Skia Saber Crafter (Alchemy Shield) Needed

The augs are trash but even the NQ blows other MAB off hands out of the water

Looking for someone to craft it for me, I got all the mats.

Make hq2 and hq1
looks like they add roughly ~10k dmg each to leaden salute
without augs

I keep seeing people talk about the sword for leaden but cant for the life of me figure out where you would actually use it. Sure they will buff leaden but would nurf the hell out of your tp gain vs rostam/crep(gleti). Biggest use for leaden I personally have is statues in dyna, but not gonna give up nag on normal mobs for leaden who already 1 shots them.

You wouldn't it's just hard cope. (don't let me dissuade you from spending 300m like a dumbass though)

Oh jee an extra 30 MAB omg sooooooooooo good.

WHO CARES BEEEEEEEG NUMBER GO BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

When some people have nothing else to buy, they just min/max. I get where they are coming from as well as you.

what about when you are shooting instead of meleeing? i get it isnt a common thing, but you could maybe offhand it then while mainhanding path A rostam?

I heard it's a 1/6 craft with the right setup
Anyone paying 300mil is insane

Off handing is still very effective hq1 or hq2 aug free
The fact that you could wear both is cool too.

Leaden is pretty reliable for making solid skillchains in Limbus
Especially with nothing buffing it.

It's an offhand so the rostam isn't relevant.

You think that taking off gleti/crep will nerf the hell out of your tp gain? How much do you think 6% TA is doing for your tp, in the grand scheme?


I generally despise numbers like "1/6" and hate when people ask "how many attempts does it take?" because of the nature of shield crafting. It's very difficult to quantify "an attempt" of anything or say 1/x with anything.

It's definitely not worth 300m though, unless your server's material prices are INSANELY HIGH.

Its a T1 synth (10% hq rate). No its not worth 300m in the least bit, but with matters being 2.5m each roughly (on my server), and leather 1.3m it adds up quick, really painful if multiple hq1. Feel like price will settle around 30-40m. Material drop rate being 15% hurts.

Hq1 is still very good in this instance
I don't have the numbers in front of me but when I added it to the python calc I think hq1 was ~10k with the hq2 was maybe 1-2k higher
No augments

Would you prefer 2(hq2)/12? Attempts

What's an attempt? A terra crystal? An Alabaster Material?

You will absolutely not get 2 HQ2 out of 12 terra crystals.

You might get it out of 12 Alabaster Materials, but it might take 8 Murky Material, so is that 8 "attempts", or 12 "attempts"?

When talking about something like Rostam, what is an "attempt"? The synth mats break at wildly different rates.

It's a meaningless term.

12 synths.

Never, ever, ever going to happen unless you have 6 horseshoes up your ***.

Kinda not how crafting works lol. its a T1... 10% chance you go 1/1 on HQ

Implicitly it is at least a tier 1 synth, given the fact people have made a tier 2 result, and tier 2 hq rate seems impossible. If the mats aren't always lost on failure (normal 50%) then it should HQ as often as JSE necks, weapons, and Limbus armors. It's not like we lack experience with those, so apply whatever heuristic feels right to you.

I've gotten three HQ2s out of a stack of mats and also gotten one out of forty. Making one sword, you are unlikely to experience the true rate anyway

I've played enough Balatro to know that 1/4 does not mean you'll get it in 4.

1/6? yeah lol

I cant think of any instance where i've ever been in a RA set and using leaden lol. sortie and arebati both use RA but last stand. I guess ongo? but your there for /rollsSC not dmg lol.

If you're statue hunting in Dynamis and only using RA for TP is the only thing I can think of.

Also wave 1/2/3 boss in Dynamis, same reason.

Kinda niche, but a couple use cases I guess.

Leaden already does 99k to dyna stats, sure a resist exists (still one shot) but not a great reason to buy

(*)It'll probably be undisputed hotshot champion, if that ever turns meta, I guess. Some day. Some year.

im with eiryl already one shot them fairly easily even with just tp gun lol. cant speak for dyna boss, i melee on them and use savage.

I can see why players would want tactical overkill for there Leaden Salute. Limbus fodder comes to mine; closing the gap to that 99k ceiling with consistency, and if you're party makeup is short on some buffs it should help for sure.

If you must know, I'm returning and it's a lot easier for me to eke out better Leadens because I'm so far being on Savage gear and there's not much that can improve that that can be bought with gi

Edit: not to mention sunk cost on Death Penalty, etc

Eiryl is a nonstop source of hilariously stupid quotes.

You will never hit 99k on a dynamis statue (unclaimed one). Maybe if you have like...bolster and 2 MAB bubbles up, after pulling it, with 3k TP, wearing DP, you could do it.

With DP at ~1k TP, I'll be lucky to hit 35~40k. It's still enough to 1shot (of course), but IMO the nice thing about overkilling the statues is that if you get a 1/2 resist, you can still kill the statue. That makes a big difference over not killing it, especially if you're nuking unclaimed statues, and EXTRA especially if you're doing it miles away from your group (statue crusher).


Hot shot is insanely good in lots of places like Sortie & Dynamis [D], ironically. It caps 99,999 all the time and blows Savage/Leaden out of the water. This weapon is BiS for Hot Shot, assuming you don't need the racc from Kustawi (you might). Again, weird takes from a dude who doesn't play the game.

99k / 40k - one shot whats the difference

Already explained in the post but if you need it said again, more explicitly:

If you're hitting 99k and you get a 1/4 resist, you'll still kill (by the way, dynamis statues have about ~18k HP?). If you're hitting 40k and you get a 1/4 resist, you won't kill the statue.

So...there's a difference. Hitting 99k would also mean there's no point to increasing your damage (your point), whereas hitting 30k means there is a point to increasing your damage (the opposite of your point). So...the only difference is making your point completely *** stupid and make no sense.

Other than that though, no difference.

If youre worried about 1/4 resist and you do 40k the sword doesn't get you out of not one shotting.

You need to double your damage.

If the worry is half resist, 20k clears 18k, sword does nothing there either.

Its good yes, and again i havent ran a parse, but id wager that the extra MAB from 1/2 of these would not outweigh the loss of tp options from other weapons. Unless you are in a 100% RA situation.

I'll take that wager, how much would you like to wager?

How much TP do you think 6% TA will give you in the average ~4 attack rounds it takes to get TP? Compared to 50 MAB...I don't think it's even remotely close to competitive.

Gleti's knife and Crep Knife also have 0 magic damage.

The PDL will work on hot shot too. I would expect 103 MAB and 9 PDL to outright win unless already hitting the damage cap.
