So basically guys i was wondering should i lvl my barb from 90 to 100 and make him 5.0 or lvl my bm from 67 and make her 5.0.

I would rather get it on my barb cause of the extra hp etc but my barb was my first char and i went sage with him QQ. So i would have to convert him to demon first (which is expensive when your saving up for deicides and WTLG) and i also have to restat my barb from 50 dex 200 vit to pretty much the other way around which is going to cost alot also. I dont wanna remake my barb cause i have lvl 6 and 7 manufacturing skills on him, dont wanna go through all those hours of farming mats and them annoying as **** manufacturing quests again.

any answers would be appreciated. Thanks in advance b:kiss

    I'd recommend doing the BM. Weapon masteries, skills available, etc. Maybe level the barb to get level 8 manufacturing skills to make your BM's Nirvana/TT100 stuff.

    You could just get to 3.33 on your barb (which would be 4.0 with wind shield I believe) and then proceed in leveling your BM. I mean, unless those characters are on different accounts (in which case I'd just reroll the BM on the same account), why not share gears and do both?

    5 barb would be more popular in squads, but that cultivation change..

    for bm u will need 30gold for crafting skill for barb 10 gold +200mirages to switch your culti + w/e is needed to restat.

    Other than that not much difference, choose w/e u like more, just dont forget u need 3rd fairy to switch to demon, and that may take longer than lvling your bm to 90.

    you can always make a demon barb in an another account and keep the sage barb (for buffing and manufactoring)

    note that you have to complete the 100 culti to change ur cultivation

    Thanks for the advice guys

    i dont think i will bother about going 5.0 on my barb cause 3rd fairy *gulp* trying to get it for my psy and have already used over 300 dice tickets trying to get to room 38 in cube (imo hardest part of the dam culti)

    I would do this but currently dont have enough time to play pwi to lvl both chars to 100 so i think since i will get 5.0 bm faster i will go with it thanks again for the advice.

    I'm currently a 5.0 APS Barb working on a lvl 90 BM to transfer my gear too.

    5.0 APS Barbs are a welcome sight to farming squads, they are less common than sins and BMs imo.

    Claw Barb has its ups and downs, I figure BMs have more ups than downs in terms of benefits.


    Choice is yours though.

    Though my barb is sage I'll be turning it to demon after culti so I can allow it to wear my claws I currently use on my archer and bm..so do both bm and barb you will have more options.

    If you already have a bm 5.0 I don't really find a point to change the barb...

    I've done the room 38 chrono quest on 5 characters and on none of them took more than minutes or a few hours to finally complete. I don't get why it's the hardest part.

    Really if you're a decent barb you will have no problem with getting the chrono quests and cultivation done. The only true decision to make is do you prefer to nerf your HP for -int and use fists but not do as much DMG as BM's who presumably have your buff too. OTOH as mentioned before you'll be highly wanted esp for HP+atk buffs.

    Lol, :P I guess that makes 90% of my server retired by your definition haha. 1 hour of BH a day and then come on for weekends for TW. Not much else to do anyways... except maybe FCC.

    About the damage from barbs and bms 5.0 i am almost 100% sure that barbs do more damage per hit like 15 lol, cause of that demon posion fang buff.

    And about room 38 being hardest for me, well um i have did a full run rb (thought it would have been harder) and i have tryed 100+ maybe even 200+ times to get into room38 i dont think the cube likes me much.
