Disclaimer. Please read this first, thanks!
- I just picked up the game (again) and played from scratch around last week of november 2013. I didn't even know there are Eden quests for me to get decent gears until I was level 60.
- I never looked at any updated guides or any updated items before I started playing. This is my my fault and that is why I'm asking here for suggestions.
- I also don't plan to spend any $$$ since I only play for about 1-2 hours a day, maybe except weekends.
- I play from overseas. My latency in this server (Renewal Chaos) is not that good. I get like ~.5 to 1 second delay so I can't really spam potions, or I need to get alot of hits by any chance I need to flywing/backslide when something goes wrong when mobbing.
- Lowerping/WTFast/Leatrix doesn't really work on me. Only best thing that I can improve my latency is to get a specific IP address by refreshing my internet connection to get that IP address in order to play decently. I also have a paid VPN but it doesn't really help as well.
- Because of my latency issues, I usually play alone.
- The last time I played this is around 10 years ago, where Trans class were introduced, and I have a pvp-ish type SD SinX during that time.
I'll ask the question here, I was thinking of asking it at the bottom but I realized that I already typed random babbling for too long xD
Should I remake another GX, or just continue to train my current one? After doing alot of reading regarding GX, I think that my build is going the wrong way due to the mobs becoming alot stronger. Although I really don't mind training my GX using my usual routine, but I think the monsters are hitting alot harder once I reach 110+. I think they stun alot more as well?
If I choose to continue, can anyone give me suggestions? Although I already have provided some ideas at the bottom of my post. I just need more opinions maybe?
Also, please don't suggest any crazy gears like +9 HBP, or +9 RWH, or even the ever-famous +9 KVM Katar. I will probably get there at some point, but it is definitely not possible as of now unless some gazillionaire dropped some boss cards infront of me to loot
I just want to train more efficiently than what I usually do, make my level higher and at the same time improving my gears one by one, and start farming for better gears.
I may do an MVP Crit/ASPD Build for end game, since it is probably more feasible to MVP than PVP/WOE with my slight latency issues because I am probably already dead before even I react to switch weapon/armor which is the most common thing to do when it comes to PVP/WOEing.
Moving forward, here is my current build with my level 107 GX. If you read my disclaimer above, you prolly know why my build is like this
Base Stats
- STR: 60
- AGI: 107
- VIT: 14
- INT: 1
- DEX: 50
- LUK: 60
GX Skills from someone that doesn't look at guides:
- 5 Rolling Cutter - I thought this skill sucked and Grimtooth is alot better, until I maxed it. Still depends on the situation though, I wouldnt dare to RC 20 Desert Wolfs or more than 10 Anolians even if I have 700 flee haha
- 5 Cloaking Exceed - I also thought this skill was awesome so I maxed it as soon as possible, and I realized that I barely am using it.
- 1 Cross Ripper Slasher
- 5 Cross Impact
- Currently Pumping Poison Research for the EDP duration to save bottles in the long run maybe? I only have one point on it as of now.
- May also get the following in the future: Hallucination Walk and its prereqss, Venom Impress, Antidote, not sure what else. Not prolly getting Weapon Block related skills since I already have Rolling Cutter which is I prefer.
What I currently have:
1. Thief Set - many years ago, I always thought the set was the best thing ever for an Assassin class to use, so I bought the cards from the set after making money from Cat Santa Hats and randomly picking up sellable gears. I included a head and body for my Thief "Set". My Thief "set "consists of the following:
Evil Snake Lord Hat with Incubus
Dragon Vest with Succubus
+8 Double Critical Slicing Jur
Dragon Mant with Wanderer
Valkyrian Shoes with Wild Rose
Bison Horn with Shinobi and Zhu Lo Pong
2. Falcon Muff + Odin Blessing + Fricco's Shoes and Pantie + Undershirt combo - both used during early thief/assassin days.
3. Morrigane set and Fortune Swords - I just want to try having high pDodge but it is not my thing, so my Alchemist/Blacksmith is using the set whenever I train either of them.
4. Sapha Set but I sold it because personally I find the Thief Set is tons better vs stock unenchanted Sapha Set even with all of its bonuses. Could be because of my stat build.
5. I also have Three Hunter Fly Cards and about 50million Zenny.
6. Random items like Ghost Bandana, Inverse Scale, Glittering Jacket with Earth Deleter, etc... I find the Earth Deleter card awesome when RCing (Earth Petite in Reno quest).
All of the armors you see above are only upgraded to +4
What have I done so far to make monnies:
- Looting whatever loot I see on the ground. YEAH!
- Elunium Farming on Stalactic Golems - I stopped this since I noticed that the drop is back to normal--- it barely drops it anymore. I still go there though whenever I need to +4 a piece of armor rather than buying a few on Prontera.
- Greed in Orc Dngeon 2 - this is the reason why I made an Alchemist just for curiosity of having a Homunculus train her. Got an Orc Archer bow here though!
- Greed in low TI - this is bad so i stopped it, i got two Durgas during Desert Wolf TI about a month ago, I sold it for cheap to get monnies.
- All of my level 60+ Characters went through most (if not, all) of the Malangdo quests, got me about 80 Cat Hand Gloves which most of them are already sold out.
- Doing Reno Quests, making Improved Opera Mask / Advanced Safety Ring / Advanced Assassin Mask, and selling it. I'm nowhere close to 300 Pure Energy Crystals though for making an Improved Variant shoes (and selling it) though.
I also have 4 accounts that consists of the following:
- My main account that has a priest for warping other accounts, a merchant for OC/DC/Vend, and my GX.
- A shared account from a friend (that doesnt play anymore) that has a level 55 Endow slave, and a battle acolyte for warping other accounts as well
- An alt account where I made a level 80 ninja for fun but it deals crap damage so I stopped, and a level 80 AFKhemist for OC/DC/Vend.
- Another alt account where I am somewhat training another thief (only level 30 at the moment) in case I need to remake another GX. I might also be making this a sinX though, which will take time since I don't really play it until recently, so that I can do another batch of Malangdo/Kiel quests for the monnies, which I find both quests really easy to do.
Lastly, What I plan to do with what I currently have. Feel free to suggest if there are better! Buying Kafra Points and selling Cash Shop items is out though
In no particular order:
1. Buy another Hunter Fly and a Specialty jur to complete the weapon. Also buy a Harpy-carded Garment since it is not possible to buy a Raydric Card as of now.
Problem with this though is that Specialty Jurs are currently being overpriced by vendors. Also, not sure if a 10-11khp character can efficiently mob in Nogg Road 2 even with an Endow Slave/EDP on.
2. Buy a Jur and a Variant shoes to increase my hp for maybe 2k, Also buy a Harpy-carded Garment as well. Everything is the same as above.
3. With the 50mil on hand, buy a Jur and put the three Hunter Fly Cards on it, and then buy 5 reset stones and go for a stat reset.
After that, I can remove luck, tone down agi to 80-90 maybe, then increase vit to 70-80 and maybe increase DEX to 60-70.
I can go with STR instead of DEX but I have an Endow Slave or I can just use EDP since I will still probably have few million Zenny after I buy all of these. I'm not really sure how Stat Reset works but I read I just need to have 7 reset stones?
4. Lastly, try selling my Jur, add it with the 50mil that I currently have, and buy what I need. Not sure what to buy with it though.
I really don't want to sell my Jur though because I love the thief set, and Paper Cards are too darn expensive now. My sinX can also use the set by the time she reaches 90. Although I can probably buy a similar weapon if everything goes well.
Also, I'm not sure whether the difference in proccing between 3 and 4 Hunter Fly Cards is huge or not.
Sorry for the looong post, and thanks for reading! I appreciate any suggestions as well!
P.S. Sorry for my English as it is neither my primary nor secondary Language.
