25 bill is alot on a claw. its a fafnir right? whats the stats

The way you are trying to fund is just like how I did it. If you're only aiming for the 500k, you never should have bought that claw. I myself got an amazing claw and charm with no potential on my armour and accessories. This ended up with me only having around 300k range with around 40b spent (finished sup gollux set with no pot). The way you're funding is definitely looking at the end game. If you aim for the end game, it's better to blow a bunch of money on end game equips than to buy decent equips and then try to resell those to get better ones. Reselling is definitely really hard and can end up being money lost. Listen to the other people, get like 6% luck (definitely doable as it would be only 1 line for an epic potential equip), a good charm (%att preferably since %boss and %pdr would not be too helpful at a 500k range and you would not see the effects in your range), and get % att on your claw. Note %total damage is good only on normal mobs, since %TD = %boss at bosses. Therefore 30% boss on one line > 12% total damage. This is getting lengthy and nowhere, so I will just stop here. Message me if you have any problems. SOURCE: I recently finished getting my NW to 2-2 xD

got a 700k range now and spent less than 10b on this char

@globe: This is solely my perspective as an unfunded player. But throwing all of your money into 1 equip, 2 at the most, is a bad way to up your range. It takes all of your money and you still don't have enough of your equips to be self sufficient in bossing. Its much better to spread the money out on different equips so that you can get a high enough range to boss well with, enough to duo cRA and hard magnus/empress, so that you can then fund yourself enough to cube the rest of your gear/replace it and give it to a mule. From an unfunded perspective, this is not only easier, but it makes more sense

You probably would have done better if you bought a 8b claw (+8 with 15%, no hammers used, no pot), did quest for emblem + badge, free stuff, did rlh for the pocket item and then some cheap totems, got full cra set, and 5 star tyrant boot + cape. Buy superior gollux set and slowly scroll it. Save with coins to get the rings. It'll take a few months to finish gollux but that'll be 500k range right there.

3 month plan to get to 500k
Buy a 10b-15b claw, 5-10b secondary, price depending on the claw. This leaves 20b for everything else, which is more than sufficient.
Ask for hell gollux carries daily (20 days to scroll pendant + belt, 20 more days to scroll earrings + ring, and then 10 days to scroll the reinforced ring).
Buy superior belt from FM, look for cheap deals to buy superior pendant, ring, and earrings from fm (or add another month to finish).
Buy 5 star tyrant cape and shoes. They're now cheap, at least in Bera. They're easily affordable with a 40b budget, since you're getting gollux mostly free, except maybe the belt. If you're really going for 3 month plan, you can go loot hmag coins for a full 3 months for a free shoe.
Buy clean cra armor. This is very cheap. < 400m for everything total. 70% spell trace it.
Epic pot all items and use free boss cubes to go for 6+% stat. This is pretty easily done in 3 months, which was the goal point from earlier. Get a big spider familiar and use it in your boss runs daily. Epic pots are too expensive now, go for epic pot service if you can from trusted members of alliance/guild. I'd say you can do all of it under 1.5b.
Use star planet to 12 star each non-tyrant item after you're done. This will be a huge range increase just from this.
During the 3 months do your link skills. 120 kanna, xenon, and demon avenger. You can try hayato, cannoneer, beast tamer, phantom as well.
Do your character cards. Total: 9 100+ characters.
Doing dailies shouldn't take long if you're doing 2 coin run and then 1 hellux carry, and daily ht, czak, easy magnus, etc.
Remember all those reward points you saved up throughout? Spend them on protection scrolls and get your tyrants to 7 stars.

If you don't want to stop at 500k and go for as much range as you can, you should still start with this. When you hit a certain range you can start moving onto better bosses and better options. Plus you get more respect in the game (interestingly enough) as your damage gets higher. People will befriend you easier and as much as people don't make the game out to be a team game, helping each other out makes everyone's lives easier. You can loot cra for someone and they might help you out, for example.

edit:
doing the full thing above will get you to 500k range clean, if you're over 200.

@globe: I disagree. You don't need a claw worth that much until you are shooting for 1.4mil range and up. Before then you are just better off spreading your funding out. He would have been far better off getting a full set of gear, with 6-12%luk on everything along with a perfectly scrolled claw and a pretty decent charm.

Link Skillz?

@globe: Doesn't matter. You don't spend that much on one equip if you can't afford to get all of your gear. That is just a bad way to fund a character

@lilkoby what's the best way to use 10-20b to get to a 500k range? all i can think of is (near)perf faf with CRA set, secondary, emblem, a few accessories here and there, and then begin cubing... what am i missing?

I've spent at most 50b on my character and I've got a 1.2m range, buffed.

I think it's just down to luck, seeing how I got lucky with potential rank ups from using the free rewards points cubes. Spent no more than 5b perfecting my claw with spell traces, cause I'm cheap.

If your end goal is just a 500k range, you shouldn't have bought that claw. around 10-20b should net you that range if you spread out your funding.

Sounds like you're buying 2m-2m items not 500k range items. 500k Range can be achieve with very little now.

Look up tyrant/gollux/ra set items in the fm and see how much your range increases. You also want a legendary secondary with % atk. Just dont be dumb and spend 30b on a clean lgr.

You're doing it wrong. I can hit 480k buffed with less than 7bil put into my character.
