New Beginner Equips

So I recently made a new beginner and it's level 150, so I am trying to figure out what equips I should be using, should I use commerci or sweet water. And are either of the sets particularly expensive? Would I be better off trying to get them myself (if so how would I get them). Or is it better to have a top and bottom over commerci/sweet water?

[quote=cris1000]The [url=http://i.imgur.com/HbNcHHI.jpg]Blackgate set[/url] looks pretty good, not sure if you'd equip all of the items but some of them are good for their tradability and being all class.[/quote]

Aside from the SW set, I'd say this is the best end-game set beginners can get.
Alternatives would be Legend Maple or Grand Maple Amethisian sets, both of which can be obtained from Krexel.

EDIT: forgot about the commerci set (not the SW one, the one you get from the quests). It doesn't have a set effect, but the stats aren't bad and you can give them to your beginner from another character, unlike blackgate (which is mostly a clone of the VL set).

[quote=whatthejew]SW is the best end-game set-up by far, and clean hats/shoes/capes/suits are all around 300-500m each in windia. Gloves are I think around 2b, you can farm commerci/commercipq on an alt character if they're strong enough to take down the bosses in there since they drop SW gear. Commerci is very hard to do as a beginner with high mob count on voyages, and I still am unable to beat the first boss in commerci without the use of giant pots. It's better to have a top/bottom over the sw suit if you have a homecoming/ht ab shirt combo'd w/ v 90 stirge pants or homecoming pants. So you should use 4/5 available SW equips for beginners, hat/shoes/cape/gloves, if you don't have a good top/bot combo take out one of the pieces for the suit. ~>(I'd suggest gloves since high quality dimension gloves aren't half bad compared to SW and considering how expensive sw gloves are)

As for weapon choice def go with VIP dagger (STR).
Good luck, hope you have a blast with your perm beginner. =][/quote]

you'll die before you get sw gloves from commerci. Out of all my runs best item i ever got was one meister cube

@xerun45: 120k range is good enough to defeat the octopus on the first/2nd voyages he comes out on. Me vip dagger is fully scrolled w/ prime scrolls.
I prefer STR over HP, I believe it's possible to have 25k+ without adding points into HP with a ton of +hp/%hp. However, I have 950ish AP invested into HP, which is a mistake, and I have 49k with decent HP active, most +hp/%hp is from starforce/set equips. Once the game gets up I can check how much HP I have without any gear. 18kHP without any gear on~

Would about 120k range be good enough to take out the bosses? And the prequests to get to Commerci are the Tynerum ones? And the only thing I have is the VIP dagger and how do you have yours scrolled, did you use 70%? As well as do you prefer HP or STR? And if you prefer STR over HP, is it possible to have 25-30k hp purely through %HP and per level hp?
