If it was me I would've for example switched places between the copal armor and the blue sand armor and had an enemy which would've made sense as there are kind of strong enemies with etheral and/or lightning damage in the zone.īut then again maybe the intention was to have players realize that some areas in the zone are to difficult and have them come back to it later. I never said that the first zone isn't a place to think about what your build should be or figuring out how the game works, I was saying that I think the blue sand is too good to be the first set you can get crafted. Same with the leyline and the fact that you can't start a faction quest? Secondly even if are struggling and getting killed by the first enemies, you're not very likely to be gathering the 800 silver and 10 blue sand as a solution since it takes quite a bit of exploration to make the money so I'm not sure it's relevant in this scenario, but let me know if you don't agree. I'm not sure if I understand your sentiment in regards to the post.įirst off there are no enemies that can one-shot the player on the roads in chersonese even if you're naked and have no buffs. Not sure why I felt I had to write all this, I guess I just wanted to get it out of my system.

If you have any ideas for why'd the make such a strong set available so early, or you agree/disagree with my sentiment then it'd be fun to hear about it :) I bet there are other similar changes to think up if spending more time on it but in any case it just doesn't make sense to me.

I'd also have the helmet only have 1 protection so it's easier to get an upgrade for it if you're looking to go into a tanky build.

against to incentivize the player to start thinking about how to make up for the lack of defense against it's elemental attacks. against only a few elements instead of all of them and put a difficult enemy in the zone that the armor set has no def. If I was a dev of the game I would have made it have def. In any case for many this set is a solid choice that you can stick to for a really long time if you'd like too, and to me it's weird that it's available so early in the game. If you plan on playing as a mage, a rogue, a hunter or other builds where you're looking for armor sets that tailor better to your playstyle then this armor set isn't exactly for you I suppose, unless you grab it temporarily until you finding better suited armor for your build.

Meaning it's it's still reasonable to use magic as a support tool while wearing the blue sand set. Same with the 10% mana cost decrease being very generous for a helmet with such good protection.Ĭomparing the helmet with something else that you might find around Chersonese, the Black Plate Helm, the sand helmet has roughly similar stats but 10% mana cost compared to the Black Plate Helm having 40%! IMO it's easy to get the blue sand and enough money to build the armor before moving out of Chersonese, it's a well rounded set which slows you down but with the Armor Training passive which halves the negative stamina and speed stats on heavy armor, it's really not much of a negative.
