"What to buy" for archers~Guide + Questions
Okay, I'm having a bit of trouble planned ahead to avoid AP resetting as much as possible, and it would be great is anyone could spot problems or with the plan.

This is the equipment set I'm planning on using from 100-120, assuming maker doesn't come out before I reach 120. I'm planning on swapping the cape out for a 3/10str cape, but I don't have it yet, so I just edited the image. I'm also planning on buying a horntail necklace for when I reach 120.

My base str is currently 32, using a raven, and I need a bit more str to wield this neschere at level 100. I'm not gonna opt for the "long-run" route and use a raven until I hit 120 and buy a horntail necklace. My current shoe is 3 str.

Here's what I'm looking at:

Pre-100: 80 str
100-120: -1 str shoe, +10 str cape (swap in for dex), +11 str (base str: 43) (+20 net, 0 for target weapon)
120+ pre-maker: -10 str cape (swap dex cape in), +17 str pendant (+7 net for target weapon)

After the Maker skill comes out, I plan on forging a single Red Hunter Boots with a high-grade power crystal, a high-grade dex crystal, and a high-grade topaz, then pray and scroll with 60%s. Red Hunter Boots averages at 3 str, so that'll make 8 str, or a 6 str increase.
I will also start forging blue armises with a mid-grade power crystal and a mid-grade dex crystal with the intention of tossing on 30% overall dex scrolls, swapping out the top and bottom I'm using right now. Blue armises average at 4 str, coming out to 7 str, or a 12 str decrease under my current 19 str topwear.
So, if I've calculated this correctly, this should make...

120+ post-maker: +6 str shoe, -12 str (+1 net for target weapon)

If I've done everything correctly, that would mean I'd only need to use one AP reset to optimize my stats after maker comes out, capping str at 43. Things that could possibly change this plan include variance in horntail necklace and eventual scrolled zakum helm stats, unexpected maker-related item prices, or a combination of future iTCG sets releasing significant amounts of facestomper materials and continued reintroduction of the gachapon box event (which might lead me to decide to use chaosed facestompers).

Can anyone find any mistakes within my plan there? I'm also open to any suggestions or advice.
