Full r9 with +12 wep. If you couldn't solo Snake with that kind of gear, I would really wonder.

do you have to be negative? there r people out there who say that clerics cant solo it at all. i only made this post to show that even clerics with high lag and part Dot and citrines can run it, because someone insisted that it wasnt possible. this post was made to prove the point for all clerics alike, not for personal pride. im not trying to impress anyone, get it?

please be a nice person for once.

With what gear and genie?

i think hes saying he enjoys soloing on his lvl80 cleric, and that his 104 cleric can solo nob and pole

dont think its possible for a lvl80 cleric to solo nob and pole unless u got like full +10, WoC or matchless cape, and a puzzle cube/warsong belt or something lol

Nice pics and congrats! b:victory

To be honest snakefist is not really that difficult to solo- i've had to do it a few times when rest of party just couldnt stay alive. (Dang random WC parties b:beatenup)

yea it should be easier for most people. the point of the post was mainly to show that if i could do it, a lot of clerics with lower lag and better sharding/refines could do it even better, because some people still dont think clerics can do anything alone in this game.

Gratz on your achievement. I have a quick question, and if you'd rather not answer, I completely understand. Did you get your R9/+10-12 refines using real $ or did you make it in-game? The reason I ask is that I've got a daughter in college and another getting ready to start and I can barely justify spending $20 on the game, let alone the $2,000+ it would take to fully CS the gear. If you managed to make it in-game, then there's a ray of hope for my poor cleric. Otherwise he will be forever doomed to mediocrity. ty

i did CS a lot of my gears, but (assuming you wont play a sin to go farm money) it is still very possible to farm full r9. i used to farm a lot and since i dont CS no more, i have to do so again. here are my ideas for farming if you cannot afford r8 or TT99...

i typed this whole post up and it accidently got all deleted QQ, so im gona type a shorter version.

first thing you want to do is to get to lvl100. the best way to make money along the way is by opening TTs for 50-75k each, and buy few gear upgrades along they way. for example, TT80 green is not that good because it has many separate magic def bonuses on different armor pieces, so you can even go as far as completely skipping that set.

once lvl100, here are things you can do daily:
BH#1, gives roughly 600k/ day, +talisman and key. bh squads are easy to find if you just monitor WC someone will invite you, and for BH usually they dont care too much about your gear. 30minutes.
BH#2, talisman and key, i believe. if you are stacked properly, half the time one bh#1 will overlap with Bh#2 also, so you save 30minutes.
Cube, 500k from page of fate and other items. 30min-1hour
opening caster nirvy. you have one free talisman and 2 from BHs. 250k per open during 1x. total 750k. save time, dont stare at WC waiting for someone to ask for openers. go leisure activity, and join an opening squad when you see one.
open regular nirvy. you have 3 free keys, +2 from bhs, 150k per open during 1x. total 750k.

assuming you spend 200k a day on repairs, mana, maintenance fees, that is 2.4mil a day. the above takes about 2 hours total.

now instead if you run a caster nirvy, that is roughly 30minutes for 1mil (a net increase of cash flow of >700k during 1x). if you are lucky enough to find a squad of like 2 sins and a bm or something for regular nirvy, thats another 1mil an hour for you, including openers and key loss.

this means you get at least an average of 4.1mil a day simply with morai/TT90 gears, in about 3.5hours. in a little over a year, you can get enough to buy a full set of r9 (if you think it should take under 1year to farm the best set of armor in the game, think again). remember that this is all during a 1x, and once you get your r8 and stuff, dungeons will be much faster, and it will be a heck easier to find a squad that you wont die in. i am only estimating the low end of how much you could be making.

you can also join a TW faction and collect dividends for helping them win TWs every week. and if you want to take a break from everything, go run a delta. you dont have to do much just sit in a bubble most of the time, and if you are successful, you get like 1.5mil a run. preferably have TT99 weapon at least, and 5k hp if you want to run full deltas.

the hardest part is probably to not spend your money. a friend suggested to me to put money into the bank every time i exceed 1mil. if you are too tempted to withdraw the money when you need it though, you can do wat i do. whenever i exceed 5mil i buy some gold pieces from the AH, and let it accumulate. its a lot harder for the temptation to take the best of you if your savings lies in a different currency than that of which you wish to spend it in.

i hope this helps. and i know when i said "shorter version" you probably laughed and wondered how long my other version was. im glad you didnt have to see that...
