Greetings

Hello this is Fluffles, I hope to get along with everyone here.

I have some doubts to clear below and am in need of advice.

I read that the best way to level and earn Spina is by killing Goblins in the Ruined Temple by doing the Small Articles in the Temple quest and selling off Torn Cloths and Nicked Blades to the NPC Merchant; is this correct?

I'm a Brawler and reading several guides here, currently I have the below skill build:
Lv1 Martial
5 Smash
5 Bash
5 Sonic Wave
10 Martial Mastery
10 Aggravate
Lv2 Martial
4 Shell Break
10 Earth Bind

Am I doing it right? My next plan is to max Sonic Wave; I don't really use Shell Break at all because I do not have the MP to support it. (I have like 400 MP)
I prefer to save MP to flinch and tumble the bosses instead - maybe I should max Smash and Sonic Wave instead?

I also read from Faust's guide that I should invest some points in the Lv1 Guard skills for Light Armor Mastery and Lv2 Survival skills for the HP Boost, and I am thinking of doing so since I find my survivability to be very lacking but I am sorely lacking skill points for that. What does everyone else think?

Also, I accidentally wasted 1 skill point on the Lv1 Battle skills which was a bad idea.
Do I have to waste the Book of Oblivion given to me after playing 22 hours in total?

In terms of equips, I don't know what crystals to use (what's the term?) on them.
I'm thinking HP or MP to be the most useful but so far I've gotten only a single +100 HP crystal from the Emblem reward; do MP crystals exist?
And is it worth splurging on a Crystal Earring? (how much do these go for atm?) I don't have the budget for it but I can continue farming to buy it.
I am currently sporting Minotaur Knuckles, Forest Wolf Garb (and occasionally the Straye Garb), Potum Hat (maybe to be replaced by Crystal Earrings) and that ring equip given to us when completing the Story Quest of killing the Dragon that I can't seem to remember for some reason.
Anything I can improve on?

Also I'm confused as to what armor remodeling by the Blacksmith does?
I am thinking that it just increases the defense or evasion based on heavy or light remodeling respectively, and if you have the corresponding mastery you gain bonuses specific to the remodeled armor you are wearing, correct?
Should I do it to my current armor? (also out of my budget which is why I'm asking)

Once again, nice to meet everyone here.

 

Whoa lol
welcome to forums
yes goblins correct

Your stats and skills seem fine

Armor skills is up to you I dont use as I dont get hit allot by monsters

Remodel is major change in arnor I suggest light it effects dodge

Yes hp and mp xtals exist
flame roars in ruined temple drop hp 100 xtals and raffy drop 50 mp xtal

Magician ring helps with mp and by 1000 mp but also makes attack less
I use survival tree for mp and hp and regan speed
I suggest use survival tree helps so much

 

Well, welcome! also I was never a brawler so I don't know much but. Yes you do get a Skill Reset Book on a specific total time played. And yes that's the best way for both Leveling and Farming spina. (Goblins! ) Btw the armor remodel is just for looks/a bit improvement on your survivalbility as for brawler I would recommend the Light version for faster Asped and more dodge rate, unless you wanna tank some dmg then go with heavy to increase def but less Atk speed & Dodge rate. Same follows Light armor (less def)

 

Yes go with the Magician Ring. Cuz brawler isn't a DPS class, so the best thing to do for your party is to have high mp to break.

 

Hello, June and Kiwi. Thank you for reading.

Seems like I will be seeing more of the goblins. Hehe.

Magician Ring was it? I'll look into it.

I guess I will be light remodeling my armor.

 

Actually survival tree is enough in my opinion
Most brawler skills use low mp

 

@June
So you mean I don't need the Guard skill tree? I just use the Survival skill tree for the HP boost?

or did you mean I don't need MP crystals after getting the Magician Ring?

or did you mean I level up the MP Boost in the Survival skill tree?

I am also lacking in skill points maybe I should have planned this better.

 

Your fine sir
its more up to you

These are basics for brawler below

Use agil
Light armor model from blacksmith (of your choice suggested is wolf garb)
Use knuckles (I prefer dusty for mp regan by hit)
Use magician ring (I dont I use survival tree for mp points)

You get more stats and skill points as you play and level and complete emblem

 

Dont waste skill points on mp. Use Crystal Earring (300 Mp) and Magician Ring (1000 Mp) and you should be set. I would kinda recommend 1-2 point in charge cuz the massive mp needed to replenish

 

@Kiwi
By charge do you mean the MP Recharge skill from the Lv1 Magic skill tree?

I really appreciate the advice.

 

Yes. Brawlers don't need to do massive dmg, neither they should use extra SP for MP so just go with the ring.

 

Welcome to the forum. Your skills are so messed up. Like srsly. Do the things i told u to do in my guide. U wont regret it. Also dont get hp regen thats such a waste. Get hp boost for that extra 1k hp and u wont die against anything. Anyway get 5 points into the battle mp regen skill. Gotta add that to my guide. Get a sofya talisman thingy from the Brutal Dragon quest. Its the main story quest. And use it 300mp with no penalty get a straye garb and make it into a light version. Gives 100hp 100mp and get some crystal earrings. They give 300mp i think? So yeah. Then get the combo function and put your combo like this. Whats that first brawler skill called? Bash? The one which breaks boss parts. Bash>Sonic Wave>Shell smash or break whatever its called. Lol sorry for this havent played toram for awhile. Since no new content and its so boring right now when u have evrything already. Anyway put evry skill onto consecutive and u will be using 200mp per combo. Which u regenerate in 5-10 seconds anyway. Hope this helped.

 

Thank you the detailed reply.

As for the Straye Garb do I need to try and get a slotted one before remodelling it? Mine isn't slotted.

Also don't I need to level up both the Safe Rest (HP regen skill) and Short Rest (MP regen skill) to 5 before I am able to skill up both HP Boost and Sober Analysis (Battle MP regen skill). Do I max Sober Analysis too?

The first brawler skill is Smash. What is this combo function you speak of? Is it the Shortcuts function under settings where we set hotkeys for skills/items etc?

 

Its near your skill trees i think. And read my updated brawler guide. Tells u all the skills u need to get. Btw u need 10 different skills at least 1 skill point in 10 different skills to get the combo function from a emblem.

 

Okay I'll check it out thank you.

 

And i dont think u can get a slotted straye garb. They all un-slotted i think.
