Gravecaller - legendary sabre

Crookspur beach behind merchant

Around 10 stealth

 

Also comes with a legendary heavy armour

[Marigoldran]

You can also get both Crookspur items with Bounding Boots stealth trick for free.  

 

But yes: the Crookspur items.  

 

And Lord Darryn's Voulge.

Lord Darryn's Voulge is also extremely useful as it can negate storms allowing you to pass through with +5 moral.

[Haplok]

+10 Morale if you have Xoti pray before

[Myztik]

How is that useful? Just sail around the storm and food is plentiful

[Haplok]

Eh, but it's pretty awesome flavor-wise. You kinda absorb storms into your pollaxe!

[Flucas]

Updated. Where do you get Darryn's Voulge?

[Marigoldran]

Island in the South East.  There will always be a storm next to the docking point of the island.

Superb Arquebus

Sayuka fleetmaster office

Mechanics 7 (I think) :/

 

Superb Warhammer

Sayuka Longhouse

Pickpocketed key with 5 sleight of hand

Or 13 mechanics for the lock.

 

Also for whatever it's worth:

I grabbed Frostseeker without a fight with 15 stealth and a sparkcracker.

[no1fanboy]

where is frostseeker?

[Haplok]

On the Neketaka island, just west of the town....

There's also a nice Acolyte's Frostbite handaxe on the same island, in a cave a bit further (but the enemies there are not very easy).

[Mannock]

where is frostseeker?

In an encounter just west of Neketaka (on Neketaka island).

[Dorftek]

If you'd switch name on this thread to "strong early equipment" and we could add armours and possibly jewelry to it as well?

Platinated Plate 
Legendary heavy armour at the same spot as Gravecaller on crookspur with same requirements.

[Flucas]

Added the items so far.

 

Changed topic title.

[Dorftek]

Got a couple of updates, The superb warhammer requires only 3 sleight of hand to get the key for the chest in Sayuka longhouse

 

In Crookspur u can go into Crookspur fort with a bluff 8 check or pay 2000copper and get the unique large shield "Shining Bulwark"

 

As of beta patch 1.2 Obsidian have placed a lvl 15 lock on the chests/crates with the Platinated Plate armour and Gravecaller Sabre on Crookspur beach

 

Also i managed to get the Frostseeker with 2 spark crackers and 12 stealth now. Sneak around the mobs on the south side, use spark crackers to lure the lurkers away because they will spot u quite fast. Grab the bow and head out from the opposite side of where u came from. I have it recorded:

I don't know why everyone skip first legendary club from port maje (https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Shattered_Vengeance), this is one of the best weapon against bosses for all martial classes

Club curse stacked 6x times and give you +26% damage to all attack against target to infinity period of time

I've given that club a fair chance. Even tried it with a one handed style flurry monk to try and stack that curse quick enough but it just builds up way to slow to justify the low base dmg of the club. It is good with the modal to lower will but imo that's about it.

Yep you need only stacked curse debuff, then you can switch on your favorite weapon. As I written I used it only on bosses. DW it with any range weapon to increase recovery speed for all non monk classes

 

With enough accuracy monk can spam full attack, I usually use it with saber that give you +% to lash damage

Pure monk can spam L9 ability which hit target multiple time, but now pure monk has so much OP abilities that you usually don't need this debuff :D

 

You can always pick rogue and apply curse + generate cold lash with crippling strike and reset fight :D

Just discovered this thread - very similar to the one I created a few weeks ago and very useful!
