Visitor Armor -- How should I upgrade it?

This. ThaiMS did not get the PQ permanent, as far as we know. You shouldn't assume you will get it permanent.

One of the PQs for the PQ quest is the Hob King PQ and some of the NPCs in Stage 2 has English names (amelie88 or something) so the patch was translated from the GMS version. JMS also has outrageously expensive miracle cubes so Nexon Japan would want to release more lev. 127 weapons/acc.s.

I saw on Basil that the cap for required number of upgrades to gain visitor status is 12 (level/10 up to level 120). Is the cap 10? Can you scroll one equip after you get them to visitor status?

I'm not planning to cube anything w/ these outrageous prices (costs $1.82/cube or $18.29/11 cubes) so I'm getting a +40 dex equip if the cap is 10 and I spend everything past 10 on one equip.
