General

I've got a set of S cards for the HP, but a lot of my character slots are explorers so I don't have much space for link skills. Ditching the Czak is something I should probably do after I get a new claw

You can find 9% tempest shoulder in bera ~150m or less.
youneedtogetmoreattkbro... Character cards help quite a lot...esp @ HP where NLs need them.
Attk hearts, 6 emp set effect (you should ditch your zak helm and get 6% or more emp hat + clean emp weapon ~120m, it'll help your range even w/o the weapon scrolled), ghost ship exorcist badge if possible, pet effect, & try to aim for mystic sets or alien fragment to help w/ attk.
pretty much anything chaos-ed with base attack helps ofc.

btw, anything less than a 9%luk pendant lowers my range. Could I actually get a 9%luk shoulder for 600m?

I might just buy clean empress for my Shad lol

get rid of your evo rings for %luk tempest/pinnicle/unleashed rings
I envy your %luk so much...

I would try to get the Ghost ship badge and a Pocket item, they don't cost that much and should help increase your range a bit.

are these gloves so unbelievable? The pot isnt even that good

Yeah I probably should have gotten a new claw instead, but I was literally not wearing a glove for like 3 months

I'm suprised you got a 32 att glove before a better claw. The legitimacy of the gloves are questionable, could be scrolled from duped scrolls.

Probably, I bought them a while ago. I just cubed them again, they ended up 6%luk+decent SE+9%dex and I'm afraid to cube any more

Why do you ask?

The major thing you should do. [b]MERCH[/b]
With that money from merching, buy some of these:

Invest in a 6-12% luk tempest pendant.
Get an absolute ring and trash the EVO ring 2.
Try to upgrade your tempest ring.
Try to get a 9+% unleashed/pinnacle ring instead of your evo ring 3
Get a 9% luk shoulder.
Buy a terminus or 150 claw (Since you have emp you should probably get terminus) and scroll it with 50% red scrolls

[b]DONT[/b] buy MW books. In about 5 months when red comes you can buy mw20 for 7m and mw30 for 15m from an npc

I have a Xenon made, I'll level it up

[quote=lra313]Which link skills should I prioritize, assuming I can make the characters?[/quote]

Currently, Link Skill characters you can make are Cygnus Knights (Which you'd wanna get up for the Empress' Blessing if you don't have already), Mihile (Doesn't benefit range), Cannoneer (Kinda nice I guess. +15 all stats..), and Jett (Depends on what you can freeze the stats at.).

Link characters you'd want would be along the lines of-
[b]Demon Avenger and Kanna[/b] (5% damage at level 70, 10% at 120, 15% at 210) - Their character cards also give boss damage
[b]Xenon[/b] (All stats 5% / 10% / 15%)

Possibly these, too-
[i]Phantom[/i] (crit + 10% / 15%)
[i]Demon Slayer[/i] (Boss damage + 10% / 15%)

And just 'cuz they're lonely without being named-
Hayato - attack +5, all stats +10
Kaiser - HP +10% / 15%
Angelic Buster - total damage +30% for 5 seconds (It's fun to see how high you can hit)

Which link skills should I prioritize, assuming I can make the characters?

You need Link Skills...all you need are the slots for the characters. I have almost all of them and my range is roughly 60k with way worse equips than yours. Trust me the skills are worth it.

OT: I would just merch with the 600m and try to get a Terminous or Fafnir Claw.

@Zektim Gotham doesn't need anyone else beside Bruce Wayne.

I actually came in here expecting not to say "invest in merching" but seeing as your gear is pretty good your first priority should definitely be a weapon upgrade which is more than 600m so try to merch. And 6% luk tempest shoulder/pendant could replace the current MoN and shoulder you use.

Give it away to Gotham

I'm sure you could find a 9% luk tempest shoulder to replace your current one. It would help your range and put you at 100% luk exactly, if not a 6% one would be even easier and cheaper

Absolute Ring or get a %LUK Pendant.

It might not make a significant difference, but try going on a cwk run and getting an average or above average Mark of Naricain because yours is 2 att below average. Also, just wait until RED to get mw books.

Sell your evos and buy 15%+ luk rings, also you can buy 15%+ luk shoulder,hat,and face accessory, the empress set is good so get it.
I have 6 set + all my equips are 15%+(hat and boots don't have pot) and my self buffed range is -115k
Also I have MW 30 and some link skills like cannoneer,merc,DS,xenon,Jett, and ab cuz it's very useful with asura

Since your stuff is decent enough already, instead of spending your lowly 600m on equips (That MIGHT get you a thousand additional range), try investing it into merching to get even better equips (And MW).

No link skills, I should level my xenon for the link. I don't have a DA/Kanna as I was off of maple when you could make them

Your equips are pretty good some better than mine I have around 75% luk and 340 att unbuffed at 178 and still my range is 30k more than yours.
Save your money for a better claw, do you have xenon,da, kanna link skills?
