How difficult will it be to properly fund my Battle Mage?

This is such a vague question with so many possibilities that I have no idea what to tell you, so here is a vague answer.

Depends if you are satisfied with Empress gear or if you are trying to go all out and get Tyrant/RA equips. With 0 funding, obtaining the "best" equips is impossible as they are not only extremely limited in supply, but also extremely expensive. If you can get nx, it is still going to take a long a'ss time to find and purchase all those equips and even longer if you want to scroll and cube them yourself.

It is definitely less of a headache to buy things prescrolled/cubed, but that does still run up quite a bill and you still need to put a lot of effort into finding them and dealing with the sellers.

Also if you don't have link skills, you are probably going to want those and that will require a lot of effort training mules.

To be more specific:

-I have around 10m, which is a very low amount of mesos.

-Pre-scrolled is preferred

-I'm not looking for godly equipments. Just somewhere in the "good" to "very good" range. But not "insanely good", as that translates to "irrationally expensive".

-The equipment I have in mind (pre-scrolled preferred):
~Fairly good empress equips (Entire set)
~Lv.163 Elemental Staff
~Evo rings, as I missed out on those events


The staff is the big one. Also note, though, that it is a long term goal, and not something I expect to have anytime soon (Its something I want to work towards). What I'm inquiring about here is the amount of time all this will take assuming that I am trying to climb my way up to the amount of mesos needed to purchase these items, through methods such as merching and crafting. If I'm leaving out any details, then I'd be happy to supply them. I'm pretty new to working the market and all/don't have much experience.
