    Default Need a warrior endgame guide

    Good day guys,

    I’am a returning player who has been playing since 2013. I was absent from the game for a period of 6+ years due to commitments and education irl.

    Upon reaching endgame again I have been bombarded with various suggestions on equipments and builds which have only ended up confusing me even more.

    I have used a recent thread on the meta for warrior endgame equipments as a reference but I have to unfortunately admit that I do not possess enough gold or the motivation to spend endless real life currency on the game. However, Iam extremely thankful to the person who took his/her time to explain the meta in that thread. It did bring some clarity to my mind.

    The current situation that Iam in poses me with several doubts. I must admit that I’am in dire beed of help.

    Q1) If I have an amount of ~300mil gold what is the best equipment I should go for? The major thing that I want to do is kill bosses like eraha or hedo (I do not want to solo, just want to be decently helpful in teams)

    Q2) Is there a need for Krak sword if Iam able to buy the sb chainsword? I read the description of both the weapons and sb chain also has the 75% armor debuff and I feel the krak sword offers nothing extra.

    Q3) Is procing just krak armor and switching to sb chain with 3/3 sb a viable option against bosses and how much of a difference does having 6/6 sb make?

    Q4) What are the best ways of making gold currently? correct me if iam wrong is it just jewel farming, Gold loot, events, hoarding and merching?

    Q5) If someone is so kind to make a guide on best sets for different amounts of gold? For example an amount of 50m,100m,200m,300m etc. I understand that this requires significant in game knowledge of which i possess almost nil and I truly do not have the gold to buy and test every weapon, set and combo in the market for my price range.

    Q6) In my time hotbars weren’t a thing and it was fairly basic how to use weapons against bosses. The main mechanics at that time as a warrior in PvE was as a Tank in elite maps such as Planar tombs. Currently it has becomes a trend that every class can perform in every role. I want to know as a warrior trying to deal damage, how many hotbars should I have? I already have 4 which are assigned as GL, SS, Mob aegis (Krak aegis) and the last one for Boss (Krak sword).

    Thank you to whoever is kind enough to answer these questions. Im always grateful.

    P.S I have krak armor so the “~300mil” is aside from the krak armor, venal set, SS set.

    6. hotbars are mostly used to be able to quickly switch between equipment loadouts; as you'll play and learn about different types of gameplay you'll find the need to adapt and to create more loadouts so you'll need more hotbars
    2. krak sword has good proc but lower stats(so it's used in a proc loadout); sb cs has good stats but not so great proc(so it's used in a dmg/stats loadout); for best result u need both(see below for loadout details)
    3. not really; krak armor is used to complement the procs of other weapons but without the main procs you won't kill bosses; 6/6 sb makes a huge difference due to the cosmic killer buff
    4. best way to make gold is by far buying plat; if that is out of the question then depends: if you have good gear then gold farming if not then events
    5. there aren't that many and anyway you're either willing to spend a lot and get the best gear now or get only a part of it and work towards it over time
    1. first you need procs:
    • proc loadouts
      1. mobs proc: krak aegis + krak armor + krak belt + immo brace
      2. boss proc: krak sword + krak armor + krak belt + immo brace
      3. alternative boss proc: neptaris + krak armor + immo brace(i personally don't like this one since it's not as reliable as the krak sword but some do use it and it can be quite strong)
        it also has the downside that you need to keep using the same weapon for the proc to work so it won't benefit as much from a damage set

      then you need a damage set
    • damage loadout
      • weap: sb cs/sb aegis/force/rusk
      • ideally you'd have 6/6 sb but depending on what pieces you have you can combine them either with arcanes or lvl 81 legendary accesories for a boost in stats

    all of these are optional but in the end if you wanna be able to play lvl 81+ content you need at least the proc loadouts
    after you proc you switch to the damage set and you'll see the proc damage increase significantly

    for eraha you should be able to farm with only the boss proc loadout
    hedo is a different story:
    • to farm it with krak sword proc you need a very strong damage set which is quite expensive
    • it can be done with the alternative boss proc(using neptaris) but it's quite difficult and not very reliable imo

    Thank you for this. This is helpful.

    When you include sb aegis in the dmg set is it for the cosmic buff or is sb aegis itself a powerful dmg weapon?

    P.S About 5, There is no way Iam spending to get all the best equipment, but only a part of it as the game is P2W no matter how it is portrayed. I feel that beats the point of playing because you essentially have nothing to play for other than friends and vanity. The merchant in the novel “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho always had a dream of visiting Mecca but when he had sufficient money he never did, he was scared that he will no longer have a goal in life. The basis of my idea is similar to that.

    Apologies for the grossly out of context opinions.
    Thank you again.

    You have kraken armor. Then get a kraken sword with kraken belt and 3 star beast. And a snow weapon with strong awakening.

    The sb shield is good for killing mobs, it doesn't have a random proc. Remember to switch to a damage set after the proc.

    !!! the best "cheap" set !!!

    sb shield 130m
    sb helmet 44m
    sb armor 13m
    sb bracelet 27m

    kr sword 39m
    kr belt 16m
    kr artifact 20m

    snow chain 9m

    total 298m

    See also: try to complete a star beast set with six equipment and a weapon to get the cosmic killer (more damage stacking). And immo brace for damage set.

    You need to consider the damage over time. Just use the proc and see how much damage the enemy takes, without you needing to attack, kraken is better.

    The video below shows several comparisons between star beast, kraken and snow weapon.

    There is damage stacking in the game. Currently, if you have a star beast weapon with six other parts, you get the cosmic killer (200% damage stacking). This stacks with kraken set is really strong.

    If you want to kill a boss, get kraken proc, cosmic killer with a sb weapon 7/6 and switch to your damage set.

    In this video there is a Warrior Solo using the kraken set first. Then he switches to shield sb (with 7/6 sb) to get cosmic killer. And ends with a set of damage.

    Gold loot and jewel farming with elixir still good.

    Items purchased with platinum. Awakening gems sell quickly if you don't want to rely on luck to open chests.

    Events that drop badges and titles are good if you can kill bosses.

    Get a gold loot set first.

    50m: Kraken armor combined with dragonfire weapon. Then switch to anything with a better damage stat. Neptaris is good if you switch to kraken armor after the proc.

    100m: Kraken sword, armor and belt. Snow chain with 3 level 81 legendary zodias.

    200m: Kraken sword, armor and belt. Snow chain with 3 star beast.

    200m+: Try completing a 7/6 star beast with weapon. And immo brace for damage set. Now what matters is proc stacking damage and a switch to a good damage set.

    Add one more for equipment with better damage stats. Snow chain, 3 star beast, 3 lv 81 zodias legendary...

    The hotbar with kraken sword will be for boss proc. Put everything that has proc in it, then switch to the damage set.

    it has a little less dmg than the cs but much more dmg than krak sword/aegis so it can be used in a damage set quite well

    then i suggest you try to go with the combination of sb and 81 legendary accessories for the dmg set
    you'll need:
    1. one of the 4 weapons mentioned before
    2. sb helm
    3. sb armor
    4. sb artifact
    5. 81 legendary belt(recommended: potency)
    6. 81 legendary ring(recommended: lethality/assault/potency)
    7. 81 legendary amulet(recommended: lethality/assault/potency)
      • all 3 of these must have main stat STR
      • the 81 set has 6 pieces so you can choose to use another combination
      • but the weap has too low damage and the helm/armor too low armor
    8. immo brace

    i used this combination myself b4 getting full sb and i can tell u it works pretty well
    you should be able to farm most of the endgame maps(even without op jewels or awakes)
    but you'll still struggle in hedo

    indeed i forgot about the snow cs
    that is by far the best damage weapon for a cheap dmg set
