Skill Book Pack

GlottalStop - Raging Tide

Has anyone gotten the full skill book pack from the Mysterious Librarian in 1K?

Is it worth the cost for the demon book pack (approx 40 mil) or have you found you can buy the skills cheaper individually?
I'm specifically wondering about RT server. I've been checking the AH to try to answer this question but I rarely see any decent demon archer skill books. Hence the reason I'm thinking of buying the pack.

Also, unrelated, is it worth getting the Warsong Belt or Puzzle Cube necklace for end-game archer? I will be getting the TT99 belt so I can wear fists as well. Should I just stick with that? I do plan to pvp at end game so I'm wondering if the extra stats justify the cost (it's relatively reasonable to buy right now due to the pack sale).

Thoughts?

I have, yes it's worth it.

○Aim Low - 5-10m
○Stunning Arrow 10m
○Deadly Shot - worthless
○Thunder Shock - 5m
○Thunderous Blast - 5m
○Serrated Arrow - 2-5m
○Sharpened Tooth Arrow - 10m
○Bow Mastery - 5m
○Wingspan - 10m

If you plan to pvp, don't use TT99 ornaments. You can still have them for pve, just don't use them for pvp

Everyone on my server at least is ditching the Warsong Belt for R9 belt. Really R9 is cheaper since you don't need to refine it and it comes with 1400 total defense (around as good as a +11 g14 warsong belt).

An alternative belt is the 4th map belt... Guard of Thundershock / Paradise Sachet. This belt is highly underrated really. Even at +12 that belt has almost exactly the same defense as a +12 g14 warsong belt. (200+200+109+1237 = 1746 total defense vs 286+1462 = 1748 total defense)

Only reason I can see someone using the Warsong belt over R9 is multi accounts/AA/HA

Thanks for the advice.
I did get enough tokens to make the skill pack.

I'm also holding off on the belt/necklace. I do plan on going R9 when I get there so I'll just save my coins for that.

In the meantime, what would you all suggest for ornaments, since I'm 74 and have a long way to go to get to R9; or even R8. I take my time leveling so I'm ok with investing coins into good gear, as long as I can always sell it when I'm done (non-binding gear).

On the topic of ornaments, do you use pdef or mdef or a combination of both? I ask because I had an interesting discussion with a high level wizard friend of mine and he mentioned some other high level archers ended up sharding some sapphires to protect against hard hitting wizzies and clerics in pvp.

More thoughts?

Sky demon pearl, demon slaughter belt/OHT belts.

Whoever that wiz is, lol. Unless you refine +5 or above, ornaments hardly matter. Seeing as this is pre 9x, you won't be going past +5. I would aim for balanced m.def and p.def. Seeing as LA naturally has more m.def, sky d pearl + demon slaughter is perfect (m.def belt that gives p.res as addon).
