I really want my final bow to be a neschere and currently my base str is 60 (83 with equips). Now, I'm taking into consideration raising my STR to 69 leaving me with 8 STR left to increase. Do you think it's a good idea? I've been hearing that most low str snipers keep it at 60 though. BTW my equips are: 97 Att nishida 15/15/15/15 zhelm 11 Att wg 10 dex earrings 16dex 3 STR Linnex 2/4 dex FS 4/6 dex PAC 5/5/5/5 Dep Star Which equips should I improve/ change in order to get 8 more STR, or 17 STR if you think raising my STR is bad? BTW my friend told me to get an STR top and a DEX bottom to obtain the needed STR but they cost way too much for me.

Your Str is low, just add some. With all that Dex gear, you can't be Low Str - switch to a Str PAC or raise Base Str.

Kevvl said: "Your Str is low, just add some. With all that Dex gear, you can't be Low Str - switch to a Str PAC or raise Base Str." So your advising me to not to try to switch my dex equips? Just increase base STR?

I am one of those people your friend told you about =]. I use a top/bot combo. Because of that I have a base str of 40. However at this stage I am using lvl 80 xbow as my final weapon. Its possible this may change but not for a while. I have a 20str top and some dex btms to go with it (lvl 40 bowman gear). This top is really helpful and when combined with my 15str helm and 5 str dep star i end up with a nicely rounded total str of 80. There are ONLY TWO downsides IMO of using a top/bot combo. 1) Doesnt look THAT great IMO 2) Weapon defence will become an issue in the future as I begin wanting to boss and train at higher level maps. I think from memory its about 60+ def from the top/bot total. For you, if u want to use a lvl 100 xbow your base too low and you continue wearing a dex overall, therefore raise ur base str. Gl
