I didn't mean those. I meant the obviously hacked VSS and racc masks.

[quote=Ghetto415]Well I don't like using hacked/duped equips. I was just wondering if the complete set bonus would be better than having a 15%luk shoe?[/quote]

I think a 6% LUK Empress shoe would benefit your range more than the 15% LUK shoes. 30 attack is equal to probably 10% LUK?

Well the shoes are around 250mil in Bera. I don't know what attack I can get with 1bil.

i thot all empress shoes were like 30m?

@RisingRain: what the heck, instructors? can u explain bit more

I chaosed my raven boots to 10 att to replace my 38 att vss with 6% luk.

Alright so I'll get the shoes, but what atk shoes can I get with 1bil in Bera?

Don't forget that with the ravenhorn shoes you also get 30% bossing, which, even if it lowered your range, if you bossed it'd be totally worth it. Also if you get like 6-9att and at least 6% LUK on the ravenhorn shoes (and you can easily get 9% luk) it'd definitely raise your range.

[quote=Ghetto415]I'm dexless. Do they still have epic pot scrolls? I haven't seen them for sale for a while.[/quote]

they are untradeable now.

ok, lets see, i had 27att vss with 12% all stats (and 1%luk neb) and i changed it with empress shoes with 1 att and 6% and it was much better, so to answer your question= i think even shoes with 3%lu+ are good, as long as you have like 1att on shoes

Full set Empress (meaning complete set w/ weapon) > All
Why?
It looks better than most clothing, the 30% boss set bonus is amazing, and can be cubed for % so no worries.
Oh, you have nx to cover the empress?
Either way, the set bonus + ability to have % on them > just %.
You have duped vss/other items?
Get out of here. <3

[quote=RisingRain]Because everyone can scrounge up 2b-3b for the whole set right? If that was true, there wouldn't be any poor people in MapleStory. The set itself is pointless without the weapon/cape anyway.[/quote]

Not everyone goes for the whole set right away. I still only have 3 of the set(gloves, shoes, cape) and it works fine for me. I've seen individual pieces sold daily, some shops sell out quite often too. Especially if a lot of people try to chaos scroll them, have to buy another one if you erase the attack on it. They have so many, but not because no one buys them, but because they are always killing empress' knights for the armor.

[quote=AyooCarlous]Oh okay so you should have a large amount of luk but not max so the weapon attack should beat it. They made them untradeable so the only way is getting the miracle pieces yourself </3[/quote]

Ohh I see... also do you know what attack shoes I can get with 1bil?

[quote=AyooCarlous]Depends on your base luk but I believe it will beat it! With 3% luk I'm certain it will beat it. But maybe you can use an epic pot scroll to pot it and get like 6% luk? [/quote]
I'm dexless. Do they still have epic pot scrolls? I haven't seen them for sale for a while.

[quote=AyooCarlous]Oh right forget to account for base stat. I'm a Bow Master so I have 999 dex. My earrings are 15% dex but my 20 att earring do make me weaker.[/quote]
Oh I see. But 30 atk would beat it? Even if it didn't I'm assuminh even a 3% luk ravenhorn shoes would beat it?

[quote=YouAzle]@RisingRain: what do u mean farmed? how did ppl farm them. I seen lots of the 50m ones sold in FM though. I bought a hate for fun too...what a waste of 50m meh[/quote]

Equips are from instructors, which can be legitly farmed.
Weapons are from Musical Boxes, that Marvel Spin, (mostly) hacked Empress runs, and dupes.

[quote=clothboy]This guy has no idea what he's talking about. Everyone buys empress stuff.[/quote]

[quote=YouAzle]off topic, but how the hell do some shops in FM have 20+ empress items CONSTANTLY?[/quote]

If they're clean, obviously old farmed Empress items that no one buys, because let's face it, even at 50-100m each, a very large proportion of the population can't afford it.
If they're godly, obviously duped items (no, not all duped items were wiped, not even close to all of the Empress).

[quote=AyooCarlous]Well my 15% earrings would just barely give me a higher range than my 20 att earrings. So I believe the extra 30 att would out damage the 15% luk. And eventually you would cube the shoes so I say complete the set [/quote]

At what level is this? Also, are you dexless?

off topic, but how the hell do some shops in FM have 20+ empress items CONSTANTLY?

[quote=snowboy8]I switched my 7% dex shoes and 7% dex cape for an empress cape and shoes and my range when down 3k. When i equipped the weapon though my range went up 11k[/quote]
I was just wondering if completing the set bonus would better than 15% luk. But seems like its not. So what %luk would I need to get on my shoes to be better than 15% shoee?

If I was to sell my 15%luk shoes and get a bil, what attack Ravenhorn shoes can I get?

Buy some decently scrolled shoes and then cube them later once you can afford to. Having attack and % luk is better than just % luk and having the full set will make your damage on bosses higher if all you're losing is the 15% luk.

Complete the set, then cube the shoes.

[quote=naniwa]of course you can complete the set by buying raven horn shoes and cubing them to 15% luk. i personally prefer using the whole empress set, even though its more expensive and lowers my range significantly (im only at 220k, but with the same funding i would probably have 275-300k had i gone for duped VSS, BFC, etc. instead.)[/quote]
Well I don't like using hacked/duped equips. I was just wondering if the complete set bonus would be better than having a 15%luk shoe?

trade the 15% for a 12% emp shoe

[quote=Curvy]get boots compare damage too old boots?[/quote]

I don't have enough money to buy the shoes. I would have to sell my 15%luk shoes to buy the Ravenhorn Shoes.
