Holy shit this game's equipment system is driving my autism up the fucking wall. I'm trying so hard to have updated Purple Warrior of the West armor but it costs literal millions of gold to soul match it so I just keep forging new pieces of Warrior of the West armor altogether.
Is it even fucking worth it to do this? Should I just say fuck it and just equip whatever pieces of equipment have the highest defense/attack rating?

desu Nioh is one of the few games I think could be dumbed down a bit as far as the gear system goes
>>379542969
in the first run you just care about gear level, dont worry about reforging and soul matching
when you get way of the strong is when reforging matters
then both when you get to way of the demon, by then money wont be a problem because of 1.06 missions

so just equip whatever makes my numbers go up and sell the rest for now? I feel like I'm wasting hours and tons of resources on this equipment trying to keep it updated
It's not worth doing any soul matching or farming for amrita/gold. Use the best equipment you can find, and then beat the game. Then you can start working on your equipment.

Stay the fuck away from that shit until you reach ng+. At least. Then you can go full blow autism.
You're only wasting resources and money on equipment that will be outclassed by random drops by the very next mission or so during ng.

Okay thanks, I was wanting to just say fuck it and just equip whatever but I was just needing some confirmations so I can actually turn my autism off
Also when do Nodachi actually become a thing in this game? I saw the wooden version for a brief second in that duel mission and it seemed to have a different moveset. Shoud I be saving up Samurai Points to put into additional weapon types?
Man, a game with such intense Diablo tier equipment should really have a lot more multiplayer features and levels.
I'm only on the third fourth region so far but it feels like a lot of work to just slap the same couple of demons around a little better

You can easily get enough Samurai points to max out all weapon types.
Onmyo and Ninja skills you will have to spend much more conservatively though.
I can agree with previous comments. I wasted too much time soul forging my gear in the first playthrough. Just push forward, and start in ng+

Is PvP balanced properly? Like will it actually put you against equally leveled players?
>>379545530
3 op things right now, Iai for single/two sword and saika bow builds
the former getting weird back attacks and being quite powerful at a distance if played like saika himself
>>379545530
No, PvP is a wildland.
But it's fun regardless. I did two day so PvP and got my waifu transformation while only being lvl 70

and one more thing you will always need some form of both types of jutsus to really compete
buffs and debuffs are seriously strong (except sloth)
