Hi ppl, coming again with my xbowman. So now he is lvl 59 and consequently, he has 59str base. I was wondering when i should stop adding str, because im afraid if i stop too soon to add AP to HP, ill get short of it for higher lvl xbows. Im not really funded, so im not sure when will i get a zhelm nor if ill get good str overalls. Thanks in advance

Add one more to get a clean 60, then go from there. If need be, use equipment that gives str, like an orange tai, or a red maro. Im 72, and wont need another str untill lv 80 (i have 41 base, and need 5 more than you anyway)

You cap it whenever you have enough strength with equips to use your final weapon of choice. That said, anywhere less than 85 is fine.

i got an orange tai 6str 1dex clean, but i dont know what to do with it. i have a blue lined kismet with 14dex, and equiping the tai would suppose a huge decrease in my attack. i was thinking of 100%ing it for dex to get 6str 11dex so I would get str and a bit less of dex (i dont like scrolling items with less% scrolls). I think ill get a clean overall for the following stages and scroll them for str. Last question: at what lvl should i start adding HP? ive got 17xx

You should wait until level 100 for the minimum.

you can get things like: zhelm +15 str MoN + 5 str cape + 10 str overall + 10 str and BAM you got 100 str for a necshere

That is, Zhelm (15 str), MoN (5 str), Level 100 overall (4 str), and level 100 shoes (1 str)

You can get a untradeable +5 str goblin cape from the KFT quest (please check lvl requirement) so you can take that into account when calculating what your base str should be. Once you get that cape you can always buy cape str scrolls to increase the str if you want. But it's free 5 STR That's what I'm using on my ranger for now.

I'm capping my STR at 50. The only 2 equips I need are already obtained or within the upcoming future; ZHelm (15 str, and MoN). My end-game bow will be a Night Raven's Eye with at the minimum 110, though I'm aiming for 115+. Why this? Simply because it is a Lv. 90 crossbow with a 70 strength requirement, 90 attack base with fast speed. Pretty epic and not hard to make a 115+ anyway. ^_^
