How to upgrade my equips?
Hello, here is a list of my equips:
Hat: 3% str elven tiara
Top: 4% str commodore
Bottom: 3% str platine
Earrings: 12% str half earrings
Pendant: 10 att MoN
Belt: 4% str maple belt
Ring: 10 att evo ring 3
Ring: 3 att legendary ring
Ring: 3 att, 5% crit gratias ring
Ring: 5 att abr
Gloves: 3% str, no att maple gloves
Shoes: 9% str red sneakers
Cape: Not even worth mentioning
Weapon: 174 att, 30% boss, 8% crit stonetooth
Pretty much all of my equips are nebbed with 1% str, and I included that. I have about 200mil to spare. Any advice would be helpful, thanks for your time!
EDIT: Anyone?

Sell everything thats not STR, then replace them with str. And then make everything like higher %STR, like the hat. The hat sucks..
[quote=Cthulhusama]@calebheads: Generally clean Empress Equips beat out equips are only 3-6% str so when upgrading either upgrade to 9%+ or get Empress gear (preferably Empress Gear with %str which was so much easier when Epic Scrolls were tradeable....). You tend to get best results by getting a mix of %str and attack but since you can get %str on equips easier than attack (IMO) then I would think it best to get a bunch of attack from empress equips since that is a cheap easy source.
As for my equips? Without checking Maple to be sure let me see if I can remember:
158 atk ST with 30% boss, 6% dmg, 6% dmg
HTP with 1 atk (15% accessory for atk scroll) and 6% str,
Lionheart Bracer with only 11 atk (I need to finish scrolling it since it has 7 free slots still) with 12% str
Silent Crusader Shoulder +14 str and 8 atk with 10% str
Kenta's Goggles with 7% str
Neos Top with 10% str
Neso Bottom with 6% str
Scarlion with 6% str (need to cube my 6atk Lionheart Helm)
All 3 Evo rings max level
Crit Ring
3% earring
3% shoe
3% Marx VL Belt with 2 atk
My earring and shoe suck but I haven't bothered to replace them yet.[/quote]
Wow and I was just beginning to think my equips were pretty good. I think I'll just try to go %str because I just spent a few hundred mil on my shoes and earrings - also, the empress cape and weapon seem a bit tedious to get.

[quote=alex168]You don't have much %str so you should go get empress stuff. str:atk ratio is approximately str(excluding %str) divided by your total attack.[/quote]
Which empress equips should I start with?
[quote=Cthulhusama]What a weird disparity between your weapon and everything else you have....
My ST is only 158 atk but I manage to have almost double your %str (and I haven't even bothered to get earrings or shoes with %str yet)...
Anyway. You could try for 4 pieces of the 140 set. You could get shoe, glove, helm, and overall for ~200mil (give or take) but that would mean losing almost 1/3rd of your %str. You would be getting a ton of +str and Atk in exchange though.
Personally I think you would be better off just saving up and buying really good equips rather than doing minor upgrades frequently. Save up for some 32atk Lionheart Bracers with decent %str or something.
If you are dead set on upgrading now? I'm pretty sure clean Lionheart Bracers are better than your 3% gloves and only cost ~50 mil. Same with the hat for that matter.[/quote]
I was under the impression that you should either get all %str or all empress (or emp with %str of course). Do you know the ratio for att to %str at my level? I have about 1300-1400 str (8**+5**). By the way, what are your equips and your range?

[quote=brandonx48]Do you have a belt? If not you can get a 4% str one for only like 10-15m, the lvl 40 ones.[/quote]
Oh yeah, I forgot to add the belt - I have a 4% one.
[quote=x1mmortality]Get a 6% str cape. Best way of spending your mesos.[/quote]
Do you know how much that would cost?
Get a 6% str cape. Best way of spending your mesos.
I suggest you merch more to a couple bill then slowly start getting everything 9% str +
