Rdm/Nin is also not the only path to consider. Even the JSE sword you can get from Oboro seems vastly more cost effective for what you want to do when compared to Excal. Even with buffs from the weapon.Savage Blade slaps harder than KoR.Īs RDM you'll probably want to look at Naegling like everyone else for some fat Savage Blades, or Colada.

Even with a 10min recast on convert, RDM about as many tools to stall for time as a lawyer does.chances are you'll die from status effects, spike dmg, or aoes long before you find yourself OoM and SoL. As a RDM you'll get Composure which'll make your already good Refresh spells last a good long time and Convert. The truth is the KoR weapon skill and Excalibur are not worth it for Regen or Refresh even on PLD unless your trusts are dead and you're making a desperate last stand. Excalibur might be semi decent if you plan to R15 it for a Shield block rate build and tank with a shield (abusing shield mastery for Spell Interruption down). For the most part.Old school relics (Save Gjallerhorn and Aegis situationally) are not good investments. I built Excalibur, falling into a trap that often catches players coming back to the game with a 75 era mindset. Colada with +4% enhancing duration Ammurapi Shield for +10% enhancing duration Pukulatmuj +1 for enhancing skill Forfend +1 for enhancing skill Sakpata's Sword for Phalanx Contemplator +1 R15 for Frazzle/Distract potency etc.

There's also other weapons you'll want to obtain purely as macro pieces. RDM is a job where you don't particularly need any REMA - Crocea Mors functions as that ultimate weapon. Don't make it unless it's for sentimental value as a personal goal. Likewise, Vitiation Sword is a perfectly fine stopgap/alternative to Crocea Mors, and it costs very little.Īs for Excalibur. Don't feel ashamed about using their Kaja versions until you get the necessary pulses (just prioritize upgrading Naegling first). Now, that's a lot of pulse weapons, as well as the rather expensive Crocea Mors. I don't personally have mine augmented, so I can't comment on its efficacy, but it seems like it would be a neat off-hand when you want to focus purely on Enspell damage and aren't employing a no TP feed strategy - say, for fighting Tolba or something. Good to off-hand with Crocea when you want to self-Light with CDC, perhaps to magic burst off of.ĭemersal Degen +1 R15. You'll want this for the magic accuracy alone for various enfeebles, but it'll also allow you to multi-step SC via Empyreal Arrow. Pair with Daybreak, TP bonus sword, or Bunzi Rod. Good to have for when you want to AoE with Aeolian Edge, or some hypothetical where you need piercing damage. Same general idea as Naegling, but for when you need blunt damage w/ Black Halo. Wind Knives are available via login points this month, but are 190 delay, while Ceremonial Daggers (farm or AH) are 183 delay, and various other limited availability daggers are 180. Also pair it with Naegling if you don't have the accuracy to support the TP bonus off-hand.Īny pair of 1DMG daggers, with as low delay as you can get. Ternion is just a great general purpose off-hand, boasting very low delay, triple attack, subtle blow, WSD, and high accuracy. This'll be for situations where you're either using Seraph Blade, or want to boost your Sanguine Blades w/ Daybreak's MND & MAB.Ĭrocea Mors & Ternion Dagger +1 R15.

Or you just want to Savage Blade spam.Ĭrocea Mors & Daybreak. This'll be a staple for any fight where Enspell damage isn't potent, while physical is. Naegling & Machaera +2 (TP bonus off-hand). Talking purely weapons, here are the pairs I utilize most often: It's crucial to note that no weapons are going to make you well-geared alone please focus on all your gear.
