Alright I HAD been using a Jambiya till I lost mine now i'm wondering on Katars. How much do mod slice Katars go for and where (shop or forged?) Also if anyone around Haven feels like snaggin me a jambiya or two (got a friend wanting one as well) id love ya forever (be that good or bad only i know!)

I'd recommend going for the fair slice/mod impact katar. Weighs a couple more stones than the mod slice/fair impact, but seems to pack more punch.

Ok anyone know a way to get ahold of edgee or some other LE forging?

The difference between the two is if you grind them, not weight.

Have you tried silver leucros? Oddly 115 ranks seems like prime swain material but the leucros might work a little while longer. Other than that, there are hatchlings in the sewers.

Leucros teach at a snails pace, You can just do so much damage with store bought light edge, even the largest of them(short swords and such)

I'm assuming that because learning is based on the end damage light edge useres are generally massively disadvantaged.

hatchlings tend to deflect most of the damage, hard hide and such.

sure, I can tingle them, until I get in the middle of a swarm right after tingling 3 and one sneeks in with a hammer during the massive scroll of a swarm.

But what about people, yes even war mages, that Don't have tingle?

>>--Shnurui>

Well, I am unfortunately LE prime. And not a thief. And I really dont have any trouble training it. Yes around your ranks was tough to get thru but once you stick it out, it isnt so bad. Other edges are better, as I do train HE as well. But I really can't complain about my outcast katar. It works just fine. What I did to get thru the tough ranks was HB critters so I could hit them harder. I don't have to anymore as I trained up my body stats and LE ranks. I can still cut critters in half with my toothpick weapon. Which I find to be pretty cool. hehe.
I do believe around those ranks I played with silver leucros and then went to latami on aesry. I never ever liked swain with LE.

Depends on his stamina and evasion for the venom. But as far as weapon ranks yes. But as I understood it he wanted something on ratha. But he is kinda in between ratha creatures.

IP is your friend in swains if you just wanna work LE and you have it. I did it on my warrior mage till he got to the point where he could get past the weapons easy enough. Works great for ranged weapons too as they don't wear head armor and can take shots there for easy stuns and good damage

I'd suggest vipers/serpents at the Pejek Bog out the east gate of Riverhaven, or vines/creepers/marauders up in Theren. I train LE and QS as my primary weapons right now and those have taught me flawlessly through those hard ranks. I think they teach much better than swains personally, but it's a matter of preference.

First tier snow goblins in Aesry followed by second tier snow goblins in Aesry or angiswaerd hatchlings in Throne City, is what I would do around those ranks. I still stay away from black leucros, because they have such high offense compared to their defense. No telling with those sicko's.

>> I trained LE at around 115 in haven swamp trolls and lang peccs. I am not sure if this is still viable because this was years and years ago. <<

This is not a viable option unless your defenses far outweigh your offenses. Snow goblins are a superb option if you have the ability for crowd control. As a Bard, I would not have survived those ranks in snow goblins without the ability to immobilize or calm all of my enemies because if they do swarm, goblins have quite a punch. But then again, I just started training shield, so I was relying on parry and evasion only. Bottom line, it really does differ what you should hunt at these ranks based on your stats, your guild/abilities, and your defensive skills. But you should try:

Silver leucro's on Ratha
Thicket vipers/Piruati serpents in Riverhaven
Young Ogres/Blood Wolves near Wolf Clan (After you climb the cliff, do not go UP at all..stay on the first level and you should be safe from Scout Ogres)
Snow Goblins (Tier 1) on Aesry
Vines/Creepers in Ker'Leor Forest west of Theren Keep (my personal favorite for those ranks)
Grave Worms in the Manor Area south of Leth Deriel (dangerous to get to and they swarm)
Gargoyles/Snowbeasts north of Shard
Blue-bellied Crocodiles (South of Haven ferry or in Throne City, but the currents in Throne are a little rough)

I'd suggest thicket vipers/serpents as they're teaching me my prime weapon (vipers) at 143 ranks still and my secondary weapon at 102 ranks (Serpents) in Riverhaven so I think this is your best bet, if you can avoid the viper poison.

Hope all the info people have compiled helps you here.

Mekage makes a mod puncture thats reasonably balanced, I swear by it, hits like a briquet.

>I'm an edge hunter, I'm certain there's someone who grinds for edge on light, somewhere. Or I'll just wait this other 30 ranks and make my own.

The best you'll get on a LE is Moderate slice - and that's on a Dismally balanced katar.


>Mekage makes a mod puncture thats reasonably balanced, I swear by it, hits like a briquet.

No, he doesn't - at least not without special metals. Unless there's a new short sword template that's been released, you are probably mistaking Poorly balanced for Reasonably balanced.

You raise your hands in the air. You wave them like you just don't care. Somebody says, "Hey!" Somebody says, "Ho!" Somebody screams.

So Katar that's balanced?
Or Short sword that's edged?

Either way I'm still looking for one.

Dao is good, but it's balanced is screwy.



>>--Shnurui-->

Old katars are in the 1k plat range - if you can find someone willing to sell. Good luck with that. Any forged katar is going to have very very little balance due to the nature of the template.

My advice would be to switch to ME or 2HE.

Get a jambiya.

Try to find a hideously altered old katar if possible. I got one from a gonif auction extremely cheap.
