i just started ladder slasher, first of all i started by making a fighter, and i dont have any weapons but a staff that i cant equip, am i missing something? also any tips or good topics to look at?

2 topics below yours

https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=82660445&f=272

saw that one already, was looking for others to compare sources (habit ... from every other game i have played)
and on the note of items, do i pretty much NEED fg to play? was really hoping it could be something while i casually wait for trades XD

it helps to have a little FG, mediocre gear goes a long way if you're willing to grind and it's very cheap.

going purely self found will be extremely grinding, probably not that fun

Donate him a little

noooo i could never ... well ... maybe a little? XD

This is bullshit.

When you start LS and create a Fighter you get a Tier I Sword and an Armor, the only way you got a Staff is because you created a Mage first off, then you saw the Guide stating that you should use a Fighter or Barbarian (Barb is the best out of the two by the way)... so you Re-rolled your mage to a fighter and start with Mage gear.

Get your facts right... just create a new character as a Fighter class and see for yourself.

EDIT: I looked at your characters... you only have 1 character... you need to make 7 more mules on that core to hold items (8 max per core) ... wish you luck... oh... you can transfer items to your mules using the Marketplace.

Maybe you trashed the Tier I sword by mistake, then disregarded the rest, so, anything in RED, your character can not use OR are higher level, but since you are level 1 ... you will pretty much only find Tier I / II or III where a level 1 character can use UNLESS it isn't for that Class (fighter, barb, mage, guardian... a rogue is more versatile for items though).

7 kills / 3 deaths and 0 Master Quest attempts.? Hmm

i agree with this, make different kinds, i wouldnt bother with a guardian for now

Only damage is done by a staff

but the one he has is self found so i thought maybe he had a rogue first but maybe mage, idk


TJ posted the guide so you have all you need really, Pithlyx (could check the class forum on here to settle which character can use staves)

about the only way i can think you got into this scenario is that you started with a mage and rerolled into a fighter. There are mechanics in place to prevent you from not having a weapon, for example you can't actually unequip a weapon. I suppose after a season reset everything becomes unequipped, but this is very uncommon and still means you decided to trash your only usable fighter weapon.


either make a new fighter/barb from scratch or reroll again back to a mage, find a sword/axe/club then reroll again to get the fighter. You may also be able to make a new barb/fighter and just transfer the splintered club he comes with using the marketplace -> transfer function (this is free) to send it to yourself, can't remember if it automatically equips the item when you make a new character, if memory serves it does not but could be wrong there.


This is an unusual circumstance where you shafted yourself by rerolling into a class you literally have no weapon for and do not have the fg to buy something either.
Not really a gameplay fault as there will be many instances such as after reaching MQ and passing that when you go to that character it will have no equippable items, however in everyone elses cases they can transfer items from vault/another character.
Also not saying what you did was necessarily wrong, but you had to do some specific things to not be able to do anything with that character and there was never anything stopping you making another
A new character will come with some very basic gear so you can kill mobs.

Could not edit... but BOTH OF THESE replies are correct.

Since you only have one(1) character for that Core, you should create a new one as a Fighter, and then re-roll it to a fighter and use the Marketplace to transfer the Tier I white sword to your main character... &/or the armor, since it won't be a Robe and will have better defense in comparison.

Then you can play your main character with a weapon that can be used by a Fighter... here is a link to character class weapon/armor & charm(s) that they can use:

From here you can check everything for weapons / ratios, charms, objectives etc.
