Attention. Build Items Info

Items used in the build are just examples of good perk combinations that could be used in your build. There might be multiple "Named Item" alternatives, or you can find something similar to the shown items on the trade post, or even get it as a lucky drop from mobs or chests. You can find all alternatives on websites like NWBuddy or NWDB.


Focus on a few things:

  • Attributes: Make sure your items have the attributes needed for your build. For example, don't use DEX/STR pieces for a healer or FOC pieces for damage dealers.

  • Weight: Ensure you are using items that put you in the correct weight category. In most cases, try to avoid medium weight as a DPS or a healer and use heavy armor as a tank.

  • Perks: Make sure you have your main protection perk first (enchanted ward in most cases). Then go for refreshing and weapon perks to finalize your build.
