Marksman

Suggestions for my Marksman?

I have not played my marksman in over a year, and I would like some help with what to upgrade first etc.

This is my current equip:

Clean Zhelm, +15all stats
3% dex, 24dex lv 110 Overall
15 att SCG (u/h, no enhances)
3% dex Cape
3% dex Shoes
3% dex, 12str Earring
Evo ring 1 (17)
Evo ring 2 (16)
Explorer's Crit Ring
2% dex belt
MoN Necklace, 11att
Lv 30 DB Mask (+3all, 3att)
Lv 30 Evan Glasses (+3all, 3att)
Old Silent Crusade Shoulders (+5all, 2att)

And my lovely Crossbow; lv 64 Maple Nishada, 104att +4% att pot u/h no enhances.

Obviously, I will be trying to upgrade my weapon first, and I'm searching through FM atleast once a day for a "cheap" lv 140 crossbow.
Also, I've bought the lv 140 shoes.
Is the best option to aim for the full lv 140 set, or would my old equip "out damage" the 140 set?

Currently, I have about 700m in pure mesos, and I got a few mastery books I will be selling as soon as possible. Should end up at ~1b in pure mesos after that.
If you suggest me to sell any of my old equip, please give me a price of it aswell, as I have no clue at all about prices nowdays.

I cannot buy any NX as far as I know, as I live in Europe. If I try to use paypal or VISA, I get error code 51 or something. Although I have about 8k Maple Points from the Big Wigs boxes.

Please help me out with this, because I have had many sleepless nights, thinking about my lovely Marksman!
I want to start levling this one so badly, but upgraded equipment would make it so much more fun.

Feel free to ask any questions and/or PM if you prefere to be anonymous.
Hugs and kisses to everyone who helps me out!

Thanks!

EDIT: I forgot to say that I'm strless, but that shouldn't affect too much as str is easy to obtain.

UPDATE: Currently I got clean Empress boots and helm, 3% dex empress glove, and an evo 3 ring.
I made about ~80m this night from selling a mastery book and some random equip.
So I still have about the same amount of mesos left, and I am really aiming to find a weapon soon!

I still see 131att ones getting sold for 150-250m here in Windia And btw, I got a 50% scroll for 30m, and it passed ^^
I also used the hammers from the event, one worked and one failed, but I heard it's possible to slate that slot.
Right now I'm only looking for an empress cape, then I'm happy.
Also levled to 160 yesterday (:
I think my range is almost exact 20k without buffs.

I found my 135att clean empress xbow for 130m after about an hour of looking through the fm so there are still good deals out there.

GG my post was deleted when the site crashed.

Thanks for the big post, Weff.
I'll try farm as many slates as possible, but I don't have very much free time during august
I suppose the best way to get them is doing 3 PQ's /day on as many chars as possible?

Atm I'm browsing through FM for a clean empress overall at ~30m.
White scrolls are closer to 250m right now so yeah, I'll pass on that ^^

EDIT: Price check on 6% dex earring btw?
Thanks

Okay, so I found a clean empress xbow for 85m and bought it. It's avg and no pot etc. Should I start looking for those scrolls now, or save up my money for a cape?

So, clean weapon + full set > scrolled weapon +5set empress + 3%dex cape?
And i havent ever seen a xbow 50% in Windia D:

@TribalEMP you don't really have to worry about that in Bera. 2h wep attack 50%s are approx 120-150m ea while xbow 50%s go as low as 60m ea.
@medion1337 I'd worry about getting a complete empress set before scrolling your weapon. Much more cost effective.

@medion1337: not sure how far that'll get you, but... the capes are expensive! uh... i'm not sure what to tell you. try smegaing or something?

[quote=PitchBlack0]@KaitenRen empress xbows are roughly 100m if you look hard enough here in Bera.
@TribalEMP Scrolled well? Yes. Clean not really and that's what he's aiming for atm or should be aiming for. I see dozens of empress xbows here in bera everytime I go through fm. Prices here vary from 100m-150m anything over and your overpaying and not looking hard enough.
OT: I'd personally sell the evo #1 and use the money to get a evo #3 and use the excess money to put towards your emp set.[/quote]

I've edited the first post and added that I've got an evo 3 now aswell.
As it looks now, I will spend ~1bil on a weapon. How much att would that be? And then a clean empress overall I guess. That will put me at 5set.

And I'm really not sure if I should get meso magnet or item pouch :x

@PitchBlack0: ... i'm obviously in the wrong server... but i dont wanna have to get scammed looking for someone to GM scroll that empress xbow.

Finding one isn't that hard, but finding one at a decent price is another question though

I have another question.
Which one of the perm pet equips would benefit me the most? I can only buy one of them. Auto pot HP or Meso Magnet seem to be the best tbh ;o

finding the xbow is the hardest part, since... we're not exactly the most favored of classes out there. WHs and MMs arent very popular.

I've seen a few clean for like 250m, but that's a bit high imo

Reply August 8, 2012 - edited

It's 5att, clean, not under avg. So I'll buy it then? I found a clean one without pot for 15m, so is 35m worth the 3% dex?

EDIT: I bought the glove now, since I would probably not be able to cube anything better anyway.

Still searching for a crossbow~

Indeed
btw, I found a clean 3% dex empress glove in FM for 50m, should I go for it?

[quote=WeffTooFat]^You could get maybe 2 20%'s from the Renegade shop passed with just Renegade coins, I think. If they release some good coin events with Mutiny, you might even be able to get it perfected using slates and 20s though that'll be like, 3600 expected coins for all ten slots if you have no diligence level lol.

All that is for free and not taking any risks.[/quote]

Yeah, I was actually thinking of that aswell, seems like a really good option. If they do release any new way of farming coins, I'll definatly farm as much as possible ^^
I only managed to get a very few scrolls by levling those jett's, I was on vacation for most of the time it was possible to farm it that way.

EDIT: And yesterday night I won an empress glove here on basil, but after a few seconds it was removed from my finished auctions. Is it possible for the seller to remove a finished auction?

Thanks
Then I'll aim for that
How good scrolled would it end up if I spent ~600m on just the weapon?

Without pot, would the clean empress set make up for the 15att scg and the % dex lost from my old equip?
And it's awesome that Knights of Virtue is coming back ^^

I have bought 2 lv 110 Renegade xbows, but they turned out to be really bad pot and worse then my lv 64 xbow.
As, for obvious reasons, the weapon is what I want to upgrade first, I'm not afraid of spending mesos on it.
I will pot them shoulders, but I don't want to blow them up!

Get a renegades xbow preferably lv 100+.
Pot your shoulders.
