Hello i am about to get rank 8 soon. However i am wondering whether the tt99 boots and wrists is better to get rather then the rank 8 since i heard the rank 8 ones are expensive. I would like to know thanks. Also what is a decent minimum hp for seeker 100+?

Would like to know a number so i know how much refining and shading i have to do minimally and maximally before i reset my 50vit down to 5vit for pvp/pve for some power.

Thanks.b:victory

    The Tideborn and Earthguard races have the opportunity of purchasing bracers and boots, unlike the other classes. To obtain this gear, you'll need to visit Ti Chien (129, 855) in Thousand Streams and provide 100 Wedding Candies for each piece. After making this purchase once, you'll be able to repurchase the bracers or boots for 1,000,000 coins each day.
    ^from the wiki.
    So first of all you'll need 200 wedding candies to get them both... I gues getting all the candies will be quite expensive(but rank8 is pricey, so whatever) but the main problem is finding so much of them I gues Oo;

    Anyways, Here's the bracers and boots:

    ★ Radiant Eye Bracers
    Physical Defense +762
    Elemental Defense +330
    Strength +7~8
    Vitality +7~8
    Critical Hit Rate +1%

    ★ Radiant Eye Boots
    Physical Defense +1019
    Elemental Defense +435
    Strength +7~8
    Vitality +7~8
    Critical Hit Rate +1%

    Compared to TT99:

    ☆Lionheart Vambraces
    Physical Defence +723
    Elemental Defence + 310
    Interval Between Hits -0.1 seconds
    Phys. Res.: +216
    HP: +90

    ☆Lionheart Greaves
    Physical Defence +963
    Elemental Defence + 415
    HP: +90
    Strength +9
    Dexterity +9

    TT99 will have as bonus another -0.05int.

    I'm still unfamiliar with Nirvana and what exact piece you can make from TT99 so I'm not going to post those stats here in case I grab the wrong set b:surrender. However I do see quite some seekers using nirvana sleeves and boots.

    Hm it looks like TT99 is better for me to get in the long run, since xD the 200 candies looks expensive. I guess now to worry about xD how to increase my hp without vit stones since i am not doing them yet lol.

    Well, better shards is something you can work towards :)
    You can already do nirvana, if you don't like running it a lot you can always save up keys for a 99 keys run and get money from that :)
    Once I get my rank8 it won't be sharded with vit and defense stones right away either...

    I can do nirvana? Thats strange i cant find any nirvana without bloody 4aps +. Well tahts what i will think, i mean if wcing for bh100 to form a squad is hard for me most of the times, then nirvana will be impossible.

    Also 99 keys will take a while lol, got 19 keys right now. Also a pain me finding delta right now, due to no one ever responds to my wc, not even for me offering to set up squad. Raging Tide is full of nub sins and bms that just care about 5aps..and Cash shop their faces off XD.

    So i just join any thing that someone wc for except fc(since i am not doing fc right now till i want to get my skills, cause i will need sp).

    Hm, I sometimes see wc's for a seeker though.
    <heard from a 5aps sin and another friend who runs nirvana) Seekers are nice on vampire boss, since you have to kill some mobs and they have to die at almost the same time. Usually done by a bm, but seekers vortex is <3 for it.
    Also the defense lvl debuff is nice, which works on all bosses(while veno's amplify damage won't work on all bosses)
    A couple of friends who are willing to take you along will always work too. Once you prove yourself to be a good addition to a squad people are more likely to ask you to come along :)
    Even at this lvl I see so much seekers that can hardly play their class... using Parchedblade Dance on bosses instead of the other stances. Not using the skills once the stance procs... .__."
    A lot of squads rather have a class they already know along too. It takes some time to prove them we can be quite usefull too I gues P:

    Also I dunno what kind of faction you're in, but why not ask them for nirvana runs ^^ ?

    Maybe Xd your server isnt ap mad. I guess i could try faction when its 2x since right now most are busy doing fcs xD. Alot of my faction are bms/ sins / venos. I guess time will tell, xD but right now i am couping for now. But i do know that Rage tidings is full of sins XD.

    They are aps mad here too x'D But I see a lot of squads taking either a cleric, a veno or a seeker along with them for debuffs P:
    I recommend just shoutin in wc that you're looking for a nirvana squad, or make one yourself :3
    And faction runs are always more fun anyway >:]

    It depends on your own preference I gues. 50vit equals 800hp. Doesn't seem much but saved me in quite some occasions + it'll lower your defense P:
    I personally love my hp(atm 4800 unbuffed P: and 103vit with gear)
    I would say unless you find yourself often with about 800hp left after a pull(be it in fcc or aoe-grinding or whatever) I would just go for the restat already :)

    O.O 103 vit with gear? XD. You one of those seekers with xD the nice gear farmed from mains. My gear only gives like 30 XD
    By the hp was for pvp acutally, XD not so worried about pve lol. 5vit is fine for pve i know that.

    ^^" full TT70 armor. I farm together with another veno and sometimes a barb and my hubby b:surrender
    http://pwcalc.com/36119eeb7b7c6052
    ^current build/gear of my seeker. I stat as much vit as I can :P My gear gives me +26vit...

    Haven't put shards in my helmet, but that's because I can most likely afford a warsoul helmet after reputation sale P:
    The mp shards in my cape are there for vortex. With my mp helmet I can most likely keep up lvl 2 at lvl 75 ^^

    My ornaments need replacements b:surrender scouting for stuff with +mp >_<

    Personally i find xD adding vit so useful till 100. Then at 100 its not that useful some much to me anymore. I mean yes i can survive, but i cant really 1 hit robes. I need to get rank 8 refined and 5 vit, then i will surely xD be dangerous. If i can get 7k ubuffed minium then i should be able to surive at least XD 1 - 2 hits from magic except the rank 9 cause no matter what hp in rank 9 i will die unless i am rank 9.

    Yes that's true ^^ I might consider restatting at endgame. For now I'm enjoying my hp and tankyness though... Bit tired of being a squishy venob:quiet

    Dont do it yet. Do it at 100, trust me, if you do it now you will reset like 5 - 6 times like me. The amount of gold i wasted i would of gotten rank 8 right now plus warsoul helmet.

    the boots and wrists each cost 20 mil using 10k tokens you can take 2k tokens and make the wedding wines take the wedding wines to the wine guy and trade them for wedding candy xD b:victory hope i helped there. I plan on getting my seeker the rank 8 boots and wrists even though i have the la versions i can account stash over from my bm but meh i am happy with the rank 8.

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.
