@x3Ren The formulas didn't change, however it is very incorrect to say a certain amount of luk = W.Atk

It's your total amount of luk rounded down by your W.Atk = 1 W.Atk

So if you had 1000 Luk and 200 W.Atk
5 luk = 1 W.Atk for that player

However if a player had 3000 luk and 200 W.Atk
15 luk = 1 W.Atk.

So it just depends on the funding and stats the player has.

[quote=x3Ren]Well before it was more as you level up, taking more luk to equal attack but right now, it might have changed. Dunno. x] That's why weapon attack is so awesome.[/quote]

lul so is % w.att or % luk better?

[quote=solbluefire]@naruto5ds: huh?

@x3Ren: oh okay. thanks. would it be more when you're higher level or is it still consistent?

@RoyalAgate: I think they're only 120-160M in Broa.
If I do that, what should I buy with that amount of money?
Also, how much would MY current wg cost?
I think 10 atk wgs in MTS are more than 10.1k NX thought =/[/quote]

[quote=solbluefire]Mmk. What do you suggest I get now with my current funds? or save them?
Btw do you know how much luk = atk?[/quote]

If they didn't change the formula after big bang, 4-6 luk equals 1 attack I think. :]

[quote=x3Ren]Well increasing your base dex to 80 or 90 won't hurt. You can always make it up with luk% items since they're the one thing that truly gives you more damage later in the game. Weapons also make a difference too.[/quote]

@x3Ren: Oh I see thank you very much =P
What do you suggest I do for more dex to use future top and bottom... I know I won't have enough dex for level 80 gear .. or barely as of now.

@stanley22: You have 122 base dex or dex including equips?
Your equips aren't much different than mine... just higher level.
I have 76 BASE dex and 112 WITH equips so that should be the same as your looking at your equips.
I'm pretty much going to cap dex here... highest I'll go is 80.
I can almost use my 93 att clean fan.. which is better than your DT if I scrolled it.
Yah I'm planning to go Top/bottom instead of overall for sure.
I know I definitely need an upgrade for my katara though.

well, i think u have way too high dex, i mean i m lv 82 and i have 122 dex, while ur equips already give u more dex than u need to use 120 equips. I'd suggest getting a kandine with 80+ att since avg 100% is like 84 att or so, and the lv 70 katara with 55+. U also need a top/bottom since they would boost ur dmg more than an overall, but that's up to u since u can skip the dex for the bottoms. I would also work on ur top, and bottom and cape. Once u r like lv 100, use the 2% luk earrings. If u need a comparison, i'll give u a list of my equips

15/16/15/17 targa
1/1/1/1 blue mask
6 dex earrings
5/5/5/5 dep star with 2% avoid o.o
10 luk top clean
5 dex bottom clean
7/1/1/1 white belt (scrolled with 70% str for accessory pretty hot xD)
95 att DT
61 att katara
8 att wg
1/7 luk pac with a potential of 3 to all stats
6 luk shoes
4 zrings
veteran medal
and lv 5 blessing o.o

And my range is 2xxx~3925 i think =P

[quote=solbluefire]@Dissonance: Lul I am. It's the level 35 thief pants because I didn't want to buy NX pants to complete my outfit before. It's scrolled with a 10% bottomwear HP.

@x3Ren: What level do you suggest? It's hard to not want to upgrade when people try to KS the crap out of you at TJs... it's even worse at Truckers. Would it be wise to invest in a dex overall or no?[/quote]

Not wise because we have to take advantage of our top and bottom. That's 6 lines worth of potentials that we can use to our advantage. :] And around 90 - 100 is where you should upgrade, although most suggest at 4th job since everything comes pouring in.

Uhm, I didn't start upgrading till later higher level because the best potential for upgrades were 80 +
Try focusing on leveling first then upgrade. Your main priority will be wearing as much luk % as you can without hindering what your weapon is at a higher level. Since you're using dex equips to wear your dagger/katara.
