How to maximize damage output without spending more than 10b

Hello everyone! I'm listing my current gear so if you could please tell me in what order to upgrade? I currently have 87k range and I know most of my stuff have bad pot. The reason being, I don't buy nx to play this game. I do however have accumulated some mesos through time and I'm wondering if I'm better off buying cubing service with it or should I just ditch and resell for better pre-made gear. Looking forward to your answers Basilers! TYSVM

[quote=hnes5213]so, with less than 10b,
- buy 21% luck earring (2.5b)
- buy 12% tempest shoulder (1-2b)
- buy DABR (600m-1b)
- buy 12% tempest ring (1-2b)
- buy 15% belt (2.5-3b)
. .
basically, your empress equipment is scrolled well.
you just need to cube on your empress equipment.
if you can not buy cube, i suggest that change empress set to common set (ex: BFC, VSS, TOP/BOTTOM, CZAK ETC)[/quote]

Thank you everyone for your great ideas! Hi Uranon =} Thanks for including the prices as I've never been good with %stat appraisal haha. I bought a 22% luk earrings for 2.6b and I'll be basing the next few upgrades I'll be doing on your price ranges haha. TYSVM . Btw, I've been told numerous times to ditch my overall for 15% top + bottom + vss. Say if I cube my current empress, which combo would be better? I've been asking around on what stat do I need to have on my empress overall and shoes to surpass a 15% top + bottom + vss combo and no one seems to know.

@ExcessivelyWet: I suppose if you choose to go that path, but, for DB masks, many have gotten it within 11 tickets, whereas some have taken hundreds. It's not that hard to get, tbh, I got mine on my first try lol. But, the pluses about Reverse DB masks are that it can be moved within the account while Mystic Faces can be moved only once, albeit it's for all classes as the mask is for only Thieves, and Reverse DB masks have base attack and can level up to gain more attack making it highly desirable for maximum output. If you choose to go the safe way, I suppose 21%Earrings + Face is the better path lol. Buying some Nx from trusted guildies and friends with some mesos to cube would also help a lot.

[quote=xSooIz]Do you have a pendant?[/quote]
Yes, sorry I forgot to state it . Pendant 1 is 16% luk htp and Pendant 2 is 10% luk green wolf pendant. Thank you for noticing.

[quote=x1mmortality]Get a 15%Luk Ring and Shoulder, 15%Luk Belt, 18%Luk Earrings, DABR, Leafre Codex, 12%Luk HTP, 12%Luk tradeable pendant (cheaper than everything else), try to gach a Reverse DB mask (3rd tier pot and it has potential to have really high attack), 1%neb your equips, cube that claw. You can get all of this for under 10b.[/quote]
I take it it requires a hefty amount of NX to gach for a reverse mask? I don't even have NX to cube my gear, let alone gach for a single item . Besides, aren't reverse masks untradable just like mystic faces? Both are level 100 too. Only difference is the slot upgrades. At least with the mystic face, i can fuse as much as i want for free. I've always believed it is a waste to invest mesos or nx on items that have 0 resell value anyway. Am I not better off investing on 21% luk earrings and fused mystic face? o.o

[quote=lBishopXl]I don't have any Thief classes nor am I good at merching, but a good investment is to change (or sell) your Evo Rings 1 and 2 for a DABR or WABR (if you can afford, which you obviously can XP). You can even change one of these to a Tempest Ring with good Weapon Attack (Maybe 5+) with some LUK%, or buy cubes from someone selling NX and cube the Tempest Ring. Alongside the Tempest Ring, you can get the Tempest Epaulette also with good Weapon Attack and LUK%.

Another cheap (but may be long) way is to get the Crusader Shoulderpiece in the meantime. The stats of these are higher in terms of your Lucky Royal Pauldron if scrolled properly.

Also, what do you have on your Crusader Codex? You may not see your range increase, but getting the Leafre Set (All Skills +1 and 30% PDR) will definitely boost your damage output. If you can't get the Leafre Set or have yet to get it, you can always equip the Dead Mine Set for Atk 2% (Maybe 1%, idk).[/quote]
Great ideas! Thanks for your input. I'm thinking of doing this actually. I have a 9% dex, 10 att bonus pot tempest ring and a 12% dex epaulet i'm looking to trade for %luk with equal stats. If I ever find a trader, my budget would then be 10b to upgrade everything except one ring and shoulder. As for your Mystic gear suggestion, I'm currently working on fusing Mystic faces that I plan to anvil with my rm in the future. With the codex, I am only able to get the mu lung one because I take a break from this game quite a lot (and for long periods of time too) and that prevents me from finding regular bossing friends. Any boss I've killed, I've killed alone and I haven't attempted HT cuz I think I'm too weak for it. Anyway, thanks for your input, very helpful!
