So my Rapier 5 is fine then?


Well...might be good in the earlier stages, but you should aim to get better, like, soon or something.

At Rapier 6 you unlock the upgrade path to crescent, but at your current stage in the game you might not be getting the required stones yet. There's a certain stage, early in it, where you can find a crescent falchion laying around. Not giving you much info there in case you think I spoil something for you..

I'm only talking about the crescent stuff cuz you say you use magic primarily, and it provides a boost to your magic stat, magic damage, and some minor MP regen (which is golden early in the game i find).


1. I cannot imagine that I wouldn't have the stone. I have tons and tons of different stones.

2. Is there a serious advantage to using another weopon over the Rapier?

3. I'm also still using my my buckler shield LOL. So... It's at 6. Any suggestions?

''Not giving you much info there in case you think I spoil something for you..''

Don't worry! Only thing that could spoil this game for me is if I cheated to get souls

EDIT: Agree with your sig! How much are you into cricket? I just spent the equivilent of a PS3 on buying a new bat muhuhuhuhuhahahahahaha!

Cricket fan!! I love the game, prob my fav sport. Yea good bats ain't cheap isn't it! I suppose you play often then? I hardly play anymore, but follow it all the time, like the IPL right now. Prefer ODIs and Tests though. The sig is a 1979/80 match between W.I. and NZ, Holding and John Parker. Holding lost his cool after some bad decisions apparently lol.

Anyway, to answer your questions:

1. You need Darkmoonstones to upgrade along the crescent path

2. Well, when you level up, which stats do you focus on? If it's magic heavy, then yea there's an advantage of using a crescent weapon as opposed to the Rapier because the magic damage dealt is greater because of the magic stat. Also the crecent weapons actually provide a boost to your magic stat.

3. Do you parry/riposte alot? I don't, so I usually go for a large shield, like Purple Flame, Large Brushwood or Adjudicator. Mainly Adjudicator because of HP regen. For parrying and stuff, well I'm really not too versed in those types..you can check the wiki

You get the crescent falchion by the first dual wielding katana black skeleton in 4-1. World 4 is also the place to farm darkmoonstones, and it's a real bitch, 'specially the Pure ones.

 

EDIT: unfortunately, I doubt we'll ever get a WM or PSMove cricket game on NTSC :( If we were on the sub-continent we would have stood a chance..

Whaa? It regens HP? Yeah, I don't parry either, so the small shield is kinda useless.

EDIT: Fighting with Crescent Falcion now. The Adjudicator is too heavy for me at the moment.
