Also should I play on vip or valk server. I notice on valk server even as a vip we still lose 25% zeny value on dropped loot. Kinda silly imo vip's should get full value XD. Anyway.
Aco->monk->Sura, what stats and skills should I aim for? like what should I have when my aco hits job lv 50 stat and skill wise?
Merchant->Alch->Genetist, what stats and skills?
Got a thief I am lving too but they are pretty easy to plan out.
Kinda picky about server since you need to pay to get into the vip server, won't be many real lowlevels in it for me to hang with, thats why I started on valk instead.

Simply put, the 3% isn't really that noticeable, you'd be better off spending that money on some other items or that VIP subcription.
Cast time for most skills (with a few exceptions) consists of 80% Variable and 20% Fixed cast time.
Variable cast time can be reduced with DEX and INT (where INT reduces half that of DEX) and certain skills/equipment. With enough stats/gears it can be reduced to nothing.
Fixed cast time is only reducable by certain skills or gears (most notable being Arch Bishop's Sacramenti; reducing 50% of fixed cast time). Fixed cast reductions do not stack, only the highest reduction applies.
I'm not entirely sure about monk builds, but as an Acolyte you need to get level 10 Divine Protection and Demon Bane in order to get any skills as a Monk.
The Alchemist class is generally pretty expensive, it isn't really easy for a beginning player..

ASPD isn't that simple, though: http://irowiki.org/wiki/ASPD

Yeah just did the math or rather used the calculator and at my level that Flapping angel headband only adds 1 attack speed. totally not worth 10 bucks IMO. I'll keep my wig simply for the increased movement speed for now.

In measurements of actual attack speed, you can figure 50/(200-ASPD) attacks per second-- at 190 ASPD, that's 5 hits per second, and at max ASPD for a third class, it's a touch over 7 hits per second.
You're right in saying that the percentage reduction yields less drastic changes as ASPD increases-- however, consider also the exponential growth as ASPD approaches 200. The difference between 161 and 162 ASPD is a difference of 50/38 - 50/39 difference, or roughly one thirtieth of an attack per second difference. Now consider the effect of the wings at 180 ASPD.
200-180 = 20 * 97% = 19.4, your new reduction in delay between attacks.
50/20 = 2.5, 50/19.4 = 2.57, or .07 attacks per second difference (one fourteenth)
At 190 ASPD (assuming 190 is not the cap), your reduction goes from 10 to 9.7 with the wings. The former is obviously 5 attacks per second, the latter is 5.155 attacks per second, or two thirteenths of an attack per second difference.
It does benefit moreso at higher ASPDs, and I would argue that around 185+ is the only time anyone would feasible bother to use them..
