120k SK Twink

[loneless999]

if you had 120k to twink an SK what would you buy for each slot

troll or ogre have not decided yet

[Tecmos Deception]

Fungi, fbss, deathbringer's rod, 5/55 rings, hooded black cloak, and whatever you see for sale in EC for the other slots that's less than 1k and has AC, HP, and/or MR on it. Circlet of shadows.

Probably save enough for either jboots (or sow pots until you can camp your own jboots).


Pretty sure you can do that for under 120k.

ebon mace
atramentous shield
tanky armor (some darkforge is nice, some bloodforge is nice)
circlet of shadow

maybe some int JC'd items if you're going ogre?

My overall advice would be not to blow 120k on a SK twink, you do fine as a tank with snap aggro on disease cloud / shadow vortex.

If you want to solo, it's probably better to spend the money getting the gear above and then getting PL'ed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

120k on a twink....jesus.

PS - the hybrid penalty doesn't disappear on launch night, if this is a "for Velious" thing.

Fungi, hiero, junk items the rest of the way.

[Tecmos Deception]

If you have more, two WC caps and some root nets, and save a few k more for when you hit 50 and need to buy puppet string charges for an OT hammer.

Ebon mace + atramentous shield is a much better weapon set than deathbringer rod, but much more expensive.

I don't know prices too exactly to know what you can manage on 120k.

Hey, another person who'll put a bunch of nice things on his twink tank and probably just quit by the low 50's anyway. SK's are probably the single most common class I see being stripped and parted out in East Commons. If you don't like a hybrid tank for 20K, you aren't going to like it for 120K.

If you're determined to repeat the same mistake so many other folks have made, you'll want a fungi and as much haste as you can squeeze out, though you'll probably have to tolerate a Flowing Black Silk Sash or Sash of the Dragonborn just due to budget limits. Those two things will actually take up the majority of your budget. Ebon mace plus Atramentous shield are good suggestions for weapons. You want a Circlet of Shadow, and at that budget there's no reason not to get Jboots. Depending on what race you are, cultural armor may be looking at. Other than that, once you have the specific items mentioned just fill out the rest of the slots with the usual type of equipment (Darkforge, Blood Ember, etc) You might be able to snag a Blood Ember BP for 20K or so and stay within your budget, although I wouldn't suggest it--if you want the buff, get a Stave of Shielding for 1/10 the cost.

EDIT: Actually there IS a reason not to get Jboots. When you get bored of the SK and decide to sell off its stuff you can't sell them. Perhaps stick to Sow potions until you reach level 55 minimum.

Thats probably because people realize that they are 100% useless endgame. At least for now.

I love SKs and mained one on live but yeah, warrior all the way.

[Tecmos Deception]

Nothing is useless endgame. Some things are a better fit in a raid than others, but no one will tell a SK played by a friend/guildie "sorry bro, roll a warrior/rogue/cleric if you want to come on raids with us."

120K on a Tank is just chump change to be honest. That is a Fungi and not even a CoF which you NEED when you have a Fungi to counteract the - Dex, Agi. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So go bigger or go home as they say. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] In a group no one cares what you have other than Raids. And a SK is not going to be the MT in one anyways. Solo well yeah, good stuff helps, but 50 to 60 solo on a SK is worse than a sharp stick in the eye, I don't care what gear you have.

Great gear is WAY overrated to great player skill on here. Get smarter not richer, but you seem to get richer the smarter you are for some odd reason,phht.
