Equipment Cost

[zarcoft]

I recently got 2mil gil from a friend who got me into the game and I was told with 2mil gil you can have the best equipment for a drg per lvl up to about 60 is this true? And I been thinking about trying out drk maybe and I was told it may be cheaper to equip over drg is that true?

Thank you in advance

Re: Equipment Cost

Well, on my server:

Valkyrie's mask ~ 800,000
Enkelados's Bracelets ~ 1,300,000
Jaridah Peti ~ 200,000
Assault Earring ~ 800,000
Grand Knight's Lance ~ 300,000
Life Belt ~ 200,000

Misc gear ~ 200,000 (this is counting +str rings, neck, amemet mantle, etc)

So total gear, AT level 60, would be about 3,800,000

This does not take into account food, and any other gear needed to get to level 60.

I'd say that you would spend about.... No more than another 500,000 in gear and food just to reach level 60, not counting the price of the above gear, some of which you can get before lvl 60.

Re: Equipment Cost

Thats not a lot, mages pay for their spells, food and snacks.
Scorp harness seems to be a popular item since theives and ninjas also use it at that level.

Re: Equipment Cost

The prices have come down a bit, and without going crazy you can get a decent Attack/STR + Sushi build for under 2mil.

Weapon: GK Lance or Schwartz Lance
Head: Walkure Mask
Body: Jaridah Peti (+5 ACC and ATK beats +10 ACC and EVA for a sushi build)
Hands: AF Gloves (nothing wrong with making your wyvern more accurate!), possibly RSE depending on race, Jaridah hands, one of the lower level Giga-bracelets, good ol' Battle Gloves
Legs: Republic Subligar(+2 version) or the +1 version
Feet: AF Boots, possibly RSE depending on hands.
Waist: Life Belt, Sword Belt+1 (or regular)
Rings: 2x Sun Rings (if you're using sushi, Sniper/Woodsman are overkill)
Earrings: 2x Spike (+2 ACC from the Assault Earring is unnoticable)
Back: Jaeger or, if you have the CP and rank, the level 55 Sandorian mantle, which you can buy regardless of allegiance if your city is in first)
Ranged: Nothing really.

Basically, there's enough variation swing to swing that its really hard to see the difference between good gear and very good gear. You only really see a clear difference comparing good gear to godly gear, and even then it's usually the difference between killed and over-killed. I partied with 2 DRGs around level 63 vs birds in Bibiki Bay. One had a Scorp Harness and other nice gear. The other was wearing the full DRG AF. There wasn't any real noticable difference that you could tell unless you were running a parser. The mobs died, we got chain 5.

It's great to have good gear, and it's a good goal to have, but there aren't many pieces of gear that'll make you go "Whoa!" and really notice a difference.
