So, just a quick background. I haven't played RO for years, came back lured by the classic server and double rates which makes the grind somewhat more tolerable. When I found out how easy it is to create slaves my first thought was to get an endow slave to make fighting with other classes I enjoy more enjoyable.

However, leveling my mage made me realize I really like the class, and looking ahead to some of the scholar skills made me realize how awesome it would be to have an endow AND mana slave as well as a self sufficient bolter.

So, having no zeny & no guild I've put together this skill/gear/stat build for a bolter farmer / endow slave / mana slave hybrid and would like some feedback.

(My current level is 65/50 - in the middle of the sage job change quest)

Skills

Stats & Gear
- 112 int
- 113 dex
- 44 vit
- rest is 1

Any feedback would be appreciated. Like I said in the intro I haven't played RO seriously in years, so my ideas of what items I should be aiming for are very dated. I would especially appreciate feedback in that department (keeping in mind I have very little zeny and must farm all the items myself).

Also, putting 10 points in improved SP recovery is probably a mistake... but I felt like it fit in nicely with my "mana manipulating character" theme... are there convincing reasons those points should go elsewhere? I was thinking thunderstorm could be good but I just don't know what scenarios I would realistically be participating in where I would want to be casting it... note that 8 of the points I put into increased SP recovery are mage points, only 2 of them are scholar points.

Final reminder: I'm on the classic server. Thanks in advance for any help / advice!

What is your end game goal? Is it to just level and give sp to parties then quit? If that's the case it's pretty straightforward. Get loads of dex and int, all your bolts, and max indulge. Though the idea of 99ing a sage and then a scholar to then quit is very unappealing to most. You may find yourself asking why do you even bother at some point.

If you want end game content (after 99trans) you'll at the very least need mist,, safety wall, and dispel. Or you could get mindbreak 5 so you have a mind break slave on hand. Duno though, I really suggest you rethink your goal because it would be a shame to put so many hours of work into something with no end game value.
