Building a scribe

So I need a scribe, but I’m not going for the usual krivis-pala3 (no way I’m competing with the current [barrier] scrolls in telsiai). The thing is, I can’t endure going up to r8 again without some decent damage. To put things into perspective, I’ve leveled up a noINT noSTR noDEX druid3 (got easier at druid3) and a noINT noSTR noDEX priest pardoner inquisitor. Both were hell going up.

So here are the circles I need

  • krivis
  • pardoner
  • oracle

The will obviously be some non negotiable circles like cleric2 and miko (Seriously, the skills are OP). That leaves me with c2-krivis-?-pard-miko-ora-?. Now here’s what I’m thinking for those “?”.

  • cleric3-inquisitor
  • priest-inquisitor
  • deiv-inquisitor
  • krivis-taoist

Now if and/or when I muster the patience to make this … is another issue I’ll deal with later.

If you are building a Simony seller, would you still wish to go to rank 8 inquis?

You have mentioned you dislike leveling cleric due to low damage/low amount of damage options.
You could stop here if your goal is to sell oracle & krivis skills :
Cleric 2 - Krivis - ? - Pardoner - Oracle (turn into simony scroller).
Priest gives you monstrance to sell, blessing doubles hits of Heal vs mobs.
Krivis 2 to get a stronger zaibas to deal with flying enemies.
Diev party support totems, carve attack.
Cleric 3 stronger heal & stronger cure.

I didn’t dislike leveling up a cleric. I disliked my choices leveling up a cleric. At the time there were good ideas because for the content that you get them, they were decent. The priest going up was amazing until 200. The druid was bokor going up and for the content it was amazing ([bwa kayiman] in district 2).

200 came along and it started getting “hard”. From ridiculously easy, it went to WTF just like that. To put things into perspective again, I have a Qs3-Ro3 that could not get a grinding party at all (0 aoe) but I could still get to 290 easier since it could quest. On my priest the last straw was grynas hills. At the time I was 268 trying to kill a blue sakmoli. I could not kill a lv 254 blue sakmoli (while being 14 lvs above it). The quest that had me kill 8 of that way what broke me. LEEEEECH MEEEEEEEEE!!

I suppose I should add the condition “Can solo quest in r7 content”.

The game changer would be Miko. Miko is r6 that comes with a very good damage skill (if it reaches us unchanged). And it comes at a time where content starts to check for damage. I mean, r1-r5 is pointless. All builds work there. I can see [hamaya] carrying any class choice made at r1-r5 (maybe even r7). I mean you can get an infinite stacking [hamaya] going with [clap] (if it does well without INT and just rely on matk sources it’s better). This is why I can see going to r8 if miko comes out.

That said oracle can only be taken at r7 because there is no way I’ll lv to r7 without miko at r6. Things could change if we get the lightning version of agni necklace for a krivis but that is still speculation.

Or I could just take the shortcut and hope for a free rank reset and boop my current pardoner to the new build.

c2-krivis-c3-pard-miko-ora-whatever (INT)

cure15 (16 with DM) and hamaya will help with solo questing on rank 7

without Miko (INT)
c2-krivis-х-pard-ora-pd2

х - bokor/diev bonus debuff for PD
x - priest/cleric3 for best support

c2-krivis-priest-pard-ora-pd2 - optimal

All you need is:

Five hammer (lvl 6 gems or 5 budget)
2x gladiator bracelet
cafrisun set (ench up to 10, put 2x yellow in top and bottom and blue on shoes)

Then you can destroy the contest till 200 and do the last 40 lvls in truffle and forgot the char forever. Go dex build for crit and forget the char forever.

At this point I would in fact suggest C2K1Paladin3PardonerOracle if u can endure then grind up to abbey.

IF you really want better DPS give up 1 crafter circle and pick monk filler at C5, really good damage overall even end game.

Dont go INT if you want to level up fast in pve, CD longs make you exp slower, plus healers are kinda useless in grinding and, trust me, when miko will hit there will be most ppl crying shouts asking for DPS at truffle. With Monk and 7+ AoE atk ratio, good gems and full dex you can easily pick that role (consider toy hammer with 2x yellow gem over five hammer, or both)

I levelled my last no DPS char this way, then an archer with same godly low level gear. I noticed NO difference, aside from the faster kill ratio of archer (only couz ranged vs melee)

lvl 5 gem and new high roll on headgear are like cheating before r8, it’s so damn easy to stack up super good damage.

circle 1-6 are useless damage wise if you can gear properly with high level gem and a good cafrisun set :3

ps: if u can’t endure it, consider paying a leeching service at bee farm till lvl 150 or so, then burn 8x tome and log in only for mission and 145 dng, even if my best suggestion is just top rolling alts for a bit, no reason to burn yourself out. Exping for me is the worst thing ever, I can’t endure more then 2 hour of grinding in a row. People jokes on me but in this way I dont go mad, honestly :wink:

Ofc, SKIP all quest till very late (for main quest, extra stat)

make daino 10 scrolls :tired_face:

daino 7 is enough :joy:

Those scrolls will need pardon2 :tired_face:

As the rank reset feels closer and closer, I’ve been thinking about just reseting my inqui. It was just a 290 slave anyway.

I decided to bump this old thread instead of making a new one.

In light of the intended changes for krivis and the new card system, I might actually be able to build a scribe with some offensive capabilities.

cleric1-krivis2-paladin3-pardoner1-miko


The krivis2 [aukuras] attribute is gonna make it mobile with a 30sec cd. It also adds fire damage and more damage is always great. Not sure what to do with [daino] yet as there are no specific details yet. [divine stigma] is getting a dot and its cd reduced to 6 sec so yey more damage.


Paladin3 is there for [barrier] scrolls assuming there will still be demand for it, but it will have a better effect in the field. It will basically mean more coverage or uptime on barrier with the ability to take damage for someone else.

I’m also taking [restoration aura] to lv15 for 580 HP/s regen (yes per sec, we can do that). I can add 3 poata cards making that ~1500 HP/s (without CON regen)

[elemental resist] is there because it is good. It’s not great, but not bad enough to not take it.

The new skills will have to be tested before I can include them in the build. Probably not since this will be mostly magical (krivis having low cd damage skills). The skill that will have potential with the build might be the new [conversion] IF [aukuras] can increase pet damage as well.
