some items (where to farm etc) and weapon stones (which should i use)

[crynow]

Hello Grim Dawn players,

I've started a nightblade after I have failed to kill Cronley's Nemesis with my 2 handed shaman(15k dps but still failed to kill the boss).

I'm looking for Bloodkeeper's Mark and Coat - i've killed Cronley at least 100 times :( and now i'm lvl 29, soon lvl 30 and i'd like to get the rest of the set.

And one more major problem, WHAT STONES SHOULD I USE ON MY WEAPONS?! At this moment I use COLDSTONE X2 on 2 OMEN swords and looking for cold/frostburne dmg. Not sure if it's the best build.

Looking for any piece of advice you can offer. Thanks!

I always use 1 coldstone plus aura and one viscouis spikes plus aura in all my d.w. builds .

I think the Bloodreaper's Mark, or even all Epic Medal in general are a bit rare, i still haven't found one on any of my four characters, but for the two Coat i found one was in the Cronley's Hideout and the other was on one of the boss before entering the Hideout (i still have one taking the dust in my stash if you don't have luck to find it).

For Melee Weapon, i can't really help you much i'm more on Ranged weapons but yes Coldstone are the best if you want Cold/Frostburn Damage on them and the Omen Swords have a very good skill (and the % Attack speed is always a good thing to have) but keep an eye for green weapons, some are so much better than the blue ones (that's what i do for my Saboteur, there isn't any good Gun +X% Fire Damage and with a good Skill, so i keep my eyes open and already found a green gun with +28% Fire Damage, +17% Attack Speed and 10% Chance on attack to launch a fireball).

Noted, thanks both for the info

Hah! All I've found is Bloodreaper's Mark and I've been unable to find any of the others. FFS :D

Ouch:))

Other question. How you get LIFE STEAL? On nightblade? I've seen many videos and some players had insta health refill O.o

[smeg]

Components: Oleron's Blood and a Vicious Spikes. Ofc with some nice completion bonusses ;) You'll know why I recomment the blood when you're using it. The skill it gives is amazing.

edit: oh arf, you're doing cold, I didnt finished reading I guess. Those two ^^ are for physical/piercing.

Find it on Epics, mostly. Lifesteal was recently nerfed into the ground, so most of the videos you've been watching are likely outdated. Some skills provide lifesteal too, though, and you can find remote %s on the Haunted Steel and Hollowed Fang components.

Haunted steel, ofc, I forgot that I have that relic learned (never used it tho)

Warp Shard[gracefuldusk.appspot.com]
Chains of Anguish[gracefuldusk.appspot.com]
Thirsting Maw[gracefuldusk.appspot.com]
and Omen[gracefuldusk.appspot.com] would probably be the best for Blademasters. Other epics (maybe ten more?) have lifesteal too.

Wierd it shows it as 7% Lifesteal, I have one with 9%

Every item in the game has a %Variance modifier (for example, 22%) that is rolled against each individual stat on the item. You can have Warp Shards with 5%, 6%, 7%, 8% lifesteal or 9%. But the average for the item will be 7%.
