I need some Dark Knight guidance

So I'm a level 202 Dark Knight, and I've reached this point where my equips are pretty good and I'm too poor to upgrade. At this point, I don't know what to do to increase my range. Can I get some suggestions? These are my equips.

Helm: Royal Warrior Helm, +115 STR, +3 Wep ATK, 6% STR
Face: Sweet water Tattoo, +51 STR, 7% STR
Eyes: Evolution Sunglasses, +18 STR, +1 Wep ATK, 15% STR
Pendant: Superior Gollux Pendant, +71 STR, +21 ATK
Earrings: Superior Gollux Earrings, +64 STR, +34 ATK, 9% STR
Belt: Superior Gollux Belt, +106 STR, +55 ATK, 6% STR
Ring 1: Superior Gollux Ring, +56 STR, +28 ATK
Ring 2: Silver Blossom Ring, +30 STR, +2 ATK, 6% STR
Ring 3: Tempest Ring, +29 STR, +2 ATK, +5 All Stats, 2% STR
Ring 4: Pinnacle Ring: +25 STR, +2 ATK, +6 STR
Shoulder: Meister Shoulder, +48 STR, +9 ATK, 6% STR
Chain: Berserk Chain, +10 STR, +3 ATK, 6% STR, Ignore 15% of enemy def
Emblem: Gold Maple Leaf Emblem, +10 STR, +2 ATK
Badge: Rising Heroes Badge, +10 STR, +10 ATK
Chest: Eagle Eye Warrior Armor, +89 STR, +3 ATK, 6% STR
Pants 1: Black Neos Pants, +25 STR, +10 ATK, 16% STR
Pants 2: Trixter Warrior Pants, +85 STR, +3 ATK, 6% STR (I wear these for bossing)
Cape: Tyrant Hyades Cloak, +173 STR, +30 ATK, +12 STR
Gloves: High Quality Dimension Gloves, +48 STR, +28 ATK, +5 All Stats, +10 ATK, +6 STR
Boots: Blue Dragon Boots, +45 STR, +1 ATK, 12% STR
Weapon: Fafnir Moon Glaive, Fast Speed, +89 STR, +255 ATK, 21% STR, Ignore 30% of enemy def, Soul weapon

Which equips are the cheapest to upgrade? Thanks. What else can I do to increase my range? Thanks.

Try get a Ghost Ship Exorcist badge from the questline in Boat Quay Town as this badge can have a potential. Also start doing Gollux to get the rest of the Gollux rings to replace the three non golux rings. Work on getting a decent potential on your emblem and do dojo to get dojo gloves. Good luck increasing your range!

Commerci after you hit lith i think, you can probably get at least a cube a day.. or cubic blade something like that and bossing. Then theres also rp

Fight/bring strong people to boss for reward points/cube drops and craft cubes? That's the best I can think of

@yoloswag6942042 Thank me later XD, and uh.. if you dont want to do weapon and you have one of those event hearts left over (like last one was the vampire event where you got childhood heart), you can scroll that for att as well.

12 stars? I kinda think you should re-scroll the weapon somehow because 255 atk seems pretty low if you already have it at 12 stars. I always say start with the weapon and then work on the rest of the gear

You lack quite a bit of boss damage and atk% I suggest recubing the pdr lines. At low ranges you need not be concerned with it. Eg. your weapon has good str%, but i bet 1 line of att 9% or 12% can give you much more range... although because its 21% str its not the first thing id cube.
Enhance pa to 12 stars if you can cos it seems u havent done that, otherwise you would get some dex. You are covered more than enough for stats %, there needs to be that balance of boss dmg and atk%.
So, the first thing is probably cubing emblem for att%(really helped me out in the initial stage of range gaining), then recubing the sub weapon for att of boss and you can keep the weapon as it is but you probably need to get some boss damage from some source (aka wep or sub weapon). eg: for me i get most of my boss damage from my sub (60% bd and 9% str) whereas most of my att from my weapon and emblem.

@Savaah is baka @icedemon9 showed me the ways of drk lel and that other gurl/dood that made drk knight guide.

Edit: if 255 att is your weapon att for pa after enhancing to i suggest you take advantage of the +9 att scroll event going on now and make a new polearm for the price of a bit of your time (making mules to lvl 33) And you will probably have to recube that too but.. at least you have an endgame weapon :v

you'd probably want Reinforce Gollux Ring (if you solo, it's basically free. potentially even Alchemy Fuse rings till you get something).
Emblem needs pot. if possible you would much prefer %Watk on Weapon/Secondary but if cubes are out then it's w/e
various other equipment needs pot, too though Emblem is most likely to improve your range the most since it can give %Atk

EDIT: well, I see they all have pot already, just nothing of use. so you can ignore my comments on that
