Ask an Aran thread.

Sell that rat mouth then you can go 4dex easily.
Its not worth 7dex for like 800m depending on hammer or not.
If not then its still possible to go 4dex with 300m.
Ill tell you what to upgrade tomorrow gotta sleep.

Super Snowboards in GMS have W.Atk of around 70-80. I've seen as low as 68.


How many slot increases at job advance do Aran get?

Sorry, I don't know. I never really cared enough to check.

I currently have a 124 att Zedbug. How much attack would I need on a normal speed Polearm to match that? I have an 87 att clean White Mop, which I bought because I passed a 30% on an 86 clean one and then failed 2 more 30% and 2 60% on it and gave up.

I "think" it works similar to swords and stuff, and 1 weapon speed is like 10~ attack

Maspan would know for sure and some other people, but I think he posted saying

clean purp surfboard (Fast 5) (93~) is around 12x zedbug (Slow 8)

And pretty sure he said a clean arcglaive (Normal 6) is also around a 12x zedbug

So that 124 zedbug is prolly like 100~104 normal 6

*Just guesses, get a 2nd opinion, but i'm sure my numbers aren't that far off from the true values

It's not a constant w.atk, it depends what other gear you have and all.


On my DK, 124 Zedbug ~ 105 Normal weapon with Warrior Elixirs (174 vs. 155 total atk), 124 Zedbug ~ 92 Normal weapon with Apples (262 vs 230 total atk).

TBH there's a good reason people make a fuss over the Normal speed. I've seen Arcglaives up to 107 clean, which would definitely be better than the Zedbug. A 122 Arcglaive beats a mid 14x attack Slow weapon easily, so will basically any purple surfboard that's not bombed (110+)

Looks like I'll be needing a Bucc to train with to stand a chance here. I only made the Zedbug for the fact that it cost me a total of 20m to make a 124 attack one.

I'm not good at choosing equips for warriors, therefore, could you please tell me what do I need to upgrade for my future Aran?

15/16/17/15 8 slots Zakum Helmet
14 DEX earrings
1 STR 1 DEX Spectrum Goggles
10 DEX 4 Attack Pac
15 ATK SCG
7 ATK Witch's Purple Belt
5 DEX 2 Attack Facestompers

.. and a Circle of Ancient Strenght. :f6:

So? Do you think I should try getting a STR Top and a DEX Bottom? If yes, which ones?

Also, should I try getting a STR cape or is the 10 DEX one good anyway?

It's double hammered, but the thing is I need my 7 dex rat mouth as I'm still playing my hermit and bandit. Both need that dex boost.

If you have the money try and scroll yourself a good makered str top, throwing in some accuracy stuff on both the top and bottom if you need it. Assuming you're going dexless that is.

keep the str cape. your gear is pretty decent. i wish witch belts were tradable between accounts otherwise id both karmaing my 9 atk one from my main but its not worth the hassle, (my arans going on a lvl 200 account anyway for a 20 atk boost)

i found the best board would proly be a perfect base super snowboard at 85?atk, perfectly scrolled for 130 at a fast (5) speed. the dps u would have is just nuts. then again its rarity is off the charts as well

oh and does anyone remember crimson arcglaives require 80 DEX to wear?
lmao

the next perfect weapon would probly be a godly heavenly messenger with a speed of 6, and 90 base atk it could go up to 135. after that a crismon arcglaive if you can manage the 80 dex requirement to wear it.

i spose its all dependent on whether or not Arans can cwkpq. or people wanna use dex overalls and stuff.

Purple surfboard with speed(5) and 99 average atk is probably the best weapon... but even rarer than a super snowboard.

Arcglaive's 17 higher base atk makes it definitely better than a Heavenly Messenger. It's not like 80 dex is even worth 17 atk, let alone how much dex you'd need to add once you factor in dex gear (my Paladin has +64 dex for example, and I have a clean ZHelm and shoes scrolled for speed)

Sorry if this was asked before, but after maxing triple swing, combo smash, and 19 mastery, do you guys go body pressure or drain? And, please tell me why you picked your choice ( benefits ).

It doesn't matter. I went Combo Drain personally, because it saved a lot of pots. After, I did Body Pressure, then finally Final Take.

I can't speak for 3rd job, but unless you train at really hard hitting mobs, Drain will let you train potless through all of 2nd job. I got it to a usable level in my early 50s, and maxed at 58/59. <3
Got one in the Rush skill (I use it more for movement than anything else), and went on to Body Pressure.

My question,

For arans, how much slots for 200lvl aran npc there is? Is it like just one or full map(s) like for cygnus?

Hey guys, how useful is Whirlwind exactly? I still see Fenrir Phantom getting more use than it, so would dump points before Final Take go into that?

Silly question here...
For combo smash, is it "down + right + attack"
or "down + front + attack" (so if facing left, left)

Whatever side you're facing.

So left would be 'down + left + attack', and for right it would be 'down + right + attack'.

My question,

For arans, how much slots for 200lvl aran npc there is? Is it like just one or full map(s) like for cygnus?

There is a whole map. It's basically just like the first map of the Cygnus one. It has the 3 podiums at the bottom then I think 2 or 3 rows above that. There is just 1 map. Last time I looked there was someone on the 2nd podium but no one else in there.

Silly question here...
For combo smash, is it "down + right + attack"
or "down + front + attack" (so if facing left, left)

You can do it in any direction. If you are facing right and you press left your character will turn to face the left then use the attack.

I don't know if this has been answered but how do you get that level 30 polearm (For Arans only)? On Basil it's a pre-aran quest.
