Okay. I need some help on deciding what to do. I've currently got about 300 mil., and have a Overall DEX GM Scroll 100% from a few patches ago and an Advance DEX Crystal waiting to sell.

I bought an 88 ATT, 0 slot (no Hammers) White Fangz from Brick (Takebacker) and currently have it as my next weapon upgrade. But I saw a 93 ATT, 13 STR 0 slots (no Hammers either) White Fangz up for sell for about 300 mil.

Should I buy the 93 ATT one, pretty much emptying out my pockets completely and resell the 88 ATT White Fangz (along with the scroll and Crystal) or should I just stick with the 88 ATT White Fangz? Or should I try to haggle the price for the 93 ATT one down a bit and still buy it for a slightly cheaper price if I succeed in haggling?

[Takebacker]

+4 attack is not worth that kind of difference in cash as far as knuckles go. Your fangz can last until when/if you hit 120 and when/if you get the best knuckle in the game. (equinox)

You should sell your stuff (except the overall dex, those just keep going up in price), save the money, and hit 120. Whether PoTs have deflated by then or not, you can use your money to get the pieces you need. (Just ask and i'll help you out; i got 7 pieces from training to 145 yesterday.)

Okay. So. I recently picked up my Gunslinger (again). He's level 69.

1) Where should I be training him? I honestly can't find anywhere semi-decent than what I remember. No, I will not resort to leeching.

2) Skill builds. I know I need to get Max Burst Fire ASAP; but what after that? I don't plan on going to Newties til about 9x (Going any earlier makes it seem slow as hell later on). I kind of want to add one point into Gav, Flamethrower, and Ice Splitter right after I finish Burst Fire. Would the Flamethrower and Ice Splitter be any good at level 1 (I haven't looked at any skill tables for 3rd job yet, and I have Blaze and Glaze Capsules already)? And what should I do after those 3 points, if I decide to do so? Go for Max Ice Splitter, or go for Max Octopus?

3) Also, how does battleship exactly work? >.< All I know is that there is a way to board it on and off with no CD.

To the best of my ability

1) Level at either c-2 or Golem MD then you can go to Windraiders with level one burst.

2) I didn't touch Newties until about 90 and I went Max Burst->21 Ice->21Flame->30 Octo->9 Ice->15 Gav->30 Homing. I honestly dont recommend Flamethrower until after beacon. I never used it in 3rd job, but I dont doubt its usefullness. Ice is super useful at level one and flamethrower isn't.

3) I dont know yet

You use the button to board/unboard it, it only gets a cooldown starting from when it "breaks". Which happens after you take a certain total amount of damage while on the boat. The damage only resets after it breaks, so it's just a matter of time (unless you get off the boat before every time you take damage).

1) I did Windraiders at the pure spawn map.

2) I do not have Flamethorwer yet but I would imagine that it is nearly useless at level 1. After you max Burst Fire, I would recommend getting Ice Splitter to level 21. Memory Monks become easily available with level 21 Ice Splitter, so you can stay away from Jr. Newties for a while.

3) What exactly do you want to know? Battleship has it's own hp. It's cool down last 90 seconds. You can dismount by clicking the buff icon in the top right corner. Speed is reduced to 80% while mounted (I forgot if jump is reduced or not).

Lvl 65 brawler, wondering if theres anywhere faster than wr (lol i dun think so)

Anywho, Kents at when? And my equips are moderate, w/ a att pot that i use all the time, 4k with CSB 1.8k with SSK and about the same, a little higher with BSB, DU does moderate damage as well, about 2.5-3k each hit.

Im guessing kents at late 7x.

And a little assistance with bucc build, my plan is ether 1 trans then 21 shockwave, or 4 charge then blast.

What am I supposed to do to level between level 33 and ~42? CPQ I guess? It's hard to train anywhere with pretty unstable/low damage.

Sniping Retz is extremely easy and decent experience. CPQ will grant you better experience though.

Assuming I can probably get myself a good partner(s) and pretty much leech off them, haha (which I've done a few times already).

THANKS. I'm gonna check that out. Sniping is win.

Ok I need to know what to upgrade now that I have some money. I'll post my equips and have you guys tell me what to upgrade. Right now I'm thinking Earring and Overall but tell me what you guys think.

Zakum Helmet.
Veteran Adventurer Medal.
3 Attack 6 Str PAC.
Silver Deputy Star.
93 Attack 4 Dex Peacemaker.
8 Str 11 Dex Overall.
No Earrings.
2 Str 3 Dex White Belt.
8 Attack WG.
6 Str Clean shoes.

I have about 70 mill in pure mesos and about 50k in NX right now. So that's pretty much my budget. Any ideas? Thanks.

You can easily Maker and 100% a 9 Str 15 Dex overall and a pair of 6 Str 5 Dex clean shoes for less than 20m. Then I think you're best off upgrading that glove to a 10 att or so.

could also get a MoN when they fix CWKPQ, only 35mil for 10 atk

[¬Rob]

Mmkeh, I recently advanced to Buccaneer, and was messing around with Dragon Strike..

I was wondering, what level will Dragon Strike's damage make up for how god-awefully slow it is? (For training at Himes or TT.)

[GunisBack]

Yeah I haven't been saving money for a MoN since I could probably sell my Silver Deputy Star for more then 35 mill which would easily cover a 10 atk.

11+ it is better than SSK. 11+ is better than blast. 21+ it is better than everything.

Training wise, in 2nd and early 3rd job which would be better (Brawler)? More speed, or more atk? I have a couple choices like 10 dex / 2 atk vs. 8 dex / 10 speed cape (or 10 str/10 speed, depending what other dex stuff I get), bathrobe vs. pirate overall, speed shoe (whitebottom) or maker'd str/dex shoe. With CSB/BSB as the main way of getting around it seems like speed would be less important but I can't really tell for sure =x

Speed isn't very important for non-warriors. If speed was an issue more people would max Dash.

Yea, just get attack. If the place is mobby enough you should be able to use Corkscrew to maneuver around all the monsters anyway.
