Need help once again

• spirit2roam wrote on 2013-12-01 22:56
  So....I've decided to start working towards an end game Gamyu armor since I'm going to be a hybrid Archer / Warrior. I wish to get Encore Champion on it meaning I would need to spend some nx getting some enchant protection pots. I'm going to get some money from my friend for training his characters in MapleStory for him so I figured why not use it on nx. The only thing is, originally I planned to use that money to buy rebirth cards. Now, I'm not sure what I would want Master Warrior and R1 of some other skills or an Encore Champion Gamyu. Which would be better to achieve first? Thanks.
  
  Also, I'm about a TTL of 16xx with 373 base str at lv 88 using the close combat active talent. I will have about 3-4m to spend on the Gamyu (maybe an extra 4-6m next week if I don't get Royal Knight Gloves using seals).

  I'd say encore champion gamyu is not worth it at this point in the game.
  try to go for encore on a clothing and keep burning and rerolling for 15max.
  then put camo
  If you don't like the roll, burn and repeat.
  
  This is a lot more reasonable since
  1. you can buy any clothing from npc for around 1k gold.
  2. no need for es prot potion
  3. encore is around 200-300k and doesn't require trade unlock potion.
  4. max roll camo is 9max. and only requires dual gun mastery r1.
  dual gun mastery is a lot more useful than r1 counterattack(which is a requirement for champion).
  
  Later on you can go for ambush enchant instead of camo, but this is pretty good for now.
  
  encore champion should really be for pure warriors.
  
  hybrid archer/warrior can benefit a lot more by getting bohemian for the mag/support shot enhancement.
  your support shot+smash/lance charge combo will be godly if you go bohemian.

  Hmm, true that clothing is cheaper to enchant. It is something I could do since I sort of planned to get an Encore Ambush on this one piece of clothing. I prepared a bridge for Ambush so it's ready to go once I get it. However, the only thing I would be missing out is the defense of Light Armor Mastery if I did clothing.
  
  I wanted an encore champion set since it sounded really good considering I use lance more than archery when it came to hard missions. If I do reach near end game though, shouldn't I prepare one to opt out the encore ambush clothing?
  
  Also, most likely will not use a bohemian set only because my helmet has Vine Dexterity and is r1, unless I can find a bohemian hat of the same enchants and rank for cheap.

  Camo is actually rank 3 dual gun mastery, btw.

  At this point, you should be looking at rebirth. You clearly don't have the skills to have the enchants activated even if you make the gamyu armor.
  Yes, at the end game, encore champion gamyu is what you should be going for, but you're still in the early game stage.
  
  I'd be more concerned about gettting GM warrior and range skills as well as other life skills at this point. You can just get special (or ancient) ambush clothing for now which is a decent alternate.

  While Special Ambush is a decent alternate, is there any alternate prefix that could be easier to obtain? I never find that many Ancient monsters and when I do, they never drop an enchant scroll. Ancient would be a good prefix, but my rest is only rF.

  You can also get special from other people, special's a cheap enchant.
  If there's any other plausible prefix other than special, there's restored (which is harder to put on) and oblivion (arguably more expensive).
  You could get victorious, but I really would say just go get special.

  Why not encore?
  Only goes for around 200-300k per burn.
  Enduring melody is just 154ap :I

  I'd think that he has more important things to rank (not saying enduring melody isn't important) at this moment.
  He could use the same amount of AP to get rank 1 carpentry.
  
  But yeah, when you do have enough skills ranked (which isn't the case right now in my opinion), invest some AP in enduring melody for encore. It's like how I have rank 6 wind blast just for crocodile.

  I guess that is true.
  Even I don't have the requirements for encore and I'm recommending it xP

  Eh, guess I have to be a bit patient with the Special burn. I saw one item on the housing with it, but it was 1-2m (which is ridiculous for an enchant like that). If I have time, maybe I'll try hunting for it.
  
  Other than that, you guys helped answer my question. Thanks.
