Alien Gear Set Vs Gollux Set

I'm stuck to which I should focus farming on. Some pre-info; I don't have any of the gear yet, I do not have a second pendant slot, and from what I've heard lv150 gear does not drop from any other modes except Hell and I can't solo that ofc. If anyone can clear me on what mode drops what, that would be nice.

But from what I know it doesn't seem like I have a chance at Superior 4-set. However, the attack and slots on both the ring and earring; which are buyable, are tempting.

If I get the Alien set: Ring, Earring, Pendant, Belt, I have the 4-set which I can later on cube and use for the great set effects.

Or what combination of the two would be better?

@Rianael, nope that works best in my opinion. You could always substitute Alien temporarily while you get Gollux stuff

Alien hat, ring and pendant. + reinforced ring/earring/pendant/belt + superior gollux ring. (you need 2 pendant slots and using the alien hat disrupts ur empress/ra set)

I'll definitely aim for the Superior ring + Reinforced Ring and set. But, to make sure. Is there any type of combination between Alien and Gollux set(within my demands) that beats Superior ring + Reinforced Ring + the rest of the Reinforced 3-set?

Abdomen and shoulders don't drop green coins anymore
Get ready for rapid inflation
The set under superior isn't bad and like above have stated not that hard

So I basically farmed up a Superior Gollux Ring.

Should I sell it off and use the money to fund a Reinforced set?

[quote=ox0Shad0w0xo]@wowcradle2: Well it depends on the demand. They already had a limited supply with only 1 each per character, but now the coins will take forever to get, so it's possible to go up further. Maybe not by much compared to the spike that already happened though.[/quote]

Yeah definitely possible, but it shouldn't hurt too much to wait; a lot of people had already go theirs and there's always the possibility of nexon making the coins drop again

[quote=Ness]Why not the superior set?[/quote]

Superior set is unrealistic to get, considering both items from the shop are about 310 coins so if you don't have one yet
you would have to farm it or buy it for what 2~4 bil. While the belt and pendant are upwards of 5 bil and can only be obtained
from hell mode gollux which again isnt that great of a drop rate or expensive. I heard somewhere that the only difference between
reinforced and superior is 29 att and like 5% boss damage which sounds about right not including stats. So reinforced is a lot more
sensible to obtain since hard isn't painfully hard.

@Ness
The TC said he can't solo/duo hell mode gollux. Plus, Superior Gollux equips are expensive as hell, even the ring and earrings are expensive now.
Even though Reinforced gollux equips are cheaper and weaker than superior gollux equips, they are better than alien fragment equips.

You can get both lv140/150 Gollux Rings alongside your Alien set, but I'd scroll them first!

[quote=ox0Shad0w0xo]If you want the Gollux ring and earring, I'd get them soon because the price is going to go up with the coins being hard to get now. Otherwise the Alien Set is definitely more affordable since you can just farm the pq until it drops the piece(s) you need.[/quote]

They've already gone up and I don't think they will go up any further though

[quote=AnthonysWill]Aim for the lv 140 Gollux set. Very possible to acquire as extremely funded individuals can solo hard mode gollux daily and sell them.
The alien fragment set sucks compared to the gollux set.
The gollux ring has decent stats, scroll slots, can be potentialed AND PSoked. The alien fragment ring has no slots and crappy stats.[/quote]

Why not the superior set?
