Hello. Sorry for the long story. I just started 2.5 months ago and I am completely unfunded 1st character. I did read lots of guides to get where I am currently. I finally feel like my character is getting strong after 4th job. I have about 1.2 billion saved and need some help going forward. This is my first private server btw. Lvl 129 corsair washed HP 8763 with gear Base stats/ With gear Strength: 9 (currently adding to wear lvl 100 gun) / 33 Dex: 561 / 650 Int: 100 / (with washing equipment 170) Luk: 4 / 33 GEAR: this is where im lacking I assume Gun: maple pyrope shooter (lvl 77) 89 att 7 dex Helmet: Zakum :Scrolled 30 dex/13 str Face: Rudolph shiny nose clean Necklace: Spiegelman necklace of chaos +3 to stats Ring: pumpkin pie ring from thanksgiving and temporary ring of christmas spirit Cape: pink gaia clean 3 att Overall: 20 dex bathrobe for men Earrings: Single earring 10 dex Gloves: 11 att work glove Shoes: 11 dex yellow snow shoes If you got here thanks. What should be my next step or best bang for the buck. Currently adding to STR and hopefully will get decent +STR LVL 80 overall to equip lvl 100 weapon that is 100+ attack is what im thinking. Im also thinking I need rings and necklace. Any tips. Any help is appreciated thanks. IGN beatusmeatus
accessory stuff should always be last since the items and the scrolls associated with them are rare + less slots + less stat per scroll. The best ring in the game comes out during valentine's event and it gives +3 all stat +1 att and some other little bonus stats. Your zakum helm is fine, you could try doing the scarlion and targa prequest so you can open up that boss to loot an identical helm with more STR on it without throwing away your current zakum helm. 10-11 dex earrings is where I tell people to stop unless they want to start paying hundreds of millions to even billions per additional stat point. Shiny nose is awesome, can leave it clean for a long time. Go do mu lung dojo and get yourself a white belt, shouldn't take too long. Scroll the belt with STR or DEX 100%, the scrolls should cost 1mil or less. Later you can go for higher tiers, but just having any belt is good for now. You could do cwkpq prequests soon and get yourself a MoN. People are always looking for pirate players to fill in slots. Any MoN would be better than your current necklace and it will help you raise your STR and wa. Later you can get a HTP at 155 or continue relooting MoN. STR overalls are about twice as expensive as DEX overalls due to STR 30% being like triple the price of DEX 30%. However, I think that's probably still one of the better routes you can go for. You will still need to get to 80 STR before you can wear your pirate overall so plan accordingly to get there. Concertos get very expensive after 102-105 att, so aim for something around there then focus on your cape, glove, shoes. In general best bang for buck goes like this: Weapon > Cape> Glove > Shoe > General equips (after getting enough stats to wear your weapon of course) > Accessory items (ring, face, eye, belt, etc) Important starting cape, glove, shoe benchmarks: Cape: 7-10 wa, very cheap (relatively speaking) wont cost more than several hundred mil to 2b depending where you want to go. Glove: 15 wa glove, under 1 bil Shoe: 6 shoe (around 1b) You will get the funds to buy these by just continuing to play and voting daily. At some point you will want to start resetting your int (most definitely before level 155), but I really can't tell you when since that depends on your goals and the people you play with. 96 additional stat points is a lot of damage missing, though damage is no good if you can't survive. HP quest goes a long way to getting to your hp goal sooner.
Thank you so much for taking the time out to type this. This is so helpful. Thanks again. Happy holidays
I'd recommend buying htp early (can get it right now, if you have mesos for it) as it'll likely be better then mon until you get either a LOT of other str sources or a very strong mon. Generally I'd recommend Dex overall as it's cheaper per stat, but they're hard to find so just go with whatever seems reasonable. Remember any str over 30 on a white pioneer is useless (unless going for dragon revolver, which I wouldn't recommend)
