Hello all, I just returned from royals after a long break, just been doing hp quests past few days. Shadower LVL 165 HP 7.9k MP 2.8k Helm: Scarlion hat 16/37/16/15 Face: smiling mask 4 dex Top: 6 dex 20 luk Btms: 16 dex 6 luk cape: blackfist cloak 6 str 4 wa gloves: WG 10 wa shoe: 15 dex 10 luk belt: white belt 1/1/1/1 (+3 slots) necklace: HTP 23/23/23/22 (+2 slots) ring: almighty ring 3/3/1/3 (+2 slots) ear rings: 10 dex Weapon: Blood Dagger 15 luk / 127 wa Shield: 5 str 1 luk 27 wa Currently only have 1.4B in total. Need advice on what gears I should focus on getting first What bosses should I do daily as well?
Glove, shoe and prolly dagger are probably your easiest upgrades. You can drop 2x Ring60 luk/dex/str on your krex ring and call it a day or grind a better one. Better ears (EP) might help you fix your stats once you swap thief shoes for atk shoes. You could also look into something like 5/10 (DEX/LUK) ifia ears. Either grind a better dojo belt or drop 3x Belt100 dex/luk/str and call it a day until lvl 200. Drop your vote NX into showa (or sleepywood?) for a Maple Leaf. Clean is already better, face DEX scrolls are not too expensive. Just drop 7x face dex60 on one or try a 30 first if you have multiples to boom, either dex or luk leaf is fine, str probably as well as you might not have the all-stat gear yo reset to 4 base STR yet. Then you can also just call it a day until 200 if you're happy with the results. Other ring and eye slots still empty? Just try to figure out how to fill them with something, like ellin forest pq ring, dogshit goggles and a wedding ring. RG will give a decent all-stat ring at some point once you hit 170. To get back into it, make sure to do the dailies (Chao, Eph, Papu) Check out what Rose Garden once you hit lvl 170. You can also do some HP-questing, check out one of the gazillion guides about it. The easy bosses are a great way to get back into it. Zak, krex, Scartar. Wb and glhf on the grind .
Two things I’d add to the above: 1. A 30–32 w.atk shield would be a relatively cheap +3–5 w.atk upgrade. 2. As you work on your secondary stats, your goal should be to equip your weapon and shield without relying on DEX/STR from your cape or shoes. Something like a 6 w.atk shoe and an 8 atk cape are low entry points into “meta” pure w.atk CGS, and would already outpace your current cape or gloves.
Noted on the shield upgrade! would be looking out for a decent one with better stats. With the current AP and equipment i have now, i can replace my shoes. Will be farming for the mesos to buy one. I think the last thing i was doing before i stopped was APR-ing my STR to LUK after i got my HTP.
