Damn with gold being so hard to make, I don't think I could afford that. Oh well. More looting I guess. Nice to know that. I wonder if that works with other armor sets.

Spellbreaker is in the Urn quest area. (I am not there on my current play through so don't remember exact location).

Topsider is in the Deeproads area

Keening is in Denereth(sp)

Basically if you sell your stuff to a vendor, if you come back later it will have been upgraded to a tier appropriate to your current level. Be warned: it is entirely possible for your stuff to be too expensive for you to buy back/too difficult to use if you do this!

Does that work with weapons as well?

Anything that can exist in a higher tier material, will be boosted to that material at the merchant if you are high enough level. The upgrades don't happen uniformly though, as far as I know.

Can you still "backstab" with a long sword and if you've dumped dext. points in a ton and little strength would it be better to just stick with daggers?

You can backstab with anything.
With the hotfix, stick with daggers. Without the hotfix, it doesn't matter since daggers are bugged.


Thanks.  So what is the best dagger out there?

The Rose's Thorn (Dragonbone)

The Fang is pretty decent too, is it not? You get one enchantment spot for it.

The best Dagger-only combo (for backstabbing) is supposedly Roses Thorn + Crow Dagger

Damn I got Starfang and Blood Dragon Armor. I am only level 12 and I already got the best equipment. I guess getting better runes for the sword is all I can do.

Blood Dragon is not the best armor. You have plenty of room to improve.


In your opinion which is best for tankage?

I have Jugernaught on my Arcane Warrior, so I'm considering alternatives for Allistair my tank. Wade's? Legion?


I assume you do not have Shimmering Shields yet, then? Because if/when you do, Juggernaut is useless.

The dagger found in Shale's quest is the 2nd best dagger in the game, I think..

The reason they (the number crunchers for rogues, not me) say it's best is beause Crow Daggers give +15% crit/backstab. Since backstab damage is based on your primary weapon, having it in your offhand is a flat +15% damage for the vast majority of your attacks. That increase beats anything else, daggerwise.

The Rose is from Wade's shop and Crow Daggers are random drop, I believe.

That axe paired with Rose Thorn is considered the best non-Dagger-only combo (for backstabbing).

I wish they'd still let us access the other forum, a lot of good number crunching, tactics, and build threads were on there. Now I have to rely on my (spotty) memory. :(

Since I wanted my DPS warrior to have the 2h version of Starfang, I gave Alistair the Keening Blade and he has been doing quite well with it so far, that and Duncan's shield is a great pair.

I wound up using Starfang all the way through the game - swapping out different plus 5 runes times 3 - wound up settling on electricity/fire/frost - was surprised that this combo seemed to work well in mist every situation.
