Hi everyone, I'm new to this great game. I found there is too few lances in the shop to buy. What's the best lance in the game?where can I get it?
 
Check out the equipment list thread which is stickied in this section for the stats on lances and just about everything else. I've found that if shopping around in the different smithies doesn't get you anywhere, then try getting into a battle with a group that includes a knight/s (you don't find to many militia running around poking you with their lances).

Since I've only been here for about three days, and I'd be willing to bet that most of the people here don't know who *I* am, I feel kind of wierd welcoming you... but welcome anyway!
 
As per preference, the best lance is either the double-sided lance or the great lance. The double-sided lance is faster and has better damage, but since hardly anyone ever survives a couched attack from a great lance, it's sort of redundant. The great lance, on the other hand, has much better range, so it's safer to use.

For non-lethal weapons, it's either the jousting lance or the iron staff. Again, the iron staff has better speed and damage, but the jousting lance is the longest lance in the game.
 
I once started a similar discussion. Seems that a lot of people like both the great and the jousting lance.

If you are not sure about how to use a lance, read this:

This game doesn't have magic weapons or sth, so most weapon can pop up in any shop, including these two lances. If that's not enough, go for mods. I've heard of a mag7 mod with rune weapons, but I haven't tried yet.
 
I like the Great Lance because of range, and because it limits me to using another weapon as a melee weapon. I give Borcha the double sided and have seen him take out Dark Hunters with it, but never a Dark Knight.

Love great lance and jousting lance for the reach. You can counter-charge couched enemy without any fear as they all wield lances and spears and will go down long before they can reach you. The first for the killing and slightly more punch while the second is useful for prisoners such as knights and noblemen.

Doublesided lance packs more punch and is more usable as a stabbing tool. However, I don't find the extra risk worth it and pack a melee sword/axe anyhow.
 
i go with greatlance/shield and my secondary weapon is just a 1-handed sword + shield. I use the shield way too much, i couldn't imagine not having one.
 
I find 2Hers more useful than a shield tho.

Just use the lance to approach the missile troops with shield covering you and quickly switch to a 2Her to kill em.
