The most that can be done with Shields is to farm Wood shield drops, or run multiple playthroughs for the Damascus shield chest. Material See Rare Combinations in Vagrant Storyĭamascus is easy to create with both armor and weapons using the principle of Prevalence, but impossible with Shields. High-Tier combinations are often very weak, for example both 12th Tier + 12th combinations making 7th tier, but there are exceptions, for example one of the 12th + 11th Tier combinations making 11th tier. The product tier can even exceed the ingredient tiers, in the case of products of the two six-tier weapon Designs, since there are no other Designs with that few tiers. The product tier is not directly tied to the ingredients tier, though for example 8th Tier War Maul + 8th Crescent = 6th Halberd Ultimate other results are 8th Penultimate Nodachi. In the case of non-Same combinations, equal or widely spaced combinations are superior, so weapons that have the same number of Tiers get the best results, at least in comparison to how high their Tier is.Ībout 30-40% of Maximum Tier (Ultimate) Combinations give Penultimate Tier results, but this is merely an incidental consequence of the real formula: the product of any two blades has a Tier at or usually below the lowest of the ingredients' tiers. In Mismatch, combinations that are close together but not consecutive have inferior results to combinations that widely spaced. The system used for non-Same combinations is similar to the punitive Mismatch for Same combinations. However, one might expect more of the twelfth Tier Polearm, Brandestoc, than the sixth Tier Destroyer or Sage's Cane, even though they are all their Design's highest Tier weapons. Twelve: Dagger ( Jamadhar), Polearm ( Brandestoc).Eight: Axe ( Crescent), Crossbow ( Arbalest), Mace ( War Maul).

Six: Great Axe ( Halberd), Staff ( Sage's Cane).

This is true even if the Tier total for that weapon is half that of another weapon Great Axe and Staff have only six tiers, while Dagger, Polearm and Sword have twelve. It can be observed that the top Tiers of all weapons combine well, as is intuitively appropriate. Tier is complicated by the fact that weapons have different numbers of Tiers. This is the most difficult assessment of weapon value. Especially rich chest contents are also shown this is of course independent of Drop Rate as such, but multiple playthroughs ( New Game Plus) require time expenditure that is comparable with farming drops. However, this guide only sets out to show four parameters: Tier, Material, and how Early in the game they can be performed, and combinations of the three.
