Did I just totally screw up my bishop?

    I did not know there were luckless based weapons in the game. So now I basically have a lvl 75 priest with 72 luck.
    I did not intend this character to be my main, but I did want to use it to leech any future characters to high levels. Therefore I do not have the intention of getting this character to 163 (where the extra luck does not really matter (I think) because you have a much higher m.atk luck based staff that comes available at this point). And even if I wanted to, leveling would probably be much slower and I would earn a lot less because my leeching is terrible.

    Do I now either have to pay 1.2 bil for ap resets or start all over if I want to 1 or 2 shot mobs in the same manner as other luckless bishops? This will be really demotivating since I spent 30 hours grinding in the last 4 days, and I would probably just stop altogether. I don't really want to pay 1.2 bil, since the intention was to leech a dexless sin for my main, and gain enoigh money to HP wash and buy equips. Doing it all over again just seems really boring xD.

    I could also keep this character as a lvl 81 HS mule, but I fail to see much benefit to this as my intended main (dexless sin) would clear mobs way slower than a bishop with genesis would.

    I hope somebody could give me some advice on what to do next. Any advice would be much appreciated!

    I am personally not a fan of leeching, but I know that those who are, and are serious about it, prefer to make another mage (usually F/P I think) with which they do the actual killing. Then they keep a HS mule to provide the best possible EXP for whatever character they are leeching.

    That is one (out of many) ways to go

    You could kill all low lvl mobs with lvl 1 gen and no gear so the luk won't matter. WS will be harder since you need like 1000 magic but it won't be that difficult either, and if you 1 hit WS you'd be able to 2 hit skele too. You won't be able to 1 hit ulu 2 or skele even if you had 4 luk anyway cause it requires high lvl and you said you're not planning to get to 160.
    So I don't think you'd lose that much by playing this character unless you want it to be your main, and if you're serious about selling leech it would be better to make a fp mage cause they can 1 hit things a lot easier than bishops.

    You're fine for now, every day when you vote and receive nx just slowly and gradually use ap resets and get it lowered. I wouldn't say all the way to 4, maybe lower it to 40-50 base luk and go from there.

    Even if you do not care about this being a high level leech pimp, just slowly and very gradually reset the luk down. It's not a big deal and the difference between 1 and 2 hitting larger mobs is huge and your luk problem won't be the defining factor as stated in the above 2 replies.

    If I were you, I'd make a F/P mage (cheaper to 1 hit mobs as a F/P mage than an I/L mage or a bishop) and just level your priest to 81. That way, you can leech your characters and eventually sell some of the best leech in the game. It's okay that you didn't go lukless on your priest, just go full lukless on your F/P!

    That way, your F/P and your priest will always be relevant to the game. Your priest will offer HS to your characters or buyers and your F/P will clear mobs!

    Thanks everybody! You have helped me to regain some motivation. Question: if I use a HS mule and a f/p mage for leech, doesn't it mean that party members individually get less exp? Since there are basically more people in the party then if it would be a single bishop.

    In all fairness, I don't think I am serious about selling leech. My goal is mostly to leech my main and make some money in the process which serves to fund my main. But I am kind of a perfectionist when it comes to games and I instantly get haemorrhoids if my character is not as good as it could be. And seeing as this is not a small thing that I can just overlook; I will either follow your suggestion or just restart my bishop.

    I appreciate all the replies!

    It depends. Ur main leech goals as a F/P will be ulu2 and petris.
    As a hs mule, you will stay on lvl 81(first lvl with max hs), so you won't get exp there.
    If you will want sell lower lvl leech, you will have to invite the hs mule to the party, hs and leave each time. It can be annoying but if you will learn use the chat command it can be done fast.
    I started to 1hit ulu2 as a lvl 128 F/P with not that good gear. It is amazing.

    Like everyone else said keep the priest at lvl 81 for HS mule, and instead of seeing it as an imperfect character, see it as a character buffed with amazing mage equip. lvl 80 mage equipment looks awesome.

    You can use the shitty lounge button instead of leaving party now. You won’t get warped back to town for using it (unless they change it again).
    But anyways, /bringbackFMbutton .

    Creating a Fire Poison Arch Mage is truly the way that u can make use of your current priest to the fullest!

    When your priest is lvl81 it probably have maxed Out Holy Symbol, and it will not leech any EXP when you are selling leech services!

    *Check out Dual Clienting*

    Moving on!
    F/P mage requires crazily little fundings and they a easy to level up! Especially after you get ur poison mist! (3rd job advancement)

    Skillbooks are cheap, Equipment are cheap (they can be used to wash ur dexless sin!)
    And their skill looks pretty damn cool!

    You should make this fire/poison to 13x and start selling ulu2, and if you are even more funded, by LOTS of Swiss cheese and sell 1hit petri! You will level up super quickly!

    But the main objective is that you will make big amount of money! Almost 180mil/Hour once u start 1Hitting those petris!

    Good luck!

    EDIT; Oh your current priest will be useful when u wanna train your Nightlord,
    When going bosses like krex, its always nice to have a door + a HS mule!!

    Yeah I am already on my way with leveling a f/p mage! I'm actually pretty content with the decision.
    This way is even more efficient (and try hard). It looked like I made an incorrectable mistake, but it might have turned out for the better in the end!

    Also, your 4th job books are dirt cheap. Meteor 20 is like 5 mil. Last i checked, genesis 20 was 800-900 Mil. I bought my last meteor 30 book for 100Mil, genesis 30 is over a bil. Save them mesos XD

    Also, you get that damage bonus for meteor with the 130 elemental wand that you wouldn't get with bishops. I've never sold leech, only used my fp to leech my own NL and BM to 135 and it's lvl 169 now. They level insanely fast. Good luck, f/p is best mage <3

    Damage multiplier from 130 wand! And together with another multiplier from element advantage on petri! So good!!
