For the bullets, just use the normal lv 10 bullets till lv 70. Mabye if you got the money, you can buy a couple (3-4) lv 50 bullets, but don't waste to much money on those. Your good with your 8 atk wg. Your str cap depends on your funding. If you can get a Zhelm and other Str equips, you can cap it lower, but it doesn't really matter. If you got high Str, you buy Dex equips, if you got low Str you buy Str equips. Also, read the stickies for more information about Gunslinger/Outlaw/Corsairs. You can always PM me, if you have more questions.

If your decently funded, cap your base Str at 70 or so. If your well funded maybe lower. Do not buy split bullets. If you want to save mesos. Do not buy any of the defense equips. Its not like you need them.

Level 50 bullets are worth more than level 70 from my knowledge since they can be found at harps. But if you lack the funding, just keep the level 10 bullets for awhile. Also be prepared to be weak at first job...No one even lilkes to CPQ with gunslingers because they pale in comparison to sins.

With recoil and invis shot a slinger can't get mobbed in the rooms and stuck swinging their guns. I did just fine in CPQ, my record is 169 wins, 22 losses. No trade wins or free wins

well then should i just stick with lvl10 bullets till 70?

From level 10-50 it will be VERY boring ( well for me anyways), but afterlvl 50 it starts getting fun. For the bullets i think you should stick with lvl 10 bullets and train out lvl 50 bullets from mutaes. I got 13 sets of mighty bullets in 5 lvls there. Also buy the lvl 70 bullets because they're very cheap.

Quests everywhere apart from orbis and victoria give great exp, particularly the boss quests. I recommend ariant and magatia particularly, because the quests from there are mostly either 'talk to this guy' or 'kill x monsters' which give good exp from 10-80 anyway.

First off, its a good choice to make a slinger, they are an amazing class. Bullets: I personally had good funding so i upgraded my bullets whenever available. My recommendations are as follows Highly funded: Splurge and get every bullet, I personally keep 17 sets of bullets on my slinger but i am crazy, i recommend at least 10 though (buying slots helps keep your inventory accessible) Moderate funding: Keep 8-12 sets of level 10 bullets till 50, at 50 search the fm and if you see any reasonably priced mighty bullets, get them, every set you buy will replace your level 10 ones, increasing dmg and training time. At level 70 upgrade to vitals and stick with those till you are highly funded from your own training Low funding: Stick with level 10's till 70 then get 10 sets of vitals (about 2-10m depending on server and inflation) Upgrade order varies, my recommendations are pretty simple though You can never go wrong buying items that will last you for the majority of your maple career (Zhelm, Wg, dex shoes, dex earrings, etc) Although you will get less out of it in the short term, I recommend buying items such as a zhelm before a scrolled gun (until level 80+) because although a scrolled gun will boost your damage significantly, it will not matter in 10 levels when you move on to a gun that has 6 more base attack anyway, however that zhelm is everlasting :-). but ya, gl bro don't give up, level 70 changes EVERYTHING
