    I quit around the time the new source was implemented and everything broke, and I'm having issues figuring out how I'm supposed to be developing my character from here on out. I am not sure what equipment I should be upgrading to prepare for Zakum and other bosses. I would also like to know where I should be grinding (HH hunting? Skeles? Where should I leech?)

    These are my current equips.

    [​IMG]
    Zakum Helmet: 32 DEX, 0 slots
    Maple Leaf: 12 DEX, 0 slots
    Earring: 10 DEX, 0 slots
    PGC: 4 atk, clean
    SCG: 11 atk, 0 slots
    Top: 18 STR, 7 DEX, 0 slots
    Bottom: 18 DEX, 0 slots
    Dep Star: clean
    Boots: 8 STR 6 DEX, 0 slots
    Stonetooth: 120 atk, 10 STR, 0 slots

    What should I focus on first? I have about 200m right now. Thanks in advance.

    Im a lvl 124 hero.
    I grind ToT ML4 for earing INT 60% and if i feel like it ill grind thesilver mane quest items for money (selling)
    For exp i usually go to ulu 1/2 - petri or ToT RoR 4.

    Range is good for a unfunded hero.
    Things i would save for: facestompers - better ST - better gloves (option is chaossing the pgc)
    And try to get in a krexel run for a krex ring.

    Your hp is tolow for bigfoot (duo with a drk) but at 135 you can go as a zak/krex attacker and start making good money.

    feel free to buddy me. ign Leonas

    Tbh i don't recommend looking for zakum at 135 because you only will have Brandish maxed. I suggest at least waiting for 140 to get your ACC maxed as well.

    I personally think 146 and 150 are the best levels for bossing because you get your Stance to 80 and 90% respectively. At those points you will be doing constant damage without being knocked off.

    [Not an expert but] Gear wise you should consider ugrading to better scrolled Top and Bottom, a 15 att glove and then save money to get a better ST and FS. Once you are able to krexel you should also look for it's ring drop with 6+ Dex and Str.

    I personally would stick with ToT and train at the highest reacheable map, although you could d your research on the drops to see which spots have decent drops. You could do some HH (BF at later levels) for fun too.

    Since you have already reached 4th job Leeching is only an option if you already have a strong Bishop mule for the Oblivion 2 and 4 maps, otherwise it's too expensive for the speed.

    I made an excel spreadsheet to play what-if with 1h+shield vs 2h st.
    The conclusion I got from it was before you can afford att 135+ ST, it is more cost effective to stick with 1h + shield with attack even when you use stopper/apple

    For an example:
    If 130 st cost 3b, you can achieve similar damage output with 128~130 sparta + 18~20 attack shield, which cost under 2b.

    I've seen 128 1h sold at around 500m~800m, 130 1h sold at 800m to 1.2b, and 18 (350m ish) to 20 shield (500~700m ish).

    Shield and 1h sword is a more expensive to match damage output on 135~146 st, so my recommendation to you is stick with 1h+shield that cost around 1b~2b total, work on glove, cape, shoes, then come back to upgrade your sword.

    Training location wise, ulu2/petri/skeleton/hime/tot party with HS are always good. Just go where you can find a party
