So with eso reset

[Mercutial]

I wonder how many people with the Hive weapon are still looking to upgrade weapon first. As opposed to either the legs/chest they neglected in Alex NM....

So sad 4 pages of people saying Weapon.. why I wonder.. maybe that they shit on us with 180s that are not even worth it.. but didn't even implement jewelry or a weapon to be 180.. yup thats right highest craftable item 2 months after launch for xpac for crafters weps/jewelry is ilvl150 enjoy.. Please looking forward to more "Yoshi"

Lets see, for an archer, accessories give you +dex. Left side armor gives you +dex and +vit. And a weapon gives you +dex, +vit, and +damage. It's pretty easy to see why you should get the weapon first. The weapon will give you the same stat boosts as armor or accessory PLUS the boost in weapon damage.

Well Lucrezia's WAR was rocking melded jewelry, but I guess a top fc doing world first progression doesn't qualify as "top end pve"

Exactly. For a tank, the i150 crafted jewelry is easily 5x better than any option at the i190 accessory level. Maaaaybe not than the i210s...I saw the stats had a decent jump from i190 to i210. But you still can't have both STR and VIT on raid accessories so your gimping yourself either way removing crafted if they are melded well. Would I rather have an extra 30 VIT or an extra 150 STR? >.>

And for a tank progressing in savage raid, those i150 jewelries are amazing, almost unbeatable. I promise you i150 Slaying/Fending accessories sold, and sold well. On every server. I agree that there should be more things that are viable, though, and understand your point. Crafting in this game has always been a kind of high-end niche thing. Yes, anyone can do it...but not everyone wants to go through that.

This is why they make games with limited choices, if you give people choices a whole bunch will pick the wrong one.

This is amazing. +1


I'm getting my DRK weapon first, then I'll be getting the body.

I'm going to save all mine until I'm capped on the 2,000 we can hold right now, then decide, but it probably won't be the weapon

And this is the type of person I've been aiming to hear from. You have your Hive weapon, but only have a 180 body (loaded with acc at that). Would you mind going a bit into your reasoning?

DRK tome body is also loaded with accuracy~ But maybe he wants to deal a bit more damage rather than gain a few more vit and ~80 defense? Or maybe he thinks it looks awesome? o:

Saving for weapon and then chest piece after that as the Alex chest piece is kind of crappy for MCH.

I'm a healer (all three healers are currently i186 with Ravana weapons), so my first purchase will be AST body, then gloves, hat, shoes and finally legs. I will be also be getting the i190 healer belt from A1 and the body from A4 (for my WHM and SCH). So, I think I'm in a pretty decent place.
