What gear to get/work on 100+?

What I currently have. What I've been wondering is what gear to get next, or even what gear to get period.

I know the 2x TT 99 Orn, Lunar cape, Warsoul and 2nd Nirvy pants will probably be recommended. However, is there any other gears that could work? Or failing that which ones to work on first?

Not going to Dump a few credit cards on the game, so would take fair amount of farming and time to get anything except the TT or Warsoul (which would still take a week or two if I had the time to try).

Would prefer someone that stays as pure Dex/Bow as possible (going to stat out that 6 Vit next Reset note sale btw)

Hi. I'm pure dex here (going to restat my 5 vit to 3 next sale too :P) and we have pretty similar gear. In fact, my gear was at one point nearly identical, though I chose to use a Misty Forest Ring for the +Accuracy over an Attendance ring. In fact, I'll link my current build for comparison purposes: Vindis

I assume you are going for maximum possible aps? Then yes, all the gear you mentioned should be your goal. I would personally swap the attendance ring for a misty forest ring (or LG ring if you can afford it; the +50% accuracy is rly nice) and engrave your rings with +str (so you can wear the warsoul and still be pure dex as it requries 117 strength) or +dex for more crit and damage. I personally use the +str from my cape to wear the helmet (You'll see my thread asking how to improve my own archer on page one or two somewhere in the forums).

If you don't opt for the aps route being sage like I am, a good belt would be from the OHT 4th map chain, either Guard of Thundershock (P def) or Paradise Satchet (m def). I am personally aiming for the satchet though your archer could use the extra physical defense being sharded full citrines.

Also, we are on the same server, so feel free to pm me for information or archer related advice.

Potential modifcations to your own archer: http://pwcalc.com/f1a90b895a205867 You would have around 6.6k hp with all gear at +5. Pretty nice tbh.

+3 isn't very hard with mirages, neither is +4, I tried to go bare minimum with the 2 soc warsoul.

PvP?

Looking at buffs, I think you're a Sage? (just confirming)

- The OHT belt is usable, I believe.

- Cape of Elite Leather is better than your current cape, and is usable until you get the Lunar cape.

- Helm of Lion Spirit would be more in spirit of your goal for pure dex. Aqua Viciousness only shines after high refines, when compared to Helm of Lion Spirit.

I would aim for at least this, it is quite reachable as a F2P person.

Next thing to work on would be(if you like to PvP)

Event ornaments
Second cast nirvana pants
Wings of Cloudcharger/Energetic Robe: Lunar Glade(depending on what you like more. Defense or interval, but in PK you use more skills then auto attack on every class except AA ones so...your choice)
Sign of Frost: Chaos
and a +10 wep.

Mooooooooo - Lost City · October 2011

You want to get full R9 +12 with JOSD.
NV helm and cape +12 with JOSD.
G16 cube neck +12.
Sky cover +12.
91+ lp genie with 4x warsong medal genie gear.

If I where you I would swap out your belt with a OHT belt (they are all pretty decent tbh but the map 4 one is the one you should really go for). I would also swap the cape for either cape of elite leather or a TM cape (69,79, your choice really wont matter the 69 cape is g9 like your current one + if your going for a aps build its a decent hold over till you get a lg one) also I would switch your attendence ring for a band from heavens jail which would let you use a better helm (warsoul or a helm of pirate is a decent place holder till you can get the extra coin imho). Just what i would if i where you

If youre into pvp and TT farming, perhaps the Ring of mastadon strength might also seem a little nice (definitely cheaper than lunar ring but at the same time inferior in the attribs we look for) since it does give a nice 30% accuracy bonus if i remember correctly. If youre not into pvp, I would suggest considering the seal of eternal solitude which gives you a good boost (7~8 dex and 7~8 vit, crit+3% and phy atk +100) and its a magic ring.

The 4th map oht belt is certainly a very good belt in combination with the sky demon's pearl, if youre looking at hp.

Well you could ping me when u do come online or i'll try contacting you. Not sure what exactly qualifies as a pure dex/bow archer in your eyes but I guess we can see what you might want.

Some comments -

Yes Sage Culti

For helemts, Warsoul would be nice, but I'd need a TM cape (79 or Lunar) to have enough str to wear it most probably. Aqua Viciosness out does both Lion Spirit and Pirate in the middle refines, plus the str req for Pirate is the same as Warsoul, so kinda pointless to use it (got one on the BM). Considered 1st stage TT Nirvy (Gives More HP than the second one, though less dex/def/crit is costs a lot less -would cost at least 2x as WS, even more for 2nd stage).

4th map seems to be the best Non Warsoul unless I want APS, though guessing at 2nd+ map belt would be better than Demon Slaughter? (still need Wave 3? iirc for map 2).

Would prefer the crit/atk/higher pdef refine of the attedence ring over a Misty (Not seeing +50% Acc making my 96-99% hit chance a lot better). CoA Ring is an interesting idea I haven't considered. Would give better attack and HP than the Lunar Ring vs some Accuracy and Defense.

Also, Pure Dex meaning not going out of my way to stat Str for fists/helms. If the Ally can wear them, it's from +str gear (which IS possible, especially so with ring engraving now).

Also considering the AMP Skill book clip (45mil + ~12mil to learn all the skills), but some really nice skills.

Badazmofo - Dreamweaver · October 2011

i personaly like the helm of pirate because of the extra dex it gives you back (since your helm will mostlikely be the peice of your gear that requires the most str you cannot stat out any str on a helm so the + dex add coushions that). And like i said a ring of heavenly lord + 6-7 str +6-7 dex will give you enough just by swapping out that 1 peice, you could also just ring engrave one of your current ones for a +7 str mod. But yeah i would also pefer a nirvy helm over a warsoul or the helm of pirate, for me those are just temp so i can farm with my archer untill i finish my bm.

Elviron - Dreamweaver · October 2011

The CoA ring is actually better than the attendance ring as well. Furthermore more dex means more attack and probably more crit (if youre close to that mark).

Now if youre getting enough STR to actually wear the warsoul helm (even if its thru accessories and engraving), there is very little difference between your so called pure dex and an archer who can use fists as well. This is because

1.) When you use a STR tome to meet the STR requirement....I use a DEX tome to increase my DEX. This would put us both on par in terms of dex and str. The advantage for me here is that, should I wish to increase by STR further for any reason, I simply need to get a STR tome. On the downside, you might lose your pre-requisite for some of your equips should you swap in a dex tome.

2.) When you choose +STR engravings on ur rings...I choose +DEX engravings. This again balances out when our equips are the same. Again the advantage here is that I can have a second set of rings with STR engravings should I need them.

3.) We both get the lunar cape for the -interval bonus and at the same time for the DEX and STR bonus. There wouldnt be any difference here.

4.) Necklace and Belts ... we both use almost the same stuff...Lion hearts set which gives +8 str bonus and -interval. Or Sky demon's pearl + OHT map 4 belt for more hp which also gives +7~8 str. The one thing you can do is use both the sky demon's pearl and lion heart's belt to gain a +7~8 dex advantage over me but then again you would be losing the -.05 interval you get when using the lionheart's necklace.

All am saying here is that, you can remain a pure dex and use fists if youre meeting the STR requirement for the warsoul of earth helm.

Below is what I have save for the CoA ring (worst case: +7 Dex and a +5 dex engraving)

Also wondering, what kind of Genie to make? Got Lucky for once and Got a 58/80 Disciple with some spare EXP, and Warsong Cubes from BH.

Currently got a okay 45/90 with Holly Path, Relentless Courage, Ab Domain and Tree of Protection. So if there are some nice skills sets that don't (really) overlap with that Genie it would be cool.

Also, nice post there Elvi

Using Asterelle's genie calculator might be a good idea:

Genie Calculator - aster.ohmydays.net/pw/geniecalculator.html - NEW VERSION (don't use IE)

Search would also be useful, but I'm bored enough to at least bullet afew skills. By no means in order, but all are useful. You should experiment with them to find out what you need. (Skills are from memory, in no particular order)

Holy Path
Extreme Poison
Frenzy (recently patched to Enrage)
Absolute Domain
Expel
Cloud Eruption
Stunning Blast (archer only)

^^ Skills worth looking into. Mayve Lawbreaker too if you have trouble with seals and Mire is also decent for BoA pulls.

well im 101 sage archer im still running a cape of elite leather . but all my other gear is rank 8 or tt99 .

tt99 arms and legs gives me 0.1 +0.05 attack from the 2 piece bonus .

tt99 heavy necky and belt gives good physical defence that increases with refines.

2x pieces of tt99 heavy gives another 0.05 attack rate bonus too which is kinda nice.

helm wise im useing warsal of the earth but will be changing to a nirvana when i have the coin as it takes less str .

im looking at a lunar energetic robe for the adds that inc the 0.05 attack speed.

ring wise i favour the rank 8 ring with a band of heavens jail which give me both str and dex adds the str i need to ware my helm and went refined it adds physical defence and added dex is always nice to have.

Im currently using rank 8 legs too(9dex is nice) but i do also have some tt99 which i intend to change to nirvana in the end .

I have 2 difrent tomes i also use one has 10 str which makes using my ff fists possible and with this set up ive a crit rate of 34% and 450 dex

or i use a 15 dex tome usualy if in TW or pking which pushes my dex to 480 with the adds from my bow and a crit rate of 36%.

rank 9 gears is nice but after looking into it carefully i would loose a large amount of speed if i was to get it there for other than the extremly high expense i will be sticking to my current set up but may looking in too the rank 9 ring and weapon .

but saying this im also considering a nirvana sling shot too at a later date and reforging antill i get a nice speed add on it .

but from your question as to what next i myself woulds suggest you get the tt99 heavy necky and belt .

and remeber if you get the 99 legs to make nirvana if you dont have taylor lvl 6 or above dont equipe them antil you have them made because they will be bound.

Did a few things since last post and had an idea to head towards: http://pwcalc.com/5033b595c1a1a1a0

Saw some cheap Vanities in a shop, and thinking about how to wear them got my a cheap Str tome. Now, will probably swap out to another tome later than gives more than +str when I get said gear;

Warsoul helm isn't too pricey and with a +str tome I can go get it whenever without worrying if I can wear it.

TM 79 Cape: People still do these on DW time to time ~9-12mil for an -int cape is rather nice, and being G10 I can get it 4 socket guaranteed (have more than enough Socket stones lying around even if it turns out 2 socket).

TT 99 Ornaments: Fairly self explanatory, more APS, Crit and Patk is always nice.

Also, made my new Disciple a Dex based Genie With : Holy Path, Extreme Poison, Tree of Protection, Expel, and just through on level 1 Windshield. Probably a better skill for a genie than Windshield, but not sure what to get.

(Ofc the Vanities are just there as you should already know what my Bow looks like)

What gear to get/work on 100+?
