Potential TOP & BOTTOM vs. OVERALL

I'm planning to make my end-game equips pretty soon and right now I'm leaning towards using 3 lined Dark Level 40 Archer Top and Bottom (if my Stirgeman pants cannot be upgraded to level 90 and or be 3 lined). I PLAN to cube these to unique and what is the better choice? Level 100/110 3 lined overall or 6 Lines of Level 40 Top/Bottom.

Also, can I still upgrade my level 20 Stirgeman Pants to level 90?

[quote=nubalubapuss]Also forgot to add. The 140 equips come with "bonus effect" similar to the android sets. Here's a pic

And if you can't read Korean, this is it...

- 2 set effect: +300 physical and magic defense, +200 accuracy and avoidability
- 3 set effect: +15% MaxHP and MaxMP
- 4 set effect: +15 weapon attack and a reduction in duration of all abnormal statuses
- 5 set effect: +15 allstat and all skill levels +2
- 6 set effect: +30 weapon attack and +30% damage against bosses[/quote]
You should also include the fact that the Lv140 equipment drops ONLY from the Cygnus Boss. It's the Lv130 equipment that you can create with the new creating system.
OT: Just asking, why would you want a Lv40 Top & Bottom to be your end-game armor? They are only 2nd tier potential.

Haha, but all the lvl 140 equips require 170 points in secundairy stat, for warrior, thief, mage, pirate and... bowman
Yay for the ones with 91 base str!

According to the current theory, top/bottom does have more chances of having more potential than overall, yet with that equipment come out, it'd best out any top/bottom combination.
I guess this means alot of mesos/nx gathering before that comes out then....it's getting more outrageous again.
oh well...may the richest wins.
[quote=nubalubapuss]Agreed with Juacar. It's next to impossible. You have to defeat the Empress Boss, who has more HP than even PB, not to mention she spam summons her "minions", all who spam their attacks and do heavy damage. She also has a pot cooldown map, so it's a lot harder to maintain health.[/quote]

The level 140 gear, ridiculous.
MapleStory is getting, way too easy.

Although, how hard would it be to aquire the level 140 gear?

I think all of them. I don't see why they would give you the def/acc/avoid boost, then take it away as soon as you equip another of the set. Don't quote me on that though... this IS Nexon we're talking about here

Plus, if you look at the last picture, all 5 effects are green, meaning they are activated. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't +45 attack be more of a boost than 27% dex pot?

I realize most people won't give up their PAC for the cape, so that means they'd have an extra 128 dex clean from all the equips, all of which could be pot'd and cubed for dex %, to easily give you more than you would for a top/bottom combo. Not to mention all of the equips have more slots than any other equips, making them able to have even more stats added on.

Oh thats nice!

Anyway, atm, if your equips were to be perfect, 6 lines of 31-70 equips would be better then a level 71 overall. But also twice as much cubing to do.

[quote=nubalubapuss]Personally, I'd say wait until the level 140 equips come. Believe me... the godly stats on them make any current equips look horrible. If I'm not mistaken, GMS has more "godly" players than KMS, so we might be able to beat that chick first to get the items. I think the Bowman Overall has like + 2x dex and str with 12 slots clean.[/quote]

I thought they were only weapons? Or are there equips too?

you should make an android set if it's 3rd Tier, if not, go with overall
BUT, if you're willing to pay over 10bil for just one equip, and alot more with another, then go with top + bottom
