Some questions regarding BaM

1) Should I continue with Evolution World at 140 or switch to DIPQ? Also, if I do go to DIPQ, is it better to solo or to party?
2) Can someone recommend a good 4th job skill build, im confused whether to max the buff max thing or the advanced auras
3) How can I improve my equips with ~100m? Ive got a 6% Shoe but thats it. All my other stuff is clean.
4) Will it be fine for me to continue playing my BaM as a main? I am having an awesome time playing it but I dont want all my work to go to waste if I cant do anything later due to having limited funds.

Thank you!

1) DIPQ all the way. We attack pretty fast and can hold our own in terms of survivability and damage. How did you even manage Evo. I hated doing evo on my BaM. I never did it.
2) Max ADA first, then Grand Light Aura. Then max finishing blow then your other auras. Put Staff Expert somewhere in there.
3) I still have RED Revolution gear so I can't really help you on that. You might be able to scrap a couple pieces of empress here and there for really cheap.
4)I have absolutely NO FUNDING. All of my gears are from events and I'm pretty content. I have a 70K range at lvl 183 but I really don't mind.

Oh thats actually a great idea thank you very much! I have one doubt tho, what staff should I use? I was thinking about getting an empress staff but in BelloNova, the FM is really dead and I dont have any friends here so im not sure how to get one

For equips why don't you just add a core to Evo World giving you mage equips? or MPE because the purple senior set can get you 6%int easily per equip piece.

Thanks for answering! About the funds, do you think I should just save up by selling maple leaves and selling superior crystals?

1. DiPQ. You should have an easy time with it with drain and your mobbing attacks. Even with the flying mobs, you can just twister spin to keep them in place. (Just remember to turn off battle rage). Solo if you have the damage, duo/party if you don't.

2. Umm, I usually go Mastery first (for more consistent damage). Then max out the auras (dark then yellow), then Grand Aura, (reason why I say this later is because it has high cooldowns at early levels, and does less without the Advanced Auras not being maxed anyways). Most people will probably say take Grand Aura first, then max the Auras. Then I'd go Finishing Blow, Battle Rage, MW, and then Dark Genesis.

3. 100m won't get you very far (or anywhere at all) , unfortunately. I'd say just try try using the event to get about 500m+, and then you can start doing some minor upgrades.

4. At level 170, your damage will be significantly higher due to the Hyper you get (400%x7). It has high base damage and hits pretty fast, so even with low funds, you'll be doing good damage.
