This is a general thread, but I'm wondering (since I have yet to reach this area of gameplay)..

If I'm aiming for Nirvana daggers, Shadow Ashura Greaves, and eventually, after I get everything else, the Nirvana hat, do I need to have the manufacturing skills ON my sin?

Up to this point, I've been having my veno (BS/Tailor/Craft 7) make all the armor/gear for my sin. Can it stay this way for Nirvana? I know I'll have to level up my veno's skill to 8 first. I just want to know so that I can start leveling these skills on my sin, or not to.

Thank you in advanced for you answer!

If you equip/bind equipment and can't account stash things over to your veno, then yes, you do need to up your crafting levels on your sin.

But, if you make the 99 legs/daggers and take them straight to nirvana without equipping them, then it's not needed. The 99 daggers suck anyway.

FWIW, I'm in the same boat and decided that levelling from 99 to 100 would be faster than relearning crafting on my sin.

If your Veno is on the same account as your Sin, then stick with the Veno as the manufacturer. Just use the Account Stash to transfer the gear [which you should already know]

If your Veno is on seperate accounts from your Sin, make sure the gear you are trying to manufacture is NOT bound yet.

Ah, I see.

Yes, my veno is on the same account as my sin, and I have an account stash (helps in a lot of ways).

I'm planning to just use the rank equipment for legs and chest. Then Hook & Thorn until 100, then rank 8 daggers while I'm slowly farming for the Nirvana gear. So no bound gear will be worn.

Thank you very much for the info! It would cost a lot to get them up again..

Not to change the subject but you might want to consider the lunar the lunar route to Nirvana as a Sin.

Compare for yourself

Lunar Nirvana

TT Nirvana

And ya you can account stash bound items as long as they're on the same account through account stash, No clue why Mauntille is saying different

Meaning they're on different accounts...not that you can't stash bound equipment.

Sorry for the ambiguity. My veno and sin are on different accounts; just speaking from my experience.

Hi nishi (I see you on wc quite often)

I never noticed the lunar before! They definitely look a lot better than Nirvana, but the obvious question I'm going to ask is: is it easier to go the lunar route than nirvana? What is the difference in how each is obtained?

I definitely have a lot of time before I decide to do anything since I got to get all of my other gear first, along with leveling up there.

Thanks again!


Also to clear things up for me:

Can you, or can you not account stash bound items? I don't have any on me to test this, and don't really want to bind something to do test it. I mean like after you equip it and it says "Bound". Those items.

The two linked builds use two different sets of Nirvana, one made from Lunar, the other from TT.

The Lunar is a lot more expensive, as you need these to make them. Just the chip fees from the materials comes to almost 30 millions.

The good parts would be: you can use the lunar starting 95 and it doesn't bind.

Nirvana Lunar/TT armor or weapon is Tailor/Blacksmith lv6.
TT99 armor or weapon Tailor/Blacksmith lv7
TT100 weapons Blacksmith lv8

If you have the manufacture skills at your veno you don't need to level up again at your sin account.

TT90 gold is Bound once you gear it, if you just manufacture it you can trade or sell it. Even bound after geared it with the account stash with can share it with the other charas at same acoount.

Run Lunar ONLY with friends and people you trust. split the entry fee 6 ways that's 500k each. DO NOT go into random squads that do random drops one person can walk away with a 8mil coin mat and you nothing. Why I suggest non random squad and random drops is you can sell the tinders and easily make your 500k fee back and continue to lunar. If you friends can't afford the fee off them a charm or something in return for their time, allowing you to keep the drops. During 2x you can easily get the mats you need for both the pants and helm in 2 to 3 runs. Run Lunar during during 2x, hopefully we get one next month

As far as cost comparison goes, with the current cost of mats on RT for 99 gold and green mats on RT the pants alone set you at around 27 to 32mil coin and that's IF you can find the green mats. while lunar if much easier to farm then 3-3 and the tinder's can be fairly cheap... its the bloody 7 Earth Essence's you need that are a pita to get

How the chain works for lunar to nirvana is as followed:

1st cast Lunar Nirvana

2nd cast Lunar Nirvana

and to answer your question about bound items being account stashable the answer is yes since your sin and Veno are on the same.
