Every class uses meat and grape juice. The amount of meat and grape juice used decreases with your skill level.
The reason i picked Crusader is because of it's set up. You don't need to have Eddga card because of Endure Skill. You can still solo, and party just like a wizard or a rouge.
You have more HP then either of those classes, with no Vit added. And you must agree HP is nice. Yes, it can get a bit boring but what doesn't?
Besides. What are you saying, your Wiz with no gears can tank and kill better, faster and more monsters then a Crusader can? Or do you use less grape juice per the same amount of exp? In the end run does it really matter how much GJ you used? You don't need to have great IC gears like you do wit ha wiz. Or the phen card.
About the rouge. Yes. Rouge is a good class. Low end on gears. Doesn't use a lot of supplies. At all. I would say it's one of the cheapest characters to use when you talk pot wise. It's got the nice skill copy move, so you can learn BB, or SG and mob. And I have to admit. I completely forgot about that skill. And you could make a skill memo + mob work, it would just be easier with a crusader then a Rouge. With a rouge you have to bring: Meat, Gj, Lot of Vit for health, and then the stats to make your leveling build work. For a crusader you can just set 99 int, 50 on str, and the rest on dex. Not to mention that the cast time of a lvl 10 Grand Cross is shorter than any other kind of magic skill. And lets pick the most loved/hated map. Niff.
At niff a crusader can make aprox. 300k /30 mins by picking up loots from its mobs. A single GC can kill 1 dullahan even if its poorly stated. Unlike a wiz, who can only make 100k / 30 mins. at the same level. Wizards Usually SW and SG. If they leave the comfort of the SW they die. Thats how it works with less than 2k HP. With a rouge it's easier then with a wiz. But still the ability to kill and heal of a crusader makes it just that much better and quicker.
The low end gear thing being 10m. Thats retarded. Low end gears for a crusader are under 1m easy. Lets see
Head gear. Any. Usually Helm [4]
Mid. Usually fin helm
Lower. Usually Chain
Armor: Pupa/Lori Ruri Padded armor
Shield: High Orc Shield/Guard
Muff: Orc Zombie Muff
Shoes: Anything Really. Some HP adding card on shoes.
Accessory: That item that gets bonus to padded armor. Armor charm
2nd Acessory: Anything. Clip [1] with no card even. For the SP
I don't see how this ads up to being 10m. Do you? Unless there was a recent price spike i wasn't aware of.
The only thing i can agree with that you have stated is that rouges are a good class to start with. Low on meat and GJ, and can gain mob skills. Can steal and make money. Great to start. It would still take longer then a GC sader imo. Besides. He had already made a crusader. Me and my friends (and anyone else he might know already) are slowly trying to help him out. He's got a sader. He's got the basics of the skills and gears. And i did suggest to him to make a rouge just for cake hunting, and to be his second character in case he gets bored with a sader.
But thanks for shutting down the most powerful nub class. Lets see you do 1/2 the things a sader can do with any other class and same gears as a sader.
