Hi, I have a level 96 Aran on Broa and am looking towards buying my final polearm. My budget is about 350m, so an arcglaive is sadly out of the question My question is: what is the most efficient polearm I could get price-wise with my budget (in terms of weapon attack), or would it be better to wait for 120 and make a Diesra? Right now, I am still using a 95/8 karstan, but I don't really mind waiting till 120 to upgrade since nobody seems to be willing to sell me an endgame polearm. (scrolling is out of the question, I have terrible luck) Thanks in advance!

350m? I'm not sure. I'm just using my 107 attack karstan U/h. Seems to be working fine. It's over that 350m mark though.

The problem is the speed. Even tho i dont really care about it, most people do. on lvl 80, i was alredy bored of my 97 att karstan.So i bought a 114 14 str Eclipse for 320m (i though it was a good deal, and it was evidently). I used it till lvl 100, and trust me, the damage helped me a lot. Then i sold it for 32k NX and bought a 126 att zedbug. Unfortunately, my luck on scrolling also sucks, and i hammered and used a 60% and it failed >_>.. so my -so far till now, since i just got poor- endgame polearm is my 126 att zedbug 1 hammer left. And i dont complain about it. Oh btw, when i talked about "speed problems" is that the karstan is normal speed, and zedbug - eclipse - diesra are "slow". Arcglaive is fast, also the lvl 95 surfboard. Fast speed polearms (even with lower att) > high att slow polearms. But im happy with my zedbug.

Like what yorguen said, its all up to your playing style and preference. Yes, people will get into specifics about dpm and comparing speed class vs speed class. Math doesn't kill the mobs, you and your weapon do. So pick whichever one you feel the most comfortable with. [quote] yorguen : . Arcglaive is fast, also the lvl 95 surfboard.

eclipse is slow (7) as well o.O if it's me I'd just use a weapon that you have for now and wait for PSB event, it should be here by now o.O when it comes buy a PSB (not on the first day, wait a while, like a week or two) then it'll be cheap

The problem with these are that they are extremely rare and crazy expensive.
