Celtic Heroes

Thanks for the advice guys. The problem with focus is I kind of need that much. My focus goes down sooooo quickly even with 80 points.

So I ended up starting over with a warrior, am now level 58 and have some more questions.

o I noticed some cool lux gear costing upwards of 200K gold. Is this stuff just unattainable unless you pay real
money to buy gold? I mean I grinded boars for like 10 levels and didn't get a single gold coin. I had to buy and
sell some plat items just to get a sword.

o Does nothing ever drop for your class? I got one sword drop in 58 levels and thats it. I didn't even use it cause it sucked.

Thanks! Loving the game but there doesn't seem to be a lot of reward and making any kind of substantial money is all but impossible.

Hi tgwaste.

Welcome to CH and the forums.

Just to add to some additional points to what has already been mentioned:

Lux: First and foremost, avoid buying from the lux vendor at all cost. You can usually find what you want by shouting you are buying, or by posting that you are buying in your world forum. You can expect to pay about 70% of the retail price.

Players are always upgrading their items, and you can benefit by buying their used gear. Linked to that, there is no need to overbuy.

To give you an example, I first bought a regen ammy around your level from another player for about 60% of retail. It was a Silver energy something (can't remember now). It was enough for me at the time, but as I leveled, I found it no longer met my needs. So I sold it to another player (for slightly higher than I bought it... luckily) and then bought a Golden Ammy on the second hand market. Recently I found that to be insufficient, so I sold it to someone, and bought a Heroic Ammy from a clanmate. This tiered approach allowed me to keep my usage and gold in check.

Gold: Gold and drops can be a bit of a pain in the game, yes, but try your best to find locations that give you both. Remember to sell your drops to vendors. At your level... I would recommend heading to the Faery field next to the Stonevale farm. You will be able to gain experience, gold (maybe 15g per mob) and they have a decent drop rate. You can sell the weapons and wings they drop for up to about 60 gold per item.

By staying in this location, you also give yourself the opportunity to force the spawn of a rare Faery (name in yellow) that will drop items you can sell for 3000 or so. This is persistence based... kill and kill in a circle around the field, and you should be rewarded eventually.

You could also go slaughter Catacombs

Here is an older thread about money... disregard the things I said about items for Warden: this is no longer applicable regarding many items: http://www.celtic-heroes.com/forum/view ... t=#p130611

Others: You mentioned your skills... but the thing you should really check is your abilities. Make sure you have what you need as a Warrior. I assume you would have gotten it in the starter quest, but You never can tell. There are also other defensive ability quests that will help your character.

From an old thread (I was writing to another Druid... you probably don't need to worry much about interrupts):

... defensive ability quests are obtained at "Ancient Statues" throughout the zones. These are not class specific. There are three in Lir's, one in Crookback, and one in Shalemont. For each of these quests you will have to collect some objects (gems, clovers, crowns, leaves, or stones).

Clovers you can pick up off the ground in the pasture by the Tavern.
Crowns are found by knocking over three other statues (Northern Pen in Lir's, Behind the Tower on Mage Hill in Shale, and at the 1st island in Stone).
Gems are a bit annoying as you will probably have to slaughter in Crookback to get them (I think you need 5 different gems).
Leaves are dropped from four Dryads (the walking trees) in Lir's.
Stones are dropped by 4 star mobs in Shale.

Statue locations:

Lir's - Near the waterfall next to the Tavern.
Lir's - Near the waterfall by the Castle/Jill the Cow Herder.
Lir's - Beside the windmill behind Highshore village.
Crookback - In Redstone Cavern.
Shalemont - Up the hill at Greygorge, around the corner from the missing party.

These abilities will start to level once you complete the quest. If you are level 55, you will start at 0/550. These abilities allow you the chance to shrug off enemy skills. So if a Connacht Mage casts a Fireball at you, you might withstand it. As you increase the ability, you will withstand/deflect etc. the skills cast on you, which, in turn, will lessen the interrupts that you would otherwise have. Melee attacks are not affected by these skills, however, so a Bloodgove hitting you with a staff will still have a high chance of interrupting you.

That's all off the top of my head, but feel free to ask for anything else. Too bad you are on Belenus... if you were on Herne I could help you out a little.

Hello Dersu,
Thank you so much for all the advice. It's a lot to take in so am going to get started on it. I very much regret picking Belenus as my server. The clans (at least the good ones) are not at all interested in a noob like me so I've been pretty much on my own. Ah well.

Thanks again!

there are many more skills that drop off of mobs but only rarely <-- REALLY rarely
for example some bears in fingals cave drop shatter skill or double attack
as of now youve got all the skills possible that can be BOUGHT off of the game
if you do not want to spend the time killing things for the skills buy it off of another player

also your stats as mentioned before have way too much focus and too much dex
dex is not useful for a warrior so dont put any in it
focus should be about at 40 or so

for skills dont use meditate or recuperate; they suck
instead put some points into bandage wounds for faster leveling
also dont use shield bash; its an energy drainer and it doesnt do very much damage
id suggest putting those points into bandage wounds as well and also maxing protective stance
you might wanna consider getting double attack or shatter as well
buy them off another player
they are great skills

as for the lux...itll take time and effort to farm that much gold
it gets easier to get gold as you get to higher levels and most dont get lux until lvl 100-ish
at your level the only way is to buy plat
boars dont drop gold btw

lastly no weapons ever drop for your class except from extremely rare bosses/mobs
most weapons people use are from shop

Thanks DR. how do I obtain bandage wounds? Isnt that for cleric and Druid?

I don't understand the energy thing. If I had 40 energy i would run out after like 3 attacks.

bandage wounds is for all classes,you get it in the starter quest early in the game. Go check your skills page.

As for energy,ill let someone else answer that.

40 points in focus

with 40 points in focus your actual amount of energy will be like 315-ish
as for bandage wounds its obtained by one of the first few quests in the game
you can buy it off of a trader near the crossroads leystone in lirs reach

you probably already have it check your skills page

I skipped most quests. Only focused on the statue quests that give abilities but still need to complete the gem stone one. I've killed like 200+ mobs and I still don't have all the damn stones.

Anyway I found the bandage wounds skill. Thanks so much!

Dustwither Catacombs also good place to get gems. Especially the elder priestesses in the 3 rooms or 4, 5* mobs.

The gems he needs are the stonethief in shalemont quests. Kill the stonethief not the regular mobs
