With the much-anticipated Spear of Thrones and Liberty set to release on December 5, many players are eager to get ahead of the game and prepare for day one success. Whether you plan to make the Spear your new primary weapon, or take advantage of the new opportunities it brings for crafting and trading, this guide will break down the most efficient and optimal steps to help you get started quickly. With a focus on MMOEXP, a popular trading platform, to make your Spear build even more handy, consider buying Throne and Liberty Lucent from MMOEXP in exchange for key core materials. Now let's explore.

1. Preparing for the Spear's Release: Key Weapon Drops

To get started with the Spear, you’ll need to acquire the weapon itself. There are several spears to look out for:

· Shyal Spear: Likely to drop from the Cur Wasteland Onear Dungeon. Focused on Perception stats.

· Carnik Spear: A strong option, focusing on Strength stats.

· Dead Man's Beheading Spear: Dropped by the World Boss Junot, this is expected to be one of the easiest and best options to obtain.

· Queen Bellander Spear: Known as the Ark Poost Spear, this is another option for those seeking a high-end spear.

If you're looking for perception-based builds, go for the Shyal Spear. If you prefer strength-based stats, the Carnik Spear will be your best bet. Once you’ve chosen your preferred spear, you’ll need Dimensional Salvation Essences (two to craft the spear). It's a good idea to stack more of these Essences as you’ll also need them for unlocking the spear's traits.

2. Crafting and Unlocking Traits for Profit

For those of you not immediately jumping into the spear as your main weapon, you can still profit by crafting the spear and selling its traits for Lucent. You'll need to gather Onear Dungeon Tokens and chests containing these tokens to craft the spears. Additionally, start collecting Junot Participation Reward Chests since they may contain the Dead Man's Beheading Spear. This spear is expected to be one of the most accessible high-level options.

Don’t forget to save your Abyss Currency; there’s a high likelihood that epic-level spears might be available in chests. These might serve as better alternatives than the One-star Dungeon Spears.

3. Maximizing Your Weapon Mastery

Once you have your spear in hand, your next objective will be maximizing Weapon Mastery. Here’s how to prepare for the release:

· Dimensional Tokens: Keep your Onear and Two-Star Dimensional Tokens at 3,600 (the cap is 4,500). This way, you’ll have enough to craft the spear and earn the Training Dues needed to level up your Mastery.

· Resistance Contracts: Each completed Resistance Contract will give you 4 Training Dues. By completing 69 contracts, you can earn a significant number of Training Dues, which translate to Weapon Mastery Experience.

· Battle Pass Tokens: Use Battle Pass Star Shop tokens to buy additional Training Dues and Abyss Contract Token Scrolls, which further enhance your efficiency when leveling up your spear.

You can also purchase Weapon Mastery Food (such as the Golden Apple Pie) from the Star Shop, which provides a 50% Weapon Mastery experience boost. Combining this with your Abyss Contract Tokens will help you gain experience even faster.

4. Optimizing Gear and Skills for Spear

When it comes to gear and skills, here’s how to ensure you’re set for the Spear’s release:

· Gear Setup: You’ll likely need gear that complements heavy attack chances and critical damage. A two-set Field General for melee-heavy attack chance and a two-set Shadow Harvester for critical damage will work wonders. Additionally, a helmet that boosts both Critical Hit and Hit Chance will benefit many DPS classes.

· Skill Builds: If you’re planning on fully committing to the spear, you’ll need to use Skill Conversion Books to transfer your current main weapon’s skills to the spear. But be careful, as the spear’s skills will require testing. To start, it’s more efficient to upgrade the spear skills to Level 1 Purple, and then refine them once you get comfortable with the weapon.

5. Preparing for PVE and PVP with Spear Builds

Now that you’ve got the gear and skills in place, you’ll want to tailor your build for different content:

· PVE Farming: Focus on AOE skills and heavy damage to handle large mobs effectively.

· PVP Small-Scale and Large-Scale: In PVP, the spear’s potential for stun and damage can be a game-changer. Make sure your gear is optimized for survivability and attack speed.

· Gate of Infinity: The Spear will perform well here, with its mobility and damage-dealing potential.

6. Final Preparations and What’s Next

When December 5th rolls around, you'll be ready to make the Spear your new weapon, or profit from crafting and selling Spears with valuable properties. Also, keep an eye out for all the new content that comes with the Spear's release. Be sure to check back for updates and guides as new weapon masteries and skill builds become available. Be sure to TL Lucent buy from MMOEXP to complete a comprehensive Spear skill and gear build.

Good luck and may your preparations for the Spear's release be successful!
