What equips should I buy?

I have 2.5b currently and I need to know what I can get with this amount of money.
I am a Hero if it matters.
Equips are:
Hat: The 12 str one from the job quest
Pendant: None
Face: None
Earring: 9% str Epic Half earrings (easily replaceable, just don't go to the fm much)
Cape: 6% str Epic level 75
Top: 10% str Epic level 40 warrior top
Bottom: 6% str Epic level 40 warrior bottom
Belt: 6% str Epic level 40
Shoes: 9% str sneakers
Rings: Evo 1 level 16, Evo 2 level 17, Evo 3 level 10, and a DABR.
Gloves: 11 att wg
My weapon is negligible because it's bad.
So, which items should I upgrade?
(Also, I know weapon should be first, but I don't know what to buy or what I could get. I prefer 2 handed swords.)

I'm in the same rut as you. I ended up buying the empress set (without the cape) and my damage range went down at least 5k. My regular equips give me like 40% Str.

On a side not, I'm scrolling my Lionheart with pink scrolls and was wondering if that's better than using Pos Chaos Scrolls.

Also, should I scroll my own emp weapon?
Thanks for the awesome response btw! =D[/quote]

As long as it's the weapon and not the equips (chaos'ing the equips means preparing to buy more empress equips unless you're using Pos Chaos scrolls). You could buy one but idk much about 2h weapon prices aside from a spear or PA. I hope this helps! ^^

You kidding? Must only be in Windia then cause the 3 other worlds I play in all have tonnes of 2H Empress axes for less than 50m...
I've started to see some popping up for like 10m...

Don't see many 2 handed axes is the only thing.

Get a 2H axe instead if you're going 2h. Unless you're planning to reuse it on a Kaiser or something, an axe would do your budget a lot more justice.

I got the same question, I'm not sure if switching to empress would be good at all, especially if i got 10% str gloves X.X

I used to have the same problem when I switched over to empress. Give me a sec to look over the equips and see if it is worth it.

There are 2 things to worry about:

1) If the empress equips are a good upgrade to invest.
2) Do you have enough dex?

1) It is worth it but you have to get either some str% or decently scrolled on those equips to make it worth an upgrade. 1% nebs or 3% str potentials are a good start for that. A 4-set could be decent but the 6-set is worth it. 45 atk and 30% boss damage is quite a lot. Gali prices are like 50-60m for a clean hat/shoes/overall/glove, around 700m for the weapon and I think more than a bil for the cape. If you sell your top, bottom, shoe and/or, cape, you should have enough for a good pair of gloves (like 26 or 32 atk gloves with a decent potential) and the rest of gear should be clean.

2) Dex can be difficult but with the right items, it won't be so hard.
