A seemingly impossible gap Range
Hi Everyone, I just recently rejoined my FP and I'm finally committed to making this a main that i pursue and play with. I've started to fund it, but I honestly have no idea where to start. I'm hoping the FP archmage community can help me out.
Currently my FP is lv 158, and has the following:
1. 404 matt 120 int Faf Staff with 15% matt and 6% total damage Potential.
2. 12% int tempest ring
3. 14% int Mask (this is actually 30 att 14% all stat, but only relevant portions are the 14%)
4. Other superfluous things, such as, Perfect absolute Belt, evo rings, some random gloves + earings with 4-6% int each.
5. clean faf set. (temporary)
Does anyone have any suggestions on where i should start? At the moment I'm a bit too broke to do anything big, but assume I have around 30b.
Additionally, I understand an additional 30b only, will not be enough to land me my target range, if anyone could give me an estimate on how much actually that'd be great, as time progresses I'll continue to try to make more, just want a sense of direction for the time being.
P.S (here's where the title comes into play) --- Right now i only have around 70k range clean, It seems like such a far ways off from 1.5m --- is this just because he amount of range you get is like an exponential curve with all the int stacking, or am i just incredibly behind. B/c it seems almost impossible to obtain the goal if the increase is as slow as it has been.
Thanks,

Thanks @Rationalism, that was alot of help!
Just to give you an idea of what to buy, I took off my gear on my i/l to get 1.5m range and got it with pretty much a full cra set with 15%ish lines plus nebs, a perfect reinforced set with 15%ish lines plus nebs, 2 scrolled gollux rings with 15%ish lines and nebs, and 2 8star tyrants with 15% int and nebs, a 15% shoulder and neb, a 15% emblem, and my staff and secondary are cubed for %matt which total to about 50%. The nebs are all either 3% or 4%. I know in Scania 4% are abundant but 3%'s are perfectly fine. Oh I also have pretty much every link skill that adds range.
Keep in mind I have no emblem, 4th ring, gloves, belt, and android on. Most of those equips are pretty easy to add range with, especially the belt, gloves, and emblem.
I never wear anything I make if I can help it until it's finished. If you want to cube your own gollux set and end up with another job's stat just try to trade someone for int.
You make a good point ^^. I'll take that into consideration.
[quote=CheapMerchant]Do you recommend cubing my own gollux? I feel like it's a bit ineffecient, b/c say I get 15% Luk, It would be a waste to recube that to find 15% int.[/quote]
You can't think that way. You're basically trying to get the most profit with the least effort. You have to go all in when cubing your gear and try for % stat you need. I've told people this before but a good pattern to follow is to try and unique everything first. 9% int on all THEN work your way up from there. You won't be able to get 1.5m range over night. It's been about a year for me and my Kanna just hit 5.1m range and that's from me buying nx regularly for a few months because my budget allowed me to splurge then so patience is the key.

Cubing your secondary and emblem's potential and bonus potential for %m.atk will probably provide the next biggest increase to your range. I'd recommend making your gollux equips first, since they're usually pretty overpriced in the FM and it adds a ton to your range as well.
If possible you can also icog your CRA if you can get your hands on some. A reinforced (or superior if you can get some) gollux set would also help boost your range especially using adv gollux scrolls and potting them. Get some tyrants as well, cape is easiest and cheapest to get and since tyrant boots/belt are pretty expensive you can settle for nova boots and gollux belt if you want to save.
I would use 70% spell traces on your CRA equips then enhance them to 10-12 stars. That should add a decent amount to your range. You undoubtedly will not reach 1.5m range with 30b, you'll need tons more than that.
I don't feel like i really have anything left to spell trace though.
Given that, The only thing that is really spell traceable for a large upgrade is your weapon, and mine is already maxed on attack.
how are spell traces for like, +int on equips?
I think spell traces and enhancing would be your best bet. I'm in the same boat on my Archmage
I'd like to know, if possible, what i would need on each CRA to be able to reach close to my ideal range. B.c i'd prefer not to have to spend money on replacing them or recubing them. If you get my drift.
You should first get decent potted CRA set, that would boost your range at least 50-150k or more depending on pot. Also get tyrant and gollux
