I've been following your guide carefully and after reading through this entire thread, I'd like to tell you you're doing an awesome job in helping new players like myself. I do have a question though. Why is it that you don't list a suggested helmet or glove until later levels? I'm assuming the ones you listed have offensive stats and defensive stats really aren't needed? I'm only level 2 atm (carefully and slowly using stamina) and there are times where I 1 shot mobs, but I just attacked a rat and had to use up 9 stamina. At what level do you expect someone to be 1 shotting mobs regularly?
=) I guess there were a couple questions in there. I just wish I could afford the tassodans rune.
The lack of the rune was making ya miss that was why... I listed the names of the monsters you should be one hitting... the reason for the lack of other equ is that non of it adds atk or dmg til later... defense stats aren't needed but to defend player attacks and could be used from other items that are blank...
the main reason I wanted to make this guide was due to nomad not being up to my *par* and eribor sucking BAD... sick of people wasting time or gold/fsp to get them... those set ups work... I wouldn't use giggles at all though... as it replaces to high damage items for that range... I like the way frostbite works out
