1 Hand and shield

Thanatos · 07-14-2008, 04:54 PM

Hi , I've never played fiesta [downloading client] and i was acknowledging the different Builds stats and guides.
Then i decided to be 1 handed and use a sword with a 2 str and 1 End build
So my questions are :
Is a sword and a shield good for 2str and 1 end ?
Will y be able to tank some how[please tell the problems i could have] , and what are the problems i would encounter with the build i use ?
Then last what is better for me , Creating scrolls or Creating potions.

Thanks for your help ^^

PS : This is my first post , who normally should be in newbie zone but i don't have any interesting things to say about me ^^

Well END gives shield block percentage, albiet a small amount, and the only way to use that is with a shield. Although you might want to go pure END instead of a hybrid build.

Here is some info about your build when you cap(level 79):

Code:

Strength: 63
Dexterity: 0
Endurance: 31
Intellegence: 0
Spirit: 0

Damage: 75
Defense: 15.5
Aim: 0%
Evasion: 0%
Magic Damage: 0
Magic Defense: 0
Critical Rate: 0%
Block Rate: 3.1%
Maximum Health: 155
Maximum Mana: 0

A pure STR build:

Code:

Strength: 94
Dexterity: 0
Endurance: 0
Intellegence: 0
Spirit: 0

Damage: 112
Defense: 0
Aim: 0%
Evasion: 0%
Magic Damage: 0
Magic Defense: 0
Critical Rate: 0%
Block Rate: 0%
Maximum Health: 0
Maximum Mana: 0

A pure END build:

Code:

Strength: 0
Dexterity: 0
Endurance: 94
Intellegence: 0
Spirit: 0

Damage: 0
Defense: 47
Aim: 0%
Evasion: 0%
Magic Damage: 0
Magic Defense: 0
Critical Rate: 0%
Block Rate: 7.2%
Maximum Health: 470
Maximum Mana: 0

And finally a 2:1 END STR, your build reversed:

Code:

Strength: 31
Dexterity: 0
Endurance: 63
Intellegence: 0
Spirit: 0

Damage: 37
Defense: 31.5
Aim: 0%
Evasion: 0%
Magic Damage: 0
Magic Defense: 0
Critical Rate: 0%
Block Rate: 5.65%
Maximum Health: 315
Maximum Mana: 0

I guess. It might be better though to go 2 End : 1 Str first until you've added 50 points to End so you hit the benefit cap. Then put rest in Str.

You'll kill slow. Slow as hell if you dedicate yourself only to 1-hand. Always carry both your 1-hand and shield combo and an axe, for when you need to alternate between taking and dealing damage. Shoudn't have any problems tanking really.

More practical benefit/ profit potential from scrolls I guess. Pots drop like mad in the Abyss. Though you could still sellT2+ HP and SP stones. Scrolls though are the hot money-maker and the extra buffing is always useful.

Ok thanks , but if i use an axe , wouldn't my build not be convinient to use it with ?
T2 ? what is that ?

**Ivramire** · 07-14-2008, 05:46 PM

T2 = Tier 2 pots, heal more than Tier 1 but higer lvl requirement.

Axe should be had no matter your build, End/Str build is decent enough with it.

**ThievingSix** · 07-14-2008, 05:52 PM

Although you won't be able to use the END fully without a shield.

Thanatos · 07-14-2008, 05:57 PM

So ok , 2 End 1 Str an Axe for grinding and 1 handed sword and a shield when tanking a boss ?
But i think Tanking is only useful when bossing ? or in this game there is another use for it

T2 can also refer to the enhancement tier requirement.
It can refer to Tier 2 enhancing stones such as Elrue [2], Lix [2] and Xir [2]
also~ Some people say T2 weapon enhancement. It means enhancing Level 2 Weapons.
When a weapon is level 2 (from level 30~50) You need to use T2 stones to enhance them.

However! You need to beware. ITEMS DO BREAK
The higher the level it is the higher the chance of breaking will be.
- T1 is usually easy to enhance (but once its over +4 It has a higher chance of breaking)
- T2 gets harder but the stones aren't as costy as T3
- T3. Whoa. Good luck on getting +9 without Eyes or Miles >_<"

Note: Eyes and miles are from Sparkcash shop. You need real money to buy them

Reminder: Take care of scammers. some people might say they will enhance your items for free. But once you hand over your item its your responsibility. If he runs off with it you can't get it back. There are rules put in place now for scamming. Basically Fiesta just decided to ban enhancement services... So you can't advertise "Selling enahancement services." However, from what I know of, you can still get other to enhance for you (if your willing to trust them with your items.)

Ah~! One more thing!
T2 can also refer to Scrolls ^^;
T2 scrolls are usually for levels 20 (From what I remember)
If you don't already know you can produce your own scrolls.
But you need the scroll production.
Once you have the production skills (all T1 production skills are obtainable from Skill Master Ruby in Rumen, close to the big stairway) and the ingredients listed you can start making SCROLLS!

Note: Vitality T2 production scrolls, Speed T2 production scrolls and Shield T2 production scrolls are not buyable! You need to find them in the Abyss on monsters that look like characters~
Abyss can be found in Elderine. Just press 'M' a map will appear and you can hover your mouse above each NPC to find "Battle Field Guard".
Abyss can start from lv 20 all the way to level 79.

Recommendation: I recommend you go to abyss at level 20 =] You can find Slime Jelly (Low quality). Those sell for quite a bit. Because higher levels use them for Speed sroll productions.
They need ALOT!

Note: You can find the T2 production scrolls from lv 30~39 Abyss

Level 40~49 Abyss is GREAT for money~ Not only can you find a heap of greens but you can also find Legendary and Heavenly necklace and Rings.

Those sell for quite a bit. So don't be scammed!
(Selling price around 1g+ depending on your server and also on the item)

Hope I've helped you somebit~
Sorry for the excessive information >_<:
I always go overboard since in Rumen there are alot of beggers..
The money is so easy to flow in once you know how to get them~
Anyways i'll help answer any FAQ you might have

**ThievingSix** · 07-15-2008, 06:44 AM

I never get more than basic, basic drops rarely from 4X abyss...
