Phantom Zakum Run

Hello Basilmarketers! Thanks for stopping by my thread.
So...

Here's the deal: I want to Zakum on a level 158-ish Phantom.
- Hes UNFUNDED ENTIRELY
- All stats are currently Lv. 10 (exception of Penombre at 20)
- On 3% Luk
- Dexless
- About 20k Fully buffed with Rage, Karma/concentrate/dark clarity (I use rage + one of the other buffs) and lv 10 AB (used my own)
- I have a dep star with +5 or 6 luk with %avoid pot (bought this because of bossing reasons, due to my lack of funds, and its elementary, my dear, Watson)
- 106 attk Hilla Cane (probably low quality, but w/e. Its better than nothing)
- Scrolled homecoming pants for +4 additional dex (to wear the cane)
- FULL homecoming set (have the pendant too, but using dep star instead)
- 3% total damage pot 120 card
- NORMAL Angelic Blessing Ring with all stats +1 (traded Vol D'ami 30 for a shop to fund money for the ring, and face it, all you need is at least 1-10 vol anyway)
- Cannoneer link skill
- Jett link skill (all stats +5 with +7 wep/matt)
- Cygnus buff from my 120 Dawn Warrior

So, how long would I last in Zakum in both a standard party (meaning Arans, Evans, DS', DBs etc) and a party with a 191 Bucc and 165 Drk, with random people included
(also includes mules for both groups)

And, if possible, provide me with items I can get on a EXTREMELY tight budget, meaning no Empress or godly %luk or w/e.

ALSO, should I try to scroll my homecoming armors for +att while the homecoming events are in place?
-------
Bit off topic, but can you also provide how to make empress self-sustain? I'd like to know once I'm able to buy/get Empress.

@xvboomvx Ive got 600k on me now, but I can try to sell off a Dark Fog 10 and that aran Combo book (cant remember the name), though I dont have karma to remove the trade canceler.

you can probably solo
for arms use super op bucc lazer cannon of death
and for the body use super op sair 2000rpm gun of unlimited ammo and death
also use meso guard and any other buffs that increase your health or decrease dmg taken

Vol 30? LOL doesn't exist. You just need like 20~pots because you dodge almost everything. Keep ff up.

[quote=leopard16]I soloed zak at 138 with 3% earrin and clean 100 wep. Took me like 15minutes surviving was not an issue for me 'specially since i have final feint.
Edit: I have max BoF and cygnus BoF and all link skill if that helps.
Double edit: Zakum no longer drops books. Chaos zakum now drop books instead.[/quote]

Zakum drop skill books but at an awful drop rate. Czak has better drop rate than regular zak.

I soloed zak at 147 on my phantom while my range was about 23k range self-buffed in 32 minutes. You probably will make it.

You'll survive with no problems.

For a self sustain empress gear, you'll need equips that can boost your DEX (Helm, rings, top/bottom, shoes, belt, eye/face,etc) Dex potions, Cannoneer link skill and Monkey Magic buff, Maple Warrior.

If you're going to sell those books you'll need NX. An advice, it's not worth it selling those books.

You'll survive just fine. And yes, you should scroll your homecoming armor.
