How To Build A Rage Gladiator- A Guide

[Apoca1ypse]

ok, updated all of this. I'm still working out how to incorporate race, but that's a little complex to work in currently IMO, and they require more testing. For now, stick with a human :P

[Temuri]

in all guides are ''learn at start weapon skill to 10'', realy how to learn it to 10 when at 5 lvl shance to learn is alerady 50%? and at 6 lvl sure it will so 35%.. any tips? with this way i will learn 10 lvl weapon skill at 25 lvl or so.. at 8-9 lvl skill shance to learn will maube 10%..

[OogWasFles]

I myself mostly level them up to lvl 7 or 8, depending on how I feel like. Currently my lvl 17 War glad has her weapon-skill at lvl 9 and I think I'm gonna stick to that till about lvl 20. But that's a war.... For a Rage (just got a new Rage glad, also my first) I think I'm gonna lvl it like this:
Weapon - 7
Brute Force - 3
Then
Weapon - 8
Brute Force -5
Sunder Armor - 5
And then I'll just see :P

you should hit lvl 10 weapon skill between lvl 15 and 20. that's only a week or so now with the changes to tavern runs. lvl 9-10 is ~8% success rate on average, so yes it will be tough, but the benefit is that you can run higher activity/bloodlust and hit more often for higher damage.

If you chose to train just to lvl 8, which is the minimum i'd go, brute force is where your other points should be.

atm hes 9 lvl DW urk with 6 lvl weapon, 5 lvl brutal force, 5 lvl blood drunk, 5 lvl sunder armor. 10/10 in acticity/brutal, arena results 25-1-3, will try now lvlup weapon ... still wasnt able buy some good gladiator, all time low in agility/stamina at market

If he's low in Agility but high in Strength, you can try and run him Two-Handed? I personally only buy glads who cost more then 980 too, I recommend you the same. But sometimes there's this glad with incredible stats for a cheaper price... My main is such an example Also, since I've hit my 5 gladiators, I just started my new account. I think Im lucky with this start glad:
Str: 79 Int: 68
Agi: 61 Sta: 72
Siz: 72 Pres: 65
Chi: 81 (!!)

Tbh I'm not selling any of my current glads unless I see a massive 1k+ gold glad turn up and even then it better have some really well rounded stats, I don't even want to see one massive one, just everything over average. *Picky*

Learn with what you have, and then apply it to a monster when one arrives.

Unfortunately these monsters do not appear in the slave market fast enough, or just seem not to appear at all -_-

[Apoca1ypse]

yeah, them's the breaks. I look every day and have spent silly amounts of tokens on seeing new slaves. oh well.

I think i only have 1 glad worth over 1000gp. Rarg cost under 900 and came with 88 str. needless to say, he's only good for moving heavy shit and hitting things He still does ok though.



like I said, just run what you brung (yes, bad english, but it rhymes :3) and see how you go.
