[quote=ImReaperrr]It's really sad how people use their actual money to buy NX, to buy currency in a game. Wow.[/quote]

Does that make it sad to go to a movie? Or go bowling with your friends?
I don't see any problem with it as long as you can afford it.

When you raise up a link skill character to 120, you will also have an S rank character card and a level 2 link skill. That way if you get 9 or more link skills, you will have a full 3 character card sets S rank.
Order of importance for link skills: Mercedes(for leveling all of your link skill characters)>Demon Avenger=Kanna>Xenon>Demon Slayer>Phantom>Beast Tamer>Hayato(only lv1 link)>Cannoneer>Angelic Buster>Luminous>Jett(random stats>Kaiser>Mihile(only useful if you need stance most warriors dont>Cygnus(status resistance isnt that good.

[quote=cris1000]It takes a while though, I came back around 1 year ago. Link skills are so important as well! My range drops 40k without them. The most important ones are kanna and demon avenger (10% dmg EACH at lvl 120), xenon (10% all stats at 120), demon slayer (15% boss damage) and phantom (15% crit at 120 if you dont have max crit). beast tamers gives gives 7% boss, 7% crit at level 120. They do take a while to raise up to 120, but its well worth it for your damage to increase by 25%, and you get a bunch of S rank character cards from this.
A full S rank character card set gives a decent hp/mp, att boost and boss dmg. With character cards and link skills alone, You can get 30% boss damage.(37 with beast tamer)[/quote]

He came out of no where and bought it. He wrote in my shop that he resold it for 1b more, which I don't believe but w/e.

100k range = not sucking.

It honestly doenst take much, you have to get caught up and participate in events to make profit. I only spent 2-3b and have 1.6b in storage and a 170-190k range. I did buy 30k nx, (16k left) but I only used it on the 3 sengoku totems, and 1 permit, everything else was from maple pts and surveys. I suggest buying a clean weapon and scrolling it, so far Ive amassed a bunch of clean slates and a few safety scrolls from hot times and coin shops, and have been able to perfect 2 weapons, a heart, and a gollux ring.

For the most part, no matter how many mesos you have, you'll probably always "suck" in comparison to the next most funded person. There's just some people with soooo much.

Mesos... Buy NX, pretty much. If you're diligent, you can play by Hot Time events, and events like the Red coin event.

Depends on the NX rates.

buy nx now! to be honest you dont need anything to not suck, it's only what the views are of certain players.
