As of right now, you'd probably have troubles killing hard gollux with 300k range.

First, you need to get an emblem to legendary tier and get like 18-21% attack. That should boost range by a lot. Then potenital all of your gollux items to atleast 6% luk. I would say buy perfect scrolled RA set (scrolled with icog or cog, not spell traces) or clean unique/legendary tier ra set. While doing all of that, do your daily bosses everyday and save for superior shield wards. Get your tyrants to 7 stars.

that isn't true at all. He's going for end game while you're doing whatever you're doing. Look at his weapon/secondary for instance, that's where most of his money was spent and i'm sure those greatly out class what you're using. If the goal was to get to 300k range through cheapest way, you win, but he's aiming to solo hellux/other bosses.

@FlyxdUP: Well that's up to them. At any point in time I could shoot up to 1.5mil but I don;t feel like rushing.

Also, this is counting the years in Pre-BB, as well as the years I spent not playing maple.

lol. p2p ftw

[quote=MrSinDeath19]It's all about patience, information, and a bit of luck. I've had this character for around 7 years now, playing on or off. I participate in any event I see profitable. I can usually sell services for the event rewards in exchange for items that I need. I've never had more than 600mil on my character up until about 3 months ago (The nut coin event really shot me up). I did daily bosses for a while to get items. I searched the FM for cheap empress (That's right, I hit 300k with empress) and if the potential is bad, I fuse them. Doing that has got me about 6% luk on each of my items. I have reinforced gollux set from my own farming. Evo rings, absolute rings, and Slyph rings from events. I found cubes from mining veins or from bosses. And more recently the cube event got me about 10 a day spread out over my accounts, and that's what I've used to get my faf gear made. I currently have all my faf gear minus the claw, each at 15-20 atk, with a few slots left (cogs and icogs + CSS from the nut coin event was key here), with 6-9% luk on each of them as well. I'm sure my range will hit close to 500k once I get them finished and equipped. People who rush are the ones that spend the most, I take my time and therefore can do a lot with a little.[/quote]

65b looks right seeing that your claw, and secondary look real good considering you got "completed gollux" im assuming you mean perfected but maybe not potentialed.
300k range is fair but you probably need at least 21% luk on all your items. the scrolling for top, bottom, hat dont really matter but you should consider fixing up later.

for everyone saying you went wrong i dont think you did if you started with absolutely nothing on that nl. everyone thinks its like 100b to get 2m-2m which is wrong. You need over 400b to get to a satisfying range to solo hellux imo.

it pretty much comes down to getting 21% luk on all your items now and maybe some more % atk/pdr on an emblem.

With 65bil mesos I can improve my range by a lot...
I think you need to spend time researching how to spend the 65bil mesos wisely the next time, but too late now.

Someone I know he said he got a range of 800k buffed if I remember it correctly and he can kill Hellux or it was clean...but I don't know how long it takes to kill it.

I think you hit about 6mil per line right now with your current range?

It's almost always better to buy premade equips rather than scroll and cube your own, especially when it comes to non-class-specific equips (like Gollux). The reason for this is that when you cube you are only looking for %luk and will likely cube over other %stats (unless it happens to be really good), so your choices are limited. However, for people that cube for general profit, they can end up with any %stat and sell. Thus, it's much more cost-effective to find a premade item since the maker didn't have to spend as much to make it.

Ouch..... I hope that you mean you spent ~$240 in NX to only end up cubing to Epic. If you spent 65bil and ended there, you went to a wrong shop in FM1.

[quote=Itachi9821]I read that you need to do somewhere between 20m-30m lines to finish off helix gem on time as a NL. As of right now I have 276% boss and 300k range. I just wanna know how much range I need in order to hit that 20m-30m per line on gollux. I know I'm not even close as I do have a dark knight with well over 2-2 range, but just wondering how it works for NL. The 300k range does not include any link skills (I have them, but it's not regularly active on the NL). I really did not expect the amount of funds that I would need to use to get to ony 300k range. Of course none if these have potentials over 6% luck and no emblem. I think I've spent a good 65b and this was my result. Maybe I'm just not spending correctly. Thanks in advanced![/quote]

You spent 65 B but still have no emblem and 6% potentials?
