Empress set debate

Hey fellow Pirates

Recently, I've made a thread about how low my range was conmpared to my equips quality. As I mentionned. I'M using regualr equips such as VSS, Pirate overall, and such. For a total of a 162atk VIP, 113% DEX, and a 22-26k clean range at level 143.

I calculated the amount of mesos I could get is ~12b and 100k NX (Birthday gift)

Should I switch over to a full empress set that I will self cube?
I can have my hand on an Empress 187atk 55%boss 18%pdr gun too.

My question is : Should I switch to the complete empress set for the attack and slowly cube everything or the damage difference is no worth the pain?
Thanks

My decision is to slowly upgrade. I might get ATK VSS, make my own 32atk gloves and an attack BFC. If i have money left, i can get a 30atk rack mask

I can possibly get ~80atk so I'll be fine Thanks guys!

I wouldnt change immediatly to empress I. Since you're getting approx 17 bil ( including the 100k) just save and snag good empress deals
with that you could probably get a nice full set such as 15~21% with decent atk in it which will help alot. In my opinion cubing is just
too risky even with that amount ( i would reccomend cubing only if the equip stats are super good and the weapon is already in unique form or if you have an unlimited supply of nx if not then do not)

Oh that much? So the price of it is not worth the switch?

@letherduckfly He means that rather than having a full empress set, you'd be lacking an overall, but you'd have 2 seperate, pottable, scrollable, neb-able equips in return. You could probably get ~30%ish dex from level 80+ stirgeman pants, and 14%ish dex from level 0-30 top (unless you manage to get your hands on a nearly extinct Android Vest). If you manage to pass a 60% armor for attack scroll, you could also try to get +20att on both equips via chaosing afterward, making up for the set effect weapon attack. Finally, you can nebulite both equips for pdr (% to boss, if they have a neb for that, I haven't checked in a while) to make up for the other second set effect.

In terms of damage, it would be a definite step up from wearing the empress overall, but at a literal price of 4x, if not more, the funding.

Yeah thats the case. I have 162 from Weapon, 14 from KoC buff and 14 from gloves... Thats why I wanna switch to empress set. And no, my corsair is my endgame main. Slowly training him

Stay with the transferable equips if you get bored easily. I went with the generic transferable equips like the lvl 90 stirgies, bfc and vss. Thank god i did this because it's so easy to transfer equips from my mech>jett>sair>merc. I dont know how you have such a low range with that much % dex. Maybe your overall attack is low?

Its because I seem to lack to attack. So should I switch?

@SAIRS What do you mean?
