How do I fund myself?

So I've been merching for months now and I've recently noticed that I've had meso problems because all my mules are at 2.1b's and I can't reset my stores sometimes and the mesos are just doing nothing and looking pretty, I looked at my unbuffed 9k range and all my mesos and figured it was finally time to fund myself. Problem is, I don't know how.

What should I do? I'm a phantom, should I buy an empress cane and go empress? Tyrant? Loveless? I'm confused. Please help me. I'm going to fund myself one step at a time, tomorrow, I'm planning on going cube crazy and scroll crazy and scroll a weapon to 200+ attack (not including enhancements) and also cubing to legendary as my step one. Please help, Empress or Loveless?

Just assume I have unlimited mesos, since I will be slowly getting piece by piece of equipment and I merch everyday.

Edit: I appreciate the suggestions but is it possible if you guys were more specific? Like, if you suggest that I do an empress cane, then that would imply that I should also get empress equips, and if so, which equips? Thanks again guys!

[quote=nhan1st]Do you plan on ever reselling that cane if you quit? Only buy loveless under these conditions
- You are fine with never ever being able to sell that cane after equipping it
- If you accept condition one, you're not using full empress and are using the tyrant set.

Edit: After re-reading my post, I've notice I made a typo with the godly "can". There's some more stuff I wanted to add.

Order of equipment bought

1. Weapon
2. Secondary Weapon (A pain in the backside to buy, unless you're cubing it yourself)
3. Earrings (Cheapest and most easiest way to get %)
4. Empress Set/Tyrant set % 71+ thief clothes
5. % Accessories such as mask, nose, belts
6. Pot-able rings
7. Scrolled pets.[/quote]

Thank you guys so much for the responses. I didn't actually know that Loveless couldn't be resold. Simply for that reason, I will be getting an empress cane, because it is not much of a base attack difference. I'm going to be using tempest store scrolls, the 25% ones with LOTS of protection scrolls and lucky day scrolls. Each scroll says it will give either 7-9 attack so it beats GM scrolling. Also if I scroll all successfully (LOTS of clean slates) and get 2 NX hammers, I'll be able to hit past 200 attack without using any AEE's. Then I'll AEE and it should give me 5 attack for each AEE.

Thanks guys for the help again!
I'm most likely getting Tyrant things, also, someone recommended to me to get Dojo gloves as well.

Thanks also for the recommendation on the secondary weapon, I'll make sure to find a good one, because it does sound like a huge pain to make my own one. Perhaps I should get earrings before getting the secondary weapon, but not like it matters with the order.

Pot able rings, definitely! I actually made my own 15% luk tempest ring last miracle time! Perhaps I'll use that or if possible, I'll try to find an even better one, since it is quite difficult to find a legendary % luk tempest ring.

Go for upgrading equips that are not meso intensive, would highly recommend going for % stuff on your armor (empress set preferably) then work on your weapon since that will require alot of funding.

[quote=nhan1st]Let's just say it would be wise to buy the items prescrolled and precubed since it will be cheaper.

Since we are assuming you have unlimited mesos, it matters not what you can get as you can buy anything you want. Jokes aside, I'd recommend buy an godly can first. Everything else, you can take your time to find. Just try not to fall under 3b at anytime while funding as you would need some money to merch back up again.[/quote]

I agree with the statement about pre scrolled and precubed, I'm most likely just going to make myself my own weapon and buy the rest of the stuff.
