    I recommend Chained Jail. The stun effect from chained jail is pretty decent and the added stats are great. If due to all the added strength you get you can restat your existing strength into more dex if you want.

    Soul smasher is good but be aware you won't be able to resell it and you can't use it for any TT90 gear. If you are going to grind up to 90 quickly you might want to skip it.

    I think what he means is that Soulsmaher is much better for grinding. The speed and the gloom aspect kinda helps you save up on a lot of mana as you wont be using as many skills.

    Heres my routine - Deadly Shot - Freeze - Normal - Normal - Normal - Knockback

    80% of the time, it doesnt even get to knockback for monsters of my lvl, so I just end up using two skills. Pretty decent imo and quite certainly not possible with an xbow.

    First of all decide what HH90 weapon u want. Xbow or bow. Chained Jail is nice but what hh90 can u make with it afterwards, that u want. If u want dragonbow at 90 then getting chained jail, flashfire, or soulsmasher will be preference at 80. Blinding raidiance (HH90 xbow most prefered out of all 90 green xbows) u need flashfire xbow to make it. Soulsmasher is nice if u got the coins to spend or the time to farm but i personally would save my coins and go with something else.

    edit - Gloom takes 5% of ur mp everytime it goes in effect on soulsmasher.

    ****tt with soulsmasher i just toss up winged, take aim/cancel charge and let er rip, occasionally knockback, yup thats it (aim low or spark on incrased life/def), then again i use bracers of blood moon, depends what ya grind on too, at 80 though you should be mowing down butterflys

    @Miyako i made my soulsmasher before xmas(yah about 2 days before price on chips crahsed), bought golden spirit for 5 and 6 mil (and that was a deal at the time!) and boy do i never regret it, and yah i did lvl that slow,i just helped people in TT and **** for nearly 2 months after butterflys went green, then when i started to lvl , easy lvl a week @ water mobs and a mil per day+ after all expenses

    i didnt really start on them until undine mystics turned white so 85, people start fishing around 80 on ultrafins but somehow i wasnt a huge fan
    on undines i tried big parties was alright but my fav was just me+a cleric (did it with clerics 78-88 ) there are different ways to do it, if a party is all nuking youll get more xp, higher costs, personally i love money so i would nuke cleric would toss heal over time , nuke some, and pickup drops, i can still push 2.5% [ our of 10.4mil needed to lvl] at 89 an hour on scroll and 100-200k profit after all expenses (scroll and repair and all) in the mid 80s could push 4-5% an hour.

    in lake of woe ultrafins you can push more xp in a bigger party, just itll cost you on profits

    each his/her own though

    I'm looking into Soulsmasher myself... actually I'm hellbent on making one with two sockets and 2 flawless shards... one turqouise, one elemental attack (possibly topaz). I kid you not. Half the reason I'm doing it is for the sheer rage I will get from stat enthusiasts for not putting garnets in it instead. :D

    But anyway, Golden Spirit costs 45 chips to make, right? If I bought two from the people spamming WC with offers, erm... well, at 35k/chip that'd be 3.15mil, before manufacturing fees, and before any of the other mats. Is there a manufacturing fee on Golden Spirit, and if so what is it?

    Yes, I'm still a stubborn holdout in favor of the old game. Haters gonna hate. ;]

    buying gold mat with chips is only for last resort and even then u can probably find a better way, like making a mold and selling ti for money and using that money to buy a overpriced golden spirit.
    My body is made of swords.
    Iron is my blood, and glass is my heart.
    I have overcome countless battlefields undefeated,
    Without once retreating,
    Nor once being understood.
    Always alone, intoxicated with victory on the hill of swords.
    Therefore, there is no meaning to that life.
    Perhaps this body is nothing but a sword itself.
