*** EDIT: I JUST REALIZED I ACCIDENTALLY POSTED THIS IN THE WRONG SECTION *** (Mods, Feel free to move this if needed, And apologies towards others.) So at the moment my Aran is level 121, And i would say my damage range is decent. (3315~7670) ** Quoted Damage Range is before these equips, and using only 15% STR and Polearm Double Edit: My Base Dex is 60, And i intend on changing/fixing that soon enough. (More NX related barriers) I am currently looking to forge an equipment upgrade path to hold me through till the very end. Im not looking to be the very best geared Aran, But having above average damage would be nice for solo'ing and bossing purposes. More or less something to set me apart from the other Arans in the Maple world when attempting to join boss runs. My current equips are: Chaos Zakum Helm +21 All Clean (Potential: +20 Accuracy +6% STR +3% STR Chaos Horntail Pendant +25 All Green Commodore Pants +19 Dex, +3 STR (Potential: +3% STR +3%STR) Blue Neos Top +16 STR, +4 DEX (Potential: +6% STR +10 STR) Reverse Diesra 166 Attack, +18 STR, +13 DEX (Potential: +12 Attack, +12 Attack) (Yes, This is hacked, Purchased it for 500m knowing the risks) Blue Crescent Boots +4 STR, +2 DEX Clean (Potential: +6 Speed, +6 Speed, +3 Speed) Amos' Royal Cape +5 STR (Potential: +2% STR +2% DEX) Lita's Hero Gloves +8 Attack, +4 STR +2 Dex (Potential: Accuracy 2%, +2% HP) Rose Earrings Clean (Potential: +3% STR, +45 HP) Belt: None - Working on obtaining a new one after i sold my last. Black belt best? Face Accessory: None, Dont seem to phase me much. I have roughly 1-2bill to work with, But am hesitant to change various items due to having limited access to cubes as i personally cannot obtain NX in any way, shape or form other then purchasing from players. My assumptions would be to obtain a nice belt, a new cape possible a PAC, Cube earrings for more %STR, 10+ Attack Reverse Gloves with SE potential, And maybe work on creating reverse top/bottom/overall. However i am still very interested and open to opinions on what would be changed first. Thanks

Looking at your equips I think you could probably get better attack gloves.

[quote] hayhoo : go for scg 17+ atk if you plan on making another class for bb. if you plan on just sticking with aran buy 19+ war gloves [/quote] Plan on sticking with the Aran, And how much would said gloves cost? Sounds like it would take the majority of my cash to buy those items for only one upgrade Dont forget i am not trying to be the best, So +19 Attack seems very much overkill to me. I would personally settle for a +10/12 Warrior glove.. How large of a difference are we talking?

STR % Gloves. =D They would be better than attack gloves, IMO. Aim for 9%+ Str warrior gloves.

Timeless gloves, instead of a blackbelt get one of these new alien ones, perhaps if you don't have an explorer or lillins ring try one of the alien rings as well? 1xx Cape with some godly strength, spec goggles potentialed with str

[quote] ShroomAttack : STR % Gloves. =D They would be better than attack gloves, IMO. Aim for 9%+ Str warrior gloves. [/quote] Point taken Above - I assume you mean Reverse Gloves and not Timeless? New alien belts if i recall have a +2 stats to all bonus over a black belt, but cost upwards of 500m. Worth it? Stats on the Alien Rings and Prices? What would you define a godly amount of STR on a cape? As far as goggles go, I dont intend on using any face accessories.

Your assumptions are correct for the most part... minus the overall because you can get twice the potentials from a top/bottom than an overall (not to mention the top and bottoms are resellable :O) For belts, a Pharaoh's belt would be best, assuming you can get a good potential, otherwise Alien belts would be a good alternative, because they're cheaper than black belts and also easier to find. Face Accessory can go last unless you need the extra accuracy or want to spend 50-75mil on something clean. In General I think you should go for upgrading to all 71+ items with decent scrolling and 3 lined potential before cubing, also expect A LOT of cubes for self SE on reverse gloves if you're going to attempt it!

[/quote] Would it be worth it scrolling a new top/bottom or not? Consdiering i wouldnt be able to milk much more stats out of them without blowing mass mesos, and they have good potentials thus far. Point taken on Immortal Pharaoh's Belt over a Black Belt. I could obtain one myself quite easily as i already have a few scrolls laying around. I am not too interested in face accessories, They are far and beyond to find and when they are discovered, the prices are insanely steep. Is it safe to assume that upgrading Gloves, Cape and Belt would be my safest and strongest options for that extra kick? Buying/Scrolling to peoples advice accordingly Edit: I think the only item i have under level 71 are my gloves and cape

[quote] thisisjamiep : i would say your really funded. However your range is low oO [/quote] Quoted range is before i potentialled/bought most of these equips. Sorry to be misleading, I was interrupted with my items by the server check. Also note the Zakum Helm, and Chaos HTP are not yet on the said Aran. Having difficulties obtaining two SoKs to move them over. Edit: Changed first post to include information i should have mentioned before. Also included i am reg dex, 60 Base. And intend on changing that soon (NX Related Barriers and what not)
