Intro Note: I would recommend to NOT do Gread Sword build untill you get Serenity. This artifact sword is much better than any other Great Sword you can find or craft. If you looking for slash damage weapon you can try hatchet.

Items used in this build are just examples of good perk combinations you can use. There may be multiple Named Item alternatives, or you might find something similar on the Trading Post—or even get lucky with drops from mobs or chests. You can find all viable alternatives on websites like NWBuddy or NWDB.

Once you reach level 65, focus on increasing your faction level. At max faction rank, you’ll gain access to excellent starter gear. And if you didn’t spend much gold while leveling, you should be able to afford it easily. This gear is more than enough to handle M2 expeditions, Hive of the Gorgon, and Trial of the Devourer. The last one can be a bit tricky. It all depends on the raid leader and how strict the gear check is.

This guide uses Syndicate gear as an example, but similar alternatives exist for Covenant and Marauders. Base faction gear comes with Constitution as the default attribute, but you can buy seals to change it to any attribute you prefer.

Purchase a Syndicate (Covenant/Marauder) Soldier Seal from the faction store, then take it to the Outfitting Station along with the items you want to upgrade.
