Mercedes

Wait or Recreate?

{Edit: Title should have been 41 str: Wait or Recreate, the current title might be a bit confusing}

Dear Basillers.

Lately I have been thinking about leveling my Mercedes a little bit.
I've been keeping an eye on the prices of fafnir gear in the FM for quite a while now, and I've noticed that Bowman/Mercedes gear is super cheap.
My Marksman has been my main for a while, so I also have some gear I can transfer.
I've created my Mercedes for the link skill, and somehow got it to level 131.
However, my Mercedes was created a long time ago, and still has Str as a secondary stat, it has 41 Str so I'm missing out on 37 Dex.
I can probably get to about 40/50% Dex so all in all I would be missing about 50/55ish Dex.
My Mercedes Also has Unique tier Inner potential and a lot of honor Exp, so I have a pretty decent chance of getting a good Inner potential.

Now here's the question:

Should I stick with my current level 131 Mercedes or make a new one?
Cons if is stick with this one:
-I would have to wait until the next event with a coin shop to reset my SP, but those scrolls are usually pretty expensive and I could possibly get a lot of better items for my coins.
-The next event with a coin shop might not be coming any time soon.

Cons if I make a new one:
-Lose out on 131 levels.
-Lose my inner potential.
-I'll be missing my link skill for a few days (I would delete my current Mercedes)
-Not leveling my new Mercedes would not be an option because I need the link skill, so I'll have to stick with it even if I don't like it.

Even if you delete it, there's a 24 hour wait.
In that time period, the link skills and character card still works.
I would recommend that you stick with this one since it is already Lv.131 because 1st and 2nd job are really boring.
Just don't make a new one

More feels plis.

In this day of age, there needs to be clear benefits of not being lazy. Unfortunately, that's just "fun" and not getting bored.

my suggestion is that if you want a character to play in your bored times of marksman then play a pirate or the new wild hunter.

Pirates are considerably as cheap as bowman cra. the new mech might be fun. guns in khaini are like 50m, while a bow is like 150m so i dont know what you consider expensive.
Shades (definitely a good bosser, has binds, back step, flash jumps, split, extremely good mobility, knuckles are decently priced.)
Mech(revamped so its pretty cool, dont know too much, but everyone said it was amazing)
canoneer(i enjoyed this class, seems pretty funny, tons of lines, upward jump into flash jump into upward jump for extreme distance travels)
Xenon(benefits from starforce the most, great mobility, tons of skills, cheap weapon)

New wild hunter( playing off jag has tons of dps you can mash on your jaguar skills or something to get more dmg, definitely takes more skill, is a bowman class and is pretty cheap)

[quote=trancem5]my question is, do you even like playing mercedes? I got mine to level 210, i even xfered my bowmaster's gear to it to get like 700k range. Training on it from 200-210 still felt extremely awful. If you enjoy Mercedes playstyle then i suggest you remake so you would have no regrets. and 0-120 is really easy now. even at 120-130 you can do do zak runs on like a 2x event and already be 132.[/quote]

Hmm now you mention that, I might reconsider.
What I really want is a character for when I'm bored playing my usual main character.
In this case I immediately thought about my Mercedes because a full CRA set for a Mercedes is hands down the cheapest CRA set out there.
A full CRA set gives a good enough range boost for pretty much every class to boss decently,(only talking about Zakum/Horntail/Krexel ect, the usual bosses just for Exp)
But I'm not willing to buy a full set for say a mule warrior, Might be chumpchange for some but spending 200m+ on gear for a mule is not possible on my budget </3
I might think about making a Wind Archer, bowsguns are significantly cheaper, but I won't need a bow ASAP so I can easily wait until I find one for a bargain.
I'll think it over, train my Mercedes a little, see If I really like it.
