General

This is a template designed to take advantage of the Alchemical Throwing Phials. Specialized Thrown Weapons helps with the use of phials. This template relies on Arcane Lore for creature and life buffs.

Advantages

  • Template completes relatively early.
  • Skill/attribute synergy between UA, TW, and Alchemy.
  • Has melee and missile combat capabilities.
  • High melee defense.
  • Buffs from Arcane Lore cannot be dispelled, and do not expire.
  • Has life vulnerability debuffing capabilities through throwing phials.
  • Throwing phials can be wielded with a shield.

Disadvantages

  • Throwing phials have their own disadvantages, including burden/pack space, only stacking to 50, -10% melee defense, and requiring line of sight and close range to work.
  • Creating a suit of armor, jewelry, and clothing to cover all creature and life buffs can be a long and difficult process.
  • Low magic resistance.
  • Low health.

Tips

  • For relatively easy experience at lower levels, complete some of the Fletching and Alchemy Crafter Quests.
  • When crafting with Fletching and Alchemy at lower levels, use the Fletching Forges and Alchemy Forges located in Holtburg, Shoushi, and Yaraq.
