My BM's build

Muyzaki - Heavens Tear

Hello, I will be buying my BM's gear in a couple days but before i do i just wanted to make sure i got everything.

Things to note: I already have the tome, so unless i trade for a str one it will be there for awhile. I also have boughten the claws already, and am farming S3 axe.

This costs about 234mil for everything http://pwcalc.com/a5ca6d77fa69cf2d (this includes axes in my next link) My budget is 300mil.

Axe- http://pwcalc.com/6ccb7c6f8e750203

I mainly plan to farmm TT and do FC runs. Don't think i will get very far in 3-3 with the current gear, i know. Will use this to farm more coins to upgrade.

You can do the easy bosses with no problem. It's a good start. However, you should never put full buffs in a calc because you want to see the minimum stats you can fall to. Once you drop the buffs your build is a lot squishier.

My first suggestion is to get Demon Bell, Demon Marrows. They aren't too expensive and are kind of crucial to your survival. I would swap out the saphs in hat/cape for citrines because with demon marrow on your mag def is literally 2% more with saphs, at a cost of 350 HP. I sharded a perfect garnet but I actually mean an exclusive garnet from Morai

Looks good but unless you plan to have more refines, i'd stat some vit. (53 or 103) and reduce dex a bit, looks like you got too much of that.

You wont be doing any TT 3-x with this except for the bosses that drop nothing good but only open the next door. 2-3 will be tough, you probably need a cleric alt to help you. Wurlord probably 1-shots you without BB.

Tips for the future:

-Higher refines, you want to get well over 10k HP and refining your claw is important both to kill stuff faster and to increase BP heals.
-R8r armor with -int for 5aps.
-you may want to upgrade the helm to G16 and lose the 5 attack levels for better refines and stats. Not the biggest thing, but think about it before refining it highly.

If you get yourself to say 12k HP, 5APS and a +10 weapon like that. You can solo 2-3 and 3-1 without cleric support. Or you can duo 3-2 and 3-3 with a friend. (possibly 1 of you dual clienting a cleric)

If you want to solo 2-3 and 3-3 (the bosses that matter, not just the weaklings) You should probably progress further and phase out the TT99. You can add R8R boots with -int and upgrade the sleeves to G16 (HA). You can get a tome and and replace the ornaments with cube/warsong. Double int on the chest or weapon would allow you to even swap your cape for a G16. These are all very expensive (low chance per roll) options though, so that is for the very long term. It may be usefull though to decide on your future goals and focus your refining items on stuff that wont be changed any time soon. I would advise you to make a decision now to keep the Helm G15 or make it G16 (i would go for G16) and then refine the weapon, helm and pants to +10 when you can. You can later do the same with your r8r pieces. The bound TT99 i would stop at +5 or +6 probably. Oh and while DQ points are still there, refine armors to +8 using tisha/tienkang, not dragon orbs.

Thanks both, it will probably be awhile before i get R8R.

I could always go with Full S3 http://pwcalc.com/3e68197f2c90c99d
But yeah i should have enough to make all gear +5 and weapon +6. http://pwcalc.com/f020a684113c0fe2

Ah i just edited my above post a little bit too.

Do you already have the G16 from another toon ? That is great In PvE you shouldnt need it too much and espescially in the future when your APS set imrpoves, you wont need it at all.
For PvP, this looks great though. Hopefully you live in the right time-zone to farm NW so you can make R8r b:pleased

Looking at the link you just post, it looks nice, but i surely would take 5APS over 15 def levels and take 1 less piece of G16 (pants i guess) and make it G15 for the -int. Whether you go r8r or G16, i guess its the pants and helmet that are gonna stay on you, so you can refine those now. The dual-int weapons and -int r8r are very luck dependend, even if you want to buy them (i bought my double int fists for 260m (TT) while recently someone refused to sell my friend another one (lunar) for less than 1.2b) so its hard to predict what you will get anyway.

I can do nation wars indeed! So it will help me with my r8r.

I have the dreamchaser 1* and 2* orbs allowing me to easily get to +3, and from that forward i usually use a tisha or tienkang

I am not sure how pve orientated your friend/faction is or what the prices for pan gu. Before coins vanished from delta, it was cheaper to farm pan gu. Now it is cheaper to buy pan gu than to make it. On Sanctuary if you get a good deal 150m~200m was the price i got a few pan gus for about 4 months ago.

Right now i would say nation war is your fastest way to earn money and upgrade gear. R8r reroll from nw is an expensive enterprise. I think each reroll is around 1.7m, you can do 5~10 rerolls per nw. If you do 20 rerolls a weekend that is 34m a weekend. So you can see how it can becomes expensive quickly.

Also find out what things you can farm if any, best to duo/trio things. BH lunar is still profitable, people buy eod for 1.5~2m on the server. That is 300k for 6 people for a 1.8m eod. A good squad would take 10~20 minutes a run. That is about 1m an hour. Botting gets you more money though b:chuckle.

It keeps surprising me how people talk about "farming pan gu". It is made from 2 parts. 1 part is like 80% of the value, the other maybe 20%. You can only farm the 20%. On archosaur, pan gu was also 200m 4 months ago. Then the token price doubled-tripled (to buy the 80%) and the Pan Gu went to 400m.

About the R8r it really depends on what you hope to get. single int on a body armor is 1 in 25 rolls. So that is feasible, kind of comparable to single int on a G16 weapon. (chances for that are 3 times higher, but a roll is also 3 times the cost)
Single int on boots comes about 1 in 250 rolls on average. So that really gets expensive yes.
Double int on body... well, that needs a lot of luck and perceverance.

At current gear level i would advise OP to do:
-Selling FC rooms
-Selling CoGs from cube
-Selling obp from SFP
-Selling anything you can find in full warsong
-NW to make R8r-int body.
-Auto cultivating while you sleep to get many tienkang/tisha for your refines.
-Start experimenting a little in TT2-2 and 2-3 to start. Experiment, so that means, learn what the bosses do. see what you can do solo. Be ready to fail and learn from it. See what friends you have to do runs together and how that works best. Consider making alts to aid you (buff sin/barb, BB cleric that is build just to survive) etc.
No rush to move up to 3-x. doing 3-x instead of 2-3 is more important for your ego than your wallet really.

Ty again WannaBM think i got everything need now.

Jaabg - Sanctuary

Farming pan gu = all 6 players give you the mystical tome fragments. After 5~9 runs, you sell all the extra ones, to cover the costs for the tokens. That is what i meant by farming. If you only do deltas for the tome fragments, it is not worth it. Since coins are not taken out, people are less likely to help out due to repair costs.

You can farming 3-3 and buy three script of fates and still consider that farming. I personally did many Deltas anyways (and didn't ask for handouts from my squad, I like to keep things fair) until I could craft the two cheaper level 5 tomes. Delta used to give a fair amount of money that would help you afford the tokens for the tome pages, and the chest of coins were worth something. With ra delta has become worth it again because with the 4x exp it gives like 8m exp, even without the tome frags.

Speaking of reawakening, you can almost consider your stats on the first 1-100 as throw aways since you get a free reset. You may want to stat vit on your first run through, farm some refines and shards, then go pure strength on your ra and second ra.

http://pwcalc.com/c7b56a81f7a23e95 this is my bm as of today. Working on the S3 and swapping the helm soon. And his axes http://pwcalc.com/fc4f6fc700bf1a71

sorry, a bit off-topic. I was reading this to see what is going on right now, haven't been playing for almost 2 years and have a 91 BM alt, that trying to gear up, but the question is: almost everywhere I look everybody has Heavenly Blessing of some sort, looked it up but it doesn't show what quest it comes from?
to OP: Misty Forest rings adding accuracy are not better than Bands? bands have slightly more attack and STR+Dex, but Misty give much better accuracy, which should make up for that especially in APS build with claws?

This looks like a NECRO!

Any thread over one month (30 days) old is considered to be a dead thread and you're not supposed to post in them. The person you are replying to probably doesn't care any more or can no longer be found on the forums. The topic itself could be out of date. Next time just make a new thread.

Let's see how long it takes for a mod to close this

Since most aps builds have at least 200 dex, accuracy in pve isn't really an issue, although at least one +50% accuracy ring is still recommended. Later he'll replace one with Sign of Frost: Chaos, Sky Cover, or r9 for the accuracy boost. Prices for those rings range from 20mil to 400mil, while Band costs under a mil and Misty is about 1 mil.

Comparing the two rings, Misty offers +50% accuracy while Band offers 8 more stat points, +29 more physical attack and a better refine rate. Band is grade 12 while Misty is grade 10, so it becomes much more worth it to add refines to the Band ring and get better defenses than what the Misty would give.

The Heavenly Blessing is actualy link~>The Jones Blessing which is free and gives +30 attack levels or you could get the O'malleys which gives +15 atk and +15 def. Both are redeemable repeatedly and last 1 week. pwcalc doesn't have a Jones option so people used the Heavenly Blessing icon and modify it to display as Jones or O'malley's.
