Upgrade Options:
PC options:
The easiest upgrades from this class are the Item-related ones, but most of them require another Item skill to be significant:
- Thief: highest Item skill is Explosives, STR47+ or INT47+
- Alchemist: highest Item skill is Shards, STR53+ or INT53+
- Scout: highest Item skill is Herbs, STR41+ or INT41+
- Hunter: highest Item skill is Lotions, STR47+ or INT47+
- Wanderer: highest Item skill is Traps, STR47+ or INT47+
- Assassin: requires One-Handed 15 and Sword 13, STR53+ or INT53+
Mystic + Combat classes are also option if Mystics are trained to become another significant skill group. However, the high Wield Style requirements for some of them will likely result in Weapons and Mystic significance:
- Paladin: highest Mystic skill is Psionics, STR47+ or INT47+
- Cleric: requires Quad Wield 13, STR47+ or INT47+
- Deathknight: requires Dual Power Grip 16, STR53+ or INT53+
- Ninja: requires Dual Wield 22 and Katana 19, STR59+ or INT59+
Pure Mystic classes are also an option, but will likely require some Mystic grinding:
- Sage: highest Mystic skill is Hexes and at least 3 Mystic skills trained to level 7+, INT47+
- Thaumaturge: highest Mystic skill is Invocations or Evocations and at least 3 Mystic skills trained to level 7+, INT47+
- Commander: highest Mystic skill is Wards, INT53+
- Warlock: requires all Arcana learned, INT59+
And finally, back to pure Combat classes:
- Guardian: requires Item>Mystic, One-Handed 13 or Power Grip 13 or Two-Handed 13, Herbs 6 or Lotions 6, STR47+. This one can be tricky as Items are an established significant skill group, so Weapons needs to be the only significant skill before meeting the Items requirement.
- Gladiator: requires Mystic>Item, Power Grip 16, highest Mystic skill is Wards, STR53+
- Ordainer: requires Item/Mystic balance, all Weapon Types level 19+, STR59+
X360 options: Since Items are significant, Item-related classes are the easiest option:
- Thief: highest Item skill is Explosives, STR47+ or INT47+
- Guardian: requires Item>Mystic, STR47+
Raising Mystics to become a significant skill group can open up these classes:
- Sage: highest Mystic skill is Hexes and at least 3 Mystic skills trained to level 7+, INT47+
- Thaumaturge: highest Mystic skill is Invocations or Evocations and at least 3 Mystic skills trained to level 7+, INT47+
- Commander: highest Mystic skill is Wards, INT53+
- Warlock: requires all Arcana learned, INT59+
- Gladiator: requires Mystic>Item, STR53+
