What Should I Upgrade?

HI GUYS!

I've mained my Lumi, moved all my perm NX from my Explorers to him and dumped all my funds (not much) into him.
I'm trying for the best range I can possibly achieve. I'm okay with spending money on maple, as I would spend money on lunch or coffee, every now and then.

As of now I have the full CRA set Spell traced with 70%int scroll and Enhanced to 10 stars. I have all the reinforced Gollux stuff (cept the ring) 10 starred as well, I just used spell traces because I couldn't get the scrolls myself back then. I've started doing EZ gollux and have about 50 coins now... I have evo ring MAX10 and MAX17 and a crappy legendary ring + Silver Blossom Ring 10 starred. Black metal shoulder 10 starred. I have a bunch of "Boss SET" accessories enhanced to 10 stars. No notable sub weapon. Crappy cape, crappy gloves, crappy shoes. My gloves and shoes are 4 and 5 mattack and both 4% int. I failed 1 95% scroll on my Rod, I cry ertim. it's only 10 stars.

I have about 2 bil to upgrade with, I was thinking of getting a tyrant cape.

What are my best options for best dmg, long term, and bossing?

THANK YOU!

Tyrant cape is a core cape but not needed early on. Work on finishing your wep.- secondary-emblem.

@DrChi: Tyrant capes are quite expensive, and you really need to enhance them quite a bit for them to be good. Most people don't realize how expensive it really is to enhance a Tyrant cape to a decent amount though. The billions of mesos it would take to get a 10 star tyrant cape can be spent much better elsewhere. People are getting Tyrant capes before they even have decently scrolled gollux and weapons, which will really help out a lot more.

RIP epic pot scrolls 2015. 50%s go for about 100 mil each, so once you can start merching it's not too bad to get epic pot on everything.

High Quality Dimension gloves come 12 att/m.att clean, and 18 all stats. You can spell trace them for m.att yourself I believe, and it's pretty cheap, then starforce.

When you kill RA bosses, they drop runes which can be used to open boxes from the npc at the top right of the map. When you open boxes, there's a small chance they'll have a special effect, such as "Cannot be destroyed by normal scrolls (like dark scrolls)". The good one though, is "100% chance to tier-up when using cubes". This means that if it reveals as rare, one cube will take it to epic, then one more to unique, then one more to legendary, which can have some really high %int lines. People usually open the box with shoes+gloves, since those are the equip slots that don't really have a much better alternative till quite a bit later on. I'm not sure I'm pretty sure the items that come out of the box can be either 100 or 110, but i'm not sure if there are others. For Mage, this means you'll want to be searching for one of the Ciara gloves (not sure which color, maybe all of them can come out of the box), or Blue Elemental gloves. Search them with owl of minerva, and when you actually look at the item, see if it has "100% chance to tier up" at the bottom. I found some level 100 Pirate gloves with this effect, and bought them for 10 mil.

For emblem, I believe you'll want to get the Boss Arena emblem. Just afk in boss arena for 10 matches (or actually play if you want, I dont find it that fun. All you have to do is participate in 10 matches) and you'll get the emblem which can be potential'd and can have weapon stats.

Pocket Slot isn't CRAZY useful, but it's still nice to have. I'm still working on mine. You get it from a quest once you reach level 30 charm. Charm can be obtained primarily from equipping some items. Notable examples are Chaos/normal Zakum Helmets, Chaos/normal Horntail Pendants, Gollux items, Perma NX, Spieglemann's Moustache, and Dojo Belts. I run all my daily bosses (Normal+Chaos Zak, and 2 Normal HT runs) and equip the helmets/pendants then drop them. Then I run Gollux and equip/drop cracked/solid pendants and belts. The pendants give I believe 30 while the belts give 100, so you may want to not equip pendants and just sell them, but belts are worth to me. If you feel like it, you can also do daily dojo twice I believe, which when doing hard mode (not ranked, that's too hard for me. Hard mode is easy though), you get enough emblems for ~1.5 yellow belts, and each belt gives you 100 charm. If you're really really hunting charm though, you can do normal Monster Park. The monsters inside sometimes drop consumable items that give different trait stats including charm, and drop the monster park coins that can eventually be traded for a moustache, which gives 100 charm. Getting fame also gives charm (1 fame=1 charm, so it'd take thousands and thousands to get level 30, but yknow)

For an android heart, mostly look out for events as they give out permanent androids and hearts pretty often. I remember not long ago with the zombie outbreak event, you could get an android and a permanent heart with quite a lot of slots. Scrolling android hearts can be done with any scroll for any item. Spell Tracing isn't very good since I believe 70%s only give like 2 attack. Therefore, the best way to scroll a heart is with weapon scrolls. Right now, in the anniversary shop, there's weapon scrolls that have like +5 attack, then primes with +10.

[quote=xDOutcast]Tyrants come much much later on. I'd recommend taking advantage of the anniversary event, and going for epic potential scrolls (and like everything else for use/selling, but this will help a lot first). You can get 3, so that's weapon, subweapon, and emblem. Use reward points cubes and cubes from boss drops to get at least one good line on each of them, don't focus everything into them and forget everything else. Boss accessories are fine for now, since decent sweeH20 ones will be a bit expensive. For cape/shoes, I'd try to see if you can find anyone to carry you through hard magnus just to get nova things, since anyone that can kill hard magnus won't want them anyways. Also perhaps see if you can find someone nice enough to hellux carry you, since the coins are shared and they an still get any pendants/belts that drop. Use your coins to buy all the accessories in the shop (all 4 rings and all 4 earrings) for a decent cash boost, or you can keep the rings if you plan to self-make them. After that, get a new reinforced belt/pendant (pretty cheap, or if someones nice enough to let you loot them if they only want superior) to scroll with the coins you'll be getting from hellux since gollux scrolls are much better than traces. For gloves you can either get High Quality Dimension gloves, or maybe some of the RA 100% tier up ones and use 4 cubes to get legendary, and a few more for decent %int.
After all that, you should still have pretty close to the 2b you have now, along with an extra ~2bil from selling the gollux stuffs. 4b is decent to start merching with, and work from there.[/quote]

This all sounds good! Why shouldn't I get a tyrant cape though? I failed all three epic pot scrolls. I can try and find someone to carry me through but that will take a while... The gloves are all ATK and not MATT which is annoying, I'll buy some when I can find them. What are the RA gloves you speak of?

I don't have an emblem, which one should I get? I don't have a pocket slot yet... What about an android heart? :o

Thank you so much!

Do not get a tyrant.

Work on getting a better weapon (especially with Spell Trace Fever), better sub weapon if you can, and better rings.
