So I keep hearing arde dagger is by and far the best 1h weapon early on. What makes it so good? How many levels will it carry me? I’ve been eyeing Valia on the ah, is arde dagger better?thanks inadvance for any response.
“what makes it so good”
as a chaplain you are doing multiple hits per attack, having an arde dagger would give you an additional 153 fire attack per hit on your normal attacks
let’s say you hit 3x, you’d get about 459 more fire attack on those.
for other stuff you can try toy hammer, valia, catacombs club
Hmm I see. But how good is it exactly? Does it completely blow everything else out of the water, or is it like a 20-30% dps increase compared to a decent lv120 1h?
Would Valia at least compare to it in output?
I guess what I am really getting at here is: should I consider any other weapon besides arde dagger, or should I just hoard my silver until I can get my hands on one?
you don’t need to rush it by spending silver unless you really feel unlucky
I got mine around lv 150-170, I kinda forgot but I did several 90 dungeon boss rushes until i got enough boxes and opened them all.
If damage is what you want make it a priority. you can get better 1H weapons anyway as you level up but arde is forever unless you want karacha or venom as an upgrade.
also I dont need to explain how much it boosts because you can see that almost every priest-chaplain bot has one, that alone shows how much it does as an off-hand
Arde is an off hand weapon. You can use it with Valia, toy hammer etc. Consider this though, Arde (lvl 75 weapon) will carry you until Karacha becomes available (lvl 170) and even then Arde will still be strong (although not as strong as karacha/venom). As the poster above said, Arde will make a single autoattack of yours(multiplied by your number of hits from cafrisun, sacrament etc) deal effectively 459 more damage, you cannot get that from any weapon.
I was a sadhu in iCBT and it carried me to to 190+ until I got Karacha. That’s how good it is.
Another thing that most people don’t know or don’t share is that it acts as pierce attack if needed.
So if you use auto-attack and most of us do, you will always get the 50% attack bonus. That’s a lot.
If mob is weak to strike equip mace+dagger and attack pressing Z.
If mob is weak to slash equip sword+dagger and attack pressing Z.
If mob is weak to Pierce equip highest dmg+dagger and attack pressing C.
Every single mob is weak to one of those.
You can alternate set of sword+dagger x mace+dagger using alt+Z.
It’s an attribute you buy in your class master.
And watch you destroy everything.
The bonus damage only works for your physical damage first hit tho.
As far as Toy Hammer goes its most likely Bis for Chaplain, if you have all your buffs up and you have Cafrisun set every autoattack will have 5 hits total meaning every 2 swings Toy Hammer will proc.
As for Arde dagger what most people said here, Karacha is better but Arde will still be good up to 280.
