If i were able to get a good sauna would it be good to stick with it forever? Or should i just save the money and use regular clothes for now? Oo

archer training is "mostly" sniping at 80-120 so you'll be fine with a dex/str sauna/robe, but later levels you'll want to invest in a archer overall for a little bit of extra def and the extra stats that you get. makes for easier scrolling and better outcome :]

Depends on the amount of money you have, and how far you think your willing to train yourself to. If you want to be one of those "pro" level 40 bowmen who seem to like those high damaging numbers, go ahead. But its much better to conserve at your level, buy big near your 4th job. Personally, i always look for "equips that are final" meaning, after i get a piece of equipment, thats it. Dont look for whats inbetween.

it will be good on early levels (up until maybe 5x-7x) but once you get to the areas where they will almost 1hko you, a little extra def may be the difference between living and dying. Also if you plan training where you are constantly hit (ex. Typhons) extra def will save you money in the long run. In all, a dex sauna is good, but don't plan on using it forever.

A few extra def won't save much pots. Especially at 2HKO places. You'll have to pot after every hit anyway untill you're VERY high leveled, say skeles: 3.9k magic dmg, mean's you'll be a 2HKO forever except with HB at like lvl190+.

I've never been hit for more than 3.4k there. With HB, I can take 2 hits from Skeles. Without HB, I can take 2 hits from Newties and 1.5 hits from Nest Golems. I'm almost at the point where I can use nothing but Chicken Rice or Ice Pops at Newties and never over pot, aya.

How come you don't get more than 3,4k? High defence? But it won't save much pots yet, because it doesn't reduce your damage THAT much, does it?

Weird o-o. What's your magic defence? Because if its high(er than my Marksman's), then magic def decreases magic dmg more than I thought .
