Be the Barbarian!: Axe/WP Brute guide

The critters on that hill run 38-40, typically if a level 40 is the only guy in the area and around for a few things spawn to 40, but it's a better bet for a 38-39 though. Awesome fun for that range, though, since rarely in CoV outside of padded mishes do you get to consistently fight huge spawns.

I'll check that mish--I'm not a major farmer, but like I said, sometimes it's fun to fight huge spawns just because you CAN.

Here's a quick example IO build, no slotting changed, something that should be very affordable under 20 million. The only key is a bit of patience. If you went to buy everything on this list, today, at the same level....you'd pay way more than necessary.

Expect to get everything over a period of days of a week, and if something's a few levels lower than what you wanted, probably not a big deal, really. For example, the difference in price between a Serendipity def/end at level 40 (where that set maxes out) and a level 38 is fairly stupid given the tiny difference in def and end reduction between the two.

Goal in the build was to boost things like HP and Regen, along with recharge and recovery as possible, but mostly to make each individual power as strong as possible. Without breaking the bank.

Only expensive stuff is Crushing Impact and a couple of the less insanely expensive Numina's Conv. Those are a bit pricey sometimes even if you are patient and flexible, but affordable inside your 20 million budget and worth it. Salvage for the Scirocco's sets are a little crazy, sometimes it's worth it to slot below level 40s on those, different salvage requirements.

Much of the rest is pretty dirt cheap, worth having but nothing to get too concerned about later if you replace it with better.

Thank you! So I did a mix between that mission I told you about and playin the market. I'm up to 32 mil now. I really appreciate you taking the time to map something out for me.

Just to chime in, making money in CoX is spectacularly easy if you have the patience to play the market a bit. I recommend hitting up the market forum and checking it out. There are several good guides and really if you just post a thread and ask, you'll get a ton of great advice (and plenty of flamers, but you can just ignore them )

My quick advice? Do some quick research to find a recipe that sells for ~1m inf and look at the price of the crafted IO. Usually this will be in the 4-5m range. That means a quick 2-3m profit after the cost of salvage, crafting and fees. Buy, craft, sell, profit. Pro tip: Watch the dates on the last 5 to make sure the crafted IO will sell. You'll want all 5 within about 2 days or less.

Thanks for the advice. I worked with the market a little bit and so far had a bit of success. I spent about 25 mil IOing most of my attacks and a couple others. Now I will take your new idea to try and build my money back up for future IO's.

This is my build... not the best buy relatively cheap one and alot of fun to play

If anybody has pointers on improving it without spending a ton, I'm all ears.
