I'm getting ready to make to use the maker skill to make either level 100/110 (depending on if I can find scale & spirit for 110 gear or settle for the easier 100 gear) gun, shoes & overall for my Outlaw. This will most likely be end-game items for me (I'd like to stick with trade-able/movablee- items rather than make Reverse items). For the gun I'm planning to use an Adv Diamond (for atk) and an Adv Dex crystals (for Dex). For the overall & shoes I'm planning on using Adv Dex, but I'm not sure what the 2nd Jewel/Crystal should be... Would it be more useful to use Adv. Power Crystals for additional Str (note: I'd already have the Str I need to wear everything) or to use Adv. Topaz for added HP? Or is there anything else you're recommend for the second spot? (speed/jump, or take a gamble and use a dark/black crystal? etc) Any input from the more experienced Corsairs out there would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The most useful thing damage-wise would be to add STR and then AP reset. However, if this is not an option for you, I would recommend HP or Jump. I know I'm being vague =p. All I know is I used Dex and Str when making my shoes.

In order to equip the level 100 shoes/overall/gun I have to have 100 str (base+ other equips). I'm going to get additional Str from the shoes/overall even if I'm not using the Power Crystals but I don't think that will allow me to reset any Str (Since the moment I drop below 100str without that item I'm no longer actually wearing the item, even though I had 105+ str with the item on, right? ) But thanks for the input. I guess I'll probaly go ahead and use STR like you did...it won't hurt and I'll always be able to share the equips if I should make a Buc/TB.

I personally dont find the need for 100 overall, and shoes, you could easily maker a 80/90 overall and the 90 shoes are nice for STR, if you use advanced that'd be 10 STR clean right there.

For guns it would be chaos crystal, something dirt cheap like HP or nothing. Forging a dragonfire is a huge waste of time since it's harder that forging a reverse and you pretty much have to drop 30% scrolls on it for it to be even half decent. Concertos are easy to forge, but again, you need to 30% them. And blowing up dex or STR crystals every time you try to scroll a gun is not really a good idea. Just forge concertos with an advanced diamond and focus on getting the highest attack from there, the extra dex or STR really isn't worth it. IMO, neither is any speed or HP boost you put on there, though I guess those would be affordable.
