage. My record for this run is L10 Trio (Fighter Rogue Bishop) in Normal, and that group got the Light on the first try!!! (3 out of around 50 parties have gotten it on the first try; i'm lucky)
I posted a thread some while ago about the Buccies and what they yielded in 100 simple kill-m-all fights. It is possible to obtain a total of 8 Light Swords in the game, but it would take some number of weeks of reloading. You could make it a little easier by dragging them to the Zone line so you can run to save when (!) you get a good bag.
I don't even try any more to get one from the Buccies. They drop them much less often, it seems, than the chest, and if i don't get one in a couple tries, i haven't been bothering--the other good swords are good enough. Most of my more recent parties have had one or fewer Sword wielders, anyway.


HAH!!! according to Flamestryke, Bothe Buccaneer Ghost and Hut Chest have 2.47% chance of dropping Light Sword. Of course, that's only if the Buccies drop anything...

re.dropping light sword at chest;do you keep on opening the chest? or do you have to go back to the entrance to bayjing? Re getting multiple light swords from the pirates.how do you do that, after getting one camp for 48 hrs and try to get a second one? I dont understand about dragging across the line?? Thanks BRIAN

For the chest you have to re-enter the area so use one of your "non" quick saves. For anything you actually kill you can just keep trying. Just do the quick sv for those.
