[@SilvverReign]

Shame you stopped making videos I'm watching your Drk videos now, really helping my Drk I returned to the game and just leveled the job. Thanks! 🙏

[@rikipedia9745]

Yo! Yeah, busy with real life stuff But 'll get back into it eventually! Glad to hear you choose drk and enjoy vana'diel!

[@zadinxp9245]

Your videos are getting better and better. Great work , dude!

[@rikipedia9745]

Thx dude! Pretty pleased with this one 😅

[@DesperiaPSO]

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for this. Getting back into the game, and been working on this set. ^^

[@rikipedia9745]

No worries! It's probably somewhat relevant, until you get your hands on stuff from Odyssey :)

Thx!

I like the pace of your videos and the calmness of your voice. too much shouting on youtube these days. So the Lycurgos is worth the upgrade on DRK then? I could use it on DRK and WAR.....but whats your opinion on Ullr vs Khonsu grip...would you upgrade the bow before the grip?

[@rikipedia9745]

Thank you :) Lycurgos definitely worth it for DRK! On warrior it's not as good, it's ok though. The single handed axe is better for warrior or Naegling of course. But even if that's the case it's definitely not a bad choice for a war anyways. I'd upgrade ullr first, pretty sure it has some more stats over the grip, but I could be wrong.

[@ggibbs5585]

Thanks for the guide. I'm pretty new to drk. Would you recommend Liberator? I figure if i was going to start it i might as well have he best weapon for it. Is liberator that much better than any of the other options?

[@rikipedia9745]

Yo yo, all ultimate weapons have their specific moments where they shine. You can make any of them work, but for pure dmg most of the time, Caldbolg is your go to. But Liberator is probably the best scythe, and using a scythe open up so much more for DRK. I'd just make w/e you would have the most fun with

And eventually you might catch the gotta catch em all bug that so many of us playing XI has, you never know lol

@@rikipedia9745 Last question i promise. In this guide is there a reason why you choose the ambu great axe over the Scythe or Great Sword? or is it just preference?

nice! I was wondering how to solo farm Omen more efficiently, aoe GA could be the solution to that.

[@dkjohns777]

This is no where near a beginners guide...

[@rikipedia9745]

In this day and age, I'd say it is 117 sparks gear, 119 bayld gear, wkr and skirmishes gear you use so briefly nowadays if at all. And most of this gear is available to anyone just willing to grind a little bit of the most basic stuff

[@phoenixdragoon]

I got to agree, this starts off recommending weapons and grips that will take months of investment to build, oriented around a 550-job-point spell. This is a good guide and I learned a lot from it, but it is of very little immediate use to a genuine beginner, particularly if they don't already have another super-powerful job to work with.

[@rikipedia9745]

@Chris Parker you get 1 for free pretty early on from deeds. It requires almost zero effort to get that one

[@rikipedia9745]

@Chris Parker more than enough time to get the rest of the gear then :p No one said it was easy
