Hello. With the current 2x exp even going on I want to try and level up my Gene to 175 before the event ends. Currently, I am at level 139 doing High TI runs and using BMX3 and resets to level up quickly. I was told to go to Bio Labs when I reach 141 but the problem is, I don't have the funds available to make myself useful in a Bio party. Going by Rewenal server prices, 1 cast of Acid Bomb costs roughly 30k zeny whereas Glistening Coats are bit cheaper and can last a while.
Unfortunately, I have spent the majority of my zeny on gearing up my Gene and buying BMX3 and Magical Stones and going from 141 to 175 in Bio may cost up to a billion zeny according to my calculations from some information from my guild mates.
My gear are not too shabby but they aren't exactly top-notch either. I feel my Cart Cannon damage is a bit weak but I'm not sure how I can improve its damage. Right now I am using +9 Triple Kingbird RTE. My stats are currently: 92 STR, 90 INT, 40 VIT and 120 DEX. I am also using a +9 EA10 FAW of Shooter which allows me to boost my ranged damage with the high DEX investment as well as +7 EA4 Hawkeye Temp. Dex Boots.
