Please help me make some equipment decisions

Hello, I am currently sitting at around a 61k clean range with about 2400 int and matk above 350 (idk the exact number i never counted)

I have these equips [url=http://www.dropbox.com/s/vpvie46u1lfvxl1/MaplestoryEquips.png] HERE [/url]

edit: these equips give me [url=http://www.dropbox.com/s/uwiuvrsualeokth/range.PNG]THIS RANGE[/url]

I was wondering what you think my next best course of action would be. Should i keep on going with the empress? Or maybe just buy some common %int.

[quote=IsGamer]Hmm, i see around 50%-ish INT if we count up the all stat %, very nice equipment, it might as well worth it for damage, aside from most potentials and clean things this is very good, i can't give a proffesional oppinion tough, that's up to the ones with knowledge about that, i just wanted to calculate the % in total (for the int).

Off topic question: You need to get every and each piece of the empress gear to have some nice boost?, i was thinking of maybe having a hat, gloves and shoes if i am able to get them for now since robes and everything else is very expensive.[/quote]

i counted 57% without dojo gloves so 69% with.

[quote=xfighter1188]Hmm, okay so I don't plan on spending too much more as my goal is simply to cap while fully buffed with illusion. As for empress, I don't ever see myself getting the 6 set effect because that would cost way too much money. I was thinking of getting a nova cape, and as for gloves i just use dojo gloves(i can get them everytime no problem). In light of the fact that at most ill be aiming for 4 set empress do you think i should still follow through on the empress rout?[/quote]

If that's the case then no. Empress has the bulk of its value only with the set effect. If you can't get the set I suggest looking for alternative items :S. I'm sure you already know mage equips are almost non existent on the market so try gathering funds and buying clean Root Abyss items which are generally 300m ish.

[quote=kooless]How much money can you afford to spend?...The problem with this though is the supply and it might be tough finding a full Root abyss mage set and the cost of each item may be 500m-1b+ per item.[/quote]

How much money can you afford to spend? If you have a bit get a new Empress hat scroll it and cube it to %INT. After get the cape and glove so it gives you the 5 set bonus and when evolving world comes get the Empress shoulder for the 6 set bonus (30% boss and 30matk). Scroll the gloves with 30% and the cape with chaos and pot both and cube. I say keep going with the Empress as your items are already decently scrolled and will save you the trouble of doing so with any other items. The downside though is that you need nx to 3L and cube your items which will take quite a bit depending on your luck. Or you can get Root Abyss mage items ( with 100% pot tier increase or 100% scroll pass) which you can easily scroll/cube/ee. The problem with this though is the supply and it might be tough finding a full Root abyss mage set and the cost of each item may be 500m-1b+ per item.
