Q:What weapon is good for a <insert your level> <insert your class here>
A:
- Look in a database. Mirandee's is here, Guild of Druid's is here, Silverwolf's online database here.
- By no means is this a comprehensive list but the basic GOOD weapons
Level 2: The weapon you start with (Skeletal hand costs 2-3million gold coins if you have another character already)
Level 5: Abyssal shadow (traffic for these as they come from a hometown and range from level 5-10ish excellent for mage/thief/vampire/augurer/fathomer)
Level 8-10: An oar (excellent for warrior/paladin/cleric/druid/barbarian), T-handled blade (slight upgrade from abyssal shadow)
After level 10, it is suggested all classes other than nephandi level DEVOUT. (explained later) It is assumed that your character is devout for the use of some of the following weapons (some may be usable evil/neutral) Also from here on, weapons will be sorted for genres for ease of use.
Sorcerer: Augurer, Mage, Nephandi
Divinity: Cleric
Rogue: Fathomer, Thief
Fighter: Paladin, Ranger, Warrior, Barbarian
Aberrant: Vampire
Shaman: Druid
I tend to treat divinity and shaman genre as one and the same as they use mostly the same eq.
Level 9-12: fishing pole cut from thick reed (Augurer/Nephandi Explore east side of ockwater fens)
Level 12: thin two handed sword (warrior/paladin ask on traffic)
Level 15: broadsword named "Aurora: (fighter genre. Explore The Ancient City of Aurora for one)
Level 18: Neptune's trident (scorcerer, divinity/shaman. Look on auction or ask on traffic. Warning low damage but good for stats)
Level 25: leatherworker's awl (thief/vampire Explore ocean keep)
Level 31: Amazon spear (Fighter/rogue/abberant should explore Tree of Life all others should seek on auction/traffic)
Level 32: Dragon's tooth knife (Fighter Explore Dragon Tower WITH DETECT INVIS/HIDE)
Level 40: Soulslayer (All except barbarian. Ask on traffic/look on auction)
Level 44: Spear of Athena (All other than druid/cleric/nephandi. Explore olympus with lots of heals.)
Note:Mirandee's database allows you to add and edit data as well as put in notes. Very useful. GoD's tends to be harder to add your own stuff as all it stores is values.
