Can you do a first life shiradi on a sorcerer, or do you need one past life?

[Seikojin]

Shiradi is a epic destiny, so yes, you can do it on your first life.

Yes, but to do so, assuming you are 15+ levels of sorcerer, you will need to get 4 levels in the Fatesinger Epic Destiny, then 3 levels in Shadowdancer, then 4 levels in Legendary Dreadnought to reach Shiradi Champion. It's not impossible, but it'll take a little bit of work to get to.

You can be shiradi sorcerer as a first lifer but have in mind that as an arcane you will be able to choose only from Arcane Sphere (Draconic Incarnation, Fatesinger, Magister) and you have to make your way to the Shiradi which is in Primal Sphere.

So you start arcane then build towards primal? Do you have to have other levels?

Ah thanks In get it now.

Fatesinger lvl 4: 1,080K XP
Shadowdancer lvl 3: 720K XP
Legendary Dreadnaught lvl 4: 1,080K XP

So that's a minimum of 2,880K XP to unlock Shiradi; meaning even if you make a beeline for it as soon as you hit lvl 20, you'll be almost lvl 24 before you get to it.

Or you can go 14 Sorcerer/6 Ranger to unlock Shiradi right away... because you can start in any Destiny in a sphere where you have a matching heroic class with at least 6 levels.... Not that that is a great split for someone, but it is a possibility.

6 levels of druid instead?

Would a destiny key purchased from the do store not work?
that way your also promoting the ddo store?
just a thought.

I think you'd need more than one though, I think they unlock one unearned destiny at a time. And that sounds expensive to me vs. just grinding out the path. As Unbongwah said, you'd be nearly level four, but you'd still need about 4 million more to cap to 28, and even after grinding to shiradi, it only takes 1.9 million to max a destiny out. Not really that bad a prospect in practice, it just looks awful on paper because the numbers are large.

Your best bet is 6 levels of ranger or druid. Unless you wanna burn like 5 of these.

In the long run, you're gonna wanna do a bunch of ED grinding anyway in order to earn Fate pts to unlock your Twists. Using Destiny keys or some MCed abomination to get you to Shiradi ASAP may sound appealing, but you're really just delaying the inevitable ED grind. And a pure or mostly-pure sorc is about as close to Easy Mode as you can get for XP farming, at least in EN/EH content.
