Nessie Ha!!!!!!!!

Okay, you guys obviously had FAR superior equipment to me at this point in the game. Bloodlust is the most powerful sword I have (and still have now at lvl 20).

Well in terms of front line... My Lord has Bloodlust, also. My Valk has a um - War Lance or something? Can't recall where I got it. Dropped off a monster if I remember correctly. And some other type of normal lance.

My thief has a Thief Dagger (I think it's called) which does poison randomly. My archer has a bow (and a mace of some kind).

My faerie priest has a staff of some kind, but never attacks. Same with my mage, who has a fire staff he just got in Rapax, but never attacks either.

My general tactic is:

If monster is in range, attack it with melee and spells.

If not in range, ranger shoots arrows, priest cast shield of some kind, and mage casts summon elemental at highest sphere.

So for me, it's not the killer weapons, but the killer spells. Some people will LOAD/RESTORE where they know good weapons drop.

Like the *LIGHT* *SWORD*, Excalibur, Cane of Corpus, etc.

Me, I just load up with defensive spells with the priest, then damage spells with my mage, and let the melee do what they can.

I have found nothing better than that and the demon thing. I also have only found a total of 40 Viper arrows so far

At level 20? Really?
That is very weird... very weird indeed.
I find arrows of all kinds, everywhere. (I also have a portal set at Crock's to buy arrows).

dude dont use the bloodlust with your fighter man.
its prolly whats messing up ur fighter.
maybe the berserking feature of the bloodlust is interfering with you innate fighter berserking ability.

ohh by the way
its prolly a good idea too have ur fighter also have a ranged attack since fighters have no magic.

another good idea for fighters is that they dont have much to do skills wise.
so u might want to take advantage of the extra skill points and dualwield him, as well as make him a good bowman.
I really dont use a shield with a fighter since they can already wear the strongest armor, plus they have so high hit points plus u should be getting iron skin early on also. So u really dont need the extra protection, so might as well use ur other hand for another weapon.
I gots the diamond eyes on his offhand.

To get EXCALIBUR SWORD, You reload the file before entering NESSIE AREA. That means the contents of chest are set when you first time entered the AREA. So you reload the files before entering BAJIN SHALLOWS. GOOD LUCK!!

How do you guys find all these cool weapons?

Patience, my man. It's all about the reload function. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Seriously, it is all about patience. I went through a couple of save & reloads to grab the weapons. Did you go through the T'Rang/Umpani missions before going into the Sea Saves? Here are where I got my weapons.

Sword of 4 Winds - Lucky enough to get two. Pickpocketed Balbrack for one (with 2 Filcher's Bands), and another one from a chest in the Gigas Mts.

Bushido Blade - Very easy to get from Raven Rapax. Just save before you squash him, and then keep reloading over and over till he drops one.

Diamond Eyes - Got one from the tomb area in the Mt. Wilderness.

Arrows - I collected a bunch of Mystic and Viper arrows easily from all the shops I went through which includes Crock and if you didn't turn in the traitor, Kunar. Both of them sell very good ammo. Just keep camping 24 hours while working on your magic to stock up.

Or if you have tons of patience, you can run by Nessie and jump up the first air pocket thing, RUN AWAY from Nessie until combat ends, and do the save/reload thing with the Buccaneer's to grab a Light Sword. Then, engage Nessie.
