What are the best gears/weapons to use per lvl for a Veno?

I see that there are a guide/stickies on other classes about this and just wanted to know if anyone can create one.

Thanks.

    C'mon.... no takers??

    Or maybe I should wait a bit for them to create it LoL b:chuckle

    But I do hope someone creates on. I have been using my weapon I got at lvl 30 and im at lvl 46 and still do not have a quest, or know how to get a higher lvl weapon... other than the ones you can make/buy from a blacksmith.

    So please anyone out there... i would really appreciate it.b:thanks

    impossible to answer, because you'd have to write a novel to cover all the possible builds and play styles. between HA, AA, and LA venos, fox form melee and human form caster, phys attack focus or -chan obsessiveness... there's probably as many ways to play veno as there are to play BM, except more of our builds are still popular and workable. (seen many sword BMs around lately? i rarely even see a polearm one...)

    besides, soon you'd realize that part of a veno's equipment are her pets... and the old "what's the best pet" question is just flamebait.

    how to find the best weapon? http://pwdatabase.com then browse for items -> weapons -> magical instruments. compare until you find one or two you like, then go looking for them on the auction house... or look at other venos in-game, see what they're carrying. level 43-59 i recommend a wheel of fate, if you can at all afford one. at 60, get the TT60 magicsword. now if you'll excuse me, i need to duck the flames from people who prefer wands and patakas...

    There isn't really a best weapon as it depends on your playing style. Although here are some weapon suggestions:

    Wands: Lunar Weapon/Lunar Nirvana
    ☆ Neon Purgatory > ☆☆ Immortal Indulgence - Nirvana > ☆☆ Foundation of World

    Magic Sword: Lunar Weapon/Lunar Nirvana
    ☆ Buddha's Leaf > ☆☆ Evanescence - Nirvana > ☆☆ Doom of Flowers - Universe


    Glaives: TT99
    ☆ Fate Denial: Godspeed

    Patakas: Rank VIII, lv. 97 Legendary Mold
    ☆☆ Pataka Of Melodic Prophecy, ☆ Midnight Black

    These are just some of the weapons available for endgame. Most venos choose Rank VIII (200k rep) or go Lunar.

    Edit: Didn't fully read first post so here's my suggestions.

    For your level range, ☆ Wheel of Fate is the best choice until lv. 60 where you can start using TT weapons such as ☆ Ancient Arbor. If you're lucky (and if you can afford it) ☆ Fine Pataka of Bodhi works well too until 70. I think you can obtain these molds through the new Divine Orders quest after BH I.

    Midnight Black is by far the least popular endgame weapon I've encountered. I bought one off AH by mistake. I'm lucky I only paid 50k for it.

    I tried to resell it for months in my catshop... no takers.

    I finally just decomposed it into mirages.
    101 Sage Sin*/Archer
    100 Demon BM*/Barb
    96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
    95 Demon Wiz/
    94 Sage Veno
    85 Psy/80 Mystic
    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

    Midnight Black works well as a weapon if you can't afford anything at that level. I've seen a lot of people use it when I do BH79/89.

    With +12 everything; vit stones would be stupid.

    What are you going to use that much defense for? Dragon Temple Raid?

    If the veno PK's, theyre getting plenty of defense from their ornaments at refines that ridiculous. -48% damage at that level from other players (unless theyre DOT stackers like some R8/9 archers I know) it's far more beneficial at damage mitigation than silly garnets.

    Going sage is like drunken sex, at first she may look good, but when you wake up the next morning; you'll look at her and go WHAT HAVE I DONE.

    With R9 +10 all and higher JoSDs r a pretty good choice if u mainly PvP. U r facing so many R9 opponents with decent att lvl then, so JoSDs work well to nullify as much of ur opponent's att lvl as possible. 32 def lvl > 1920 hp (compared to vit stones and only looking at the 4 R9 armor pieces).
    Garnets would be a waste as JoSD work much better and grand u defense vs magic attacks as well.
    DoTs would give u 16 more att lvl which is kinda negligible compared to the 93 u get by full R9 + Jones Blessing.

    So what do u prefer over JoSD? Imo JoSD r the best choice for PvP (and prolly also PvE).

    Awesome gears... however to Aniella why would you waste 2 extremely expensive slots on your gloves with shabby stones!!b:shocked

    Almost makes me think ur gear is not real and you just did it for kicks.... if it is real what on earth did you do/pay to get it?

    The last question goes for Astraea as well.

    And by the way those gears are rank 9 gear, right?

    Also how much does the def lvl +1 or vit lvl +1 etc give you? It seems that you use these more than the others that just gives you def +XXX amount.

    b:thanks

    Aniella's link is most certainly not her real gear; she's listed gear there that isn't even in the game.

    I figured so can any1 answer me these questions:

    1) Were the gears on Aniella's & Astraea rank 92?

    2) How much does the def lvl +1, attack lvl +1, etc give you?
    It seems that they are better than the shards with def +XXX , attack +XXX, etc amount.

    b:thanks
