Hello once again Basil! With the help of this awesome 25% Exp curve as well as family 2x, I've sped up my leveling and I'm coming up on level 120. So, with this awesome checkpoint coming up, I have a few questions. 1. I currently use a 117/11 DS as my weapon. When should I upgrade? And P/C for it please? 2. I'm looking to buy an 18+ Str Neos, would anyone happen know how much these are worth? 3. Around what level of Brandish will it completely replace PS as my main means of attack? 4. I have high-ish Dex (50) Should I utilize a ST or NRW as my future weapon? Alsoooo. If I'm level 115, and I get a 4 hour Skele leech with 4x throughout 3 hours, and 2x on the last hour, will I be able to hit 120?

Since when has 50 EVER been high dex.

I've been flamed out in the past for having a "bad-build" since my Dex is too high. Meh, I started with 0 Mesos, 0 friends, 0 anything...So I figured 50 would suffice.

50 is a little above average now a days. 40 is considered normal O_O

As to your questions... the DS can last you a long time, you can get a ST if you want to/can afford it and Brandish can replace PS around lv 8-11 (at 11, it hits 2 monsters at once, which is very handy).

Even though I believe 70-80 is reg, with the stuff nowadays being at these prices, its more easier to pull off 45~55 now then it was before. The norm, if not already has, it should be 50.

It all depends on when you started. And to think, when I started, I was mocked for going 1handed, 80 dex (lowdex omg!), no funding for zhelm, and no funding for accuracy. Getting to almost 3 years ago now.

i regret going with 50dex, even though it was hell at the begining with absolutely no funding but, at lvl 127 i find that now i have more than enough funds to go dexless and still have good equips T..T i guess thats the way it is ....

1.) You should always look to upgrade your weapon before any other equip, unless for some reason you don't have enough acc or are wearing something like a dex wg or dex cape when you shouldn't be. A 117 DS is a great weapon. HOWEVER, it is pretty easily beaten (in terms of DPM) by even a mediocre ST (108+ attack). Currently, a crappy 112 st would cost you 25 mil or so, destroy your DS in terms of DPM, while your DS can be sold for at least 100 mil, if not 150-200 (not too sure on ds prices these days). So if you could find someway to gather up 120 dex the ST seems like it would be a great option for you. 2.) A 17 str top = 35 mil. 18 = around 50 mil. 19 str probably closer 75-80. And 20-21 tops go for 100-150 mil. 3.) Brandish won't be used constantly in training until at least lvl 11 when it can hit 2 monsters. 4.) I think you definitely should look into it. As long as you don't sacrifice a lot of str/attack equips for dex/acc, don't go overboard on base dex, and can find yourself a nice 115+ ST you'd definitely benefit from it. You will without a doubt need to raise your base dex if you're looking to go with an ST though.. +70 dex from equips is quite unrealistic. Depending on your equips/funding you'd maybe have to get up to around 70 base dex. If you can find a nice 112-114 NRW you could get away with a lower base dex. Both setups would probably beat out your DS in DPM. Bleh. Leeching. Don't shame us crusaders by allowing someone else to train for you.

Haha, Thanks for everyone who answered, I really appreciate it. And yeah, I feel disgraceful when I leech, but it's so fast o-o. Just wanna hit Hero.
