What do I need for the Sixty-Six Dawns build?
Outlaw Warblade (Jing Ye), Tianxuan Bronze Sword (Master Bi Yuan), Bastion, Kuye Temple Prayer Beads, at least the Jewel’s Knot and Battleforged accessories, and the Kuye Dew and Longevity Tonic medicines. The table “How to get all the gear” shows where each piece is.

Are the damage figures official?
The accessory percentages are the ones published by Vandal (Spanish guide) and SoloJugadores. The game does not show the weapons’ base damage, so the build is based on their effects.
