°°° Improve your Char °°°

Hello beloved Median XL Community,

i played Median 10 Years ago, no i re-discoverd it and fell in love once again.

.) Back in the day we had a "improve your next item" thread, where you woud post your char and the community would responde which item, skill, statt they would upgrade/improve next, depending on what the op was aiming for

.) Ideally the op not only gets the "what" question answered, but also the "how"

Like "next i would upgrade the gems in the shield to jewels, and the best way to get those jewels is xxx"

So ill start with my super noobish new Javazon a made a few days ago!
https://tsw.vn.cz/char/JaVvar/596e (hope this link works lol)
current status: I already didall dungeons until: THE VEILED PROPHET , im stuck there because i instantly die as soon as i enter

So if you were in my shoes what would be your next gear improvement, or the items that you would switch?
And how would you get the next items, where would you look for them?
(feel free to suggest more than one item, if my whole gear is crap i really need to know

)

Thanks so much for this amazing game/mod and of course please post your chars/links aswell in here so the community can help you improve aswell ;D

All the best from Vienna!

It is time for you to upgrade to a sacred honorific throwing spear. Maiden javelin works too, but isn't as good until higher dexterity.

Put "Throwing Spear" sacred magic rare on your d2stats filter, roll some honos until they get some decent %ED. Bless it with a Weird or Intimidating shrine, then use these MOs:
- % Enhanced Damage (until it reaches 200%)
- % Crushing Blow
- % Maximum Damage
- % Enhanced Weapon Damage

Once you get that you should easily be able to clear the 120 ubers and farm for better gear everywhere else. Completing Judgment Day upgrade will let you respec some points out of strength and into dexterity as well, 267 is too much base strength to have.

As far as finishing Veiled Prophet: you just need to tank the nuns until the shield generator pauses shooting lightning bolts, then go in and kill it to spawn the actual boss and be able to kill all the nuns. If you need help to survive,

I will have to pass on my turn, I know what I'm looking for on owolf. MF wormhole, finish the Umbaru, CoV trophy, GKs, Dyers Eve, gloves that do anything useful, actual armor... it's all pretty straightforward I think.

WOw, thanks so much man! Thats exactly what i was hoping for, very detailed, thanks!!!

I literally didn't know about this. Is this the same as the in game chatroom (outside a game, on "bnet")?

Is there a guide with all such functions somewhere?

i just got my first Honorific throwing spear! Thanks!
But the "blessing with shrine" didnt work : / as soon as the item was honorific the shrines didnt work. but the MOs did, and its still a better weapon than my t4 unique before ;D

Also why can i respec points after judgement day quest, i dont understand

Thanks!
