"What to buy" for archers~Guide + Questions

A z-helm would be good as it will allow you not to have to put more points into Strength to use an arund/metus (what base strength do you have? All those nice strength gears are going to waste with the kandiva, lol).

That brings up another point: Bow. That can use a major upgrade at 80. Assuming you spend 50 mill on a z-helm, you have 50 mill to get a bow, which would probably be a 104-105 arund. That's a 8-9 atk upgrade, which is more than any shoe can add (even at 3 dex/atk, you're gaining 24-25 dex equivalent in attack and its closer to 4-5 dex/atk at your level, meaning even more. You're not going to find 45 dex shoes anywhere xD).

In summary:

1. Z-helm (then you wont have to pump strength to use higher bows)
2. Bow (make use of the strength equips you have + major attack/dmg upgrade)
3. Shoes (cause they're clean and your dex can come from there. If you spend it all on your bow, then you can get 8-9 dex dark wings for now though I would say ultimately, you'd aim at 12+ dex dark wings, which are 25-30 millish I think).

Oops, forgot to mention, my base str is 42. Also, I managed to get a 107/2 Fire Arund and moved it over to Bello, so that's set. The cape and earrings were hand downs from my Paladin.

At 50 I was wearing the Olympus and decided rather than getting an Asianic then a Hinkel I'd just get a Hinkel and go pseudo-strless until 80 and pump str for the Arund. I also thought of earning a Zhelm myself but the diminishing prices of Zhelms and the fact that I would have to switch my str cape out for a dex one and still have too much str made me scrap that idea. I'll use the cape to cap my str instead.

I will perhaps be able to get a helm for cheaper, so... lets say I have 70m to spend excluding the helm. Should I blow it all on shoes or is there a better way to spend that money?

Thanks for the helpful post btw. =)
