I'm a level 53 assassin and I have the funds for a zakum run. However, I only have 1600 HP. What is the most efficient way to get up to at least 1900 hp so I can survive a zakum run with hyper body? Should I buy hp scrolls or should I level up and use some AP resets with the little MP that I can wash? I have invested no INT so I've been sitting at 4 all the way until now. I want to get about 30 int before my next level (I have enough money to buy int equips) so I can start gaining MP as early as possible. Any advice would be appreciated.
Are you dexless/low dex? I'd definitely begin HP washing and invest in INT gear. Washing is necessary for NL's to survive boss-runs. At this point if you're desperate for HP definitely find gear and scroll it with HP scrolls. This would be a question that'd probably be better answered by a person with NL experience like @Plenty , @Sila , or @Michael (more than myself)
If you can think, make money using the fm for int gear so you can get higher hp. If you can't, make a bishop and level it to the point where you can sell leech, then use that to fund your assassin.
I'm neither. I suppose I messed up but I have relatively high dex right now (about 100). I want to start HP washing but I would like to obtain a zhelm so I can start gaining extra MP. But right now I don't have enough HP to survive. I need about 300 extra base HP to go on a run. I don't know if the best way to accomplish this is to buy HP equips or spend a little bit of money for AP resets to start washing a little bit of MP before I have any INT equips.
I have a ton of money from gach. I'm funded enough for what I need to obtain INT items. My problem is getting enough HP to survive Zakum. Should I start with some HP washing from the little amount of extra MP I have received from job advancement or should I buy HP equips?
My advice would be get as much int as you can for your money, then level and use resets on every possible point you can reset, if you have to stop and make more cash for resets then do it. As soon as u have the hp during that process do the run. Keep getting more int and washing after you have the helm aswell. Your just going to have to get it a few levels later. You can alternatively get the Int gear and HP gear now if you have money to mess around. Then get the helm immediately, but that just seems like a waste of money to me unless your really loaded.
Actually, HP washing isnt mandatory or necessary. It helps! But with a drk, NLs can boss up to HT without needing to HP wash. HP washing will allow you to boss earlier on, or without worrying about the safety layer of a DRK. For getting your zak helm and being 300 HP short, try asking around for HP scrolls. They're pretty much given away for either really cheap or free. Just smega it every so often and ask your friends/guildies whenever they gach at shrine. An emergency tube is about 150 HP or so , the rest you can get from half-decent equips. A hat, top, pants, and earrings should help. That's assuming that you need the 300 HP even with HB to survive. Check out the NL guide in my signature for more detailed info about HP washing and bossing, I think we covered it pretty in depth there.
Do this, seems easier for your issue than what I said. I would still wash though if you want your character to be the best it can be.
