well, i just sold a dep star and got 5 set of ilbis, this is my first sin as well, so if you have money problems it might be a bit better to get more stars so you have a better duration, but your on a better budget than me..

obviously quantity over quality. I remember seeing a video around 5-6 years ago of a guy who had like 200 mil at the time (a lot of money) still using an inventory of tobi with like 4 slots for potions. That's how your endgame use inventory shoudl look like but just work up to full illbis starting with steely and some cheap icies that u can buy for 2k ea

Quantity over quality. What iWinAgain is highly incorrect. In the many cases of stubborn Hermits, many of them sacrifice the 6-7 sets of Ilbis so they can get money for ONE set of Balanced Furies or Crystal Ilbis, and the rest of their stars are Kumbis and likewise. If you have 1 set of star that gives you 2-3 attack more than the ones you have now, and it costs 2x+ the cost, then stay with the lower costing one. This is the opinion I've given everyone with this quesiton. Forget Ilbis, forget Steelys, forget being pro-looking. What matters is how you deal your damage. It's strategically more advantageous to use 3 Steelys instead of 2 Ilbis. It's advantageous to use 30 Tobis than 3 Ilbis. The several attack you miss out on doesn't matter in anyway whatsoever. Go with the Steelys and/or Tobis over the Ilbis

I'm now going to buy the steelies! :D Thanks so much for all your help!

since you'll be starting your first sin ever, the extra +2 attack isn't exactly necessary when you're low level. the damage wouldn't even be that noticable anyways.

[quote] PermNoobTDWP : Lol, I'm using 10 icys and am just fine. I have o funding, but have made 4 mil so far [/quote] They are really nice stars actually. When I first started this NL a long while back, I used Icys until lv 50, then slowly converted to Tobis until about 90 before going to Steelys and Ilbis. Quantity is always better than quality. Having more sets is way better than having more strength.

i agree with iProxD, quantity over quality, im gonna sell my sets of illbis for new sets of steelys/zhelm soon. much better, since i train at windraiders, i hate having to recharge every 1 1/2 hours or so, when i still have a lot of pots left.
