Mabinogi Fomor vs Normal Guide by bellcourt

Mini guide on choice of weapon as an advanced beginner to mid level
Efficiency vs. cost

A/N:
Open source, feel free to add your own tips. I’m sure I messed up somewhereD:
Focusing on warriors, because main is a warrior

What you will need:

* Patience and time for a bit of commerce
* Holy Water (always bless)
* Money for upgrades
* A nice enchanter (you will need him/her for one r9 enchant). G13 persona Claudius plus INT title to reach 200 INT (for easy enchants you do yourself)
* Strider enchant on your boots (can be received by doing Sketch mission in Belvast)
* Money for reforge kits (5k each)

Amount of money you might need:
Upgrades + Reforge: ~ 300k

This is my personal opinion. It is not about the strongest weapons, but the money-wise easiest to afford while still being decent.

First do commerce (recommended up to 100k ducats).
The buy a few Fomor Broadswords and Reforge them. Go for Max Damage Level (it’s pretty easy to get). At Rank3 Level 3 you get +6 Max.
Either enchant first or upgrade first, it’s your decision. Yet if you fail enchant and upgraded first, you have to pay the upgrade fees again.
Upgrade:

Go for this upgrade sequence:

216
Highest Max Damage
Low Balance
Requires High DEX

Ranald’s Broad Sword Enhancement
80 / 28,700 G
Annealing 2
13 / 5,200 G
Annealing 2
13 / 5,200 G
Nerys’ Broad Sword Modification
55 / 21,300 G
Nerys’ Broad Sword Modification
55 / 21,300 G

Attack 0-73 Critical 29%
Balance 23% Durability 7
216 / 81,700 G

With the Strider boots you get +10% Balance. Together with the fomor broadswords you have 40% balance in the end only from equipment. Once you rank Combat Mastery or Sword Mastery a bit you will be fine. Glass Fragment (+5% Balance) on the armor or clothes is also a nice addition.

Enchants:
Wolf Hunter’s Raven (max roll +14 Max)
or
Goddess’ Caliburn (has anyone every tried that one on fomor swords?) (+18 Max, +10 crit)
or
Godess’ Hoodlum (max roll +20 max)
or
Wolf Hunter’s Hoodlum (max roll + 18 max)

Hoodlum (rA) can be bought at Trading Imp for 10k ducats. You’ll need rA Charge for it to activate (33 AP – thanks
Aliyah).

Do the Sketching mission in Belvast for Wolf Hunter’s and Raven. You may also buy the scrolls for around 20k-50k.
