I'm really asking this It looks like a straight-forward answer, but steelies have 200 more stars than ilbis so does the -2 attack really just balance out and people that buy ilbis are just wasting money on the +2 attack when for like 7 mil less you can get a star just as good that damage equals out to be just the same?

steelys are better, they look cooler and u dont waste as much money cause u can get 2 steelys for as much as 1 ibli. and with that extra money u can get equips that'll be way more than +2 attack.

If it was 2 steelies against 2 ilbis, ilbis would win in the damage factor. However, steelies cost half as much, and have a signifigantly lower tax. So, it depends.

Only rich people should buy Ilbi's. What an average mapler (or below avg) would want are Steelys.

But if you have enough money you can get steelys and the equips causing you to do even better damage. =D Every WA counts.

I don't know....I have the about same amount of ilbis as steelys. Whenever I run out of ilbis and go down to steelys, I feel like my training is waaaay slower which makes it kinda depressing. >.< I guess it depends on how much you are willing to spend. I'm going to upgrade slowly to all ilbis. (btw, 2 atk is a lot >.<)

I got 7 steelies for 25m. This is compared to 2 ilbis for 30m. Steelies also look cooler.

2 Attack is alot for some of us, unfortunately I still use Vital Bullets over Shiny Bullets because I don't want to unfund my NL =[

Crystal Ilbis.

In the higher levels, where it takes more luk to gain 1 weapon atk the 2 weapon atk would be a considerable margin. By that level however, most people would have enough money to go for ilbis or higher. At your level, steelies would be better.

If you are going to put it that way.....Balanced Furies.

Illbis have higher attack, however if you have max claw mastery, its as good as steelies.

I would just stay with steelies. Especially if you have a good work glove where the -2 attack wont play that big of a factor, they are cheaper and i like them compared to ilbi, they look way cooler.
