So this coming week

BladedZero - Sanctuary

is going to be a 2x week. I'm hoping to get some of my gears done or maybe make some money through TT soloing. I'm currently running low grade gears, you can check it here http://pwcalc.com/a58b81f7ab331d1e. I've been running 2-2 and been working my way to some coins selling any hooks that dropped using only about 5 crab meats a run with BP on. However since it's 2x I'm wondering which solo instances I can take and which ones I should hit for mats and potential money making.

Edit: yeah refines suck and I cut a lot of edges. Also planning to use the 36 mirages I get a day refining the armors a bit for hp.

So do you actually have a question? Its not like we have any idea of your in game skill (though from your posts I'll just assume nill) so nobody can actually tell you what instances you can solo aside from yourself.

And to answer solo 2-2 mabey solo 2-3, your gears pretty pathetic for a 100 bm. My 5x barb had better 90 gear in bank w/o merchanting or cash shoping

Honestly I just came back into the game two months from a break that was over a year long, yeah I probably don't understand some of the meta. When I came back on I was sporting TT70 at level 80 with maybe 2 mil in the bank. I think I'm doing fairly well so far given the amount of time I've had. As for me hitting 100, it's no big deal. The FCC runs pretty much paid for themselves and I'm not exactly bragging about it. If anything me hitting 100 was just and investment. Or are you actually proud of your 101 when leveling so so broken as it is?

Also I'm asking for advice for getting my gears up to standards, I'm actually addressing a problem I already know is there. Your troll aint helping brah.

Eh, leave Zero alone. I've played with him in game and he's actually a good bm with an excellent understanding of HF timing and marrowing. Of course, you're right that his gear sucks at this point but I also know he is a recent level 99+ char.

A few things: Fist of Heroism suck. They're a slightly better weapon than teaching your bm to gnaw off the mobs face then club mobs to death with nearby rocks and sticks. Since TT is free of good rocks and sticks its time to farm Deicides. Also, two Ring of attendance might work slightly better for you. And that cape... Tauran's for now, flip when can for a lunar cape. I see people running Lunar trophy mode now pretty regularly so that might be an option. I'd sell the tome for a 2 stat tome. Better to get 7 stat points than 5. The LA boots should be next on your farming list too since you already have your 99 wrists.

K, I'm done ripping apart your gear. You are 2.22 aps sparked, so you fall short of perma sparking. This means 1-1, 1-2, 2-1 and maybe 2-2 are your friends. With only 2.6k mdef drummer and wurlord in 1-3 and 2-3 will eat you alive but with a bb up you should be able to duo both. You could tank 3-1 with a cleric, too. I'd recommend 3 person squads of you, a cleric, and a veno, then paint buff yourself outside squad. If you bring a sin they'll pull aggro over you easy and you become a HF and they die from too much aggro. Cleric for obvious reasons. A veno will do about the same amount of dmg as you with their pet because the pet doesn't experience dmg reduction. They also can debuff and amp for you. This will really speed up farming time and how much paint heals making faster and smoother runs, even if they take 1/3 the split.

Lastly. Make a farming genie. AD, earthquake, Extreme Poison (I'm liking this more now than TM because I can spam it more often and they're dmg is close. Although Mire I can pair with my HF every 30 seconds.) Other people prolly have more suggestions for a farming genie since my mind just went blank.

My plans? I'm going to live in vana and in 3-1. I plan on farming my cleric 5 pieces of lunar vana which means I need 15 of each lunar essence and 20 Sacred Mothers Auras which drop about 1/8 the time in 3-1. Then between that and my sin I only neewd 1750 cannies from vana... fun fun.

Yeah, Deicides are the next thing I'm saving up for and then the books for the set bonus. I'll probably do as you say and get the attendance rings, but I'm currently still finishing my first perfect attendance ring which also gives you a rough idea of how long I've been playing lol. I'll definitely switch to a taurans and get a better tome, thanks for the advice on the gears.

So from I see I'm Squad TTs pretty much end at 3-1, which is fine by me since there's some pretty nice drops there. I'll probably go through my friends list sometime this week and see if any venos and clerics are free.

Also thanks for the advice with the genies, I had little clue on how to go on that. They were fairly new when I left the game. A asked a few close friends about some useful skills and I ended up with HP, cloud eruption, tangle mire, and extreme poison. Been using the cloud eruptions for emergency spark eruptions to dodge some dangerous skills, however I can see AD definitely has more utility, especially in squad.

BTW good luck on your weekend hunting, seems like you've got a lot to do with all them characters you've got. Will definitely join you on those runs one day when I get my stuff together.
