Hi, I'm Bearrier from Mardia. I currently have a dilemma. I am approaching the level when I have to decide if I want to just be Strless or become low STR. Any help to decide this matter will help immensely. So I think the basic question would be would a Perfectly Scrolled Maple Kandiva be better than a Perfectly Scrolled Reverse Engaw?

The Engaw will be better.

low str, i recommend going normal, 5 str above your level, if you do low str it messes up your accuracy, need dex just pump that and youll be unstoppable

So now is the question, HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSE TO GET STR? Things I have: 17 Str Scarlion Helm 6 Str Earrings 1 Str Broken Glasses Needing about I dunno 96 more STR. Willing to put about 21 into STR so 75 STR is still needed.

a perfect engaw = 113 clean + 45 = 158 atk . a perfect diva = 82(?) + 45 = 127 atk . thats like a 30 atk difference . a person going low str can equip the engaw at around 60-70 base . 60 dex =/= 30 atk the dex will not make up for the atk you lose .

Be STRless, and use what, a Sauna/other low-requirement robe/etc? By being STRless, sure, you may be able to equip that VIP Bow, but you still miss out on the stat potentials given on 71+ armor. So, either way, you'll still be outdamaged. LowSTR ftw.

[/quote] You can equip Level 120 Overalls, Gloves, Shoes without STR. Try it sometimes. It has no Str requirement. Only the Bow requires STR.

I would go low-str. There's all sorts of things floating around about how low-str eventually outdamages str-less, if that's the deciding factor for you. Just raise your base str. It's very doable to have 50-60 str base and still equip high level bows. Of course if the VIP bow is really str-less, you won't have to worry about any of this.
