Niiiice! That guy basically has like 5 stats in the 90's!
Damn,luckily I didn't buy him. Seems like the prices are +100g compared to the previous ones.
Do you guys think it'll be for a limited time or permanent (the upgrade in slaves I mean).
Normal slave today may have average (or even minimal) 80 at all stats as is seems. These 57, 70, 72 are not fatal, but for what?
I'm sure, You will find better.
93 71 70 65 85 64 64
1030 gold normal slave make a strong war?
could be powerful in shadow and myst school but dont have the trophies thoughts?
How is this for a normal slave? What specialty and race would you choose for it? I'm sorry if the question doesn't belong here I'm kinda new.

He is going to be a Cheating Bastard Trixter eventually
Just picked up a slave for 1248gp :). Has anyone found one that is more expensive or do we know what the price "cap" is for premium slaves?
When i Buy a Gladiator i usually wait for the gold cost. 1040 /1080 none premium Gladiators are usually able to hit 80 to 90 in all stats (once upgraded) and a good size of 70+
Don't think i have had a premium Gladiator before but i know if i did i would make sure it come around the cost of 1180 / 1200 at least. (that's my advice)
For regular glads anything is fine :D even 40 size... eventually you will get him to retirement.
For premium slaves, get one with at least 1200 with all stats over 89, except you're going for some extreme build. You can get away with extreme builds, but thats more for experienced players.
With overall good stats you can change your skills/builds without sucking :D imagine a war glad... so many builds with many different stats needed for each one.
I see war as a Tank only option me =) wish we got more skills once we hit level 50. like a extra 50 more skill slots. so we could change it up a bit have more personality to it =)
Is it just me or is getting a good premium slave next to impossible? Its been weeks now ive been sitting with no gladiator, trying to get a decent first premium and only twice did I even see one that reached 1200gp. And they had some low stas in the 70's still. Do I just have over high expectations?
Could just be your expectations. Personally I only touch 1180+ slaves for premium... will only dip lower if they have a really interesting stat spread. The general rule of thumb I follow is around 610-ish or higher for total stat sum, as well as 90+ in an offensive stat (str/agi). Certain stats being lower like in the 70s isn't an issue depending on the glad type. For ex. Rage's are fine with lower Int, a defensive glad can be fine with lower Pres, and a defensive shadow/trixter can be fine with lower Strength. Race can also make up for a lower stat, for ex. going Urk as a rage to make up for lower stamina. Would also never take a premium glad with < 80 size/stamina though.
Hope this gives you a better idea!
Yeah pretty much looking for 1200+ but that does give me a bit better idea of the stats to look for. Wanting to make a shadow/trixter as I haven't tried yet, so thats the plan
Well... as you know Ive been waiting on getting my first premium slave, and being pretty picky. Highest I've gotten so far was today, coming in at 1191 gold:
His stats are:
Str: 86
Int: 89
Agi: 87
Sta:87
Size: 92
Pres: 78
Chi: 68
Really wanted to try trixter but thinking the low pres and chi wouldnt work well
never pick a premium slave with stats under 80. Have some with 90-100 across the board and 69 chi ....... well... you will regret it in the end :(
Better substitute 5 point in the main stat and take 20 in some sidestats. IF you will find one that suits you.
Seems a moot point lol... I've been trying every day since February and havent gotten anything great.... heck only got above 1200 (barely) 3 times and they all had a stat below 75.
I'd double check your expectations when it comes to recruitment I think. Ultimately it comes down to how you build your gladiator that makes it successful or not. There are gladiators from pre-buffed-stat era that consistently make top 10-top 20 in Blood Gods each season. I've definitely had "sub par" glads that surprised me with their performance given a few tweaks in their gear/strats
Follwing the advice given in the replies earlier... including your own Bloodbath. 1180+ for premium with about a 610+ or so total stat line and no size/stam below 80. Really nothing below 80 and at least one offensive stat 90+.
Havent really gotten any to meet those requirements sadly.
Yeah I feel that. I mean I look for that 1180+/around 610 stats as a personal thing. Since I already have a stable of premium slaves competing in Blood Gods so any new slave I get I want to be a major competitor. But in the end, having a premium slave and working it up to Primus/BG is more fun than doing nothing. I've wasted so many premium slaves on Slayer build experiments lol. Anyways, feel free to message me in-game with any slaves you see that might be viable and I'll give you my 2 cents. Hope your slave market luck turns around!
Bloodbath is right.
I too burned through my premium slaves for wild slayer builds xD
It all depends on your goal. If you want a competitive glad that is capable to fight in the top 10, than you can take any glad with 80 in each stat (many "purple" gear glad reach the top 10).
But if you want a real shot at Nr.1 than you should be really picky! And always consider this! You cant get experience without a glad allready fighting in full orange gear in Blood Gods.
Get one "semi" good premium slave that compliments your build ( for example my theatric has all main stats agi,stam,pres over 95, but 69 in Int....) he works well for his build, but I feel the lack of int in his stats almost every fight.... :( he is good...but great.
Stil never skip SIZE! especially if your glad wears medium or heavy armor.
Thank you both for the additional advice... here is a question: Right now I have no gladiators. I have a premium slave to buy that I have been hunting for a while. If I refresh the slave market, it gives me all normal gladiators. If I were to purchase one or more of those normal gladiators (in order to get some guys to play with now) will I still go back to the premium slaves offered the next day?
After the refresh you will stil have new premium slaves to chose from. I think the game displays it as a "normal" slave even if its premium, just change to blacksmith and back to the slave market and you will see the same stats on your "normal" slaves but with the premium label.
In better words, if you have a premium slave in the market you are forced to get him first before you can get normal slaves again. At least that was the case on my last 5 slaves.
After you got your first "Testing" premium slave (I cycled through 2-4 premium slaves for each Glad I have now in Blood gods before commiting to the final ones) take all the normal slaves with any stats and playtest them till retirement. Even if you are an all rage guy, make your normal slaves every other class so you have first hand experience for future fine tuned strats ;) and dont look at your win/lose ratio on your normal slaves.
Ahh ok, I see what you mean... hmm now to decide how many times I wanna use trophies to reset slave market lol
After you have 3-4 premium slaves fighting, you can get really picky with your 5th slave. You can easily burn through 2000 trophies without any 1200 slaves :(
Edit (I checked my theatric yesterday, now i know why he sucks so bad vs shadows... he actually has Int at 67 and Chi at 69..:eek: ) so you can get at least ones a year a top 3 spot with such abyssmal stats.
And please tell us if you picked your glad, its always fun to watch young glads climb up the ladder.
Yeah I'm going to have to get less picky real soon, just so I can get a few glads on the sands working towards my next prems. We'll see what today brings heh, I'll let you know when I get something, anything lol.
This one at 1179 and a total of 609 is the best I've seen in a long while, and I still hate the AGI:
Str: 89
Int: 82
Agi: 80
Sta:91
Size: 90
Pres: 93
Chi: 84
Im not sure I wanna take him, the low agi/int just vexes me lol
The stam and size are nice on it for sure, but presence being high isn't that exciting since there is an abundance of pres on a lot of pieces of gear. If the Pres and Agi were switched this would be nice but I think it's not high tier. Regarding the low agi/int, just remember not every stat can be very high of course, you only need stats relevant to the type of glad you want to build. For ex. one of my latest glads I have climbing, Zhevron is 92-80-97-90-87-74-82 (602) which could be higher overall total but is still effective due to stat spread.
You could for sure take this slave to Blood Gods and compete though.
After waiting and trying for a ridiculous amount of time I finally have settled on my first premium slave. Cost of 1204 and looks like so:
Str: 85
Int: 89
Agi: 92
Sta:93
Size: 84
Pres: 97
Chi: 76
I really wish pres and chi were switched, but after waiting so long im taking this guy and running lol. Now what to make him...
Well you can work with him pretty good. High Sta and good Size almost enough to fully wear medium armor without penalty.
My first impression would be a "theatric" with almost any build, maybe a bit weak for the classic "counter attack build".
Or a good old trixster build!
Maybe a heavy armor slayer or a energy drain shadow, both classes would work fine and the low chi wont cripple them to much.
A war glad could also work, but its a bit of a stretch with the size stat.
I personally like the idea of an energy drain shadow or even trixter, but like Aphexii said, this slave can do a lot of different things outside of War with the size issue.
Im curious guys... how does one select these other classes you are speaking of? Slayer, trixter, shadow.... ??
you have to unlock those three classes in the "stable upgrade" where you upgrade all other things under "Staff", just scroll down and you see a 1999 trophie wall behind each class :D
The good news are, you dont really need all three unlocked to use one class to it fullest potential! As of right now no hybrid Slayer/Shadow/Trixster got anywhere near the top 10....just buy one and enjoy :D
Ahhhh duh, I should have known to look there. Heh, oops..... thank you :)
