  Here's the kicker though: This costume can only be worn from Age 13 to Age 16. Since it looks best at Age 15, that means I'd only have 2 weeks at best to wear this (unless there's a way to remove the age specific limit on that body piece). The outfit I first posted doesn't require that.

  
  
  Well, as long as you dont unequip it when you get age 17+, you can still wear it, even if it breaks (0 dura). So, just never leave that suit excepts for rbs. Thank God for no laundry in Mabi.

  Unless of course...you forgot to bless it and it gets flown off by death.

  You can always seal it with a seal scroll though, so even if it's unblessed+broken whatever, it can't drop off you.

  This is as close to Corei's true intended effect that I'll get - in this photo, he's wielding Viseo Mirror Blades (smithable at r1 I believe).

  These almost feel like chakrams the way they're wielded.

  Unfortunately in Ruairi, mirror blades are like 15 mil+ or so I've heard. :<
  
  Why is most of the cool stuff expensive? QQ

  Who the heck says you need to BUY them? Unless the manual is no longer available, forge em yourself. It's the sole reason my Elf alt is going to become an Artisan (he'll be making the gear that my Human will use - other than the outfit, of course). My Giant's going to be more of a treasurer; guarding the grand wealth that my Human shall acquire.

  From what I've seen, people hoard the manuals too X_X
  
  If you got two during the Iria event though, that's flipping awesome :O
  
  (Didn't get to play during Iria event... :fail:

  But if you think about it, statistically, if human is your main, then do Blacksmithing and the puny tedious~grindish life skills on that. The more dexterity, the nicer the success rates for everything are to you. You'd need a decent amount of dexterity to get maximum success rates, and Blacksmithing is a lot of money to sink into as well, if you're buying much materials.
  
  May as well do that on your main. Saves the work of an extra elf, imo.

  The thing about my main being combat oriented is that he's already pumping DEX through Refining and Weaving. I don't want to spend the first 4 months of my gametime just being a lifeskiller; that's outright boring, not to mention nobody buys BS'd or Tailored goods anymore. If they want something stylish, they Gacha for it or run SMs.
  
  I have yet to meet a player who'll pay for a smithed or tailored item. Not to mention, when I'm actually DONE ranking life skills, I'll be well into Advanced Difficulty, which means G9~14 will be harder for me because of it.
  
  Hence why I dedicate an Elf to the task - not only does he have the extra natural DEX that makes getting Refine and Weaving out of the way easier, but it also helps with Blacksmithing and Tailoring rates - since the more DEX you have, the better chances you have of getting to 99.9% (the mini games determine finished quality).
  
  
  EDIT - Should probably mention I'd be gathering my own mats, not buying. Therefore making my Elf a crafter main is more probable, since Ranged adds DEX, and he'll be using it to clear Barri's first and (maybe second) floors.
