*****THE REST UNDER SI NOT UPDATED IM AT WORK********

I dont have my VIT atm since I am at work, but my gear IS balanced with VIT for god's etc. I commonly compare a lot with my ls paladin's to make sure I am not to far behind.

For XP parties I switch out a lot of my HP gear and go heavy on VIT.

To get:
I have gotten everything on my old list (BQ ring, cop ring, taru earring, gigante mantle, etc) The only thing I ever need is king drop's, which will not be a simple task since I am a main rdm. But as for end game gear, I have pretty much gotten everything.

My XP preference post 70(ecvery other membver should be 75).
XP setup preference: Fight Sky weapons, get a well equipped monk,sam,pld,rdm,whm(you can get a 6th if you want).
#1->pld flash,voke 1 cure2 or 3.
#2->monk will commonly get hate, dont worry it's no problem. avoid keeping hate to heavy, you want to keep hate until monk is rdy to sc.
#3-> monk voke, dragon kick-> sam SATA-> Tachi:Kasha-> Light
#4-> your mob will be dead, or VERY close to dead, and you should have still near full mp, this goes on forever. constant chain #5 no downtime until your hungry.-

Some random stuff for you guys:

HP+God's: The reason you want a lot of HP is to not get one shotted. Just keep note, that VIT is important as well.

For the Love of god, Concentrate on VIT for XP PT's. i have about 1200-1300 hp in xp pt's and thats more than enough, your VIT will be much more useful, and kill downtime. I think I have +41 VIT @ lvl 72 in xp pt's my base is 65-66~

On a side note Hume have 70 VIT @ lvl 75 :p i beleive taru have 68, which isnt too shabby

Durandel or Joyeuse?: I prefer durandel for xp, i use my joyeuse when im bored and wanna see myself fly

E. Staff Vs Sword+Shield: Xp wise I was wrong a long time ago, I sugegsted earth staff. dont do that, work on sword+shield, a capped shield is amazing.
E. Staff has it uses, but it's not for giggles SE gave you A+ shield A+ sword.

Taru or galka doesnt make a difference in end game xp pretty much mp wise, i hardly spend mp now. I cant comment for gods. But a Galka with 100mp in my pt setup i suggested will have no mp problem whatsoever.

Skill's do play a matter, but so does your gear.

Taru pld is expensive, but so is every other race/job



Grats on excalibur discordian\\I miss apple pie

Re: Progress of Tarudin

Hehe, I would say something, but I'm in the process of thinking what I need as well to be honest. I dunno, everything that you mentioned sounds great for a PLD. Being that I'm a hume and this is my highest job, I can only imagine getting Gigant Mantle, working to get CoP ring (I really wish), and among other stuff.

I would say upgrade your Gluttony to perhaps Espadon +1 for the DMG and speed (I think, but then again it might be situational) to Durandal once you hit 71, (7VIT, 1enmity). Your shield, perhaps get a General's at 69 (enmity), and Koenig at 73 for the enmity and VIT. Your sash's are great for a tarudin cause it gives both HP and VIT (wish Hume's is like that).

Other than that, I think you got almost all covered (least the HP point), you may wanna look into getting +enmity though. But dunno which. Prolly upgrade AF to Adaman perhaps??

[Lmnop]

Re: Progress of Tarudin

that's RSE2 there, Shortround. And Gluttony is rediculous but I'm not surprised by it... cheaper than a level 40 monk on my server still.

[Tipsy]

Re: Progress of Tarudin

"that's RSE2 there"no dur....taru rse is cheap. the rse2 is like 100k+ on my servr/ Gluttony is like 800k, seraph is 1 of teh worst economies thers no way its that much on kaujata

[JP_Ikari]

Re: Progress of Tarudin

Wow, RSE2's cheap in Seraph. Hume RSE2 boots is like 3mil in my server. So I would think it's the same for everyone else. Gluttony was climbing to 1mil when I was 62. I dunno about now. Hey Wee, good luck again 71, you can store your Gluttony and get a Durandal. Change your shield too btw.

JP

P.S. I want a Cassie earring but it's expensive T_T.

[Lmnop]

Re: Progress of Tarudin

While I do think that Gluttony Price is quite steep (think it's closing on 3 mil on my server but I'll have to check -- yea we're the ones with Haubergeons more expensive than Haub +1s on some other servers), the RSE2 prices seem about right to me. So don't "no dur" me, child. You know nothing of other servers.

[Weeeekujata]

Re: Progress of Tarudin

Correction,
I dunno how my glutonny said 8,000,000 that was a typo >.<

supposed to be 800k XD

Double Post Edited:
I dont use RSE2 anymore, i simply find AF much better in general, the losee after AFv2 & Koenig Head+Hand wont be too bad either(other than gloves) Taru RSE2 belt is nice though the HP one.

PLD 70, 5 more lvls to go. This officially puts me the 2nd NA Tarutaru pld on my server 70+, damn the guy who's first

[Arendise]

Re: Progress of Tarudin

Oh another Taru PLD :O I'm on my way to 75 too!

[Weeeekujata]

Re: Progress of Tarudin

first off i know i`ve been making a lot of taru based paladin post, if it buys someone sorry :p but im trying to put some life back into these forums. and I know there`s a general intrest in how taru`s do as paladin.

Anyways We went to do some water farming, but we had too many Ro`meave water, so we went to kill olla and got 3 more while waiting for the ??? to repop ;p

So finally some of my LS member said they wanted to see the little man tank at the moment I am still @ 70.

So we get to genbu and the first thing they said "All right open bet's if weeee dies"

Genbu #1: The first Genbu went smooth for about 10% of genbu life, until he suddenly did Water breath 400->Toirtoise stomp 750+ dmg, prior to that never lose hate.

Genbu #2: I lasted longer on this one, hate never lost but eventually I died about halfway his HP

Genbu #3: this one went really nice, never lost hate as usual, I got him to about 30-35% than died.

I was 70 I knew I would die, but the experience was priceless.

Koenig users @ lv 73+ have 22 more VIT as well, which looking at my hume counterpart has helped a lot.

I strongely believe @ 73+ a taru pld will not have any problems.

My strat was flash+voke->Shield bash(we wanted to finish them off quick so didnt bother with tp up) macro right away into earth staff, and cure myself like a normal xp pt.(Even if your taru I beleive you should watch the MP, proper MP use makes a difference)

I have no bomb queen or Cop ring yet, but doing BQ run next week and cop ring soon i hope.

My HP was 1341 I believe. MP 495

Re: Progress of Tarudin

RSE2 for Taru-Male are both 7 digits on Midgardsmor, 2mil+ for each last I've seen.

Re: Progress of Tarudin

Depending what you're doing, some pld switch in some ACC stuff even at cost of def. Like assault earring.

Before the shield change, it used to be quite good if you somehow leveled it up that high, but taru's tend to get shafted for the block damage still does a good amount of damage, and most tend to goto staff quickly, and let their mp do their hate job.

Vit is nice and all, but if there's a good amount of HP to be had, go for that, half the special attacks, vit seems to do nothing, and it's more or a race to see who lets up first, your HP, or mp. Though it depends on the attack I guess.

Re: Progress of Tarudin

I guess I'm at the point of thinking what I need in the next level. I'm still wondering if my new LS will let me tank with my AF body with Adaman. I hope they do so I can check if it's better againts HNM or not. Having more HP is better and that's already been established. Oh well, gonna find out in a couple of weeks.

I haven't gotten a bomb queen ring as of yet, but I'm in the process of getting one with my new LS. I got me my Jelly Ring thanks to a very good friend that helped me out. Finally got 2 Pigeon Earrings and when I wore my Ocean Belt, it boosted my HP (with Lord's Cuisses, and Lord's Gauntlets) to 1381 prior to food and just having my normal set up. If I get a bomb queen ring that will be around 1456. I had more HP than a 74 PLD wearing full Adaman which was a Hume. Didn't really look at what he had though. Still working hard to get either a Gigant Mantle (yummy 80HP), a Cassie Earring (50hp hellz yea). But, just to end all of this thing both me and wee are working on, can everyone that has HNM experience (6months to 3 years) help us out. here's my Equipment as a 72 (going 73) hume PLD all ready to go...

Earth Staff, Durandal + Koenig Shield
Adaman Barbuta
Pigeon Earring x2
IM Gorget
Adaman Cuirass/Gallant Surcoat
Bomb Queen Ring (ready to go, got pop items, just need to kill the bitch)
Jelly Ring
Adaman Gauntlets
Knightly Mantle (I need help on what I need to get for a back item, should I stick with the Knight or work my ass off and get 3Mil for Gigant??)
Ocean Belt for HP (30HP), I need 2mil to get the Sash
Adaman Cuisses
Adaman Sabatons
