General

@cheapmerchant mostly came from quitting my NL and trading int for luk % and i made majority of my gear through the time of unique pots and cogs, plus i hit miester so i can cube my own gear whenever. as for real money not a lot of real money was spent in this process other than for psoks moving gear from my bam to my i/l...but i did do a crap load of in game merching and just a lot of saving...prior to unleashed i made a lot of funds from boss solo and now i just duo so i didnt require the funds needed to solo most bosses
@rs567 ohh okay well that makes sense cause i didnt know poison breath adds DoT o.o

If you don't mind me asking, about how much $$ has it cost you to obtain the range you have. Either in mesos or if you went the cubing route, real $$.
Thanks, trying to evaluate funding my own FP.

**Edit: Or if you could just tell me how much %int / %matt /% dmg / + matt (excluding your weapon) you have that'd be great too.

@dee14 Ah yeah, I should probably elaborate on that. I was at around your range when I first started doing hell gollux, but it's pretty unpredictable. I used mpe pots, a cheese, a rune of swiftness, and the 20% total damage noblesse skill, so I was basically hitting around 30m per line without infinity. The biggest factor that determines the success of the run is whether viral slime actually kills all the mobs, which....doesn't always happen. If you have someone clearing the bottom for you, I think you should be able to kill it.

@rs567 thank you so much! and so that means i can hell gollux? i thought u needed like 25m+ alone constistently on para to do hell gollux?

You should be able to do pretty much everything, minus chaos vellum. Binders make hard magnus much easier, but you can still kill it without them. I believe you have the damage to kill chaos queen and chaos von bon. You just need to practice jumping to avoid von bon's 1HKO attack. Pierre is slightly more debatable, but I think you could potentially kill it. You just have to work realy on your control and take off points in ignite to avoid healing the opposite hat.

As for your DoT's, you should be using poison breath, paralyze, teleport, and flame haze (which adds two DoT's because of the mist and all). You can see whether all of your DoT's are active by checking your fervent drain count in the top right hand corner (there should be 5). You could potentially sub one of those out for flame gear since it does count as a DoT for mist eruption. But it doesn't add a fervent drain stack, so I preferred not to used it.

i've tried i feel as if im doing something wrong @lilnarutoboy
yet im seeing threads that i should be able to clear because of the dot

Try to kill them, if u succeed then u can kill them..... vl, ht, cht, czak, zak, magnus, hilla, chilla (maybe idk) hell magnus (maybe idk), ark, pb, cpb(maybe idk) ra, ranmaru, hard ranmaru (maybe idk), and empress
