Hi !
I'm really new to this server and tbh I haven't been on a private server for a while ^=^
In the current version of MS, you only need the basic stats to wear equipment,
but being as in this is an older version we need the secondary stats as well.

I noticed that a lot of people have been using only the primary stats and wearing equipment that dupes the requirements, which seem very expensive .. and kinda confusing ^^';
I was going to roll a NL but I figured I should stick to what I know and make another Bishie..
[TL; DR] I was just wondering if I should try to go no luk, low luk , reg luk ..? will I be judged/unwanted in late game with either of these options?
Thanks !

Lukless mages are best, since you can just wear elemental wands and scroll bathrobes for int.

No Luk. Here is my discussion on this topic:

There's been a debate on whether going the traditional route of adding Luk to wear higher tier weapons and armors is better than going Luk-less and stick with only weapons and armors that require no Luk, but still give a sizable amount of Magic Attack and Int. I'm going to give my side of this argument, but feel free to choose one over the other for whatever reason you may have.

I believe going Luk-less is the better choice between the two. Why? I'm going to prove my stance by debunking common claims:

The higher tier weapons have much higher Magic Attack than the lower tier weapons

While this is true, most of them also require a bunch of Luk. Take, for example, Elemental Staves 5-8. They have extremely high Magic Attack, but with an extremely high Luk requirement to wield them. 1 Int equals 1 Magic Attack whereas 1 Luk doesn't increase Magic Attack at all so we can just subtract the Luk requirement from the Magic Attack and we'll get the actual value of the Staves itself. Of course, you will have equipment that will add Luk, but it's not going to be enough to even consider the higher level weapons.

With the Godly System, I can easily get clean equipment with higher clean bases than Luk-less armor

Again, true, however let's not forget that Luk-less Mages will also have a good amount of Luk from equips such as Zakum Helmets and Horntail Necklaces. With those Luk boosts, Luk-less Mages have access to lower tier Luk Mage equips that also play a role into the Godly System without having to put a single point into Luk.

Lower tier armors have barely any weapon defense

Weapon defense doesn't matter much when you're thinking long term. Most of the monsters hit high on you whether you have a lot of weapon defense or not. The armor pieces that arguably gives the most weapon defense are Zakum Helmets and Horntail Necklaces which both are Luk-less.
