"What to buy" for archers~Guide + Questions - Worthyness - 2008-07-07

Hat: zhelm 14str/15dex -->> not sure about this, but i think this is right
Pendant: 2/1/1/1/30hp/30mp/0slots <<< suck at scrolling =P
Overall: 7 str, 18dex red ades << i'm content with this
Bow: 102/2dex fire arund >> have a 108 nisrock at 100
glove: 10 attack BWG
cape: 2 attack 6 or 7 strength PAC
shoes: 2str, 7 dex green lvl 70 shoes
Earrings: clean avg rose earrings

I'm just wondering what would be good to improve at this level (97). around 10 mil in budget. I am a bad scroller, so no scrolling for me. I plan on saving money for SE 20, unless i find it (highly unlikely). Thanks to those who can help me! =)

Pendant: 1/1/1/1 Spiegelman's necklace

Glove: 10 Attack wg

Cape: 13DEX 2 STR Sirius Cape
Overall: 17DEX 3 STR Dark Ades
Shoes: 9 DEX Green SS
Skills: I donno whether I should buy my SE or hunt for it.
Mesos to spend: 60-100mil

I'm planning for a Zhelm asap, then maybe aim for a better bow or overall. PAC's are just to expensive right now.
Oh and Off Topic: Hey Jackk ;D

Hello Anto

I'd say the Green SS can sell for a bit and with that money, you can probably get 11-12 dex dark wings.

And yeah, get a z-helm, then save for a PAC

@arrowhead: i dont really think the wep/mag def makes much difference so either would work. The path you suggested for yourself is pretty good already and I wouldnt change any of it.

@Worthy: I'd say sell the shoes and get 10-11 dex dark wings and get perhaps 6-8 dex earrings. How fast do you level? if 120 is a LONG way away, dont bother getting SE yet. Im 125 atm and I still dont have SE20, lols.

Class: Sniper
Level: 84
Helm: 15/14/15/15 Zhelm o_o
Pendant: 2/2/1/1 30/30 Spiegelman's necklace
Earrings: 8 Dex Single Earring
Glove: 10 Attack wg
Bow: 104/2 Dark Raven
Cape: 3ATT 6DEX PAC
Overall: 15DEX 2 STR Green Linnex
Shoes: 11DEX 3 Slot Dark Wing Boots (Afraid to finish scrolling)
Skills: N/A
Mesos to spend: ~220 Mil

I'm not really sure what to upgrade at this point. I don't want to touch my overall right now because I want to scroll an Ades, and I can't find any better Ravens, or even clean Ravens to scroll myself.

Any ideas?

60% the shoes?

i would invest on a 110+ casa with that money and get to 90 asap. in windia with 200mill you can get something around 115 with that. which would be over 10 attack for you. also 20ish dex overalls are like 20mill go grab one.

I should be 90 in 2-3 days, so I guess I could keep the 104 attack for now, but I haven't seen anything near a 115 attack Casa in Khaini. We just have awful Crossbows, so I pretty much depend on scrolling everything for myself. Thanks for the advice.

If you're going to hit 90 in a few days, then get ready by buying adeses and 30% overall dex for scrolling. That and I agree with Carlos: 60% the shoes. You dont have much to lose (especially if you'll probably be upgrading to Facestompers in 20-30 levels)

Should I go with the method posted above? Hit a single 30% then 100% the rest? Or should I try my luck and try to hit 2-3 30%'s?

If you had 22 mill, then I'd probably say so but you have 220 and that's enough to buy a high 2x dex overall which would be my suggestion (but if you really must scroll, I'd say go for 2 30's to hit, then 60% the rest).


"What to buy" for archers~Guide + Questions - Beaner - 2008-07-08

i would try to get a good casa and depending on money left worry about the overalls. remember each attack is the equivalent of 4 dex or so at your level.

always upgrade weapon>glove>overall>cape>shoes
when you are happy with one move to the next. thats how i do it anyways.

Thanks for the advice guys. The reason I'm so bent on scrolling is that well scrolled Archer equipment is a very rare find in Khaini; to the point that it's nearly impossible some times.

i know how it is, good xbows are rare in windia, and most belong to me and my friends ;D suck for the other archers though

Look at it this way. Your falcon adds 10 dex, a z-helm would add 15 dex AND 15 strength... that's an extra 20 stats. Z-helms look ugly but the extra 20 stats makes up for it (not to mention extra wep def and mag def... extremely useful at HT pirates).

If you dont want to buy a z-helm, you can go get a better dark cordon (or scroll your own?) There are a few 8 atks out there and maybe even a 10 atk. I suppose what you have now is fine (as you have enough strength equips that you can just replace them when you do get a z-helm) but they could be a lot better if you dont mind the looks of certain items xD (Hey, you can always market in MTS and buy an nx set xD)

Dont know about your server but in Scania, z-helms have deflated from 60 mill to 35 mill. You're a little under half way there for a z-helm so you could save up for that. Not only will that give you an extra 10 dex (over your 5 dex maro), but it'll give you 15 strength (allowing you to use the asianic and maybe hinkel without adding more strength in) as well as a lot of wep and mag def, which will save you pot money in training.

That aside, I'd say you could save for a Pink Adventurer's cape (perhaps 2/6 or 2/8?). The bow is fine for now, but when you get to 6x, perhaps you can buy a kandiva and 100% it (or even get a mediocrely scrolled one? You're normal dex so you wont get as much advantage out of it, but the attack is still higher than most 6x and even some 7x bows). I'd say the glove can wait till some other upgrades are done first.

That's all I can think of for now. Hope it helps.

zhelm prices in Bello are hovering around 40 mil on average. I suggest from Forsaken if you plan to, prices for them are 40 reg / 66 vip with quests.

Okay, thanks for the clarifcation. Just that with the extra zak channels, groups of friends are undercutting guild prices and selling at 35 mill now here in Scania and I just assumed other servers did that too.

That being said, I'd say still save up for the z-helm. Its just further away than expected but still a good addition to anyone's gears.


"What to buy" for archers~Guide + Questions - Wiggy - 2008-07-21

Im a level 66 Hunter with about 20mill to buy better equips with.
My current equips are:
17str/16dex Zhelm
16 Dex Blue Tai
9 Dex White Justice Cape
8 Weapon Attack Work Gloves.
86 attack Asianic Bow
3 Dex Green Steel-Tip Boots
Clean Earrings.

I don't need a level 70 Bow because I have a 95attack Golden Hinkel and my lvl70 overall.
Also I have a question about when should I get a 20+ Dex overall instead of scrolling them with 100% scroll.
Thanks for the help Cool
