How long does it take to get 2m-2m range? Assuming a "few" things: -Starting completely from scratch, no money spent at all the whole time. -3 hours of play time a day on weekdays, 8 hours of play time on weekends. -No help from friends (or maybe minimal help {eg, boss runs with guild [but no getting "carried" runs!]} - I guess "minimal" is subjective...) -"Play time" is spent efficiently (so not wasting time on things like shumi's jump quest or sitting around chatting {unless you think spamming "mesos plox" would efficiently get you better range than out doing stuff}. - basically doing dailies, gollux, commerci, maybe sp for rp?, etc and taking advantage of every event. -You know all the in

Cube sale? So which cube bundle(s) to buy? So this week's cube sale I'm planning on spending $20 on cubes. question is should I get 2sets of red, 1 set of black, or 1 set of bonus? My bpots on wep, sec, and emblem are all rare (I never bought bpot cubes before). If I were to buy cubes, they would also be on weapons: Emblem is leg 70% ignore def, 12%str (I'm dual blade) wep is unique 30% ignore def, 15% luk secondary is unique with all 3 lines crap. I was thinking of trying my luck with bpot cubes since there's really no other way of improving that. I can just slowly work on normal pots with the 10 monthly cubes and master/meiser boss drops but how much does bpot help range and how many tier ups can I get with just 10 bpot cubes compared to

What to cube? I need help on deciding what I should spend my monthly 5red/5black cubes on. I'm a dual blade btw. My weapon is currently unique 30% ignore def, 15% luk Emblem is legendary 70% ignore def, 12%str Unique 9% luk top and 9% luk bot (other two lines lame) Unique reinforced gollux pend 3%luk. Epic hat (3% luk) and epic tyrant cape (0% luk) These are my only equips worth cubing. My secondary weapon isn't an "end game" katara yet so I'm not bothering with cubing that. My gloves and shoes are empress set and currently epic 3% luk each but since I'm not planning on keeping these I don't want to spend cubes on it. Most of my other equips (belt, earrings, face, rings) are rare 3% luk. I'm at 200k range unbuffed with 97% boss an

Question about skill points my friend has an evan with extra points in 3rd job... His problem is that he has maxed his 3rd job skills but still have points left over. This wouldn't be a problem if evans were like other classes and skill points could be used in previous jobs but he says his 3rd jobs skill points can't be used on his 2nd job skills (which aren't maxed out) I don't have an evan so I can't really help him with this problem but are evans supposed to have extra skill points? o.o EDIT: ok so I've found the problems >.> 1) He actually DIDN'T finish all the quests.... He lied to mee >:O 2) He doesn't have the magic guard skill book, didn't know you needed money for and evan.

Do you think nx ruins the game? ok, just to be clear, it's not just NX that ruins the game. It's the fact that if you don't have nx, you're at a really big disavantage. Lonnnnggg time ago, when nx first started out, a person with 100,000NX would have no advantage over someone with 0NX. NX back then was just for looks. The only small advantage a person with nx has would be saving time from looting mesos/items themselves and having their pet do it. Nowadays, someone with 100,000NX is leagues ahead of someone with 0NX (considering they have the same mesos,lvl,etc and the only difference is the amount of NX). They can get better skills (if you're evan or duelblade), gach for special items or sell for mesos, upgrade their weapons better (hammer/
