- Take advantage of my experience and realisations to choose your next weapon in Albion Online.
Paradoxically - your weapon choice is simultaneously not a big decision but also will end up defining your Albion Online experience!
There is no correct answer but some reasons for choosing a weapon are better than others.

Thanks to your video I decided to break up with my girlfriend
You'll have many more ex's in albion 😂
XD
ended up learning more about life than albion lol. Great video as usual Vic! Keep up the great work
Thank you!!! I guess life must also be a game and that's why all the same things apply :)
@@VicZaneGaming what i have already done on 2021 unfortunally. That if i dont menage to learn how to win with that. Then i Will left the game at some point. Instead of adpting on a cheese build that i dont like
Watched Ur pvp Video. Ended up killing ppl and stacking up silver.
Always was scared to fight/die and played horrible. But Ur advice that mostly everybody suk in pvp switched my mind and now the others are running and dying.
❤❤❤
I'm very happy to hear this!! Awesome!
So glad to have found your channel!! Keep up the good work
Glad to have you! Will do!
Im enjoying your content a lot! Please keep it going!!
Very glad to hear! Will do!
love the way he explains things... well done sir!
Damn, thanks for showing that three-way around chest, and also fights at camps, now i understand much more in what is happening in my gameplay.
Very glad to hear!
Nice video ! I like for the spear gameplay ahah
Thank you, this helped me a lot.
That is a cool video mate. I am currently trying to decide between bows, crossbows or spears, as I like kiting builds. Could you comment a bit on how do you see your choice of playing spear? Which matchups do you like and which do you avoid picking? What's the largest IP difference which you would try to take on?
Glad you liked the video! I am absolutely addicted to the spear and happy to have chosen it. The matchups that spear doesn't usually want to take unless there's a good IP advantage are builds that like to stand in one place and do a ton of damage (most crossbow builds, fire staffs). Curse staffs can also be really difficult. Everything else is fair game. Probably most pvp profit on the 1h spear in the mists will come from swords, daggers, axes and frost staffs. It will take a whole separate video to go deeper into all specific matchups.
@@VicZaneGaming i was surprised that you said that you get pvp profit from swords. I really struggle with swords, especially dual swords, as they have too many tools to close the gap. The E is 15 sec, therefore overlaps with spear e 20 sec cooldown. Could you maybe do a video on the matchups and how you deal with them? Thank you!
Only few people would relate weaponry with relationships and actually make it understandable.
Thanks for the great content!
I kinda got burned out of Albion for a while and wanna go back in, but a lot has changed and I suffer from being unable to decide on what weapon to use. But I'll take your advice and just keep trying one tree till I start getting kills. Thanks a ton!
Thanks for the good vibes! Getting a bit burned out and taking long breaks seems to be a very normal experience for Albion :) And probably all mmos.
@@VicZaneGaming unfortunately it came along with a severe case of gear fear. Haha
I'm trying to get over it but it's hard. Farming doesn't seem as profitable in the Asian server as it did before or maybe I'm doing something wrong but I'm just kinda stuck now..
Ive been solo player in albion nearly two years, best weopens to rank as a solo for me, in hindsight should be
1 druidic staff
2 carving sword.
You as solo should spec up carving sword to 100 with points while using druidic to fame farm, you will not regret it cause it will save you from gankers when gathering and transporting and also a strong pvp and zvz weapon. Your third and fourth weapon to spec will be shadowcaller and batlleaxe. Thats just my opinion after specing up to 100 in east 1st battleaxe, 2nddruidic, 3rd shadowcaller.

Someone told me once to treat the player as an NPC, it removes the anxiety of the fight and let's you focus
My wife preferred it when I played WOW and specialised in wands 😆 nice vid mate
At first i never understood whats the point of enchanted items, but now i see that they allow switching things up without loosing that much power.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Every enchantment level gives +100IP to an item but I have a feeling you are referring to something else when you say 'enchanted items'.
Okay so i started out solo on the eu server with 1h cursed staff with interest in solo pvp with and without ratting in mind. I now am also interested in carving sword but my warlock level is 65 and spec in 1h cursed is 60. I am shying away from switching because of the lack of spec in lets say the carving sword. How much am i losing for switching now? Or dies it become easier to farm spec in diff weapons once i max my first weapon? I also want to play shadowcaller, man, too many interesting and fun choices :D
There is no mechanic to make famefarming easier but carving sword itself is definitely much easier to fame up than 1h curse because you can kill mobs decently well. It should also become slightly easier because you get better at fighting mobs while keeping your surroundings in mind to survive other players.
You don't lose anything from switching as you can always continue your warlock gaming. Only consideration is that while your spec is low, it's probably best to not do too much pvp as you will need more expensive items to reach same IP as other, higher spec players.
Yeaa i played dagger at first then started using spear , glove and sword all of them are kinda good for solo pvp
I really enjoy how you approach this game
I'm glad to hear that!
I've been playing since the launch of eu. my winrate in mists is still pretty low. is it normal that it takes too much time to learn?
Yeah absolutely. Some builds and weapons have simpler learning curves but generally it is very normal that it takes a lot of time to start killing in pvp. This is mostly because there are so many different weapons, builds, spells and interactions that it's impossible to understand and get used to all of them fast. I'm sure that when you are fighting an enemy who is using the build you already know well, you have a much much better winrate than against something unfamiliar.
read thumbnail, haven't watched the vid, so you mean I got no weapon?
edit: hehe yea I started Albion in February, tried a bunch of weapons. But, I always despised bear paw users since they killed me the most. decided to try it this week, no wonder gankers love this weapon. I now understand why😂
Nice! For me, bearpaws is one of the weapons I never really got around to on West. I like the battleaxe though. Maybe I'll try paws on EU one day.
Love it *-*
All of your video is good bro
Thank you !!!
Can you make a guide with matchups on how to play against them with a spear?
Yes! I've read several similar request and am thinking about it!
don't forget to spec!
The thing I find annoying is I really want to play shapeshifter, I've always been maining druid in wow and shapeshift-a-like in any other game, but in Albion a 4.0 prowling staff costs 30k more silver than a full bloodletter 4.0 set.
So I feel forced to play other weapons because I dont have the economy to keep running a 150k+ build vs a 50k build.
(I dont enjoy running yellow zones because it feels like getting cucked fame and silver wise compared to black zone where it sometimes feels like getting kicked in the dick when 8.3 players think they're cool and ganks a 4.0 player, but at least there's sometimes proper pvp and better silver & fame per h.
So should I just stick with BL until I have enough economy to try other things?
If I were you, I'd prioritise being within my economic means. Even if you don't die, risking too much relative to overall bank value makes you perform worse in pvp. But making enough silver to buy about 20 tier 4.1 sets shouldn't be a big problem.
However, I also can't imagine playing a build that doesn't feel fun. If you are not enjoying bloodletter that much, maybe there are other things to try that will be both cheap-ish and enjoyable playstyle - dual swords, 1h spear, 1h fire, wildfire, battleaxe - all can be decently cheap and get you valuable pvp even if you just go with 4.1 . There really isn't much you can do with 4.0 bloodletter in the mists other than capitalise on a very lucky ratting opportunity.
And if you look at it long-term, learning any build by playing it is very valuable for pvp success later on. For example if you do decide to go full shapeshifter once you get a better economy, you'll have a much easier time fighting against weapons that you have experienced yourself!
@@VicZaneGaming I actually tried tons of builds and weapons after writing the comment - nothing is pulling my thing between my legs more than shapeshifter so I went back to prowling XD
made a zero to hero BZ mostly PvE until I was strong enough to fight back and im at 6.3 now with 1 death at 6.0, but in total I got like 10-11 mil profit so i just regeared back to 6.0 and now as I said I'm 6.3 with 6 mil profit :>
Some close calls, got teamed by two 5.1 players but managed to finish them both, got ratted by a 5.2 dualsword and then a 7.3 cursed staff drifts by around the corner giving me an otherworldly jumpscare.
Your videos have helped me tremendously to understand PvP better, I'm a Battlerite (an Bloodline Champions) player so the top down kinda view in Albion is very familiar and pvp is fairly easy but there's sooo many annoying skills in the game that I need to learn.
Thanks for the effort you are putting into the videos and thanks for taking your time to answer the comment - valuable info as always!
0:09 love the detail that you perfectly showed the iq of ppl who choose to play this weapon
How to fight against dual swords on a one-handed pike, if the player hits W and E (and the average player almost never misses them and a newbie most likely won’t just join us in pvp), then the pike has no chance, kiting is also not an option since swords Q reduces the distance, and the charges give running speed, + jacket vampire and return helmet. It seems that dual swords are now some of the strongest in the early and mid game. Can you make a more detailed review against dual swords please.
in your videos the dual swords never start hitting you like a normal player with W+E
Duals are pretty strong on low IP, you're right. But it's definitely possible to kite them with the 1h spear. Your Q has a good range advantage over their Q and you can cripple off their sword stacks (or boots) if you need to gain some space.
In my experience you need to prepare for a longer fight and not try to win it too quickly against duals. If you are able to dodge their E one time, you have a decent advantage. Currently on EU I use assassin jacket's invis against their mercenary jacket heal and it helps a lot as well!
💙💙💙
Nature staff is a good start though
If nature feels fun to you, that's awesome! It's not bad when going for a PvE playstyle or if you have a stable group that you can play healer for. If, however, you are going to be more focused on solo PvP, it's pretty weak at the moment.
Been trying a lot of different weapons could not find one I enjoy fully yet.
Either they lack mobility and I get run over instantly when a high IP guy comes or
they suck so hard at pve it doesn't feel fun outside of pvp.
just do dual swords, mobile, high dps, good at pve and pvp, universal simple good, not best, but cheap and good
Being Solo more than 5 years, in the long run every experience helps be it in Albion or Real Life 👑🔝🤝
True wisdom!
can you share your build please it looks very fun
Most commonly I play 1h spear with torch, stalker hood, inferno shield (any leather jacket) and rejuvenating sprint (any plate boots). I use roast snapper and Ava/martlock/undead cape depending on the mood. You can check out this part of my spear guide for a more detailed breakdown of options - th-cam.com/video/jjePqOk-9Gg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=U3dO0jG4BDkUB0Q7
Nice video style! Been playing Albion for almost 3 years and still don't have a main weapon 😂
I know many players who are like you. They have a lot of experience and change weapons every week (or every time they die) and it seems like a very fun way to play for them. Also thanks :)
I think you forget to mention learning other weapons is important to understand how they work, what the cooldowns are, etc..
Absolutely true! That's a big reason why I feel that playing any weapon tree at the start will turn into useful experience.
Good video but lacks a small overview for the weapons (doesnt have to be super indepth)
Thanks, man! That's good feedback that I will keep in mind!
Lol i started w maces to tank, didn't know i boarded on the pain train
At least there's great satisfaction at the end of the learning curve. Probably :)
I was like, why aren't more ppl playing tank, and then I realised, prolly gonna level a secondary for deeps for soloing, cause my guildmates aren't always free, gotta say though, love the mace's cc chain long enough to give you an afk warning lol
I hope you can go Deep with spear stuff ahahha. I. Play only that since instarted on 2021. And in this eu server. And every one say me to change because im bad with that
Spear is a way of life! Or what do you answer when they tell you to change?
@@VicZaneGaming anyway, where can i find more content for learning it faster u.u, you dont have Twitch or discord?
I do not have a discord or twitch at the moment but I am going to figure out a way for more interaction and content soon!!
Thx now im def maxing my carving again!!
If spear is my gf, then carving is absolutely the girl I know I'll try to go for if this one doesn't work out. What an insanely fun weapon!
I married mine, spear....thx!
Great, now I can justify not having a girlfriend by holding a 1h spear 🗿
Absolutely! A girlfriend would slow down fame farming!
To summarize: if you play Albion too much, your only girlfriend will be your in-game weapon. :)
You can play Albion until you find that 8.4 masterpiece girlfriend ;)
Can you help me pick my girlfriend as if she was an Albion weapon?
Absolutely! First you need to decide what type of content you would like to do together. Some might be easier to pick up but I suggest avoiding meta and pick something that fits specifically for your style! In my experience, even though it might seem a bit too expensive at first, it's worth it to go for masterpiece quality.
@@VicZaneGaming hahaha loved that 💜
Mobility is hard to give up once you become accustomed.
Bro has high quality videos but still less than 1k Abos. Let's change that guys
3:50 personally i would disagree with swords being beginner friendly, cause of many factors in the playstyle such as keeping stacks, knowing when to brawl and when to kite which requires game experience on cd management and knowing when and how to reset etc. The easiest being dual swords but even then these factors apply. Love ur content tho just genuinely sharing my view :D
Good point actually. Playing swords can have a very high skill ceiling with the different options that you have in a fight. So far the newer players that I've seen start with a sword have done pretty well though. Maybe they have to worry less about specific matchups than many other weapons.
Dual sword is pretty braindead tbh.
I am unconsciously avoiding pvp because everytime I am winning I get ratted and get killed by a rat. It sucks so much I think my brain just tries to make me avoid 'solo' pvp lol
That's fairly relatable. I think it's very normal and most players have a bit of psychological barrier with pvp.
Me an hour ago:
„Man, I shouldn’t have picked swords. I should have chose a rat weapon“
Me after few mins:
„Nono. I stick with swords, it was me failing.“
Few minutes later:
1. changed skills on build
2. rocks arena
3. gained battle exp through arena
4. rocked mists
Few minutes later:
1. Found this video
I chose my weapons same way i chose my gfs... one for each content 😂
Bro made me divorce my wife
