Blacksmith Basics--Lvl125 Cap

Reset book won't reset it but there's a special orb item that can.

For leveling use blade skills and 2H sword to level farming mobs, bosses or mini bosses.

Use the character to farm the items to level and craft THS in order from lowest to highest advancing to the next one when you are able.

p.s I didn't mention the 3 stat setup with Agi main that my guild mate Laxus did because I don't think it's wise to fixate on one specific stat even if it is the one most commonly used.

 

Ty!

Ah sorry, I should have formulated my last question more precise, if I were to stay with the Katana as the Halberd BS and reset stats and skills and redo them for crafting high pot Halberd Weaponry, how would I get Difficulty up? In game, one said that 1 proficiency level would give me 1 Difficulty level, hence I wouldn't need a second character and could use my Katana (even though he is not tech) is that true? Could I make a full-fledged Halberd BS from my Katana? And how exactly does tech increase the success rate of crafts, if the right stats make high pot and slots are purely RNG?

Sorry for all the questions ( x-x), but I feel the need to really dive in the matter and I think the guide, while great as an introduction, let many details open.

 

Yes, you can use your katana character if it's already been crafting katanas using the bs skill as the basis for your halberd crafter, make it a full fledged halberd bs and raise the bs proficiency level accordingly just need to reset the stats.Tec increases success rate and gives 1 difficulty per 2 Tec while 6 Dex gives 1 difficulty as well and 1 bs prof level gives 1 difficulty however I'm not sure exactly how much it increases success rate an number of slots is pure rng there is no stat that affects it.

 

Hi I have a bs dex / str and I do not know where to put the skills that advance ... Do you have any advice? Such as doing with 2h or 1 h for stun or bow? I would like advice since I do not know all the skills... Tnx for help

 

Binding Strike(2H) or Shield Bash(1H+shield) would be the Stun type skills for 2H or 1H. As for bow it may be more beneficial for leveling if you got Moeba shot, Smoke dust(only need 1 point in it for combo and inflicting blind) and Snipe for damage instead of using it to stun. Look at bow or sniper threads for more info on what skills are used for combo ^^

 

Why +95str? Why not choose tech?

 

Tech does nothing for potential but 20 str and 20 dex each give 1 potential for bow is why Aya used str not tech as the example for potential calculation.

 

Does it affect bg too?
Bow/Bg/ and?

Hmm its optional? Can we still pick tech?

 

I asked for advice because I already have a sniper ... You can not choose whether to have a bs always with bow or put on 2h or 1h

 

Actually you can if your Sniper uses Dex/Str build then just learn bs skill anvils, create equipment and careful creation by doing so you are now a pure bow bs who just has to raise prof the hard way because you aren't using Tec but bow users can not stun.

p.s. the sniper/bs in question can also craft high potential 1H swords.

 

Yes yes I know, but I said I already have a sniper, make another sniper / bs seemed useless

 

Ok, well your question was confusing to begin with cause you asked specifically about stun and just said skills that advance but didn't say anything about bs. You can make your current Sniper a bs if you have at least 35 unused skill points by putting 5 points in refine, 10 in both creation skills and 10 in the first anvil skill.

 

So, I apologize that I was not clear ... I have 2 character 1 sniper and 1 bs ... In the bs I do not know whether to make it a second sniper or with sword to get stun ...

 

For stun make it sword, knuckles or Staff+Shield. Since you already have a Sniper it'd be better to make your bs with sword to get stun in my opinion ^^

 

Shield Bash (1H + shield) right? ok, thank you very much and beyond what would you recommend?

 

Hey there — I have some questions about alternative roles for BS characters besides just smithing. I know that Vit BS characters can act as really good tanks, but what about others?

I want to make an Agi BS because I’m tired of buying knuckles from other people on the limited market (yes, my main is a brawler), but I want to get more utility out of it. I read in the thread that 240 Agi/ 40(?) Dex is also suitable for katana BS — will that still allow me to make 60pot knuckles, or will that be limited?

I’m still confused about stat allocations and what personal stat to invest in. It’s a dense topic. I also don’t know what skills to take for katana (if I go that route?) that would help with farming/combat/DPS (unless if it’s neutered by lack of dex). Any help would be appreciated!

 

Yep 1H+Shield with shield bash and shield cannon. As for the bs part you can go Str/Dex or full vit to tank ^^

You need 250 Agi for pot 60 knuckles currently, katana gets dmg from Dex and Str so with low dex and high agi you won't see very good dmg, I don't know what skills for Katana class cause I haven't used it, all bs can be used as a combat class version of what they craft but Tec personal stat makes raising proficiency easier and raises crafting success rate.

p.s. don't get mtl(exception of Vit bs used as tank) or luk(exception of Int bs since it would be used for farming as well) personal stat for bs it does nothing for crafting but crt personal stat is okay for higher damage however Tec is better for any bs type.

 

Hi there,
was just wondering what stats should I go for if I were to be a Katana bs?
What minimum lvl character should I raise before creating any weapons?
Which skills in blacksmith skill tree would you reckon?

Many thanks in advanced!

 

Dex/Agi for Katana, level 100 for all bs skills available, both creation skills 10 points, 5 points in Refine and at least 10 points in the 1st anvil for 100 prof limit instead of it being stuck at 50 ^^

 

Thanks for your quick reply! ^.^
