Soon to be fencer (prolly tonight), i wanna know what should be my priority gear wise. I already got a +4 cata rapier, vubbe fighter gloves and thats pretty much it. Now sittin on a lil less than 1.5 m should have 2.5 ish as soon as i sell those recipes. I was wondering do i go for karacha dagger first or work on glad band ? Sub question: right now im 1:3 str:dex ratio, should i pump up str a lil or keep this way up to 280 ?
What is your total STR right now without any other stats boost from equipment? Depends on that I might be able to tell either u should up it a bit more or not.
I would consider getting a Sage Wall first, the magic mobs become more of a threat from 190 ->
Work on your skill attributes instead then get yourself a sage wall instead. Karacha’s only difference from arde is the 11 dex. So Arde will work just fine.
Around 120 str is fine. Do you have con? if not then start pumping it instead or you’ll regret it.
At 65 con as we speak, was aiming for 75
Then continue pumping dex, more crit rate the better.
Also please don’t get glad band. AoE Ratio, Str, and Crit attack. Looks good on paper but with 2 glad band you will only hit 1 more medium mob. Opt for sissel instead.
He’s using cata rapier.
2 from vubbe
1 from cata
that’s 7 aoe attack ratio, 4 medium mobs.
with 2 more glad bands that’s 9 aoe attack ratio
You will be able to hit 5 medium monsters with it, very big difference compared to sissel. It’s nice to have both but I’ll take gladiator any day for grinding vs multiple monsters.
I now have a gladiator band and I waste significantly less sp killing a group of monsters. But of course for bosses I’d take sissel over gladiator
Here’s a video showing how annoying it is to not have a gladiator band:
for non-earth tower tanking late game(storage-workshop-maven) I just used the same items in the video, never needed other stuff or shield. You shouldn’t be planning to go earth tower with a fencer anyway.

You have to understand that Fencers are never meant for AoE. 2 bracelets for 1 more mob to hit? Trust me it’s never worth it. This is much like the argument of musketeers opting for vubbe gauntlets as an end game gloves, it’s just not enough to call it a game changer. I’ll take 74 more crit rate any day vs hitting 1 more mob.
Never meant for aoe yes, but you will want to hit as many as possible when farming. In fact it could cut your killing time to somewhere near half. Having 360 crit rate is actually enough already, and it isn’t just 1 more mob, that’s 2 more.
Basically 2 more than the default of being able to hit 3 with vubbe. There’s also headgear enchants but I’m not going there since they’re expensive.
Yeah if you have enough money to stack items with AoE ratios from head to toe then why not? It’s much of a preference anyway… and money. :V
ohh and for @Meitner you could throw that cata rapier away for a bit, use venier then get sissel+gladiator band. You’d end up hitting 4 monsters with better damage thanks to venier. Reminder that there are a lot of dark-type monsters later on so venier comes in really handy
Tryin to find a venier or the recipe, theres none on Orsha. Ill keep an eye on that.
I got A +4 cata for cheap so i jumped on that
yea that’s fine for now, I was the same but after touching venier my cata rapier got stuck in storage forever, until I decided to sell it on market
you could still use it as an extra weapon in case your main breaks though
Its always my policy to carry 2 rapiers wherever i go… cos rapiers break so darn easily… -_-lll
