IMPORTANT!
When you turn a weapon into an Ego, it reverts to BASE STATS OF THE WEAPON! If you ego an r1 crafted or a store-bought common, the ego will be identical.
Save your good weapons for regular upgrades. Donryu.
Look dragons horde things whether or not they're of particular value.
but it comes out of a pool of currency that is relatively useless, barring a few practical accessories for VIP subscribers, the occasional novelty, and a couple of priceless long-term acquisitions if you are completely insane.The inventory bags only need Inventory Plus, and a few months ago they made Inv+ free for everyone, so anyone can use them! And everyone should use them!
In particular, the potion bag is incredibly useful. Anyone into blacksmithing (ie, everyone in B12) will appreciate an ore bag. Firewood bags are also pretty damned useful for everyone - campfires are supremely underrated in general!
No one hear seems to have considered the super-cheap, equally combat-efficient alternative: Fomor Wands!
Commerce may take a while to work up to the point of self-sufficiency, but once you get yourself a wagon along with an extra 50k ducats for future expenses, you're practically set- a much lower than what you might face when budgeting yourself gold, frankly. Not only does the expense in funny-money mitigate the drain on gold (which can be put to many a better use), but it comes out of a pool of currency that is relatively useless, barring a few practical accessories for VIP subscribers, the occasional novelty, and a couple of priceless long-term acquisitions if you are completely insane.
P.S.
Krisslanza,
If you're worried about looking cliche as an elven gunner, why not invest in a gamyu Robe to help you stand out?
Well i'm still kinda sad that i took a giant.
Should have made a human Sword'n'board guy with a venom sword.
I could also wear self made armor without 10 years of BS grinding BS.
Not to mention that Jousting Javelins get a MASSIVE +400 or something to min and max attack.
I've wanted to make a giant, equipped in hand-crafted red heavy armor, using Throwing Attack and named RED CANNON.
Elves are better with bows. They can shoot 2 arrows per shot and have elf only quivers. They also have high int per level and lower mp cost in advance magics. There's also the elf hide ability, cost mp and drop aggro instantly.
The also make awesome fighters because of fast movement speed.
As I'm training blacksmithing, if you take Human mainly I can pimp your gold plate mail.
Well themed character is okay I suppose, but yeah magic knuckles soon! Hopefully someone will be able to make a set for you!
Also good to know on the elf int growth.
I'll keep saying it, stop being so worried about AP, you can keep a secondary set of knuckles for when things get hairy, and once you get up to speed in close combat you can carry two sets of armor about.
And guns scale off strength and int, elves get the best dex, their only magic buff is that ice spear cost is lowered, I forget if their Int growth is higher. Technically the best gunner out of the gate would be giants but they also get greatly reduced int. Looks like it'd be fine for every race.
EDIT: Oh also, WE KILLED A YETI. The only notable thing that dropped was a snowfield L rod with bold on it, which gives some strength for stomp ranks. Given we have one active giant in the guild well yes. He was kind've a pushover, 4 people took him out, Don, Bariaus, Direzie, and Acolyte0. Guild field boss runs wooooooo (no I didn't think to get any pictures I'm sorry)
