i read many views stating TK weapons aren't really needed for the quests we have. i agree to a point. ive done bow, loved it. done mage, loved it. tried ss and axe, not really for me. about to try longsword. at one point i decided that i would save my VoT's till i had enough to +20 one, then split my saves and make whatever i wanted. but the thought of remembering whats what and not overwriting the wrong one and etc. turned me off. so i figured i would just make one now.
my question is which TK helps the most for a class? do you really need that much more INT and SPR for staff? does the extra stats for the bow make up for its lower damage? same thought on ss & spear, does the extra stats put them more on par with other DD?
any advice would be appreciated.

I'd say Spear and Sword (shortsword) has t....... Shortsword gives Str and Dex - really awesome for damage dealing and since the combination of Twin Blades, Daredevil Stance, Furious Blade and such powerful weapons will surely devastate anything that's weak to Slash and Strike.
Spear gives Str and Vit - Str's not so awesome... but the extra Vit from the weapon's awesome, even at +8, that's a nice bonus to complement the True King Shield. .......
there is TK Shield? i never see it with the toad, what do you need to make it appear?
sorry if it is a noob question

tbh i dont find tk worth it unless its +15 or higher until then its not much a damage boost from lux or madoras @ +20 i use lux veda and tk staff my tks @+10 but its draws about 40% more aggro than my lux staff until we get harder qsts i think the weapons are a waste of time
i'm not that bothered by -9 Dex as I used to be, mostly because the other benefits it gives is too good to pass up on - most notably the 20 Def. sure, since you're rocking a shield, that's not all that much to you but it really is a nice boost for everyone else who isn't Axe, heh.
But since Sword uses a ton of multi hit attacks, Dex is really important to you, I know that.
I'm going to have to test out if something crazy like 200 dex is worth it as Longsword and all that, lol
That is a really good question - DEX and LS since they have multi-hit attacks as well. For SS I run DEX at about 160 on average (TK Sword helps on this), it varies by gearset, but seldom dips below the 150 mark. It's one of the better ways to max out the damage for Sword. I know that an STR build would give me higher DMG, but on a higher GR quest the DEX means I hit consistently and do more damage in the long run because there are far, far, fewer misses and more criticals.
I'd imagine LS would benefit similarly.

i'd have to say the gandivam, veda, beat out the tk bow and staff becuase the extra 16 mp they give
Veda gives 100 mp at +20. I have no issue with MP using true king's staff. The HP, SPR, and INT is too much of a boost for me to even bother with Veda. Veda is also -100 HP. The only time Veda is useful is when you need extra MP.
But then for the MP you have options including a different armor build and accessories. I only use items with penalties if I really like the look of it, and the quest is not demanding. You'll only rarely see me wearing the Minerva Quill, for instance, because of the penalty it brings. I love the look, but only wear it when I know that I am not gonna need top stats.
