The following belts are the ones thatprovide the best stats to Clive, and while all of them are viable to use, you are going to want to decide if your build is going to be geared more toward increasing your Health or your Defense. you may also learn how to obtain each one of these belts so that you can have it in your head while you play through the game.

The Drakeslayer’s Belt will become available after you havecompleted the Blacksmith Blues side quest. Once this quest is completed, you can craft the belt at The Big Hammer with:
Boastinga 74 Defense stat, you could do a lot worse than this belt, and it’s not too bad to get ahold of either. With the easiness of finding the belt, there’s no reason not to use it when you find it.
