And what can I get with 70m?
Also saving 20m for a Mount, and an amount for pots and survival.

I thought up a skill build for myself so that I'd have max flame and 26 ice by 103, and was wondering what you chaps thought of it.

It starts off as you'd expect...

70: +1 Burst Fire (01)

89: +3 Octopus (12)
90: +3 Octopus (15)
91: +3 Octopus (18)
92: +3 Octopus (21)

Then this is where it starts to get funky...

93: +2 Flamethrower (02) +1 Ice Splitter (26)
94: +3 Flamethrower (05)
95: +3 Flamethrower (08)
96: +3 Flamethrower (11)

101: +3 Flamethrower (26)
102: +3 Flamethrower (29)
103: +1 Flamethrower (30) [MAX] +2 Gaviota (03)
104: +3 Gaviota (04)
105: +3 Gaviota (07)
106: +3 Gaviota (10)
107: +3 Gaviota (13)
108: +2 Gaviota (15) +1 Octopus (22)
109: +3 Octopus (25)
110: +3 Octopus (28)
111: +2 Octopus (30) [MAX] +1 Homing Beacon (12)
111: +3 Homing Beacon (04)
112: +3 Homing Beacon (07)
113: +3 Homing Beacon (10)
114: +3 Homing Beacon (13)
115: +3 Homing Beacon (16)
116: +3 Homing Beacon (19)
117: +3 Homing Beacon (22)
118: +3 Homing Beacon (25)
119: +3 Homing Beacon (28)
120: +3 Homing Beacon (30) [MAX]

My reasoning for this is that once I get to 10x, himing should be great exp (or am I mistaken?). 21 octo will be enough at newties for me, and if it's not I've been lended a bishop with which I can leech to 100 (but that's no fun...)
Once I get to 103 with 26ice and 30flame, himes should be easy prey and easy exp. Once I get to 111 I'll be back at newts.

IllegallySane Wrote:I gave Oblivion 4 a shot, and I love it. I tried to play it safe while still killing at a reasonable pace. Here was my statistics when adding in Barrage after just about every Backstep Blow:

~152 Honsters an hour
~6m EXP an hour

I feel like I may be doing something wrong though because MasPan clearly stated getting 7.5m an hour. My EXP rate is definitely better than Skeles MD soloing however. Maybe I'm not killing fast enough with a range of ~2,200-4,000 (~2,400-4,400 with Warrior Pot, ~2,600-4,800 with Energy Charge)?

My way of circling the map once I enter the map from the portal:
1. Clear the bottom from left to right
2. Boomerang back to the bottom teleporter
3. Clear mobs on the 2nd platform to the right
4. Climb up to the top right platform of the map
5. Clear mobs to the invisible teleporter to the left
6. Clearing remaining mobs on the top left platform after teleporting from the right top platform to the left top platform
7. Hop down to the 2nd platform, clear everything to the right
8. Hop down on the lone 3rd platform and clear mobs from left to right
9. Hop down from the very right so I can clear all mobs at the bottom from right to left
10. Repeat steps 2-10

Muthaphukka Wrote:Is a reverse equinox worth it for a low dex buccaneer or should I buy a godly king cent? Instead of having to invest in another 20 dex, plus all the scrolls and time pieces required for the reverse equinox.

Takebacker Wrote:A reverse equinox is more worth it than any other knuckle for every single bucc who has enough dex to wear it. Which is pretty much every single bucc anywhere.

More blunt answer: An equinox kicks the s'hit out of every single other knuckle ever made.

Muthaphukka Wrote:Im not convinced

I need 20 more dex on my equips, and if I fail at scrolling one, I've just lost out on either a ton of mesos, or a pomegranateload of time. King cents are readily available, clean or scrolled.

MasPan Wrote:[color="#cc8899"]Remember, I'm an entirely mob-oriented job. I benefit highly from having strong, fast spawning monsters. I definitely use more potions (400 or so ginsengs an hour or more). I am also higher level (by about 10).

I'll make a rush/mob training diagram later to show what I do, but it's mostly
1. Clear top right
2. Warp to top left, clear, jump down
3. Rush and fury my way ---->, finish off mob, jump down to left-most edge of bottom-mid platform, kill all. Jump down to right most corner of bottom, rush <------- and kill, use bottom warp to go to top.
4. Rush ---> and kill from center of top, start from 1.

I tried training there again last night/this morning, and my results were 12% an hour on 2x with 162m to level. I'll work out the math on that.

-Edit-
Wow, that's 19.44m exp an hour, or almost 10m exp an hour solo on 1x. *Spaz*

Compare to 5-6m an hour at skeles solo...[/COLOR]

IllegallySane Wrote:Marmalade. Curse your insane EXP gain. Although I don't feel sorry for your pot consumption. I have about 45% the HP you have. I would hate to imagine you burning 600-700 pots an hour if you didn't have Hyperbody.

I need a Reverse Knuckle.... the extra 10-15+ attack may help a ton.

Takebacker Wrote:10-15 attack? Jesus what's your knuckle now?

IllegallySane Wrote:With Item Maker coming out, there's no point in buying a godly weapon. I hope to land a Stimulator as well as a 2 attack diamond on the Reverse Equinox, and 60% all the slots.
