= Gearing your Lann = Gear not only looks cool, but keeps you pumping out damage. Hey, what a concept! In this section i'll be going over how to optimally equip your Sword Lann. Again, feel free to deviate from this guide as you wish. This gear list is simply the best of the best for Sword Lanns. == Stat Priority == To keep it simple, Strength > Willpower >> Agility. Essentially 100 Str = 270 Attack which is straight up damage. 100 Wil = 1.6% Crit hit AND 1.5% Crit damage. Note that 1.6% increased critical chance is NOT exactly a 1.6% increase in damage since when you crit, you do NOT do 2x damage. 100 Agi = 2.13% Gliding Strike damage increase. Thus, APPROXIMATELY 1 Str = 1.4 Will = 9 Agi. This is including your Gliding Strike damage with your crit as well. Also, this ratio will vary depending on your base stats. This will be the basis for the armor choices further. == Armor == From a furry chest piece to a spiked suit, all the best armor for Sword Lanns is listed here with pictures for your viewing pleasure. === [[Exquisite Crimson Rage Set]] === Your first set of REAL armor. Although it doesn't look nearly as cool as the other sets you'll be wearing, it offers a notable upgrade in your stats, so who cares if you look like you skinned chewbacca and wrapped yourself in his body parts after dumping melted crayola crayon colors on it? This set will take care of you for quite some time, so get used to it. === [[Exquisite Savage Leather Armor Set]] === Well this set is definitely a vanity improvement from your last set. The stat increase is also nice. You can start wearing the set as early as level 20, and it requires rank E in Light Armor Proficiency to wear. As a sword Lann, this set will more than likely last you all the way to level 32. * '''''Note:''''' You should replace the [[Savage Leather Gloves]] with the [[Sweetie Bear Gloves]] since you'll need the [[Sweetie Bear Gloves]] for a side quest and it has overall better stats (+13 Willpower). You lose quite a bit in defense, but by now you should have a decent level in [[Slip Dash Proficiency]] and shouldn't get hit very often. Also, the [[Reinforced Set]] has some interesting choices to get some really unique armor combinations up until 32. Mix and match as you see fit. === [[Elite Commander Set]] === Can you say FREE ARMOR!!? That's right, this armor is free to acquire for Lanns and gives a VERY good boost to our primary stats. While Spear lanns focus on pumping agility to maximize their Hurricane damage, Sword Lanns like to focus on raising their crit rate as high as they can. You must be level 32 to wear every piece of armor. What this set lacks in strength, it more than makes up for in Will. === [[Heavier Red Tyrant Set]] === This set would be considered a slight upgrade from elite commander gear. How much of an upgrade? Well, not much. The set only offers a minuscule 30 extra strength and a negligible 1 willpower increase. Because of the time and cost required to produce this set, I would say that you're better off saving your money and sticking with Elite Commander. === [[Exquisite Spider Lord Set]] === The Spider Lord Set isn't as useful to a sword Lann, as it is to a Spear user. The armor is void of any Will whatsoever and is rather time consuming and expensive to craft. Still, if you feel that you want to try things from a diff. perspective as a sword Lann, then feel free to craft this armor. It has a nice Str boost from Elite Commander and a good agility hike. Keep in mind that the whole set requires [[Heavy Armor Proficiency]] rank C while the helmet requires [[Plate Armor Proficiency]] rank C. * '''''Note:''''' The only reason I have listed this set of armor, was simply to offer a secondary choice for Sword Lanns who want to deviate from focusing on willpower and instead focus on raising their raw average damage with STR. I personally don't recommend using this set as a sword Lann, since I don't feel that the average raw damage increase from the STR boost makes up for 2.48% crit chance loss from Elite Commander. Still, it's there for open ended purposes. You make the call. === [[Exquisite Nightmare Set]] === OMG. This armor is a match made in Heaven for sword lanns. It offers a decent amount of strength and agility as well as a '''PLETHORA''' of Will. Even though you will be losing strength from the spider lord set, you won't mind one bit at all when you see how much Will you're getting. It's recommended to start ranking [[Light Armor Proficiency]] up to B at level 40, so that you'll be ready to wear this epic set at level 44. === [[Exquisite Fine Steel Plate Set]] === This is another alternative to the Nightmare Set. Forsakes strength for a massive amount of willpower. This is a good set if you got your [[Gliding Fury]] to rank 9 and have [[Lightning Fury]]. === [[Exquisite Laghodessa Slayer Set]] === Yet another alternative to the [[Exquisite Nightmare Set]]. It doesn't give you willpower, but if you haven't ranked up your [[Gliding Fury]] and want to save on some gold or just get the title, it's a decent set to use. The amount of strength that this gives you offsets its lack of willpower. ===[[Royal Cadet Heavy Armor Set]]=== This is straight upgrade from your 44 set of choice. Decent stat increase and the materials are very easy to get if you do your quests in hoarfrost hollows. ===[[Exquisite Sinister Half Plate Set]]=== This is currently the second best set for Lann's at the moment. Don't be fooled into thinking that the [[Swift Set]] is better or the [[Exquisite Black Hammer Set]] because of the higher level requirements. ===[[Dark Crest Set]]=== This is the best set for level 60-70 at the moment. You get the chest, greaves, and helmet (with helmet being the rarest) as drop-offs of Titan while you will have to make the gauntlets and boots yourself. A nice and better alternative would be a mixture of swift and bh but most people would get Dark Crest because it is easier to make, besides the helm, and, for many people, is the epitome of looks. === [[Nighthawk Heavy Armor Set]] === Recommended to get this armor when you first hit level 70 because its easier to acquire and its pretty good armor to wear while you are working on getting [[Apocryphal Set]] or [[Everlasting Dragon Set]]. To acquire this armor is that you have to keep running Twilight desert over and over again for the mats. To wear this armor you must have level 6 in both heavy and plate armor Proficiency. * '''''Note:''''' To make the most of both sets, you can substitute the boots and gloves of this set for those of the [[Apocryphal Set]], avoiding the expense and spamming for the three [[Elchulus's Teardrop]]s. The set bonuses for each are stronger than the single set bonus for the full Nighthawk armor set. === [[Apocryphal Set]] === The best piece of gear for level 70s. It provides a great bonus to offensive stats and is a good alternative to [[Everlasting Dragon Set|Everlasting]]. It is still quite a pain-in-the-ass to acquire, since you'll need to spam [[The God of Fomors]] for [[Ancient Elchulus]] pieces or hope he drops them, though all you need are three [[Elchulus's Teardrop]]s. The entire set requires [[Plate Armor Proficiency]] Rank 6 except for the pants which requires [[Light Armor Proficiency]] Rank 6. == Weapons == Because in Vindictus, life ain't like a box of chocolates, you're gonna need to pack some steel to protect yourself. So what better weapons to grab, then the best ones possible, right? === Important Note about Range === It should also be noted that each and every sword has its own unique range of attack (range being reach). If you do choose to stray from the guide and pick a sword not listed here, it's good to be aware of that. Especially for those of you that thought it was a good idea to get the [[Ewynsoch Twin Sword]] based on stats alone. That particular sword has the 2nd shortest reach of all swords currently in game. ===[[Skyfrost Twin Swords]]=== [[File:Skyfrost Twin Swords.png]] These swords have no level or mastery requirement to equip and should be puchased and worn as soon as you can afford them. Since they are so cheap, there really is no reason not to wear these swords. They will last you all the way until level 12. ===[[Twin Red Metal Longswords]]=== [[File:Twin Red Metal Longswords.png]] These swords have the best stats for your level and an amazing fashion to boot! They blend right in with your crimson rage set as well. Now you can completely look like a box of crayola crayons barfed all over you. Better get used to them, they're going to last you all the way up to level 26 or 28. ===[[Twin Swords of Life]]=== [[File:Twin Swords of Life.png]] These puppies look like the swiss army knife you had in boy scouts when you were young. They don't? Oh well, must be thinking of someone else. ;P These swords are an excellent choice to have. They offer good attk and give a unique 100 hp boost. It is recommended not to enhance these, unless you plan on using them until level 32, or because you need to reduce their weight to equip them. ===[[Twin Bone Spiked Longswords]]=== [[File:Twin Bone Spiked Longswords.png]] Hey! Finally a decent looking pair of weapons to swing around! These spiked suckers are a good bang for your money. You'll be able to craft them for cheap and they'l easily last you until 32. If you chose to hang onto your red metal swords up until you could wear these, then you'll notice a large damage increase. Feel free to enhance them as you wish, they're worth it. ===[[Blade of Ykesha]]=== [[File:Blade of Ykesha.png]] Now these are some seriously badass looking and performing swords. Cheap to craft and they do their job quite well. Regardless of whether you decide to use Soul Slashers in the next few levels or keep these equipped, you'll want to hang onto them, since they serve a much better purpose later on. ===[[Soul Slasher]]=== [[File:Soul Slasher.png]] Six levels is a while to go without an upgrade. For those of you that must have the best performing gear available, then upgrading to these is a must. ===[[Blade of Ykesha: The Nihility]]=== [[File:Blade of Ykesha.png]] Who would have thought those Ykesha blades you've been using, had a hidden purpose and story behind them? After completing the Battle ''Where the legend sleeps'' you'll be able transform your inferior ykesha blades into their true and ultimate form with the help of Brynn and his crafting abilities. These monsters will last you for quite a long time once you acquire them. ===[[Twin Nightmare]]=== [[File:Twin_Nightmare.png]] These swords are the better solution to the Blade of Ykesha in terms of stats (noticeably willpower) and attack. They can also allow you to skip the Serenity. ===[[Serenity]]=== [[File:Serenity.png]] From 42 to 54 is a long way to go without a weapon upgrade, especially since the battles get alot harder to get ivory swords. These swords have quite a bit of a damage increase but are somewhat lacking on other stats. They are cheap though so this might not be a bad investment. ===[[Ivory Twin Swords]]=== [[File:Ivory Twin Swords.png]] Not much to say here. best swords until 60. Purely AWESOME stats. Grinding irukul is quite fun and challenging as well. Get these as soon as possible if you skipped serenity swords. ===[[Recklus's Luminaries]]=== [[File:Recklus's Luminaries.png]] Decent upgrade, from Ivory Swords, but if you can hold off for 1 more level, you can get the faster and higher att swords known as Vanquishers. When comparing these to vanquishers they might have less att but they have more crit. So in going from ivory to these you dont feel like your giving up as much crit as going from ivory to vanquishers. More crit means more gliding fury so these might be the better option. Vanquishers do have a slight speed advantage but much less crit. === [[Vanquishers]] === [[File:Vanquishers.png]] The highst att twin swords for story 6. You can skip these and stick with Ivory or Luminaries untill you reach story 7. These things also have +3 attack speed on them before even enhancing at all. The down side to these is they have much less crit than ivory so you are giving up quite a bit of crits for higher att and increased speed. Keep in mind lann is already the fastest attacking character in the game. === [[Dreamwalker Twin Swords]] === [[File:Dreamwalker_Twin_Swords.png]] The best twin swords for level 60-70 in the game. While the crits are lower than Ivory Twin Swords, they make up the difference with a starting +9 in attack speed and higher attack. Higher attack speed means more chance for crits. An alternative to dreamwalkers would be a pair of nicely enhanced [[Recklus's Luminaries]] since they retain some of the crits from Twin Ivories and have longer range. Remember, attack speed, unlike crits, can easily be augmented through enhancements. Increasing crits on a weapon is only possible through rare enchants. Even doing so is especially difficult since there are more crit enhancing enchants for twin spears than twin swords and these enchants only add a few percentages of crit.
