So i'm a 126 DrK thinking about getting all of my end game stuff and i already have my 130/10/4dex u/h reverse alchupiz and my 11str/5dex clean reverse shoe. But for my armor, its gonna cost 100m+ to make to have 12str (after the adv power crystal) and 10 slots with 3 lvls worth of stats. The other option i'm considering is the black neos set which would give me the chance to add 2x all of the maker gems and would give me 14 slots as opposed to 10. Currently, 60% overall str is worth 25m minimum, 60% top str is 20m min, and 60% bottom dex is cheaper. So any suggestions as to what i should do? I feel it would be cheaper to do the neos set after scrolling, but i just wanna hear some other opinions.

Since Black Neos Clean gives +6(Top) +3(Bottom) for Str, and you makered both with ADv Power and Dex they'd be +11 and +8 Str, with +5 Dex on both right? That's +19 str and 10 Dex already, without a stimulator. A Taragon which is 8/7 would be 13/12 with a Adv Power and Dex, saying you get +2 to Str as it levels it'd be +19/+12 clean. So, if you hammer and get +9 on the Black Neos top (With 60%s) You'd have a 37 Str Top, and say you get +9 with your Neos Bottom (60%) That's 28 Dex bottoms.. A Taragon on the other hand would be with 12 Str 60%s 43+ Str with +12 Dex. :| The Overall is cheaper to scroll, but the Neos set is MUCH cheaper to make so i guess Neos is still cheaper.

60% top str is more like 40m+ MINIMUM. Just to let you know.

Good luck buying any of them, too - Douwe has near unlimited amounts of money and it still took him a month to scroll a top on Bera. I believe he ended up using a few 4x drop sessions at the monsters that drop them.

is it rlly worth it for me tho to have an adv dex on either of my top or bottom? i have 80 base dex aand an adv dex crystal costs 100m+ and there are better ways to improve my dmg w/ that 200m saved, especially since i dont need any more acc

Well, I am planning on making the gloves and shoes as well as my overall. By the way, I have notice that Overall STR 60%s can be bought on Basil for as low as 19-20m (I just won an auction for one myself). I'm not scrolling my overall immediately, but more of a matter of over time. My Reverse Taragon was 15 STR before I began scrolling (17 now with 1 scroll later)... one good thing is that since you can get 60% scrolls instead of Dark scrolls, you can have more assurance that you won't destroy the armour you're working on. Ultimately, however... the Neos armour is 2 pieces, which means twice the amount of augmenting crystals. You could have 10 speed, 10 accuracy, 10 jump, 10 avoidability... or 5 of each of those, all of which could be semi-helpful. The overall stats on the Neos could be better in the end, but the Taragon can potentially be cheaper to make. All in all, it's up to you.

OT: I'm sort of in the same problem currently i have a 18str top and a 8str bottem combined 26str. Reverse taragon has with a +5str crystal base 14str, so to be safe and use 60% overall str the taragon has the potential to have 38str with hammers but You'll have to be lucky and also the Taragon lvls, (not sure about this) per lvl the taragon can get 2strx3 lvls=6str, So it can be even 44str. In the end i think its pretty even, but the decision is yours.

Gigantic Spirit Vikings and a couple other monsters (Pepes?) also drop them, nothing anyone really trains on though, which is why they're rare. It's easy to get bottomwear 60%s because of Galloperas.

[/quote] i thought the same about the makering of a top/bottom, but you actually only get 2 slots per equip, so you actually end up with only 1 more slot. that puts it pretty up to par, if not better if you include leveling(when clean). for scrolling, that's a different story...
