Outrider PvE Build Guide
Last Updated:June 12, 2025|Changelog
Welcome to the Outrider PvE Build Guide. At first glance, Outrider synergies seem non-existent. But the added Skill Damage Boost and Heavy Attack Chance gained from Greatsword skills like Vital Force and Cold Warrior increases the damage of Mortal Mark exponentially! You see anywhere from 50k - 200k+ damage when Mortal Mark pops with this Outrider PvE Build Guide. Normally Mana Regen is the bane of every Crossbow user's existence however, with passives like Victor's Morale you never have to worry about Mana Regen again!

Gear Progression
During T2 Gear progression, Queen Bellandir's Toxic Spine Throwers becomes the highest PvE Damaging Crossbow due to the added poison.
If you plan on PvPing in the future, just use the PvP gear shown in our Outrider PvP Build Guide for PvE. Unless you're going for high tier dungeon runs, PvP builds should suffice for PvE content.
- There is no "Best Build", Talandre Gear allows for a wide variety of builds leading to different metas depending on your Server.
- Use the builds as a base, and swap different pieces around to fit the stats needed to combat your Server's meta.
- With the introduction of earrings to the game, use whichever provides you the most Dexterity or Wisdom to increase your overall weapon damage in PvE or to hit additional Stat Breakpoints.
Chaos Harbinger Set
- 4 Piece Chaos Harbinger Set gives 100 Critical Hit + 9% Crit Damage.
- Use Monster Bird of the Plains: Solar Stone and Monster Bird of the Plains: Lunar Stone to further increase Weapon Damage by up to 30!
T2 Early Transitional Buiild
- This build is used just as a transitional phase to get started with T2/Talandre.
- 2 Pieces of Death Set and Abyss Slayer Set ensure high damage output.
- Abyss Slayer Set items are from 2 Star Dungeons so no milestones needed to unlock.
T2 Full Build
- This build reaches high levels of Critical Hit so Abyss Slayer Set helps to further the Maximum Weapon Damage being used on those Crits!
- The Imperial Seeker Set allows the user to gain even higher Critical Damage!
- The tooltip is wrong, gain a base 15% Critical Damage with 1% extra per stack (up to 10 stacks)
Lvl 50 MSQ Build
Lvl 55 Post Talandre MSQ Build
- Post Talandre MSQ Gladiator PvE Build is enough to start working towards the recommended T2 Epic Builds.
