Resist

[Dohon]

<div>I am a LV25 Ranger and every ^^^ I face I get resist when I hit them what is a GOOD high damage weapon I can get at this level?</div>

[Zholain]

<div></div><font size="2">If you don't already have it, you simply need a tier-appropriate weapon or weapons.  For t3, that would be carbonite(common) or steel(rare) for your melee weapons, and ash(common) or fir(rare) for your bow for the crafted stuff.  If you already have those covered, I would guess that your resists are caused by the mobs you are fighting being orange or red to you or if it's just a specific type of mob perhaps they are resistant to the type of damage you are dealing, i.e. piercing or slashing.Hope that helps.</font><div></div><p>Message Edited by Zholain on <span class="date_text">01-11-2006</span><span class="time_text">09:50 AM</span></p>

<div></div><p>aye, what zho said. if the weapon is to low for you, the name should be grey and it should say so when you examine it.</p><p>another thing could be that your weapon is not 'special' enough for the mob. you have these tiers: 'commen' (isn't written), handcrafted, treasured, legendary and fabled. if the weapon is not 'special' enough, it won't scratch the mob. but that's just for certain mobs, mostly named ones.</p><p>--------------------------<a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/pplayer.vm?characterId=383113204" target="_self">Ryilan Nightbreeze </a>--------------------------</p>

<div>I had the weapons I have now sence level 11. I think they do 7-22 but have a but load of +'s I think its time to drop those. I want to dual wealed so at this point getting as much damaged will be the direction Im heading now.</div>

[Zholain]

<font size="2">Yeah, you definitely need to do some upgrading there.  Unless you're rich, I'd recommend a set of carbonites.  If you can get into some groups, then you'll have some opportunities to get some legendary drops.</font><div></div>

[Dohon]

<div>I have 10 plat atm so I think I could buy something. what would you recommend?</div>

[Siphar]

<div>start doing PGT for at lvl 32 and get a steel weapon (Tier 3 rare) if you have cash to spare i.e. 10 plat.</div><div> </div><div>Do i even need to say duel wield? i thought not <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div><div> </div><div>But you go through the younger levels so fast its hardly worth it. I just upgraded the BP/legs, bow and 2 duel wield each tier mainly. But heritage came in around 40ish with PGT, Bone dirk, SSoY etc...</div><div> </div><div>-Enjoy</div>

[Zholain]

<font size="2">Aye, at 25 you don't have very long at all in t3.  It would be a waste of coin to buy a set of rare dual-wields at this point.  Upgrade your bow to imbued fir, and get yourself a set of carbonite dual-wields.  You should be able to get the bow for less than 50g even if you're on a server with a really screwed up economy, but I would expect you could get one for around half that buying it straight off the broker.  You should already be thinking about t4 weapons and equipment at this point.  Save as much of your coin as you can for the upper tiers.  That's just my opinion, though.</font><div></div>

<div>I wish you were on my server. I looked for two hours last night before giving up even posted in teh traders cahn I got no responce guess people dont like making money on my server.</div>

[Zholain]

<font size="2">In that case, join the Qeynos_Crafting channel for your server.  You can either type "join Qeynos_crafting" or right-click on your chat window and bring up chat options and it's in the center column.  If you're still using default chat, do "/1 Any woodworkers out there who can help me figure out what I need to do to have a t3 rare bow crafted?"  I can almost guarantee someone will be willing to help you.  Too many good people in this game for it to go ignored.As an option, you could get your dual wield weapons, and follow the advice of one of the above posters and start Stormfire(don't even try to go into stormhold without tier-appropriate weapons).  You're at about the point where if started now, you'll just be able to equip it by the time you've finished the quests.  And being in a tight dungeon, you won't miss the bow as much as if you were out say killing giants out in the open.  And Stromfire will be useable and effective up to about level 35 or so, maybe even a bit higher.</font><div></div>

<div></div>Thank you all for your time and input. Lastnight the search ended, I found two makers to do the work for me. One was in freeport so that didn't help BUT there was a nice guy(Oxman). who made my brand new Sai's <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<font size="2">Very cool !!  For future reference(you may use this already), I highly recommend a little app called EQ2iDB, which you can download <a target="_blank" href="http://www.eq2idb.com">here</a>.  It's pretty handy in that you can see every weapon available at every tier so you can have a heads up on the stats and procs.  It also includes screencaps of the examine window.</font><div></div>
