How should I increase my range?

Hello, I have done lots of things to increase my range but now i'm at a point where it is hard to increase it. I do not wish to spend NX, so that also makes it hard.
I am thinking about crafting cubes and trying to cube things, but that's kind of hard to do. I want to do this as cheap as possible, but for the best possible results. I do not wish to Spell Trace, all scrolls I use should be prime. I have some mesos, so I can spend a bit.
My range: 166229-174920(clean) 238309-250814(fully buffed including AA) 101% Boss 68% PDR

Equipment:
Totems: Dark lords of darkness totems, going to get full dark mage totems.
Medal: Black Swordsman
Inner Ability: Magic Attack + 15, drop rate 8%, 7 luk.
Rings: Evolving ring III lvl 10, Explorer's Magical Ring, Solid Gollux Ring (clean, 3% int), and boss damage sylph ring..
Full RA set: Clean hat and top, 12% int each(unique). Clean pants with crap potential. Fafnir Wand +6 1 star 254 m atk 6% int 6% m atk(epic) 15% PDR nebulite.
Solid Gollux set: 3% int belt and ring, 6% int pendant (all clean)
Gloves/Shoes: 7% int red sneakers, 3% int 10 m atk Flamekeeper Cordan gloves
Cape/Shoulder: 6% int clean tyrant cape(epic), 9% int clean Commerci Shoulder(epic)
Shield/Emblem: 10 int 8 m atk 1% int maple mage shield, 3% allstat 9% crit unique adventurer gold emblem.
Glasses/Face: 7% int SW tattoo(epic), 2% int dragon glasses.
Earrings/Badge: 10 int 11 m atk 5% int red emerald earrings, RED warriors badge
Crusader Codex: 3 all, 1% all stat 15% PDR (hoblin king set)
So, what should I do? i'm planning on replacing solid gollux and earrings with full reinforced gollux. Cube? If so, how to obtain them without NX? All help appreciated, thank you! This is my main character, my I/L. I know, I'm bad.

Also, I have 12/12 link skills(the best ones), and good character cards/sets because I have lots of high levels. So I can't really improve much when it comes to links/character cards.

1. Alright, so I found a clean epic-tier last unwelcome magician shield on my battle mage. Is this good enough? Or should I go for a unique one?

1. It's good enough for now, but you should keep an eye out for a unique one.. or you could cube up to unique.
3. You can get dojo gloves as long as you make it in the top 50. For most dead worlds, just completing dojo with w/e time will guarantee a spot on top 50. Dojo gloves are handed out 4 times per day: 11:50 am/pm and 5:50 am/pm.
5. Idk if there is a coin shop coming or not. You could wait for it while working on other equips
6. Was this recent? Cuz that's pretty lucky. In my opinion, I think nexon secretly nerfed master/meister tier up rate, before (3months+ ago) I could tier up epic->unique with ~10 master/meister cubes, and now it takes me on avg 30-50 cubes. I tested this over 2 weekends and used ~110 cubes (cumulative total), I farmed cubes during the weekday, then cubing spree on weekend. xD

[quote=headphones]1st, I would work on replacing your shield with a lvl 71+ shield (ie vip magician shield). You should buy a unique tier one, a bad stats one will cost 1b and then cube for m.atk% or boss%.[/quote]

2. I've already bought the pendant and belt and epic potted them both from events. The ring and earring, i'm working on farming from gollux

3. Dojo gloves? Don't you have to get in like the top 20 to get them? I don't know if I can manage that

4. I have been doing daily commerci, trying to get 7% int glasses but no luck so far.

5. I think i'm aiming towards scrolling with iCoG or CoG. Shouldn't I wait for an coin shop event to get these instead of buying? Or is it to hard to get large amounts of these scrolls from events.

6. I've actually upgraded with master craftsmans cubes twice from epic to unique. I was probably really lucky though. I got my top and hat to 12% int each with craftsman cubes, so they aren't THAT bad. I'm thinking about waiting for a unique pot event to get my stuff to unique then cube, or buy equipment pre-cubed to unique. Any idea when another unique pot event is coming?

1st, I would work on replacing your shield with a lvl 71+ shield (ie vip magician shield). You should buy a unique tier one, a bad stats one will cost 1b and then cube for m.atk% or boss%.

rein set -> 250k range is more than enough to solo normal gollux comfortably, so you can farm your own rein ring + earrings + scrolls. The belt and pendant you can buy in fm for very cheap.

gloves -> get dojo gloves

eyes -> sw glasses, if you do commerci you can farm for your own

ra set -> cheaply: scroll with spell traces for +int, expensive: scroll with 30% CoG, then clean slate failed slots

As for cubes, I wouldn't recommend cubing your own stuff, especially not epic tier, unless you have easy access to nx. It is much cheaper to buy equipment pre-cubed with the tier/stats you're looking for. The only way to get cubes without spending nx is to craft them, and to craft them you need smithing lvl 12 (meister). And I do have to warn you that the crafted cubes (master/meister) are notorious for providing horrible stats, and incredibly low tier up rates.
