Confused with build.

When I ask how should I build my skill level, I always get the answer that you should build according to your equipment. It's true but I don't get how you do that.

Like...which item do i build around? And do I have to use math to equally figure it out?

Is there like a pattern for a build like +4 Mag and +1 Str?

    you look at the next nice piece of equipment you CAN'T use (cuz of lvl requirements), and pull stats accordingly till you get that lvl..
    correct me if I'm wrong..

    No, that's pretty much it with the addition that it's gear you are looking to use that fits what you are intending to do.

    You don't need to actually have the gear, but you do need to work towards being able to use it when you get to the point of upgrading your gear. It's possible to skip upgrading your gear for a long time, but you should always have the ability to use any upgrades that fit the build you are using.

    I think he was asking, then how are you able to know what stats you will need, in which case you can check the basic gear at the blacksmith/tailor or on the Auction it will say the stats needed.

    this guide is confusing to new players. many do get confused to the lvl+4 ect.

    for heavy armor you need 2.5 str and .5 dex per lvl(basicly every 2 lvls 5 str 1 dex).
    for light armor its 1 dex and 1 str per lvl.

    for arcane im not quite sure but you need 2 mag and .5 str a lvl (4 mag and 1 str every 2 lvls.)[keep in mind im not really sure how much mag is needed.]

    thats for armor. as for weps you may need to add more per lvl. now if your going pure caster and is focusing 9 mag and 1 str every 2 lvls you wont have any difficulty equipping weps.

    I was new at one point and didnt find it the least bit confusing, what could be confusing about adding 4 to your level? Imo what you just stated made it more confusing(though I still understood it) lol.. different minds I suppose. I just posted the link under the assumption he/she didnt even look at the thread at all though.

    Well...I was just confused on this part.

    1: Robes

    STR = (Your level + 8) / 2

    Does that mean I'm supposed to like divide by 2... -_-

    there my point has been validaded obsessed. some people do not understand everything like others will. better making it universal and player friendly by just explaining how much skill points are to be allocated per each lvl than do somthing more complex. you may understand it, i may understand it , but that doesnt mean everyone will.

    Ah, I didnt mean you were wrong. Different minds think different ways, was just pointing out why I posted the link.

    It basically means 1 STR every two levels.
