Recently I've had this conversation and a few like it:
[xxxx]: post rapiers plz
[me]: <posts ql258 rapier>
[xxxx]: are those the highest you can get on?
[me]: yep
[xxxx]: O.o
[xxxx]: I'm surprised
So I'd thought I'd post here and see what I'm missing here.. I'm a ql210 opifex enf.
Items:
255 symbs (ql220-240, including trickledown)
077 3 pieces of mercs (ql255ish, can't get higher on)
021 Nova Dillon pants/chest/helmet
019 melee nball
015 Infantry crepuscule boots
012 +10 ergo ring
004 Melee fighter's speed manual
003 Cama pearl
Perks:
022 Champion of light infantry 4
Buffs:
132 wrangle (don't know any high level traders)
120 Vlad's revenge
020 Comp melee
003 Comp attr trickledown
003 behe trickledown
002 prod strength trickledown
-------------
+708 sum of above (with 1017 base = 1725 piercing total)
But apparently a lot of people can equip the ql300 weapons at 210. (And without maxing out the perks I heard?) So any ideas where I can get another +275?
