So I'm having a little tough time deciding either sticking to my 3 line overall or making level 40, 3 line Top + bottom Here's the realistic scenario: *Using the given that I will scroll either overall or top + bottom with 60%'s *Overall is higher level meaning max 9% or 6% or 3% per line *Top + Bottom are level 40 meaing max 6% or 4% or 2% per line Overall would be assuming I land all 60's due to vega's: Overall: (Red Mantle) 37 Dex 11 Str [15%~18%~21%~24% Dex] (realistic potential outcome stats) 3 lines Also I don't need the STR. Top + Bottom would be assuming I land all 60's due to vega's on Dex for bottom (and waiting it out for the future for Dex for Top) Top: (Dark Piette Top) 3 Dex [10%~12%~14%~16% Dex] (realistic potential outcome stats) 3 lines Bottom: (Dark Piette Bottom) 19 Dex [10%~12%~14%~16% Dex] (realistic potential outcome stats) 3 lines So basically: Overall: (Red Mantle) 37 Dex 11 Str [15%~18%~21%~24% Dex] (realistic potential outcome stats) 3 lines Vs Top + Bottom Combined (Dark Piette Set) 22 Dex [20%~24%~28%~32% Dex] (realistic potential outcome stats) 6 lines *Also assuming since Nexon always releases new content and ill just wait it out for Dex for Top 60% which hypothetically would give +2 Dex per scroll making it 21 Dex Top + 22 Dex Bottom = 43 Dex (in the future)* Which one should I go for?

I'd go android, even if you don't get the whole set, you still get the next tier of Pot.

It looks like you have a pretty high budget, so go for lvl 90 stirge pants for the higher potential tier and an android top for the better base stats.

instead of lvl 40 gear, if you really care about damage, then you should spend accordingly and get an android set. i'd stick with an overall, but only because i hate the idea of top+bottom since you can't really scroll the top for DEX, unless you chaos it

I don't like "untradeable once equipped" equipment so no android gear for me. Strigemen pants arent widely available for mass scrolling so that another no-no. And for Top I was thinking of mass Enhancing it since they can be easily bought off NPC's. So in a way I'll also gain some Dex on the top.

[/quote] well, your money, your call. enhancing is an option as well, but unless you use adv. enhancing scrolls and only enhance 1-2 times, you could needlesly risk your gear (and worse, not get a single useful stat, remember that's random). also, NPC stuff isn't potentialled, so each time you buy one, you'd have to potential it, then enhance. you could find yourself throwin lots of money down the drain, but if you're lucky you could end with something very good. also, enhancing stuff can only be done if the item has 0 slots, that means scrolling the top. no biggie, you could scroll for HP, or for STR and replace some STR gear with ATT and/or %DEX gear

Ok scratch enhancement, also I plan to get a VIP bow so thats why I dont need the STR at all. Guess ill just use 70% potential scrolls on the top and bottom thru NPC's and then mass scroll 3 line bottoms with 70%'s as the cheaper solution till I make a perfect one then go on a mass cube-a-thon with both top and bottom?

[/quote] scroll it with HP, join the HP hoe legion, i'm very lonely here xD if you're 70%ing, i'd say instead dump 2-3 30%, 2-4 70%, and 1-2 60% as finishers. 30% are cheaper than 70%'s (i bought 3 in bello for 5.5m each today) and landing them could give you more DEX than a straight 70% scrolling. and about the cubing, better get the NX now and buy a whallop in balck friday sale. then you got ~3 months to work on the potentialling+scrolling, then the cubing comes. i can only wish you GL, since not even if i could buy NX i'd do this... i'm not a dmg hoe enough to do this xD

Also 30%'s isnt a bad idea, I might just mass scroll till I land 4-5 30%'s and just use 60% + Vega's as finishers.

[/quote] i like the last idea, tho you might have to wait till next time vegas come, unless this time it stays for long, you get the vegas'd scrolls now, or you really hurry. and i love your HP, i got almost 8.3k with self HB atm without any NX spent

Aren't level 40 and level 70 stuff on the same tier >_> so it doesn't really matter if you get a android set vs the lvl 40set, the only difference is that you can Maker the android set w/ a bit more dex. Well, if you get four pieces, that'd be good? you get an extra 10atk. though, youre just looking for a top and bottom. Go for the top and bottom if you can risk spending a crap load of money on cubes to get the best possible outcome.

[/quote] I wouldn't get the android set regardless because of the untradeability of the item once equipped, its my personal rule to steer away from untradeable items.
