Merchant Class Lvl 46 - Stat Help

[lizzifer]

Hey there everyone!
I'm having a bit of trouble leveling my merchant, I know they're hard work, and I don't begrudge that...
In fact I enjoy the challenge!
I'm just a little stuck on what to do with my stats, AGI doesn't really affect attack speed as much as other classes, ect.
So what would you suggest?

At the moment (now don't scoff, I just got tired of getting hit by zombies and bats and other annoying fast things)
STR 11 + 2
AGI 71 + 1
VIT 1 + 3
INT 1 + 2
DEX 2 + 4
LUK 1

I've been trainging in Payon lvl 1 because I just seem to get pooned everywhere else, regardless of how I pump my stats...
Thank you for any help and advice!

Equipment helps...

other than that have you tried Poison Mushrooms yet??

In Geffen Dungeon I use it as a midway point between Payon and Orc

[lizzifer]

I have:-
Puppy Headband
Padded Armour
Tsurugi
+5 Guard
Angelic Hood
2 x Glove

I will give the Poison Spores a try, thank you for your suggestion Guardian Lord =)

Orc Dungeon is a viable option as well. Just remember to bring meat along and you should be okay.

Hrrm, you really need more str and you should probably get vit instead of agi (agi is nice, but if you're mobbing it's less useful).  And yeah, at that level any first-job-class character which has mob killing skills should go to poison spores (swordsman, merchant... idk about other ones, but I always take swordy and merchant there at that level)

make one archer, get fire arrows, go to geos, and leech your merchant up.
merchants are so boring to lv the fastest way is the leeching way

A possibility is to throw more STR and VIT in there, and fill up your cart with "junk"
(Bottles, left over loot. Anything to increase the weight to maximum.)

Edit: The reason to get your cart's weight up, is because the damage of Cart revolution is effected by
your STR/Attack, and the currect weight of your cart.

And Mob Poison spores with Cart revolution.
That's how I got my Merchant to an Alchemist on iRO.

Oh yeah... I forgot to mention that.  I find Empty Bottles to be pretty good;  I think 4000 of them fill your cart completely, and wouldn't cost much (it's just a couple of zeny per bottle, I think) - I don't know which NPCs carry them, but I do know there's one in the southern part of Amatsu (I believe it would be the Milk Merchant).

Yep i'd do what Axle said, cart revo owns if used the right way. i on the other hand have mvp gears to lvl my merchant so my case is different

The Alchemist NPC in Northern Prontera sells them as well.

And southern Alberta.

Go to Lighalzen, buy flowera for 1 zeny each, put them in your cart @_@
