Piercing yeah, but crit not really, you need to roll the right pieces to get a lot of crit out of it. It's not that much more than the shitty moonwater valor crit. And I'm not sure how much piercing makes a difference in tower if you have infernal earring. Like only #8 rolls innate crit, every other piece you have to roll crit out of 3stats, so it's not super likely. I think you're better off skipping it. Pretty sure you're fine with a soulshield with 30-40crit infuses on every pieces as long as you upgrade your weapon for mushin tower, until junghado. And it's certainly enough to farm nightshade for some pieces there too.

So are you saying skip everything and run Bloodshade for a soul shield?

Here's a google docdetailing the two soulshields and which pieces are best. Most people will be using 5 Mushin, 3 BSH.

Can be both i guess, depending wich 2nd bonus you prefer and what you have. Here is what jaesung posted:

1 - tower (1600 hp / 68 crit) or bsh (160 acc / 68 crit)
2 - tower (168 crit / 71 def / acc)
3 - bsh (175 block / 75 crit)
4 - tower (183 acc / 78 crit)
5 - bsh (189 crit / 89 def / acc)
6 - tower (206 def / 88 crit)
7 - bsh (214 crit / 91 def /acc)
8 - tower (221 crit / 94 def / acc) or bsh (221 crit / 94 def / acc)

Wich match more or less the spreadsheet that was posted. I honestly prefer defense over evasion so pending for 5/3 tower/bsh

1 - Tower 68 Crit 4020 HP
2 - Tower 168 Crit 2540 HP
3 - BSH 75 Crit 2650 HP (Tower no Crit)
4 - Tower 78 Crit 2770 HP
5 - BSH 199 Crit 3000 HP (Tower 84 Crit 4240 HP)
6 - Tower 88 Crit 3120 HP
7 - BSH 214 Crit 3230 HP (Tower no Crit)
8 - Either 221 Crit 3350 HP (Tower for 5p, believe I've seen 4100 HP Tower and 4290 HP BSH)

Rising Waters Update BiS Soul Shields : bladeandsoul

yeah those are the same basically (one ive copied just dont report the base hp of the ss)

Tower 8 can't have more than 3350 HP. Here's what my plan is so far:

1. BSH (2420 HP, 160 Accuracy, 68 Crit)
2. Tower (2540 HP, 168 Crit, 71 Accuracy or Defense)
3. BSH (2650 HP, 175 Block, 75 Crit)
4. BSH (2770 HP, 183 Evasion, 78 Crit)
5. BSH (3000 HP, 199 Crit, 84 Accuracy or Defense)
6. BSH (3120 HP, 206 Accuracy, 88 Crit)
7. BSH (3230 HP, 214 Crit, 91 Accuracy or Defense)
8. BSH (4290 HP, 221 Crit)

If I completely overshoot Blackwyrm's accuracy cap with this, I'll probably trade piece #1 for the Tower piece for more HP.

There's no real reason to go for anything besides 5/3 or 3/5 imo. And tower is much easier to farm the pieces to get perfect rolls. Not like you need to though, the current pve is easy, and world pvp is pointless. Still using profane wep, square gems and infernal jewelry, beating F7 with like 1m-1m20s left.

Also, has anyone played another region version where they're at the 50 cap? What current materials will still be in demand at 50? We're gonna need to convert gold into materials before the 50 patch for sure, if they make a ton more g/day at 50 which is what I've been reading.

Converting the MW Valor into SF Valor is useful, since a vendor in SF has a couple weapons needed for breathrough / evolves, which I think cost 50 then 100 (SF valor stones).

Yep, been hoarding the valor stones for that, and just trying to save up gold and invest it. I don't think we're too far away from the 50 patch, so I want to focus on that rather than current tier stuff for the most part (as far as spending gold goes). I know I'll need to get a pirate weapon to breakdown into the soul thing though, and the jewelry seems to scale to 50.

In other news, arena felt really easy tonight, around 1660. Hadn't played for a bit, and I guess most of the more solid players are higher atm, because the people I played against were not very good. Went 3-0, and hopefully I can grind out some games tomorrow for zen beans and rank. One summoner especially was terrible and I don't know how he's in gold, other than maybe summoners are OP at low tiers.

I hope we do get the Pirate Soul.

You sacrifice your hongmoon weapon at pirate level, then you get to level it up again. Of course people should just buy another hongmoon (swipe had some great alternatives for that word) and level that one for the soul.


ATM though, I really can't be bothered to pre level it at this tier of content due to cost.

With the 50 patch you'll have better, more rewarding dailies and prices for shit will be much less, with time and inflation taking its toll further.

Of course we have no idea if we will even get the soul anytime soon.

Is there some chance to get extra results when crafting? I just completed an order of 10x moonwater transformation stones, but I got 11 from it. Trying to figure out what happened.

hmm never happened to me, maybe you had one left over previously?

Nope, system text said:
acquired 10 moonwater transformation stones.
acquired 1 moonwater transformation stones.
