White Knight Chronicles 2

[Tobi]

Damn, Pirian, saw you're GR25 already... how close to 26 now? Lol

[Ragnus]

Jebus Christ. I just fought the first boss in WKC2 and it took me five tries since Miu kept ketting AOE one shotted.

Anywho. Level 39 right now and I have Longsword maxed out except for two hidden skills which won't unlock for some reason. working on getting the shields in the elemental tree and sticking the rest into bow.

Does the free georama leveling trick still work? I'm sitting on about 80k gilda and my georama is only level 3.

[Tobi]

Need to do Resident Requests to unlock the last skills in LS Skill Tree, and don't bother with elemental shields in Elemental tree...

Georama trick still works as it did in the first one.

Have fun with some of bosses later on

Also, make sure to learn enemies physical weak points, aka Thrust, Slash, and Strike. You only wanna use skills that mobs and bosses are weak too. If you see Orange or w/e color it is numbers show up over mob/boss when using skills that mean its weak to that type of attack, and if they have elemental weakness on top of that you'll do even more damage.

I'm gr26 now

[Pirian]

Was playing a lot because of my break, but school starts back up so that will drop off. I did get a shitload done, but it is kind of depressing knowing how much more there is left to do

[Tobi]

Grats on 26 And yeah, farming mats for +20 gears gonna take quite awhile... I still haven't finished +20ing any of my current stuff except 2 pieces, I just don't have the motivation I did awhile back to farm all this stuff, lol... Oh well, not like I'm in a hurry to max out my gears or anything, plus I'm still waiting on some of the DLC gears to get here

[Pirian]

Any point to ranks gr27-30 atm?

[Tobi]

Well, GR28 is good for buying lv7 Guardian Gems for upgrading armor, since they're a bitch to get from drop/quest rewards, but besides that, nah. Once you hit GR26, really no reason to continue grinding GRP.

[Ragnus]

Oh, so the free georama upgrade is a one shot deal to update your town. I have to upgrade it normally in the offline game still and actually spend funds to get better residents and stuff since the recruitment runs off your offline georama. =/

[Krazy]

It's not that bad, I sold a ton of chromium/guardian pearls and elemental drops and came up with the gold for a level 10 Georama pretty easily.

[Pirian]

Also, any point in upgrading georama now besides the old geoarmor and the "discounted" materials?

[Tobi]

Not that I know of. And I'm glad too, lol. I got tired of changing job stats around so many times in WKC: IE just so I could bind my GR14/15 Armor

[Pirian]

Bunch of new quests got added. A few of them are actually kind of challenging, too

[Ragnus]

Hit a giant roadblock right now.

Spoiler: show

Leonard is in his coma and I'm doing the Yulie side mission. Leonard was my tank and, unfortunately, the only tank I made. So I'm stuck with Eldore(Longsword / Elemental) and Yulie (Staff holding with no skills, divine/elemental hybrid) along with my LS user with half assed bow skill and the Van Haven Wastes are tearing me to shreds. I suppose I can drop Eldore for Azure armor guy since he's a SS user though...

Are there any other training dummies in the game or do I have to NG+ to get the chance to use the one on the airship again?

If you are able to: get someone with a bow and teach them up to heal 3 (highest I had when I beat the game), as well as angel hymn and spirit hymn, and any kind of bow. On their bar put all the healing skills, holy light, angel hymn, spirit hymn, and sting and that's it. Set their fighting style to heal first.

Next, get someone with a staff and give them eclipse gate and +apocalypse, and set them to the attack with full force command.

For your third character, you have options. I found it fastest to use axe, but bow is OK too, you'll just kill slightly slower. If you go bow then make sure that that character has all the skills of the first bow user, but add in sting/triple nock(or w/e that thing is called) for your piercing, burst tip/blast tip for your blunt, and angel wing for your slashing (really only use this to knock big guys off balance, otherwise it is usually better to use triple nock on slashing weak enemies). Also make sure you have Holy Light/raise on your bar.

Axe is what I used for all of the story, though. The extra damage over bow was just too great to pass up. Shatter/Nightmare for blunt, Fullswing/Deathdriver for slashing, smash/tackle for piercing, sky strike/Sky Gasher/Thunder Jolt to deal with flying shit, heavy cannon to hit enemies while running, +aftermath for aoe around yourself, warcry, +rallying cry, arm shatter for bringing attack down on big enemies and armor shatter for bringing defense down, blind swing for big enemies that are staggering, and crowd control for after you've been fighting for a bit and the enemy has been on you for a while. Also put on the highest healing/+healing skill you have, as well as holy light and raise.

With that setup on axe, and those two as support, I easily flew through the game and beat it at 55~.

[Ragnus]

Hmm. That seems doable with my current characters. I was thinking about getting rid of Leonard as Sword and Board since he's pretty useless at keeping hate. Yulie is easily swappable to the staff role you have since it's only changing her skill set. My character is only half assed leveling in Bow right now so it looks like LS for now until I get more stuff. Caesar is already skilled in Axe for my game also.

I'll have to look at my Scardigne. Hope I didn't dump all of his skills into stuff yet for this part of the game.

[Tobi]

Yeah, those new quests are pretty challenging, especially Rival Survival and Root of Evil, but I hate Root of Evil more... I got so much crap to farm now since they released so many new quests all at once. I gotta farm 76 Squirming Husks for my mage shit now

[Ragnus]

Well, got a friend hooked on the game now. He's finishing WK1 and getting WK2 soon.

wtf? I think it took 10~ free ruins runs before I saw a single squirming husk, lol.

[Tobi]

My bad, I meant 72, lol. Soliel Top and Pants take 36 husks each to +20, so yeah... I regret not farming them when my friends asked me if I wanted to tag along Husks gonna be last thing I'll farm though. Right now just working on finishing up my Axes at +20, just got 2 more left to do. Also, I'm thinking of rebirthing again and picking up Bow again, a lot of these new quests Bow are really good for, but since new patch, Bows are rare now, since like everyone is Mage or LS or w/e now. Hopefully I can get close to +20ing Veda/Madoras Staff, just need to run RS2 for blue mats I always get low fucking amount too, like 2-4 and that quest is pain in the ass for such a low amount.
