if the magic formula is as crappy as people say it is, would people be paying 50mill to upgrade an 11int cape to a 12int cape (before dark scrolls, and before hp washing)? pay 50mil for 1 int when you wont even experience a noticeable change in damage?
that mentality still exists today. magicians will pay hundreds of millions to a 9/15 earrings to a 10/17 earrings. thats only 3 matk.
In all fairness, that's not just the magicians. One point of attack for non-magicians is more than one point of int for magicians, but give me a break. 15 att wgs are at like 800-900 mil, and that's high enough, but if you get a 16 att wg in the market the high-lvls will descend on it like vultures, paying God knows how much. I think settling for a 14 att wg is perfectly fine, considering that if you average out your "settling" with various parts of your equipment you'll probably end up with better gear overall. That is, the 2 points between 14 att wg and 16 att wg are such a difference that you can get a godly overall, or a godlier weapon, by settling for a 14 att wg. I think most of the people with such mesos simply don't have to settle for anything, whatever class they are. My friend could do max damage on holy weak monsters already, but he bought a lvl 130 elemental wand over his 105 ma att shine wand so he could do more damage to the non-holy weak monsters. I don't understand that because if you 1hko skeles, I think that's pretty much all you have to shoot for; that's where the big xp is at. But not all people think like that.
If none of that convinces you, keep in mind your own words in an earlier thread -- you said that at lvl 138 you get as much xp per hour as some lvl 19x Night Lord. Two guesses which of you spent more on your equipment. I completely fail to see why the NL is considered the min/max class when the mages (including the "sucky" f/p) completely total him in xp accumulation.
