Hello i started this game yesterday and im playing a BM. I have tried to read in forum alot and i dont understand it all.

Here is what im doing now and will stay on it for higher lvl when i will do a restat change.

lvl 1 - 20= 3str 1dex 1vit

lvl 21-70 = 3str 2dex

lvl 71-90 = 2str 2dex 1vit

lvl 90-99 = 3str 2dex.

Im a Axes player but will start use Fist/claw at high lvl soo im going all Axes to lvl 99.
My problem is that i dont know what skill to lvl up? From lvl 1- 99. Im Only intressed in PVE because i dont like PVP at all never done. Im also useing Heavy Armor only.

Would like to know what skill i should put points in and i dont want to waste in placeing in skill that are useless/doesnt help me pve.

Any kind of help would be lovely. Please tell what skills to get and why. Or link a page were there is a skill build that foreiger can understand. ( My english isnt the best).

Thanks in forhand for the help.

I used this in the start http://pwi-wiki.perfectworld.com/index.php/Lyndura%27s_Blademaster_Class_Guide.

Later once i understood the game better i used this http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=766822

Do you intent to power lvl the bm from 1 to 99? Or plan on playing through the lvls? Using axes only until 99 will be quite harsh and a huge mana drain (assuming you keep on using aoe skills).

Im not planing to power lvl. As this is my first char im going to take it slow and lvl normal. You say its harsh to use axe only, any tips? like any fist/claw weapon or other weapon and if can i go same stats and do i have to change anything skill wise?

Thanks for the pages. I have read both of them before but still would me nice to see like " This skill is a must MAX out" or " This skill is in no use just a filler lvl 1 only" if you understand what i mean. Also im playing with a friend that started same day like me and he is a cleric, think its a good combo to lvl up togther.

* If i put out points in skill, if i put it wrong does that mean i will have less skill or can i get all skills?

Thoose 2 pages you gave me is that for pve? I dont want any skill that are meant to use pvp

If you are going with a cleric friend, the buffs will help with MP issues. I found that i liked to aoe mobs. Gather 2~6 and kill them in one go, rather than killing each one individually. I went solo, so i had to meditate after each kill or use mp pots often (they ran out often enough for me).

Until lvl 70 i went 3 str 1 dex 1 vit. I only used axes until lvl 70, mobs took long to kill with axes only, attacking one mob only. A friend said try out fists, so i got the reset note and reset my points to such that they came out 3str 2 dex every lvl. My hp dropped, but in return i got chi back quickly and i killed faster. I could use diamond sutra, which i never did before.

In squads i had lvl 1 skills for most things b:avoid. No one noticed b:pleased. When i learnt about Bounty hunter quests, i stopped lvling my skills and stopped putting stat points. I only put enough str and dex that the armour/weapon asked for. Most of the time i had 50~100 points sitting there. Even now i have 60 points that are not assigned. Different people have different ways of doing their stats.

I farmed the mats for my own gear mostly and i made it myself while lvling my tailor, blacksmith, craftsman and apoc skills. Inventory space might be an issue if you don't have extended inventory. I created alts to transfer the items to, opened up lots of space. I picked up every drop and coins. By lvl 40 i had 1~2m, by lvl 60 i had 5m. To make money faster, merchanting will help, that is another beast for another time.

At the end of the day, i would like to learn all my skills at demon lvl. In the beginning i only maxed my bell. All other skills were lvl 1. I only lvled some aoe skills to lvl 2~5 depending on their use (mp cost goes up with the lvl). Shadowless kick was a blessing, lvl 1 suffices until end game. You need to have enough spirit to learn the skills. Spirit is earned from killing mobs, quests, using items. In the beginning it might be hard, but later on you get more than enough spirit to learn all your skills to the max if you wish.

If you are playing with a cleric, it will be easier to play, so you can leave the decisions of skills, points distribution, armour, weapon until later. Do not put any points in magic though.

I don't do pvp, so can't help there, but if you do pve and learn to use your skills properly and see how they work, with some practise you'll be able to do pvp as well. After you become good at pvp, the only thing holding you back would be gear+luck.

In other words, just play the game, have fun, don't worry about putting points, just learn the skills you want (lvl 1 only) and see if you like it. When the time comes, those guides will answer your question. Don't worry about sparks, once you do your cultivation quests, you will get your sparks and life will become more fun as you use sparks.

Thanks. I will go with 1 point each skill and figure out what nice to use and not. Will even go with other weapon when killing 1v1 mobs.

Oh, i didn't lvl any sword skills btw, nor my pole skills except Glacial Spike (used for some bosses i fight). I will try out the sword skills when i get the books for them.

That's actually a pretty good stat distribution. To use axes and fists (or to optimize damage for axes or fists) its 3 str and 2 dex per level. If you don't have that, you can get a current weapon a couple levels later. 19-20 vit is coverable by gear that has +stat adds pretty easily. At level 70 you get your Calamity Axes and those are your best axes till 90+ when you farm calloused lionhearts. This means once you have the strength to use level 70 axes that having 3 strength a level becomes less a priority until 20+ levels later, so you can go 2/1/1 again for a bit. That being said, make sure you get enough + stat adds for the axes you want to use after level 90. Most BMs will get their level 99 aps gear, refine it, and as it covers their hp restat out all vitality down to 3 anyways for endgame. After all 40 vitality is only 600 hp and not a huge difference, but killing mobs before they get that last hit could save you more than 600 damage.



As for skills Ecatomb can help. Seeing as how you are an axe only user the its basically the "axe tree", Golden Bell, Roar of the Pride, Drake Sweep, Cloud Sprint, and Aeolian Blade you'll max first. Leave Diamond Sutra at level 1 since the bulk of the heal is from the 20%, which is the same level 1-10 and it doesn't become much more effective as you level it, just more mana costs. I'd also leave magic marrow at levels 5-7 and physical marrow at level 1-3 because the higher level it is the more dangerous it becomes to misuse, so having a couple levels in it will help but won't get you killed.

I personally went axes levels 1-30, then fists as my main weapon (although I used all weapons) 29+. The reason is even though fists don't really kill faster until you get multiple pieces of -int gear, they are much cheaper to use. Axes require a ton of mana, where fists require almost nothing. Fists will give you plenty of chi and your questing becomes more about getting a spark, using it (getting a heal from it)_and using diamond sutra every 5-6 mobs, an mp pot after 5-6 sutras. Cyclone heel is the only fist skill you should level, with shadowless kick at level 1. I'd also carry a pole to use the skills Farstrike (a ranged skill) and Meteor Strike, a knockback aoe.
