Which is the better weapon???

Sat Dec 25, 2004 5:11 pm

Hmmm....which do you think is better???

Grand Lightning Beam (70k, 5-6 Icons)
Lost Desert Dagger (15k, 6 Icons)
Hand Painted Scarab (10k, 7 Icons)

*Hand Painted Scarab has the most icons and is the cheapest. Please comment. I am going to buy one of them + a leaf shield.*

How come the hand paintes scarab is the cheapest when it does the most icons???

Get the lost desert dagger. Ignore the grand lightning beam and the HPS. There are much better weapons out there.

Better yet, save up and get a scroll of dark nova

Scroll of Dark Nova + Lost Desert Dagger is the best to me.

Lost Desert Dagger for sure, I still use it even after I just dished out 2.5 million for a weapon. (it makes for a great back up) I used Duel LDDs for a long time as a newbie.

duel shaken-up can of neocola though most of the time will give you 8 icons, which (although air is good) will only give you 2 more icons that 1 LDD. If you get one to give you the max its still only 14 icons, 2 more than 2 LDDs. Too me, its too much of a jump and isn't worth it.

It depends on your boost and stance, as well as some other things, GLB is just overpriced due to rarity, not usefulness

one more thing

Try lesser healing scroll, 25 hp heal b4 damage, the scroll of dark nove does 6 icons, 3dark, 3 light.

hmmm

how about LDD??? how many icons???

and wut is the leaf shield good for??? i've seen plenty of ppl recommending it.

Ok.

LDD = 3 earth, 3 light
Scroll of Dark Nova = 3 dark, 3 light
Scroll of Flame Strike = 3 Fire, 3 Physical

People recommend the SoDN and the SoFS combo because you have 4 different types of icons that do the same amount of damage per icon type. So it is harder to fully block. Earth, Water, Physical, and Dark nowadays are easily or almost always partially blocked with dual-duty weapons. (Dual-duty meaning it attacks and defends some icons at the same time)

The leaf shield blocks water, earth, and physical I believe. There are minimums and maximums to that weapon, and it really depends on your defence boost.

what matters though, is price, the price of the item is usually what decides whether its a buyer or seller. LDD is always cheap and always reliable.
