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.

It's generally a good idea to budget at least 300m for 150-175 character for supplies, BMX3, Gwing, insurance, etc etc. 

But here are some of my tips that worked for me.

1) The cheapest route would be to make another VIP account, and level up one of these classes:

Non-tran Stringer, Non-tran Wandy, Sorc.

You use one of these character as a bargaining chip to get a spot in a party, as they are pretty rare find. Then your Gene can just leech your way to 175 without spending a zeny on a single bomb. Tell them you have a shadow chaser alt, so they don't expect you to FCP. 

Stringer and Wandy are extremely cheap to gear to be functional. Sorc yellow gemstone expenses can be expensive.

2) Mats are farmed fresh from bots every day. You can buy them cheap and just brew it yourself and it would cost around 20k per bomb.

3) Sell KP at ridiculous rate right now and just use extra zeny to funds your Gene.

4) Be a Gwinger, you can just recruit one extra Gene, and all you have to do is GWing. You can purchase them from the Cash Shop 500KP each. 
    It takes around 100-200 wings each bio4 run.

5) If you have 2 low level AOE character, you could also farm reset stones and 4-5m per stone should easily fund the materials for bio4 run. You can do hazy forest / OGH run inbetween party wait time for OCA.  Bio4 party takes sometime to recruit, so it's not uncommon to see people run quick instances inbetween.

Will it work if I have an AB instead? I'm leveling both at once but I wasn't sure if any parties would allow me to leech. I can use FCP on parties though, just don't want to spend hundreds of millions just to level.

Bomb costs are not too expensive if you know what to bomb, only Paladin/Chen. Takes around 3-4 since you're not using glorious, that's like 100k ish. 150mobs = 1.5m. Considering that you can afford 7m for a BMX3, what's 1.5m towards helping your party complete it's counts. 

 

Stinge on FCP, only FCP RKs and whoever who asks for it (no one usually asks lol)

 

Alternatively, I used to CC in bio4, it's way better dps compared to bombs for myself being a 120int/dex build and haz glorious and strings and full AB buffs. Only bombs I consume are when there's a mini to kill.

I always made my genetics high level within mvp hunting. Mostly in ET. Or I leech myself.

Scarab hall can take you to 160.

Scarabas isn't as Gene friendly as it is for other classes. You can still level there but it takes more work than is fun to level there as a gene.
