Equips & Weapons

Hai :D, I came back after years of not playing, I may have played a little but it was years ago, I came back to play just for a day and quit again for 2 years, so it's been like 4 years since I really played it for a good amount, and I'm kind of lost D:

Where do I get my equips? I do have good ones for my level, but as a I progress, where do I farm for weapons & armor for my levels? :o

Is there a guide that shows for example:
"At level (let's say uh;) 20-30, you'll be using X "
"For levels 30-41 you'll use X"
same with equips ^ and so on....
x stands for the name of the equip tho, it's just an example.

 

Honestly, things are really new here, and it'll be hard to understand it by yourself, so I really recommend starting a new class.

However, for good loot, I don't recommend farming at all. I recommend lootruning (Just running around a path and getting the chests) somewhere. Some of my personal favorites are the Lusuco region, Corkus, and if you're daring, Sky Islands.

 

Do the chests just appear there ;o? don't need to kill any mobs? Also, what do they give? I hope it's better than farming like you said :3

 

They give items and emeralds but are far more reliable then grinding mobs.

The chests appear in the same locations each time, but take a while to respawn.

As for the rest: items are all designed for different playstyles, so everyone would use different items even if they’re the same level. To level up I recommend doing all your quests and grinding mobs to get the extra bits of xp uou would need after you finish all the quests

 

I think the only challenge I would be facing is getting good equipments to be honest. Do quests give great equips?

 

Good items can be dropped by mobs, but the most reliable source is from loot chests. Quests can give good items as well. I still recommend loot chests though, since they are most reliable.

 

Thanks, is there a requirement to wander around sky islands? Level requirement or something? Just so I won't die if I try to loot that place

 

Sky islands is a level 100 area, although going there at level 95ish should be fine

 

Regarding lootruns - the first useful lootrun that is accessible is the Lusuco area (lvl ~45). Higher level ones include Dernel Jungle (lvl ~65), Molten Heights (lvl ~90), Sky Islands (lvl ~95), and if you're good at navigation, Canyon of the Lost (~85). In general, I'd say there's not much point in worrying too much about matching items together coherently until around level 50. Just using all-around decent legendaries and rares will work until then for the most part, excepting some pairings that blatantly contradict each other (e.g. using a thunder bow along with an armor piece that greatly reduces thunder damage).

My go-to source for locating loot chests is Adomorn's videos, although there are plenty of others on Youtube.
