Going to update this as well as other guides once Winter Break hits and I have a bunch of extra time. I think a lot of my guides could use a bit of a face lift and updating.
You might want to add in that when comparing perfected items, people must realize that to compare to a perfected ST you must have a perfected sparta + shield (10 slots more, 10 slots worth of WS) to even be relevant to the ST. Even so, the ST will outdamage the sparta + shield when using a heartstopper.
Not true. Without also having an exceptional cape/glove/shoe (18 atk min each if I remember my old calculations correctly) and dex equips such that your base is under ~20, a perfect sparta and a ~20 atk shield will tie a ST on stoppers. With an exceptional cape and great dex equips, yes you will need a perfect shield as well. It's even easier with a carabella, of course.
Unless I get proof, I'm going to stick to the assumption that the maximum attack that a clean end game weapon can get is +9 from the average despite how much I want to believe it should be +10.
And nobody else found one in over a year of several people slaughtering skeles? Statistically impossible.
I have to agree with the 83attack i found about 5 in total from 120-200. An 84 att king cent would mean a 108att sparta is possible too and no-one has come across one, as far as i know.
It can, like @Goofy said, if you solo. If you're planning on being serious with your Warrior, it's worth investing time into making an HP Buccaneer for Speed Infusion and just bring it along with you wherever you train.
