I currently have a base of 81 strength, and back in the day I was poor and didn't know about capping strength until later in the game. With equips I have 116 str, and I need 125 str to equip a reverse engaw I have. My equips are: Zhelm (normal stats) Deputy Star (normal stats) Blue Arzuna overall (4 str, 16 dex, Pot: 3% dex; +5int) 0 slots lvl 80 bowman shoes (1 str 10 dex, Pot: 3% dex; 3% avoidability; +40avoidability) 0 slots 10atk WG, 0 slots PAC: 2atk 10dex, 0 slots White dojo belt, 3 slots Red Rex earrings: +3 str, +4dex, 3 slots, with a Pot of: 3% dex; +20 weap defense 4 zombie rings The last adventurer medal I was thinking of definitely getting a better dojo belt, although it's annoying as hell to grind that place by yourself. I'll probably get a yellow or blue belt and scroll it. Other than that I was thinking of maybe getting a giles cape with %dex pot and scroll it for str, but I'm not sure. I have 895mil, but 350mil of it is going towards buying 50% scrolls to scroll my engaw, so 545mil of fund to work with. I'd appreciate any advice.

jmax52 : nice evernew mine's only revealed (haven't cubed it yet) so the stats are sucky, but i hope to get at least 1 more STR out of it with 500m, your best bet are shoes. in fact, cost-wise, the best equip to get STR from, besides scar/zak helms, are reverse shoes. i mean, with an adv. power you get 8 STR base. that's putting aside the leveling (as i told you, i once had a 11 STR max lvl shoe) seeing as vega scrolls are back for a while, i'd take this chance to make the gloves. the reason i'm using my arcina are the godly stats it has (2 STR 5 DEX 14 ATT hamm unpot) for the unbelievable price i made it for (70-80m), but making reverse gloves are almost last on my list. why? getting a good ATT glove can be tricky, and since it's a reverse, resale value is lost when you equip it (and, unless you scroll it with the skill, you can't sell it if the scrollling fails).also, even tho with leeching anyone can be 120 in a week or less, 120 is still considered high level equip-wise. plus, the potential skill that gloves offer is garbage for any 120+ bowman (decent SE >_>). if you're still keen in making gloves, i'd recommend the lvl 100 gloves instead. way cheaper to make, and you don't lose so much in terms of both DEX, STR and potential stats if you use maker getting a chaos zhelm, on the other hand, is rated higher on my upgrading list. the 10% HP is insane for us (my rex earrings give me ~500 HP) and the stats are very good. but still, if you're gonna buy one, i'd consider scrolling the overall+shoes with 60%'s to get an ever bigger boost in DEX (and for cheaper) and leveling them (my overall is a 15/25 +8 lvl 3 reverse, and i haven't gotten a single DEX off leveling. i landed 7/10 over DEX 60% tho) since scrolls are cheaper than the helm (the 10 ove DEX 60% could be 80-100m, and the shoe jump 60% around 20-30m) for now, if you can use the engaw with another cape/gloves/any item you can use and not sacrifice too much ATT or DEX, i'd go level up the overall and make the shoes ASAP. you could very well get 1-6 STR off it without spending a single penny (and that's not counting the shoes high STR+leveling), then focus on %/+ATT/%DEX equips to boost your damage instead of STR equips to use the engaw also, your higher STR makes the equipment choice easier, since you don't have to use adv. power crystals or expensive gear to get 46 STR (i got my +56 with around 300-400m, prolly less since i hunted for several of my reverse stuffs and whatnots)
