Martial Knowledge updating?

iam117

i was never involved in the grind for martial so im unsure of where it drops from, what google has told me is that is can drop in Sanctum (along with a couple other places);

first question is this true?

second question if it is true will it be updated to cp160 based on the patch notes in 2.4.0? (quoted below)

"Updates to Sanctum Ophidia
Venture once again into the depths of Sanctum Ophidia!
Sanctum Ophidia now features a Normal version in addition to the Veteran version.
New surprises await as the denizens of the Trial have attracted the aid of a new Bannerman, the Serpent Fang.
Stonebreaker and Ozara have had their difficulty increased. As a result of this change, their accompanying rewards have been improved.
****Items and Weapon sets obtained in this Trial have been updated to max level, which is now Champion 160.****
Sanctum Ophidia will now scale to the level of the Trial leader, much like Dungeons do currently.
When you start the Trial at max level (Champion 160), you will qualify for the Leaderboards.
Points for Leaderboards are awarded in the same way as other Trials (monster kills, vitality bonus and time)."

It drops throughout Craglorn and can be found in the Craglorn daily coffers. But it has never dropped from any of the Craglorn trials.

(It also had a chance to drop at VR14 from dolmens and, in the period between IC and Orsinium, from dungeon bosses.)

In any case, why do you want it? People rarely used the 5p bonus, and you can get the same 4p bonus from Overwhelming Surge. With the introduction of Julianos, there's really no reason to get a set like this.

@code65536 just wanted to for testing specific to the 5th bonus, if it was going to scale to cp160 as for where i got the info, i found a video stating to grind it out of so (chests) and here is a screenshot stating the same:

I thought it dropped in Sanctum Ophidia?

That information is horribly outdated/incorrect.

I'd never seen Martial Knowledge drop in Santcum (or even Vet City of Ash). The only way to get the VR14 versions was to farm chests in Dungeons once you were VR14, as most other locations at the time didn't scale up to VR14 and Chests in the Craglorn overworld scaled to VR11 or VR13 but rarely did it wield VR14 Martial Knowledge from my experience.

There have been some inconsistency with Craglorn lately though. A guild mate of mine got a VR15 Martial Knowledge Shoulder and I got a VR15 Pendent of the Storm Knight recently from one of the coffer you get for completing a quest in Lower Craglorn. I'm not sure if these sets did get upscaled and are only obtainable via quest coffers (which would explain the lack of people commenting about VR15-16 Craglorn sets because no one really does the quests) or if this just a visual glitch as is often the case with these sort of things so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

it drops from normal group dungeons (silver) and Cyrodiil delves. i've got it while leveling to V16 on alts.

i've never gotten a piece in any Vet dungeon.

If it was updated it would he the same 4 piece as overwhelming. This would be good because it's easier to grind mobs than vICP (assuming MK still dropped from mobs if updated), and it's also bind on equip not pickup.

4x MK, 2x kena, 2x torugs, 3 willpower?

Lol there are so many people on xbox buying vr14 MK thinking that when DB drops those pieces will be CR160.

Martial Knowledge dropped from chests in Sanctum Ophidia, information isn't incorrect, you just couldn't pick it up from mobs or anything like that.

If you are looking for the 4pc run this



(the 5pc is nice for bursts in pvp i guess, I used to do toppling charge into dawnbreaker with it)

Since IC mk will also drop from random mobs in Cyrodiil delves.

ИВАН_ВОДКА

in DB you will also find three craglorn sets
MK, air, fire
in the silver and gold zones
but again no more like CP140

If I can't get a decent Kena shoulder, this is the way to go. But it requires dual wield, which lacks a spammable ability next patch.

5 kag, 2 torug, 1 Kena, 3WP does the same thing, but you can use a destro staff.


I have a question: I notice a LOT of sorcs doing max magicka and seducer. And they seem to know what they're doing. The build depends on 46K max magicka for damage, and 2200 or so spell damage. I know those have better sustain, but do they do as much burst as a 3200 spell damage build with 40K magicka?

Anyways: I like the idea of those MM builds, but I don't think they'll work next patch when you have to front-bar shields.

Everyone say Kag. But ...

I think Magnus is way superior cause the 4 pieces is way better meaning you can switch

resto or destro/ Snb

sword/sword/destro or Resto

or Snb/Snb

Have a real good 4 pieces and still have a nice 5 pieces.

4/5 Magnus/2 Torug/2VD/3WP
4/5 Magnus/2 Torug/1Kena/2VD/2 transmut
4/5 Magnus/5VD/3WP or 2/3 Transmut
4/5Magnus/1kena/2 torug 4/5 transmut

And so on. ...Using Magnus permits many many more interesting combination than Kag.

The only diff with kag is loosing 93 spell power but gaining mag recovery instead of health ... + the 5 pieces eventually.

OP, I grinded a lot in cyrodil dungeons last year from VR14-VR16 and VR14 Martial Knowledge dropped, along with Way of the Air and others.
