Sneak attack is not very good at low levels. At high levels you will probably want to untrain brawling. It gives you an extra attack fairly regularly, and it lets you use a bunch of dagger from RK. It is dark blue, but that does not matter so much at the low levels. Save it for when your health starts getting low.īrawling is a very nice skill at low levels. You will want to use it regularly, but not every fight. It has a 5 minute recharge and you heal from it as well (it is a steal health, not just damage). Just make sure it does not say 'not shade'.Īt low levels you probably want to use the attack skills of piercing, multi melee, fast attack, dimach, and brawling.ĭimach is a must have for shades - it functions differently for them then others.

In theory shades use tattoos which are no drop (although that might change in the near future), but missions for armor works quite well. You can use few head and back armors, but you can use the helm and pack from the Mr Blake quest (which starts right outside Rome Blue Basic) so you should get that. For Omni, the rollerat armor is probably better. The armor you can buy at the vendor in the Jobe Training Grounds is good. You can use one to join a side if you like. He gives you application forms for Omni and Clan. After playing for several days I finally used it - a guy appears and tells you he is on Jobe platform and has things for you.

Starting as a neutral in Jobe you get a holodisk. These daggers will last you for awhile, some use them until level 30ish although that is not recommended. You can get good QL silvertail horns by going past the ruins in Old Frontier. A QL 12 silvertail horn will make a QL 15 dagger. The maximum QL dagger you can make is 15. The QL of the dagger you make is determined only by the quality of the silvertail horn. This requires venom from a coiler, a bone handle from a beit gras, and a silvertail horn. You want to make yourself some silvertail daggers. Nanomage seems too weak given how fragile Shades already are, and you only use nanos for buffing. If you want to be an Atrox melee, Enforcer is a better choice. It seems the best choice given that you want piercing.
