Hello, I am trying to make my first attacking class with about 6.5b in funds (I have bishop selling leech so I can always grind for more). I decided on making a Buccaneer as the ranged attackers cost too much to hp wash, and buccaneer looks most fun out of the melee attackers. I was wondering how much I should HP wash in order to enjoy most end-game content this server offers. I've heard 15-16k is a good amount to aim for, and if I hit this goal, the only bosses I can't take on are Anego (slap does 18k I believe?) and Grandpa and his bodyguards? Is this true? I've tried to do calculations with the HP calculator and concluded that I don't need to put AP into base int in order to meet this goal. But I am not sure if I used the calculator correctly. Is this true? Also, around how much mesos would washing to this goal take? Is there really a necessity to wash further than this, or would that be merely a luxury? Thanks
For reference, I leveled with 160 INT from level 50-135 and am currently sitting at ~18k clean at level 180, with enough MP to wash to ~22k if I want. You could probably go less than that and still be set for Shao at 145 (12k HP). I would shoot for a minimum of 12k by 145 so that you can Shao immediately, this will also allow you to HT at 155 as well. The only bosses I can't do without HB are Anego (which I could if I washed a little more) and BGA/The Boss. Unless you wish to do these bosses, more is just a luxury.
note: you can do anego without getting slapped as a bucc by just standing behind the bar area and spamming demolition
17k hp is a safe goal for endgame content (toad, ht,auf haven, bg with HB), id definitely advice going over 20k to be more comfortable tho.
