Hi! I've been lurking on South Perry for a while now, and I'm finally a member! 
Now, to serious business.
I play Dementhos as a server.
1) What's easier:
Gaching repeatedly at Showa in hope of Yellow snowshoes?
OR
Buying them from FM for like 40mil?
OR
Just grinding till I can kill Anego on my own?
2) At what level would HP washing + Berzerking be beneficial? Should I play through for gear and stuff and restart my character for full washing benefits? Should I go through, not wash, barely kill bean, make the "Infinity Spear", level that to max, THEN restart for a perfect Dark Knight?
3) I tend to use a Maple Impaler AND a Maple SoulSpear. Up till now, since my Crusher is still low, PowerStrike seems better. (Due to my Impaler being so fast)..... However, I noticed that if I do Crusher with my Impaler, it goes at the same speed as my SoulSpear. To make a long question short, does this mean that Crusher ignores weapon attack speed?
4) What would be a good method for getting an INT weapon for when I finally DO wash?

[COLOR="Red"]1) The easiest is buying them. You won't be able to kill Anego until around 150 at the very least, and Gach sucks.
2) As soon as your zerk is around....6k or so it's good, and hp washing will...obviously raise your zerk level. 20k max hp with level 30 zerk means 10k zerk. Figure it out yourself. That'll keep you alive for skeles and you can probably Pap in there. Cwkpq bosses are a no-no until around 10k zerk. (Mine is 13k... )
3)No. Not even close. Try a Slow Spear (like a Pinaka) vs. Sky Skis. It doesn't look like much, but as Fikk keeps gallantly reminding me, you can get 6 more crushers in over 60 seconds with the Skis than the Pinaka.
4) If you need an int weapon...probably go with a Wooden Wand...unless there's something that already has int on it. Although you can just borrow a wand from a friend...:f6:[/COLOR]

Since theres question relate to Sky Ski and Pinaka might as well ask here to save from another thread being open for same question over and over...
Assuming 107/5 Sky Ski vs 115/10 Pinaka, which one would have higher damage output over time? I tried to use some calculator thing to figure it out myself (with zakum as test mob lol) and the result from that shows Pinaka wins out despite the Slow speed (well I cant be sure on the speed value of Pinaka... so I guessed and use Slow 7...)

[COLOR="Red"] Just use this and throw in your normal values. Take the Ski value and multiply it by 1.1. If it's higher than the Pinaka value, it's better. Although Fikk says a 100 Ski is better than my 126 Pinaka, I'm not sure I believe him quite yet...
1.1 will give it to you because the Ski gives 66 Crushers per minute as opposed to the Pinaka's 60. 60 x 1.1 = 66.  [/COLOR]

hmmm I dont really get what you mean  So I might as well show the test result I had up using the program from here
Two of my spear on test is 107/5 Str 11 Acc Sky Ski and 115/10 Str Pinaka
Here is the result in spoiler:
The conclusion I draw from that is Pinaka wins out despite the slow speed, higher weapon attack and str bonus helped somewhat?

1) Thanks for the speedy replies, guys. Yeah, I think I'll just invest in Yellow Snowshoes then. It seems a bit stupid to gach moar for them. Two runs of gaching consisting of roughly 50 tickets showed me that :../
On a lighter note, they are only like 40mil or so on my server. I personally have 13 mil, so I can get them semi-soon I guess. At least before I gain 20% and hit 71.
2) Though HP washing for Zerk purposes was touched, no one went into my dilemma fully. Would it be worth it to get a bit up there for gearing purposes and then restart my character? Or would it be more sensible to play through the game (Get high leveld, kill bean, make and level infinity spear) - Then restart? I didn't HP wash from low levels because I didn't know it existed, so I'd be at a major disadvantage compared to other people as I do it considering I'm level 70 already.
The more ideal HP wash run, I'd imagine, would start as early as level 1. Black Bandana, Yellow Work Gloves, Yellow SnowShoes, Raggedy Cape (Scrolled for INT), Hardwood Wand, Amethyst Earrings, and Bathrobe.
Later, switching to Zakum Helmet, (Shroud of Darkness/CWKPQ cape), and/or using GPQ earrings BEFORE Amethyst Earrings. [Currently I only have Amethyst]
3)Around what level would CWKPQ become doable?

[color="#cc8899"]I've only been washing from 135 or so with moderate INT gear and have 21k hp @ 153. Don't worry too much about that.
Cwkpq is doable for a warrior as soon as you have rush (you'd be a rush mule), but 130-140 is the earliest you'd be genuinely helping damage-wise.[/COLOR]
