Haven't been on for one year. Please help me update my brawler.

Hy guys,
I have a level 71 brawler.
Yesterday, I just started playing this game again after i left it about one year ago (Play it now since i have plenty of time).
So, after coming back I saw lots has changed the biggest thing i saw is the consignment board.. ouh gosh.. how very convenient compare to the old toram.
Okay..erm..my brawler now is 158 AGI, 25 Dex, 2 Crit (haha..*shy):
Equipment:
Minotaur knuckle fire element critical rate +10 dodge +2
storm dagger +7% crit rate +7% attack speed +7%
Forest wolf garb dodge +3 crit rate +3 aspd +100 forest wolf xtal
crystal earrings maxmp +300
speed talisman II max mp +300 agi +4

This is what i have on my brawler and i would like to change it but i just dont know what to change to but one thing i know the damage to the boss even for low level boss is too low, it felt weak. Therefore, oh great people of toram forum i seek for your help and guidance on what should i do.
After that I wiil progress with my main quest to defeat the ganglef (*shy.. i know im such a noob).
I have lots to catch up ooo..hhaha

 

Well first off. Welcome back. No need to be shy, we're all here to have fun afterall. So take a breathe and chill. Most people around here don't bite.

So let's get you caught up.

Your stats are fine. Most Brawlers are going for 255 AGI and then adding stats into DEX or CRT. They work pretty well for the most part, but there are alternative stat builds as well. I recommend sticking to the full AGI route for now though. As it works for most encounters. You may also want to bump your DEX up to around 40 and use accuracy potions before you level 90. Just a suggestion there.

Once you've obtained all the emblems your missing from being absent, you'll find yourself with a hefty power increase in terms of stats. So get caught up on those.

Next up, your gear. It's basic. So i'm going to assume your funding is low.

If you want a nice boost to your strength I recommend getting a new weapon first or refining your Minotaur Knuckles to +5 or so. A few pretty easily obtainable weapons would be the Tri Claw, Katar, and Jahamadar. If you can kill Hanged Mummies or have a friend that can spend 10 minutes storming them, get the Tri Claws. They are a great starting knuckle. The Katar will be slightly more difficult, but are the easiest to obtain "high level" knuckles. If you're confident in killing Skeletons at Fort Solfini, do this. They have a high drop rate as well. If your not confident in either, your last bet would be Jahamadars from Lion Fish in Ooze's cave. Remember to refine them if only a little bit.


Storm dagger is fine.

Forest Wolf Garb is fine for now. It should be replaced, but don't put to much priority in it. You'll want to replace it once you can get your hands on B.B. Garb, or a player made armor with stats on it.

Add Gear wise, Crystal Earring will work alright for now. If you're using Minotaur knuckles, you may as well pick up a War Helmet for cheap on the consignment board and abuse that additional critical rate. There aren't to many desirable headgears past that.

Your speed ring is also fine. Get a potum talisman if you feel the need.

Ideal gear to aim for after you're a bit more funded would be close to this.

Weapon: Ice Claw Snow [Player made]: Agi +7%, Crt +12, Crt% +12, Cdmg +12. (You can have a lot of variation depending on build here.)

or

Katar [Blacksmith made or Skeleton Dropped.]

Armor: B.B. Garb or Player made armor with: Agi +7%, Crt +12, Crt% +12, ect.
Head Gear: Gothic Hat: [+15 CRT]
Accessory: Speed Talisman III, Potum Talisman, or Time Warp Watch.

You'll figure out the crystals you'll want i'm sure. For now though, just use MP +100, AGI, HP, or CRT crystals until you can afford better ones. Forest Wolf Crystal is also fine btw.

 

Thank you so much! This is exactly what i want to know. With this knowledge now i can focus what i need to do.

 

Hello there fellow brawler, looking at your current gear I recommend that you go for this path..

^_^

 

You'll want to follow that post RyeUshio posted as well. The dodgeevasion brawler is one a very nice build. Not my cup of tea, but it's very solid.

 

Hy again!
Now, my brawler is lv 100 with 219 AGI, 37 CRT, and 2 DEX. The rest of level up stat points i will put it into AGI.
So far, I'm unable to afford the player made wep cause i was busy farming NC quest from lefina (ofc after running here and there asking how to get inside the tomb) but luckily I have one xtal to spare which earn me appreciable good amount nevertheless still not enough, so here goes my equip:
- Katar +3: Short range damage +4%, Eva rate +7%, physical pierce +10% (running like mad woman in the fort solfini trying to stay alive.. haha good time)
- I keep the storm dagger.
- Killer coat +5 (player made): Dex +7%, Crit rate +10, Crit rate +10%, Crit dmg +10 with one xtal slot. (BB garb is so difficult to obtain even after i used traveller gems, grand pojo xtal and mining bag, haish luck is not on my side)
- Cat tail +3: Stability +3%, AGI +3%, Dex +3%, Dodge +15%, Accuracy +15% (been thinking to get the gothic hat too so i switch in between)
- Potum talisman: MaxMP +300, DODGE +12%, ONE SLOT xtal
Try to solo boss like bb goblin haha.. enough said It took quite a while to defeat it with lots health potion consumed.
Nevertheless i bully the other bosses until they spit xtal.
So, this week will be focusing on making spina since I dont understand how stating player made weapon works so i will be spending spina instead.
For making spina, there are lots of guide how but so far i guess hunting boss for their xtal seems profitable. Let's get breaking *crack knuckle.
Again, thank you for the help in the beginning )

 

Well first off. Welcome back and congradulations getting to 100. Glad to see you've been working hard and have made a lot of progress to boot.

So let's hatch out where you should head to next. I won't get into stats since it seems like you've found your path there. So we'll begin with equipment.

Weapon: Since you're an appropriate level now. You may want to head over to the Garden of Beginning (buy a port off consignment board) and hunt the ingrediants for the smith made Katar. It'll hold you over until you can afford some player made knuckles. Your build doesn't need player made one's direly since it isn't focused on 100% crit, but you'll find them helpful for more DPS nontheless.

Also, did not expect a crazy run through for skeletons. My bad, however, it did get dome laughs, so i'm not totally sorry. c:

Sub weapon: You maaaay want to look into the Bush Knife, Army Knife, and Lightweight Knife. They'll help a bit in various situations. Bush Knife especially to stack more physical pierce with Katars.

Armor: That DEX on your armor is making me cringe, but it has the more important pirpose of raising your crit rate. So that's fine for now. Just like...sell one day. For me? So I can sleep at night. Puhleeze?

The B.B Garb is going to take a bit. Get some friends, lackeys, ex bae's, minions, mercenarian types, or random people also hunting B.B Garb to hunt with you. It makes the process muuuuch faster. It's also pretty worthwhile for the armor itself. I will admit that it takes awhile however. RNGesus is on nobodies side for that garb.

Add Gear: Woman with Cat tail. Check. Yes definately go for the Gothic Hat next. It is surprisingly less annoying to make then the Cat Tail.

Potum Talisman: Good good. Now for Time Warp Watch. Slotted or go home.

As you get stronger (REFINE YOUR STUFF) you'll find it'll get easier to solo B.B Gob, he still has a good chunk of HP though.

You shouldn't worry about statting gear until you've actually got to a point where you want to invest in making a level 110 ~ 120 tec blacksmith and have found it within yourself to farm countless hours for magic materials. It's like NC farm, but slightly less soul crushing. So until you're up for that just hunt bosses for now. Roga, Mino, TD, or any other lucrative boss will serve you well until you're ready for that next step.

Alright. I got to get going. Take care and have fun!

 

Plenty of time to spare and i was boring so why not..hehe

The DEX on my armor..=.=' i just realised it after reading your post for countless times. Now, that i know i will sell it as soon as i found a better armor. I bought it in the first place because i like the crit on it but totally blind to dex stat in there.. haha no wonder it was cheap. Ironically, the armor look like BB garb but its name is killer coat so this is as close as i can get to BB garb.. haha.

Cat tail because it fits perfectly with my character theme as a wild brawler. No shoes, bandages as my shirt, whisker tattoo on my face, and unsheathed Katar behind my back.. no wonder she needed all the bandages on her body. As wild as she looks like, she wears long pants. If I'm feeling fancy in the battle i wear gothic hat.

Thanks for the constructive comments @screamingfox. )
