Help me upgrade

Hi, I am looking to upgrade most if not all my equipment because it's really not that great. Sorry if this ends up a little long, I've never quite delved too deep in equipment stats and such so I am a little clueless. Here are the only equips that are scrolled/enhanced. I know that they need to be cubed, I am just wondering if the stats are okay or if I can do better.

Here are some general questions I have:

1. What shoulder equipment should I try getting? Currently have a crappy tempest shoulder, not worth mentioning stats.
2. Which rings should I get? I'm guessing Superior/Solid/Reinforced/Cracked rings? Again, I have no rings worth mentioning.
3. I have no idea what gloves I should get, I currently have 24 att dimension gloves with no pot. Should I get tyrant gloves? Sweet water? Dojo?
4. Accessories: Currently have sweet water glasses and tattoo, is there anything better? What stats should I aim on for these? As for pendants, should I aim for superior and reinforced gollux?
5. I currently have a clean tyrant belt and clean tyrant boots, how should I go about scrolling/enhancing/transposing these?
6. Should I get a lidium heart for my android?
7. What badge should I get? What can I do to my clean Angel Emblem and clean Green Soul Ring (sub weapon)?
8. Totems? I only have a Might Joe Joe Totem with +20 dex, +6 w.a/m.a

What should I upgrade first? Ideally, I'd like to get equipment that is already scrolled/enhanced/whatever and then focus on cubing.

While we're on the topic of cubing....
When cubing armor, should I aim for %dex? What should I get for my weapon? Accessories? etc? What should I aim for on bonus potentials?

**My current range is a sad 140k~165k (w/o any buffs) and 160k-188k (with buffs).** My ability is also poo and not worth mentioning. I have lvl 2 link skills from a Kanna, Beast Tamer and Mercedes (working on Phantom).

Sorry if this is a lot I'm asking. I'd appreciate even if you can only answer a few things. Thank you for your patience and guidance. o.o OH and I currently have about ~10bil to spend.

The orbs that spawn from other attacks

What do you mean by proc orbs?

I tried soul seeker at sh without any buffs at all, no soul weapon, no stargazer, etc and my orbs average around 40-42mil per hit.

I think that is the longest post I've actually read all of...

I think the above person is kind of wrong. Critical chance is probably the best thing you can aim for after atk%. If you get the opportunity, try for a 30% crit inner ability. It's difficult...and took me forever to get it...but it's worth it. Other than that people are too quick to just say atk%...try to get around 200% total boss dmg, get atk% when you can, try to avoid total dmg%(it's treated identical to boss dmg% in the range formula...so it's normally a waste of a line to get total damage.) Dex% is ok but when the item can get any of the atk%, boss dmg, pdr, total dmg - aim for those lines in place of dex. Basically try to be diverse in the lines you get overall. In the end because of the formula most stats have diminishing returns at a certain point and when you get there, you're better off changing to a different stat than to keep pumping more of whatever % it is you're really high in.

In terms of a starting place, I'd recommend first focusing on cubing your weapon, secondary weapon and emblem to legendary and then aiming for atk%, pdr + boss dmg, and crit.
After that, bonus cube those three items and aim for legendary. Try to get a mix of the same stats as on your regular potential.

Dunno if it'll help, but I can solo virtually every boss in the game and these are the lines I have on my items:

weapon:
reg --> 30% boss dmg, 12% atk, 30% pdr
bonus --> 12% atk, 9% crit, crap third line.
25% boss neb.

secondary weapon:
reg --> 12% atk, 9% atk, crap third line.
bonus --> 9% atk, 6%atk, 6% atk (yeah, 21% atk but still unique, rofl. I got lucky.)
25% boss neb

emblem:
reg --> 40% pdr, 12% atk, crap third line
bonus --> 9% total dmg, 9% dex, 2str per 10 char levels. I'm still working on my bonus on this item...until I got 30% crit inner ability, I used my bonus to boost my crit. Now I'm trying to get something good for those lines but I haven't been lucky so far.
4% all stat neb

Another key thing to do is to focus on other chars on your account for link skills and character cards.
Get the kanna to 120 for 10% damage
The demon slayer to 120 for 15% boss damage
Demon avenger to 120 for 10% damage
Luminous to 120 for 15% pdr
Phantom to 120 for 15% critical
Xenon to 120 for 10% all stats
Jett can get you 30+atk on the core if you pump the nx into it. It's not hard at all.

Then, character cards. You'll want the pirate set for the pdr boost.
You'll want the thief set for increased min/max critical dmg which really does help

Specific cards you'll want(all a minimum of S rank) are Kanna (3% boss), angelic buster card (80 dex), sniper card = 3% crit, demon avenger = 3% boss, hayato = 6% minimum crit, shade = 3% min crit, 3% max crit and xenon adds 20 to str/dex.

Heres the set up I'm using:
first set: kanna, ab, sniper
second set: avenger, hayato, shade
third set: phantom, xenon and dual blade.
(I already have 90% clean pdr so I got rid of my pirate set in order to get the thief set and keep the shade and hayato and sniper.)

In terms of other gear...get tyrant and work to get them all to at least 10 stars. While you work on your tyrants, your tyrant glove can wait. Make a point of getting the dojo gloves.
Myself, I mostly considered my main tyrants done once I got them to 10 stars with legendary potential with 20%+ dex, perhaps a line of 10-12atk on the bonus pot and then a 4% all stat neb.

After and during this, work on your rings. For now stick to gollux rings, all four. Get the superior and reinforced perfected. Then aim for 15% dex at least on each.

Then, work on your pendants. Get two superior gollux pendants. This allows you to get the 4 set effect which has 30% boss and 30% pdr. Perfect both.

Get superior gollux earrings and perfect them as well, aiming also to get at least 15-20% dex.

CRA set obviously. Aim for at least 15% dex per item. An easy goal with regards to bonus potential for all items is to aim for at least 10 atk bonus on one line. That's good and that rule goes for all bonus potentials other than weapons/emblem.

Get at least a 60attack heart.

Once you've done all of the above, try for your tyrant gloves.
They're the most difficult and expensive piece of gear you're gonna have.
I've got my tyrant glove to the point where it's basically as good as the Hero Glove.
To do this, I have the following stats on it: 127 dex, 127 str. 95atk.
regular potential --> min crit 15%, 9% dex, crap third line.
bonus potential --> dex per 10 char levels = 1, 4% dex, and 11atk.

You'll need legendary status on the gloves in order to get the % min/max crit you need to compensate for the lack of boss and total dmg dojo gloves have. Min and max critical dmg are interchangeable so as long as you have one or the other, you're fine. So aim for roughly 11 stars on your tyrant glove.
Sweet water gloves, even 54 atk, pale in comparison and the effort to get them is wasted when you could be working on tyrants.

Face/eye/shoulder, all aim for legendary potentials w/ 10atk bonus line. Worry about scrolling them later when you're finishing up.

Hope that helps. Sorry for saying so much but I didn't want it to be lacking anything, lol.
Perhaps there are alternative routes, but thats the route I took and I'm happy with the result. I get sub 6 minute dojo times. My soul seeker averages 50mil per line on regular mobs. Obviously hitting max dmg on bosses.

Etc I didn't fit in above. Get totems. Perhaps get items with decent speed infusion, advanced bless and combat orders. I don't hardly use them, though so I don't consider them necessary.
Become an alchemist and make yourself potions such as advanced great hero/boss rush, etc. Farm red and green mpe potions.

Hope thats what you're looking for.

if self scrolling, wait until epic potential scrolls make a reappearance and farm them. proceed to epic all your gear.

bonus potentials you should ignore until the very end. they are significantly weaker than normal potentials and cost more to cube.

on weapon/secondary aim for boss damage and only when you have close to 300% boss damage does %atk start being better. acceptable secondary stats are crit, %stat, and PDR. treat total damage as boss damage.

on emblem most people get %atk.

on everything else aim for lines of %dex or %all stat.

for shoulder grab any shoulder with a good pot. meister shoulder and empress shoulder i think are the popular ones.

for rings gollux rings are generally a safe bet, if you're rich get a scarlet ring in place of cracked.

tyrant gloves are the best gloves. you can also get dojo gloves but you need good range for it. if poor grab the 100% tier up gloves from RA

for accessories get 2x superior gollux pendant. glasses and tattoo are fine, just get a %dex pot on them.

for tyrants, just scroll them with 70% spell traces (dex) and then start enhancing. if you have any multi star enhancement scrolls use those. otherwise first star use AEE, second onwards use star force. once you hit 5 i think it might be better to start using super shielding wards. idk because i personally used 5 star EEs on all my stuff and they're hard to get atm.

for android heart, black heaven will give you an orchidroid and possibly a heart as well. if not get lidium or beryl. i wouldn't transpose your tyrants.

ghost ship badge is the only pottable badge so thats your choice.

soul ring and angel emblem are both "weapons" as far as potentials go so you want to grab boss damage or %atk on them.

you can't get any totems at the moment but RLH is supposedly coming back soon so wait for that.

%dex on everything except weapon, soul ring, and emblem which all have weapon pots.

basically i'd approach scrolling your gears with 70% dex or 70%watk spell traces on everything, perfect your soul shooter with anniversary scrolls coming up or 30/70% spell traces depending on your price range (perfect weapon is most important for damage) and aim for good pots on your weapon/soul ring/emblem first before getting good pots on everything else. try for %dex on everything and slowly increase how much dex you have on everything. get a full set of superior gollux and if you have 2 pendant slots get 2 superior pendants.
