What is a good time to solo Zak? Right now, I'm at level 155 with an Estaff 3. Range without Body Boost is 13830~18440, with Body Boost is 18467~24623. (using Wizard Elixirs because I can't justify getting apples and I haven't been able to get Energizers of late) ADA, Finishing Blow, Energize is maxed, Twister Spin is at 25, Power Stance is at 10, and I have 1 in Dark Genesis and Party Shield. Do you think I could solo Zakum in a reasonable amount of time, or is there something I should wait for?

Starting to upgrade gear again, where should I start? I was wondering how I should upgrade my gear. This is what I have, and I have about 200m in available funds, although I can get more with time. Some personal notes: I am relatively content with the Pyogo, so I probably will not upgrade that until I have the level (and hopefully the funds) for a level 160 elestaff. I eventually want to upgrade to a timeless or VIP shield, but obviously those are out of my range as well. The Myst Blue will probably be replaced soon, as Reverse equipment was always my goal but this particular item did not turn out well. Everything else is more or less vulnerable. So, ideas?
