Happy powergaming :P and please let me know i u find any mistakes.

Cheers,

True! I just noticed, but since you are raided, it seems that on Storyline it matters none. But starting with reading seems to be a big advantage. Ty regardless

[Fanest]

@HAHA funny fish hat (DG) I think only vocation affects your starting gear, but you can quickly check this yourself

[HAHA funny fish hat (DG)]

is there a more detailed guide on storyline starting gear? i'm having trouble finding it

[Fanest]

@Mksiege You can min/max in peace ;)

[Mksiege]

Is there any gameplay/dialogue impact choosing between Phlegmatic, Melancholic, and such? Same for the virtues? Or can you just minmax in peace?

[Klyskada]

@Alpharius I was responding to the person below me, but yes the it i am referring to is starting stuff you have.

[Alpharius]

@Jallday It being what? starting equipment?

[Klyskada]

I think (think being the keyword here) that it is based off your vocation. Its for sure not random as i made 2 characters exactly the same way and they had the same stuff.

[Astrylan]

Sooo, what about starting weapons? Does this game base it off Weapon Prof instead? Or did you just not include it. I know the Storyline is different, but sandbox mode should indeed have different weapon starts based off your what you pick as your Father's and your own Vocation. For instance, does picking Poacher NOT start you with a bow every time? is it random in VC:RF?

wow
