Need help with enchants for equipment....

• Yogurticecream wrote on 2010-04-29 21:52
  I'm tired of people comparing equip and stating that I should use a better set. I've disabled equipment view, and I want to prepare a better set, regardless of criticisms. Just that I have hardly any idea on what enchants I should pick, since there are so many of them.
  
  Need tips on equipment change for max damage with my current skill sets, or options on what I can put if I rank ____ skill.
  
  I want to keep spending as low as possible for this, while boosting my damage rate. (It will be great if there is more critical as well.) I'm not a fan of potion poisoning. I'm not asking for the best equipment around, just something better because I feel I am outgrowing my current set.
  
  I'm mainly melee, only switching to range/magic/alchemy when the need arises. Smash R1 is my new ally. My current set is Look_expensive/Pirate grace armor, Stiff/Thief tail cap, G3's Aohan's ring (I'll either keep using it or replace it according to situation) and Fox/Giant tooth-ankle boots. I have no problems with my various weapons, just only need to do something about light armor, boots, hat and gloves. I use "The One Who Connected Rano and Connous" as my title.
  
  For armor, Light armor only please, since the indestructable ring is back :T_T:
  
  I understand that ancient/darkness is one of the best damage armor, however I do not intend to rank rest early if I can avoid it. I find it a hassle to specially look for ancient enchant scroll at this point of time and buying ancient/darkness armor is out of the question (15-20 million on this server). There are plenty of other skills that I need to rank, with priority to Thunder (R6), Counter 1, AR 1 and FH 1. I've already decided on Thunder, because it's essential for exploration. Although I do fine with R9, I feel that I'm struggling very much to get stars with such high MP costs if I do not do rafting solo.
  
  Just throw all equipment set suggestions at me and I'll work out the budget on my own @_@ Thanks!

  Hat = You hat is fine. I see no reason to change it.
  
  Boot = Should have Raven suffix on it. Free enchant for prefix is ideal, but Diamond, Corundum, etc. works as well.
  Do your server have bots that goes to Solea often? In our server, non-perfect Raven boots are cheap due to such bots.
  
  Glove = Maltreat/Giant (or Thief) is good enough until you get Wooden Needle.
  
  As for Light Armor, if you aren't willing to do Principle (or Ancient/Victorious) Darkness, you current armor will suit you just fine.
  
  Of the 3 or 4 enchants I mentioned for Light Armor, putting Darkness is the most important part.

  Solea I think yes, however the boots are 500k-1 million depending on stats, based on last time that I've checked.
  
  I have plenty of maltreat/thief burns.
  
  If there isn't much option available for light armor, I'll go look for ancient anyway.

  Hat: You can either stick with your Stiff Thief as Endless said (I personally use Stiff Thief for crit), but if you want another option for damage, you could switch that to a Wolf Hunter's Wild Boat (get a +6 max one from Rundal Normal HM and then shoot for a +3 max on the Wild Boar)
  
  Boots: I really can only recommend [Raven] Long Greave Boots as Endless suggested, but I don't think those are very common over there right? I use [Diamond | Raven] Long Greave Boots personally, but if the Raven enchanted boots are impossibly hard to get for your server, you could try to go for [Diamond | Wild Boar (+3)]. The reason I suggest Diamond is because it's much, much easier to enchant than Free (both are +6 Max) onto Raven Boots, but if you don't have access to those by all means go for Free and then slap on the Wild Boar once you get a set of boots that didn't lose dura in the enchanting process.
  
  Glove: Since you did say you wanted to go for damage, I say go get a [Victorious] Bracelet from Fiodh Int/2 and slap Wild Boar on there (going for +3 again). You could alternatively slap Thief onto there for Luck / Crit.
  
  Light Armor: The biggy. If you can't afford any combination of [Principles / Ancient | Darkness] armor, then I say go with Victorious for your prefix and then something like Wild Boar or Pirate for your suffix. Actually, if you can manage to get one, Pine Tree is an excellent choice for a suffix as well, Rank 9 so it's not too hard to enchant and +5 Max, +5 Min, and +3 Def to boot.

  I have a set of raven now, unfortunately I could only get a 4 min/6 max set.
  I enchanted RA calla prefix on it, and I get extra 3 min and 3 max.
  Together with gloves (I chose maltreat/thief) it's a total of 4 min and 8 max to damage.
  Wild boar is plentiful, so I'll probably make another set of maltreat/wild boar.
  
  (There's a reason why I picked calla, I'm waiting for the day I can use R9 prefix fleet. +5 max dmg to charge above rank B, +1-4 max dmg for charge above rank 8 and +2 crit to charge above rank 6)
  
  I'll have to look into wooden needle and possibly also calla/burgundy bear for step enchanting.

  isn't fleet only for heavy boot?
  
  for body i'll either suggest victorious darkness, or, i think it's out for you, wild horse (r7 suffix for cloth, +5-7 max if r9 taming) with victorious as prefix (or habit if you dare)
  
  for glove, maltreat is fine until you get wooden needle or steel needle if g12 is out for you.

  Fleet I heard is for metal boots. I have seen Fleet/Raven greaves, one of my friends have it.
  
  And wow, G12 Steel Needle is crazy, I've checked on it. I wonder who drops it, I'll want to switch to this. Rank 8 prefix? Non-wooden gloves? After enchant, item is exclusive to person who uses it and x2 repair fees. +5 critical, 1-4 critical if Critical Hit Rank 9 and above, 5 max damage if CM 7 and above, 7-11 max damage if CM Rank 4 and above.

  For boots, How often do you see Hard Peaca ES for sale? Is it as pricey as Ancient?
  Because if you find some wave patterned boots already enchanted with 'the dawn' it would be a nice alternative to Raven Boots, the boots would actually adds defense, instead of subtracting it, which might be helpful since the light armor set up is lacking in def.
  It would also be good for your rafting expeditions, as it adds 15 MP. You can also Corundum them, so it'd be +12 max damage.
  
  Aside from the Darkness armor, and wooden needle gloves, theres nothing else really to add.

  It is a confirmed drop from peaca...I want to say middle, but I'm not sure on the text.

  (I'm Korean, so I can translate for ya =P
  Enchantable on Non-wooden gauntlets (so it's gotta be metallic)
  and the stats said by Yogurt is correct
  One noticeable thing is that it's UNTRADABLE
  It will also PERSONALIZE that item.
  
  that's pretty hardcore stuff o.o)
• Yogurticecream wrote on 2010-05-02 04:28
  There's going to be a huge market for this, burgundy bear (I wonder if I will get another) and the rank A prefix enchants.
  I really want to get a chance at this enchant scroll. Does it always drop from Peaca Middle?
  Otherwise I'll be happy with the wooden needle that I have.
  
  I might prepare a China Dragon Glove for this though.

  I've seen parties of high leveled players, being crushed by master lich.
  It's very difficult, people dying from outside of the boss room.
  Lich's spells have that far of a reach, and he aggros in an instant.

  That is one way people keep him distracted, while they kill off those ghost king things.
