  • Capping weapons?

    I'm a 15 thf right now and I keep reading that I need to keep sword and dagger capped at every level. Can anyone tell me what the caps are at each level? How about what targets I should be going after to skill up my weapons faster? I would prefer to do this solo so I don't have to form a party for it or ask a party to get sub par exp.

    There is all the information you need on levels and caps.

    As for how to skill up - it's hard to say, just equip the weapon and kill things relating to your current skill - baring in mind that things need to be Even Match to take you up to your very cap.

      What weapon have you been using thus far? You could probably get to 40 or so killing gobs in LaTheine or Konschtat. After that, just switch out whenever you level in a party and they will easily stay capped. After lvl 33 you can use dagger full time. Sword, I hear, has its uses much farther down the road, but at that point you can just get a skillup/coffer key party and lvl it some.
      Sethe linked a website telling you what the caps are. Just kill stuff that would EM+ to what skill lvl you're shooting for and you'll get there soon enough. Lets say you had 0 skill in dagger and capped skill in sword. Grab the best dagger you can and go right outside your hometown and kill the mobs around there. Work your way to the next level zone until you get to around 30 or so. Then go to one of the previous areas I mentioned to get a few more lvl's. After that, you'll be close enough to cap to start using it in an exp party and you'll cap it pretty quick.
      Good luck with it, its really not that hard at all, just takes a little time.

        At level 15 I wouldnt bother skilling up solo rather do skill up in party, the time when you really need skill up is you are way undercap and can barely hit the mob and constantly do low damage.

          I would keep Hand to Hand Capped, you may not have high skill in them but for mission 5-1 it is needed, and there fun as hell to play with i farm with H2H hitting 60-70 per hit with 160 skill and +10DMG, compared to my 211 Capped skill 21DMG dagger that hits 50-60, also raging fists is cool
