Hello!

I've got some questions.. I recently hit level 52 and I've been using the Southern Winter set.

I've been looking at future sets and I'm wondering should if upgrade at level 56 to the Temptress Set or if I should just get the Queen's Light Glory Set at level 58. Or would it be fine to just skip the level 56/58 sets and go straight for the level 61 sets? I was looking at those too and I'm currently torn between the Ingkara set and the Vehemence set. I'm leaning more toward the Ingkara set, but what did other Scythie's chose when they reached that level? Or is there a better armor that I'm missing?

Thanks for the help!

skip straight to the lvl 61 sets, Vehemence is somewhat lest costly than Ingkara so if you want start with Vehemence, then slowly work your way towards Ingkara. lvl 56/58 sets just arent worth it since you can get to lvl 61 from there incredibly easy.

Unless you plan to stay in that 50s level zone for a long time
it not worth it
If you plan to burn the way head form 61
Every set past temtpress is an effort in it self to acquire
Temptress requires farming of numerous annoying bosses
Spider queen is no walk in the park
The 61 sets arent a cake walk either

Bump!(mopsaidicouldshsss)

I would like to hear some more opinions on the armor sets. Also if anyone has any other suggestions, I'm open to those too. I'm really just looking for the best set I could get right now. Damage or whatever.

Also, looking at level 61 Scythes, I've chose the Braid Tassel Scythe. Is that generally the best out of all of them or is there something better I should be looking at?

Scythe of Carress is great, really. I think the trade-off for it though is that you'll have a higher damage range and slightly less balance when compared to a scythe like the Braid Tassel.
For the 61 sets, of course you're gonna want the Wonderland since it's the best INT, but it'd be fine to use Ingkara, Vehemence, or the Broken Feather (in ascending of best INT) in place of the Wonderland until you can actually get the whole set (or you can just wait for the ep9 Cloth armor, but that's going to be expensive anyways.)

I'd get the raider's scythe for the matk edge. For armor you could mix and match sets like I did wonderland/broken feather/midnight wedding mix. You get +DEF from the different sets but you do lose out on a little bit of INT. So in the end you'll want to get wonderland.

ohgosh. forgot this existed.
Yeah, go with that one, but keep in mind your current scythe is fine for now if you'd like to hunt for Glas pants at your leisure.

Hmm.. so tassel isn't worth it then? ... I guess I'll just go find a nice Scythe of Caresses while I try and farm for Raider's materials.

I'm using a Rakrak Claw as my scythe right now and I plan to continue using it until something better comes out. You can't beat the fact that it starts with a bonus of 9 to attack speed. Sure it may not be as high in M.Att, but you don't have to enhance the hell out of it to make it usable. If you do get it to +7 and beyond, that's only more M.Att and speed, and at +0 it had more attack power and speed than my +7 Ivory Scythe (which was my previous best).

As far as armor goes, just get the best INT set you can afford. It's not worth spending the money on Wonderland. It'd be better to get yourself a good weapon.

Also, if you can get me the required expertise ingredients for the Temptress, I can make it for you. Soon, I should be able to make all of the Queen's Glory too. For now, I can only make the helmet.

@270 proficiency as of now

Well change of plans.

I had some money left over from my old main, and I managed to craft a full Vehemence set. So for now, I'm fine. I also managed to get a nice +6 Braid Tassel, so I'm also happy with that.

And I also have another question. What kind of accessories should I have? Right now I have 3-star thorn rings, and a really old pair of earrings. By old I mean it's one of the pair you get from a quest in low levels and the Spirit Research Level 3 spell book.

My damage at the moment is hovering around 11.1k but I feel that I'm going to need to improve A LOT before I get to go on Glas runs :x

Also, thanks for the offer whocares x3

Keep one of those Thorn rings and get a Ghostly ring, which is super expensive so idk whether you are willing to spend 6 or 7 mil for one.
Get the Ghost Witch spell book and emblem. Not too expensive or hard to farm. That leaves..the belt? Thor belt is the best, also not a ***** to make like the ring ;-; Temptation earrings that are 3 star are the best, 2 star is a cheap alternative.

This is for the future but eventually you'll want to replace your 3* thorn ring with a 4* or 5* (5* preferred). For ghostly ring...yeah it's annoying to get but it's pretty good. If you SOMEHOW get a 5* ghostly ring, then I'd keep that over having two 4* or 5* thorn rings. Try to get a 5* thor belt but 2* is also very good. As for earrings, I agree with grandpajelly. Get the 3* Earrings of Temptation though you'll want to eventually replace them with a 4* or 5*. If you're going to stick to the 2* Earrings of Temptation, you my as well just get the broken feather earrings since those are better than the 2* Earrings of Temptation. I think this has already been answered but after getting my raider's scythe, I'm liking it a lot more than braid tassel (14.5k m.att ftw). At the same time though, you'll need to consider whether it's worth getting the glas pants that you need to make the raider's scythe. In all honesty, I'd also say go with the wonderland set. Generally what I'm saying here is basically all top end gear that you'd want to aim for should you intend to play for a REALLY long time. Rakrak Claw is a better scythe for soloing raid bosses though because of the +9 atk speed it gives though keep in mind you'll have to be really pro and it will take FOREVER to solo a high level raid boss. Go with the ghost witch emblem and spellbook. Ghost witch emblem is the only emblem in the game at the moment for Evie's so try to get a 3* or higher version of it. Same goes for ghost witch spellbook: at the moment it's the best spellbook but I don't think there are any higher quality versions of it other than 2* (please correct me if I'm wrong). Anyway thanks for reading my block of text.

i'd say min/max when it's legit endgame. are the 3star lvl56 armors better than most of the 61's per piece or are there just some anomalies?

I'm not exactly sure since I'm not using the vindictusdb as a reference atm but I believe that a 3* temptress set does give more int than ingkara although ingkara does give a good bit more def than temptress. a 3* temptress set will NOT beat a wonderland set (pretty far from it actually). As for broken feather and whatever other lv 61 armor that Evies can use, I can't say anything about them since I've never used them before.
