I need help with my dark sea build

Game Discussion
1

Part 1: Armor

I don’t know what secondary jewel effect is the best: swim speed or air capacity. I also don’t know if I should use agility gems (single stat) or musgravite.

What should I use?
  • Swim speed
  • Air capacity

Here’s my current idea which I might change depending on insanity range:

(if musgravite then subtract 120 agility)

Part 2: Hecate or New File

My dark sea file’s current magic is explosion but I want to change it to magma or ice.

Which (do you think) is faster?
  • Hecate essence
  • Levelling up a new file including brig deckhands (my dark sea file isn’t maxed right now)

I have PTSD over the time in the dark sea where I lost my brig. I had no idea where it was but I had to swim all the way to the nimbus sea. I clutched via the triangular nimbus/bronze border (I’m at nimbus) and kept all my shit on the brig despite me being so far away from it. If I didn’t have 110% swim speed + water breathing 3 pots, I would’ve lost all of it.

EDIT: forgot to clarify that when i mean dark sea file isn’t maxed, i meant the brig deckhands

My vote is still there

i meant change it if needed

6

i forgot to mention i lost the brig because i forgot to close the sails, leaving it to sail off

7

enough musgravites for 100% air capacity then the rest of them should be swim speed

8

that works also

9

im confused why’d you want either for the dark sea. one of the most efficient DS methods is farming siren rocks with no swimming involved

10

what should i get then? an actual pve combat build this time instead of a trackstar?

wait, WHAT???

11

sirens dont do a lot of damage and the farther youre in the dark sea, the more chests they will spawn with. at the bare minimum (insanity 1) each rock always gives 3 chests. and theyre easy to find because sirens like to sing

as for your build you could probably try a trackstar build to just run in, get the chests, and get out without fighting the sirens and dodging them, or you could just use a regular build and kill them normally

12

should i just use agility jewels for the +10 agility instead of musgravite

13

are you sure 530 accuracy is gonna help you with ds runs

14

probably lapis lazuli, or get some defense so you arent too squishy.

also i dont have much experience using regen, but with -130 regen you might be spending a long while healing if you get struck by lightning randomly, or more prone to water poisoning

15

i have the breath and swim speed for if a wave takes me miles out into the ocean (happens more often than not)

16

shit no so uhh time to get a different build

17

btw i’ll be running 120m/160w conjurer

i chose conjurer because i have access to the most mobility moves and i have larger magic platforms compared to savant

depending on whether agility is definitely getting replaced, my build could be either:

or

the bottom one is a bit overkill on defense, like chill :sob:

for dark sea, i pretty much just use my regular build i use all the time, and replace one armor piece with virtuous theurgist armor piece, it doesnt have to be that crazy

if the wave pushes you onto the little fence thingy on your brig, it will save you from being pulled away, but yea that seems like a good situation to run swim speed

19

where tf do i spend the other stats

20

atk spd, power, and maybe agility

21

i don’t know if i’ll be fighting the sirens or just hopping in and gtfo asap
