Hello all. Every 2 levels I've put 8 into magic, 1 into vit and 1into strength. I've reached level 20 and don't have enough strength to wield the trial weapon(Pinata I think it is) that I recieved from the fb19 quest. Did I place my stats wrong. I have to wait until another 2 levels before I can use it? The level 20 weapon I got from the chest(Perfect Officers Magic Sword) is horrible compared to that trial weapon.

If I've done something wrong please help me fix it. I don't want to mess my stats up. I've been doing my stats like a friend has with hers. Thanks to those whome reply b:victory.

    what are your stats, exactly? if you've been adding 1str every odd level, you should be at 14 currently, and the pataka takes 15 to wield; i'd advise you to look for a +str piece of armor or ornament, or just wait for another level or two until you add one more stat point into str and solve things. the supply chest sword will last you that long --- and then the pataka will last you easily 15 levels more.

    Thanks for the quick reply. That's pretty much what I'm doing. Just wondering what that weapon looks like. Can't wait to find out. Ok back to grinding. Again I thank you. :)

    Stats are 14-Vit

    14-Str

    77-Mag

    05-Dex


    What I'm at right now.

    Looks good for a level 20 vit-arcane. On my AA veno, I didn't follow a set pattern like what most people recommend. Instead, I looked ahead at whichever weapon I wanted to upgrade to and put strength in only in the level right at the switch and right below if necessary. Everything else went into magic/vit.

    The two drawbacks- you really have to pay attention to when your weapons/armor switch and what the requirements are ahead of time. Also, fox form attacks are kinda pitiful.

    Advantages- stronger nukes and/or better life in between.

    Take this with a grain of salt though, I liked to level very slow, so the extra vit/mag benefitted me more during those in between levels. If you level faster, it won't make as much of a difference.

    I don't level as fast either. Sometimes I actually team up and help other's who are struggling on a quest. I team with alot of barbs who are new and unsure about the game mechanics. So I takem under my wing and show them the roaps of how to play there class properly and build there character correctly so they will not fail at the end game process. I see so many who do fail at end game and are unable to afford stat reset.

    So yeah I level really slow. I farm alot 2. Most of the time when I take a quest I'm 2-3 levels above it when I finally start doing the quests. lol Plus I let my pet fight and I farm. :)

    Its like sitting in a lawn chair with a remote control running your lawnmower and sipping tea at the same time. XD b:laughb:victory

    the beauty about pwi is that you have the option to set your stats the way you like it. don't be afraid to experiment a bit :P if you fail you can use the reset notes to correct the wrong :P

    my advice ... since you are a veno, and you use your pet as tank, until you get to a high lv and start pvp better put more magic and les vit, becouse if you are careful mobs/bosses will not hit you. After you get on a certain lv you can set your vit the way you like it. :)

    Looks like you're using a good build. Patakas naturally require more STR than the other magic weaps. Good for use in fox form. I would just find a ring or ornament with a STR boost so you can equip it.
    Take the time to look for your answer before you post like an idiot.
