So the queries:

I am very unsure about the type of Melee weopon I should use. I'd like to have it as a competent stand-by to prevent my MP from running too low. I've upgraded to Rapier 5, so that's what I've been using.

1. Is it normal to have tons of shards and stones? Are they valuable?

2. Please suggest a type of weopon that I should use as a secondary.

3. Is it worth it to focus a little on strength in order to wield something larger if your a Mage? I've picked up the uchigatana and kris blade. They are too heavy. Obviously I need to make some decisions, but I'd like to hear what you guys suggest.

I've read several random posts from random forums during my random google searches about wep stuff....

I've seen a few people say that Crescent Axes are good for the mage type because of their knockdown and low str requirement.

They sell for 10k souls at the fledgling merchant in Boletarian Palace.

 

Oh and keep all your stones/shards, they'll definitely be useful eventually. I think all shards are buyable from merchants, but chunks and pure stones (very very rare) definitely arn't always easy to come by. Save them and learn their use and value before deciding what you really wanna use them on.

To put it short: they're for weapon upgrades.


As far as I know he has disappeared. I'll have a look at those axes thanks :)

Just beat 5-1 now. :D

EDIT: I mean 4-1. Beat 5-1 last night.

I think he's the 'Dregling' merchant, and he basically moves his position as you progress through world 1. It's only in 1-3 that the crescent axe becomes available for sale from him.

I played the game as a mage and used the crescent falchion for most of my first playthrough, t'was decent enough. Basically just pick some crescent weapon with low requirements if you want to focus on magic.
