Advice on pure knuck?

1
Author Content Date
Hi,

Just started playing again after a long time and decided to do knuck. Should I do pure knuck or use a STR weapon in there as well?

Thanks!

Better to go pure and get your dex up.

aye pure knuck for as long as you can

You want to keep your str low for best % gains

% needed for str and dex gains depends on your own str versus the str of the mob you are hunting, always try hunt mobs with at least higher str than yourself

if you have nice eva / dex items try hunt mobs with 30+ str or 50+str :p

Been using pure knuck and noticed that str is staying ahead of dex. Surely this isn't right for a dex weapon? Where can I find this picture Typhin?

Ah just found it. So what sort of stats are you looking at at cap if you do bow and axe?

That all depends on what you want. You can do 99% bow or 50% axe. It's all up to you.

Though people tend do bow mostly to keep dex high.

Hi Ghost. With the new level increase I heard it doesn't matter as much now what you do because it evens out later. Is this true?

I don't like having to go pure bow, I want to use spear but ppl keep saying I'll wreck my char.

So with the new cap can I let me str go 15-25 above my dex and it'll even out later after lvl 100?

If you’re wanting to keep dex high then do knuckler/bow after level 100 dex is fixed gain depending on weapon you’re using.

As creator of Tyrone(pure knuck), I can say if you wanted to speed-level to 95str with knuckle, that COULD work out ok for you. Not the best for exp usage/stat gain, but you wouldn't miss out on too much doing so. At that point you would need to change to bow as the diminished returns of knuckle are fairly awful.

Best method really is bow till you're "finished" with dex, then axe to desired STR.

Pure knuckle leveling I noticed dex was always approx 4.0-8.0 less than STR, always between those, untill 95dex where dex got further and further behind.

As a first character, the above method of switching weapons at 95str could be an answer, to get places a bit faster. Although you would probably want to make a super-noob at a later date anyway.

Yeah I'm at raps now and I've noticed that my dex is about 5 behind str. Odd that it's a dex weapon but you gain str more! I'm probably going to make another char after this one. I've never got further than the beginning of VOD mobs so would be cool to finally cap a char first.

So basically what you're saying is pure knuck till 95 str then switch to bow for the rest?

Bow untill you have desired dex and are ready to throw an axe on, knuckle just speeds up the beginning 10-95str, without too much loss overall.
