Incidentally, we at MapleSEA would kill for that kind of mesos exchange rate if we could all move over. Okay, so this is how I am building my Phantom who's still a work in progress because I have yet to finalize my pendant, weapon, card and probably a top + bottom if I don't feel like I'm already going over the top (Ha, ha).
Presenting: Project Miser Mastery!
World: Bootes
Budget: 400k cash (I could go higher, but really, I'm kind of close to what I'm already aiming for). Just so you know 400k cash is equivalent to RM 1000, which is about 333 USD.
Class: Phantom
Sales: Just the previous Valentine's Day sale. I bought 27 cubes for about 60k cash which was worth it as my three cubed items can go for an upwards of 400k cash.
Self-scrolled?: Yes for all items.
Summary:
- My previous budget for my Phantom was only about 2 billion total and 40k spent aiming for a Dark Angelic Blessing plus 12k spent on transferring a 6 WA Witch Belt, along with 15k spent trading a PSOKable shoulderpad for someone's 15% LUK Bunny Mask. I lucked out and managed to craft some nice items including a 9% LUK pants that I'm still using which put me at about 54% LUK before Phantom was even out.
- I decided to spend much more when Veracent was released because nearly everything I had was 6% and above, but not without fusing! I estimate that I easily blew over 6 billion mesos simply potting and fusing during this period as our potential scroll prices shot up the roof but I was able to supplement myself by selling Darkness materials. I stopped right before the SoK sale ended (2 SoKs for 12k) as I had accumulated 4 epic 3L rings and 1 unique 2L ring to sell when the event ended, plus I kept one unique ring and one epic ring for myself. Both attained legendary status and 15% all stat in a total of 9 cubes but my belt sadly ate through the rest of my cubes.
- Next, I decided to get more equips to increase my LUK%. I found two sellers who were dealing a 15% LUK cape and 15% LUK earring for 50k and 40k respectively so I quickly snapped that up because it was about as cheap as one could get. I did have to use a Perfect Innocence scroll on the cape since it was scrolled horribly, but I managed to land all my 60%s on it and get the earring to 8 LUK. I still need to Perfect Innocence my first ring unfortunately because it has built in WA and my Miraculous Chaos from Andy failed.
- As for future plans, my current plan is to buy an epic 3L CHTP for roughly 26k (11k + 15k for PsoK, not decided yet) a 15% Czak for 50k maximum, 15% VSS for 40k hopefully and self-scroll a Dragonic Ange de la Mort. I may switch around the items since there's a nice top going for roughly 65k which is already nicely scrolled but that's about it for now. I plan to cube a bit more, but only for my belt since it's 12% LUK with 2 junk lines.
Total used: ~ 11 b mesos, ~350k cash?
Current range: 75.1 k
Total LUK: 129%
In general though I'd recommend building accessories, then armours and finish off with the weapon. While the weapon is the most important it's also the most expensive, a lot of classes now have an exclusive weapon and you wouldn't be able to fully appreciate it unless your accessories and armours are tip-top. In that sense I'm more than delighted that I picked Phantom as my main because even the top Phantoms at my world prefer the Dragonic cane due to its inherent 20% damage bonus against Cygnus, her knights and Pink Bean + statues.
