That really depends on your funds. If you can afford the 140 set it's worth it. If not, a top and bottom could work for now and probably won't be too expensive. I wouldn't recommend keeping it forever but I guess it can hold you over while you build funds for upgrading. If money is an issue books might end up being a bigger concern than item upgrades.[/quote]

Atm i have 900mil and im getting alot more soon so i have the skill book money

[quote=soulfist]@Ecoutie:

Well it sure makes it a lot harder. And the two "example suggestions" that you made are both pretty impractical. The idea is to AVOID dying and buying booster potions everytime you want to boss is a waste. Anyway, for those people who don't agree with "glitching skills", that's irrelevant, first of all, we aren't the ones "glitching" anything, the glitch is already there due to nexon's mistake that they refuse to fix, that has nothing to do with us; not to mention the fact we don't glitch to get the skill working, we just go into pvp and then leave, totally legitimate behavior that we have every right to use, it would require a simple conditional statement to be added to the skill conversion done before entering pvp's code but nexon is either oblivious or too lazy to fix it or they simply don't care. Goody two shoes morons like that make me sick. Anyway no sane person can dish out the nx required to cube all the things they need unless they have some pull with nexon or the companies that validate surveys for nexon (I stand by this statement). If it's a matter of affording the service and finding a trusting person, I can understand, so you do have some argument, but my point still stands. I [b]personally[/b], as I already stated feel it's necessary.[/quote]

Idk why you're being so defensive. I understand that you personally feel it is necessary. I make my own HP boost pots and it's not that expensive. I wasn't telling OP not to get HB. I was just saying don't give up if you don't have it yet. If I refused to boss b/c I didn't have HB I would have missed out on a lot of fun. My Mercedes is 200. I hope to get decent HB sometime in the future but not having it hasn't stopped me from bossing. I don't always die or have to rely on wheels so it doesn't get to be too expensive or something... Well w/e.

I have one more question but it doesnt apply to the exact topic of this thread, should i try and get my self a 4%dex lvl 40 top/bottom or get myself an overall?

I do empress without HB, the high enough avoid plus recovery skills help a lot.

[quote=Ecoutie]I find it hard to believe you spend much time at PB considering neither of the characters you mentioned meet the level requirements... and that's where it would have the most use. TS asked if you HAVE to have decent HB and the answer is no. That isn't to say the skill isn't helpful for surviving... obviously it is! But there are other alternatives such as cs wheels or HP boost potions. It's harder to come by HB for female characters and some people don't agree with glitching skills... And maybe some people aren't able to dish out the NX to cube for the skill on their own. Blah sorry to rant. I just think implying the skill is a necessity for bossing can be misleading. If you have access to it, by all means get it. If not, it won't be the end of your bossing career![/quote]

Thanks

[quote=soulfist]I personally feel it's necessary as I have it, after getting it on my DB, I felt it's essential for all my mains before they boss (unless they're a warrior which is never the case ^^)[/quote]

Ok, thanks

No, Mercedes do not HAVE to have HB in order to fight the bosses: HT, PB, & C-Zak.
