Ah but you see, that's the thing. I have little more than 30 minutes to spend in-game each day on maximum.
I really hate that I have other things to do than be in-game.
You spend 5x that amount on the forums whining about not having money though. Makes no sense.
Don't be mean. I'm in college, and I can only access the forums, since the game is blocked here, so...
I sell cakes at 3.3k and overcharge sapphires at 3.3k so around the same amount of zeny like 33k a day? I have yet to find a HP willing to party with me for loots.
Lol, if you use ImageShack QuickShot, it doesn't save the aRO watermark.
I'm sorry, but 33k in 30 minutes is pretty bad. :/ Simply steal+killing blue herbs at the Ygg tree will give you about 60-90k in ten minutes. >.<
Wow, a Garm coat. o_o Nice. :3 Still, it doesn't stop Decrease Agi or Curse, and Shadow attacks will rape you. As far as I can tell, Garm armor outshines others when your defense is high enough that elemental attacks won't rip right through you when you're wearing Deviant.
The rest of your gears, like the Axe, and Circlet do almost nothing for your survivability, though they're probably useful in other situations.
You'd do better to get a Silencing Padded Armour+Armour Charm Combo instead, it works far better. They're both VERY easy to acquire. Just post a buying thread, I'm sure plenty of people have unused ones lying around. The same goes for the Bone Helm and Fortune Sword. These are items that people ignore in favour of Kahos and Brys and whatnot, but they're very handy and useful for people who aren't at that level yet. [The Bone Helm increases damage from Shadow attacks, but since you're silencing them, you can wear it safely.]
The Opera Masque can be made in five to ten minutes. Look up the thread on makeable headgears for the quest. All the ingredients can be easily bought or farmed. It's an easy +2 def, and it occupies slots you're not using right now.
It'd be better if you took those points from LUK and put them in AGI instead. As your level increases, you'll have passable flee too, which helps ever so slightly, as long as you make sure never to stop moving while you mob.
Also, you really can't mob without SOME kind of shield to use, even if it's not a Tirfing. I'd suggest getting a Khalitz to start with. PCbot says there's one going for 750k in Pront right now, which is affordable enough for something which reduces damage from everything in there other than Dullahans by 30%.
Your second accessory should ideally be a SR clip, but could be anything you think is useful, like that Tele clip you're wearing. I chose to wear a Safety Ring instead, since it adds +3 def, and I happened to have one lying around. I don't think it'd cost much more than a couple of hundred k.
Obviously, getting these things is going to cost you 2-3mil, or possibly even more if you go for overupped gears to put things like Khalitz/Tirfing in.[Which I highly recommend, by the way; every point of DEF counts!] You could use the blue herb method I mentioned, which is boring, but far more effective than what you're doing now. The simplest thing to do would be to just use whatever ads you have stocked up [even 2-3 would suffice to get you started, and it barely takes a week or two to get that]. Once you get started, and begin earning money, you can improve your gear set, by trading in your stuff for overupped things, and replacing Khalitz with a Tirfing, getting an SR clip, and so on.
Then there's the matter of finding someone to party with. When I played, I made a note of which priestess would be on at which time, and PM them accordingly. I'm not sure what you should do, though. Perhaps post something in the party recruitment thread? Or ask your friends if they know someone who fits the bill, or something like that. I really don't know.
Erm....yeah, that's about it. x_x
Omg long post. Should we move this to PMs?
