Darkwar Building System

 

Stat System

There are two different styles that seem to work well. If you plan on using your Darkwar for PvP then go with the PvP stat system. If you would rather use it just to hunt, then go with the Hunting stat system.

 

PVP Stats:

Level 1: Elf Darkwar, 16 18 16 12 13

Darkwars need the agility for lethal and good to-hit and to-defends, and strength for more damage all around. Constitution will help for some basic HP but too much of it is a waste when you can get more HP through strength.

Place points on the following and try to get shrines somewhere along the way to level 20:

Level 2: +1 cons

Level 3: +1 cons

Level 4: +1 cons

Level 5: +1 cons

You now have 20 constitution without including shrines and this is all most darkwars (especially PvP darkwars) will need.

Level 6: +1 str

Level 7: +1 str

Level 8: +1 str

Level 9: +1 agil

From here on, simply alternate strength and agility to get high lethal (based on agility) and high damages even when lethal doesn’t kick in. Sometime before level 20 get all shrines and GH. Regular shrines are pretty easy to get, but GH costs a little more. If you do the white potion quest with Enasha, you will get 3 white potions. Hold onto them until you get GH or you will regret it later. If for some reason you lose your white potions, you can buy then for about 50k apiece from people in T7 or DS. Besides the whites, it usually costs a Redo for the trip to the shrine itself. So at level 20 after all shrines and Great Hall, your stats should look like this:

Strength: 25

Agility: 24

Constitution: 22

Intelligence: 14

Wisdom: 15

 

Hunting Stats:

Leveling Darkwars at the lower levels (from 1 to 18 or so) you are given a major advantage over the other classes by the fact that Darkwars get Run Attack at level 3. This makes moving around faster and leveling much faster, but after level 15 when all of the other fighter-type classes also get attack run, you will be back to having few advantages and since you never get spin you will be slower to level. In order to compensate, the Hunting Stat system uses a higher intelligence to give you more exp per kill as well as better masteries.

Level 1: Elf Darkwar, 16, 16, 16, 14, 13

At level one this isn’t a huge difference from the PvP stat system and it won’t give you an increase in experience-per-kill right away, but after shrines intelligence will be 16 which is an experience bonus and a masteries bonus. This system also gives your Darkwar more MP so they can charge themselves easier also making leveling easier.

Level 2: +1 cons

Level 3: +1 cons

Level 4: +1 cons

Level 5: +1 cons

This again gives you the 20 constitution which is all you need.

Level 6: +1 str

Level 7: +1 str

Level 8: +1 str

Level 9: +1 str

This will give you 20 strength (4 more strength than agility). From here on add agility and strength evenly, keeping strength 4 above agility. At level 20 with all shrines and Great Hall, your stats will be as follows:

Strength: 27

Agility: 24

Constitution: 22

Intelligence: 16

Wisdom: 15

 

Skill System:

The main skills that a Darkwar needs are the following:

 

Gear System

This is a list of the gear a Darkwar can wear up to level 18. After that you can find your own gear. The numbers in parenthesis are the level requirement on the gear. The gear with a * is the recommended best type of gear to wear for that level.

Armor:

Helmets:

Shield:

Weapons: - there are so many weapons that the ones included in this list are only the top options. Darkwars can equip any weapon in the game as long as they meet the stat and level requirements except for Spirit Wands and Dirus Wands. The ones in red are my personal recommendations, but it depends mostly on your personal tastes.

Gloves:

 

Remember that gear choices also depend on the props of the gear that you have access to. I wont go into detail about that, but it can make a difference.

 

Leveling Places

These are the places that I would recommend for leveling your Darkwar up to level 16. After that you can take quite a few places, so look around and have a higher level come with you to try them out.

 

Town Guard Training (in any town) (Level 1)

Millie’s Letter Quest (Level 1).

 

After doing these two quests kill any monster and you will be level 2.
