Bowmaster

What should I put my Str at with Ap reset?

I'm a level 132 Bowmaster, currently I have 85 base STR, and 184 with gear. Where do you guys think I should cap it with reset? I was thinking 50 or maybe 40? I don't want to be stuck wearing STR gear anymore than I have to be though, and AFAIK, DEX % would be better with a higher base STR overall, but 85 is too much.

I appreciate any help, and for reference:, these are the STR on my equips and since they might change in the future, please take that into account with your opinion:

Hat: +5 STR
Codex: +6 STR and +1% all stats
Medal: +3 STR
Armor: +10 STR
Cape: +5 STR
Glove: +8 STR
Pendant: +14 STR
Bow: +2 STR
Shoulder: +5 STR
Shoes: +3 STR
Belt: +2 STR
Set Bonus: +5 STR

Keep it at base 4 Str. Since you're unfunded I suggest using your Nisrock and forget about an Engaw. An Engaw is not worth the investment as it has no resale value and you need every meso you can get. Aim toward getting a 13x-14x Att Nisrock. As you continue to make money, you can eventually upgrade to a 14x-15x Unique Nisrock/Dragon Shiner.
I'm also a loner with no guild which is why I just came back from a pretty long break from Maple.

Cool, thanks for the extra input. As for the extra info... my set bonus is the Minerva set. Gloves + Shoes is +4 atk, +4 m.atk and +5 all stats bonus. The base stats on the items and potential not included.

I'm going to work on the Scarga quests soon, but I don't have any many friends and no guild (kind of a loner) so a listing will have to do.
Cannon Shooter is 38 so far, working on that. ^_^
Forgot about the legend ring, good call.
I may or may not do the maple leaf so I can work on the coin-bought Legend Ring sooner and because I try to keep a spiegel 'stache most of the time.
I do indeed get +30 STR/DEX from a skill.

Seems like getting enough for Engaw isn't too bad, might have to amp it up in the future for the bigger weapons though. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks for the advice, it's good, but sadly I really can't afford most of it just now. I have about 200m now due to some lucky sales lately(like a cannon for 75m), but every single bit of that I'm going to have to use on mastery books or I'll never be able to get them at all. I guess I should have mentioned I'm not too rich beforehand.

As for the advice I might can do though, I'm wearing Silent Crusade rings that each give 2 atk, is it worth losing that for the STR rings? I don't know the numbers.
