Newbie looking for advice. Tired of waiting. Poll included.

TL; DR: Had a bad day and failed my fifth Genesis 20 today. What should I do? (Please vote)

* I have 250mill left and cannot afford any more books right now. I can't one shot stormbreakers without Genesis 20. What should I do?
* All advice, trolling or not, welcome. Please do not feel bad for me. People had it way worse when this server was new. 5 failures isn't even as bad as some other people! I did not buy books when they were 200mill thinking prices would go down and I was too poor to afford 100mill Genesis 20 books (That [200m] ship has sailed. And I missed the [100m] train.). I should have listened to my own wisdom and just bought the 200mill books (the historical average) when everyone else was rushing to buy them. Now I pay the price with Genesis 20 and 30 prices rising every day. This is the price of hubris. This is how supply and demand works. Welcome to the real world stoopid.

Spoiler: My story rant. 4chan style. Dramatized.

Invest in your Bishop in my opinion, I've had similar experiences (failing my first MW20, failing 7 gen30 in a row) but you only have to pass once, which will happen soon hopefully.
Investing in your Bishop first will help a lot with increasing your meso/h so you don't have to work as hard.
Making attackers and gearing them first will require much harder work and a lot more patience from you, but to each their own.

 

do daily APQ as alternative, that's how I get through failing two 1.3b gene30.
focus on one attacker first so you can join zakum, krex and later cwkpq.

Take it slow. Unlike in real life, here you will reach your goal eventually and the grinding will be part of fun too.

 

U can afford a 196 wand which is around 3b+ in less than 2 months of playing . I dont think fail some gen 20 is big deal to u, or im wrong??

been playing for like 2 years and still happy with my 188 wand
