Does the ship take damage from environment?

It takes damage from things like Yeti ice clouds. I'm not sure about the environment, but I'd assume so. Seems like a pain to stand in El Nath lava or something for 10 minutes just to break it.

I figured DoT clouds would do it. I got curious about the water as I was questing in Aqua.

Oh I honestly have no idea about water or cold. 6 damage per 5 seconds...I'd need to be sitting there for over an hour to even see my ship HP move.

Kay, this is a dumb noob question. I know Slingers need high level guns to do good damage, and not many equips can be scrolled for STR, so permanent STRless is probably a bad idea.

But now that pirate Maple weapons are out, should Slingers start out STRless and add STR later on, like a thief might, or add STR at the beginning to help with melee (SSK) leveling in first job, like an archer might?

I'm thinking the latter, but I don't know.

Melee levelling on archers is an outdated concept from back when people balked at paying a couple thousand mesos a level to use arrows. SSK's damage with a gun is just low. It's still based on dex. Unless you mean using a spear to level. I wouldn't, really. It's going to make you weaker once you start using a gun and the first 30 levels take almost no time at all anyway.

You can go STRless until about level 80 or 90, if you can get your hands on good Maple guns. I don't think the extra damage will make a significant difference, but it's up to you.

i was wondering since the battleship usually has more hp than the user:
if an attack usually one hit kills you, will you just die without the ship taking damage or will the ship get damaged and you still die anyway?

Rule that will never change and is 100% true: If you take X damage, ship takes X damage.

Question. So. I'm making a Gunslinger; That'll be my project for the summer. I'm thinking STRless will be pretty...not all that great. What about Low STR? Would that be a good option? I'm kind ofish funded, and when maker comes out I can be extremely funded (Thanks to Diamonds). Or should I just be a full on regular str gunslinger and cap it at 60 or 70 or so?

o-o what's your definition of low STR? A regular build encompasses using STR equips to equip your weapon, but still using the high level guns. Some people refer to it as low STR because they feel that a regular build has to mean you use all of the highest level armor and weapons available to you, which isn't true at all. Regular build is the best way to go.

As a level 56 slinger, I've been wondering- when should I cap my strength? I'm probably never going to end up with a zhelm, but I'm going to try to get a nice str/dex agent hat, so we'll see how that goes.

Skill % * 4.

Total % per attack = skill % * 10.

1) Replace the overall with a 10 dex bathrobe. 10 speed will help a ton.
2) 10 attack work glove.

Either upgrade to a 10 att wg, as stated before, or upgrade your cape to a 3 attack 2-4dex (a "bad" scrolling like that shouldn't cost more than 50m). If you want, 100% your knuckle for the time being, unless you're saving it for future scrolling.

as stated, 9~10 att gloves would be a good upgrade, also could look into scrolling a new shoes, or buy one for cheap, i got my 9 dex 10 jump 5 ACC Black Basile shoes for only 10 mil, but that was most likely a bargain. I would also suggest working on getting the Agent earrings and chaosing them with the agent scrolls til you get something pretty decent. Other than those, you could work on getting a Deputy Star.

His cape could use a lot of work, even a scrolled Icarus (2) or something would be good. That, your gloves, and the event earrings are you priorities for now, as is doing something about your weapon (but that's not as big a deal, unless you level slowly). I'd go for the gloves first, sell your old ones for appx 18-22m, and use that money to try to work on your cape. Look into quests that give cape 60% scrolls, or do Guild Quest to get a good supply of them.

Am I buying a DEX, 3 Attk PAC?
Or buying a Clean 3 Attk PAC and DEX scrolling it with 5 60%s myself?

Also, the Agent Earrings, are you suggesting a Chaos Scroll the permanent ones?
How do I get those, and what if it blows up?

Shoes: Do I get Facestompers?

Also, the Agent Earrings, are you suggesting a Chaos Scroll the permanent ones? Agent Chaos scrolls, and yes.
How do I get those, and what if it blows up? They won't blow up, but you can get more. Simply keep re-doing PQs and recollecting the scrolls (etcs) that drop.
Shoes: Do I get Facestompers?You can't afford.
