Help with gear - returning player

Hey guys, so I returned a little while and I just got to 200+ with a new archer (Ranger3>Scwarzer) and while my cafrisun armor is still fine I was wondering what I should aim for next. I tried Google but couldn’t find suggestions for anything other then weapon choice. Also if anyone has gem/ card suggestions too is appreciate it.

Manahas set = upgraded version of Cafrisun

Virtov set = lvl 270 gear

Lolopanther ET set = legendary 270 gear

Solmiki set = 330 legendary gear.

He said he just got back so I dont think suggesting things such as Manahas set is a realistic goal for him.

To OP, bet you are low on silver. So when you hit 315, grab yourself some blue hunting ground 315 gears as a start. They are cheap now and seems a more realistic goal for you. Same as with pistol.

For long term goal, dont bother with lolopanther gears anymore.

Start cards with 3x Ellaganos cards (green slot)

Purple slot put atleast 1-2 gazing golem

Red gems (level 5 or 6) for pistol

Green gems on crossbow

Aim these for now. :slight_smile:

wouldn’t it be better if he uses green gems on pistol and red/yellow gems on crossbow?
Offhand gives way more critrate than mainhand, while mainhand gives more critattack/maximum attack on yellow/red gems.

don’t go for 6 star gems, they are a trap; rather go for either 5 stars or 7/8 stars directly, as it will be pitiful if you’ve got to remove the 6 star gems later on once you’ve got a better gem, which will result in it becoming a 5 star gem (not worth the trouble/investment if you ask me, as 5 star gems can be created [via the Superior Gem Abrasives that are frequently seen as event prizes] or farmed in Demon Prison District 2 without much trouble) as you can easily advance from 5 star to 7 star (7 star costs roughly 2 - 3 times as much as a 6 star gem [~4-5m on my server], so it’s achievable within a certain timeframe).

Get Sissels/Phada for accessories, as long as you have a Thaumaturge, you can even farm both accessories in one day (I made 2 Sissels from scratch within roughly 6 hours by farming everything except for the Sissel Recipes themselves).
Necklace is Max Petamion, obviously.

Armor should be either 315 magic armor or level 220 Keyarc set, which is enough until you got the 315 Vienti Kaulas set one day. No idea if Solmiki armor would be even worth the trouble, after all SR isn’t that good for the new content but rather a farming character.

Why? the most mobile ranged attack Class doesn’t need this. He can just avoid knockdowns/knockbacks by leaving the AoE actively. Not putting Biteregina here is a huge disadvantage regarding the damage capabilities. Better equip 3 Biteregina + 3 Velnia Monkey cards, to have a high chance for 30% additional damage per attack, as SR is an autoattacking Class with Aspd focus rather than STR.

No, red gems are way better in Off-hand because they give true physical atk instead of max atk like when they are put in main hand. And green gems in off hand is not way more, it’s only a little more, an amount that not justify the switch.

Because have a lot of bosses in this game that love to spam AoE knockback attacks, and every knockback that you takes mean that you are not shooting the boss, some examples are Hauberk, the own Gazing golem, Raphene, a lot of Demon Lords and so on.

Hi

Always red om offhand pistol

He is a returning player hence the simple suggestions I made.

I main SR and i do use bitteregina. Depending on server demand, i am guessing he cant afford it yet

Lv6 gems is not a trap for his case. It is a good level gem for him that can serve him a long time. If he is going to put it in a 315 hg pistol or manamana, why bother taking it out anyway

You will always want to have atleast 1 gazing golem even as a mobile class like SR. Being mobile doesnt mean being invulnerable to Ko/knockbacks which is annoying. Knockbacks = no AA = means less dps

If i made a suggestion to him without considering he is a new player returning, i could have just told him to go straight get solmiki set :slight_smile:

Hey guys, thanks to everyone for helping out. I appreciate both the better gear suggestions, as well as what I can aim for while on a budget. I have about 5 mil silver right now (which I know isn’t a lot in the grand scheme of things xD), I also have a +8 manamana, my crossbow isn’t that great though atm but it’s decent and I’m not having any trouble progressing. I’m definitely going to go over everyone’s suggestions and figure out the best course of action, I didn’t even know any armor set names so this has been extremely helpful. It can be overwhelming returning to all this new stuff after 2 years of not playing.

@twkofrank @adrian.agulto.rn @ReportofAusterity @Valfor Thank you so much for the help, I really appreciate it :smiley:

what’s good about Virtov set? it seems pretty lame

I just wish Manahas was easier to find

Welcome! Just do what you want and enjoy the game hahah :wink:

Oh yeah I definitely just do what I find fun xD no point in playing a game if you’re not having fun haahaa. I was also just very confused coming back as I haven’t played since around beta and it seems a lot has changed, and a lot of the sources I find online don’t seem to be up to date. I was a bit overwhelmed, but I’m definitely having fun and can’t wait to try out a bunch of builds :smiley: I was hoping eventually my Scwarzer Reiter could be my farmer and help fund my other classes, as my only higher level character at the moment is a full con linker2>chrono3. I heard SR was ideal for farming but even if not I’m really enjoying the gameplay.

Just buy blue/purple set at lvl 270/315 and wait for next big patch. At this moment farm for new gears.

Focus on the 315 Crit leather set, its kinda cheap, proly 1-2m the complete set

Virtov plate gives u decent hp and thats it. its good enough for u to survive solmiki floors.

Many do say that SR is only a farming char. While I main it and I do find it difficult to be top dps in ranking even with decent gearing, I play it because I just enjoy it’s gameplay. :slight_smile:

If you want to try farming with it, you gave 2 options which will mainly depend on your ping:

You could go for a 200 dex total if you have high ping

Or

Just go full dex and not worry about anything lol

@adrian.agulto.rn when I check in game I get about .02… - .06… I was going to go 200 Dex and the rest strength but do you think the ping is okay for that? And yeah I’m really enjoying the gameplay of this character, mounted archer is super fun :smiley: I know people say its a boring character a lot but i’ve really been enjoying it.

@soldatazur @mathias_cronquist @twkofrank thanks for the suggestions guys :smiley: it also looks like the market is very sparce in terms of equips on orsha, so I will also have to keep in mind what’s easily available on market or farmable too (probably easier on my wallet to farm it anyway xD). I just got peta necklace recipe though and was able to craft it In anticipation of eventually upgrading to max peta. Thank you again everyone for the tips :smiley:

there are better plate gear, like Krisius which gives pretty nice HP and huge def for a cheap price~

You have excellent ping mate! I think the best for you is go full dex

Yeah mounted archer that pistols everything pew pew. I am not sure if you are SR3 yrt but when you do, dont forget to get Limacon’s attribute (costs around 1.7m i think). Makes you hit 2 enemies close together

And just in case, dont forget that normal attack is different with the Z subweapon attack button… (i made this mistake and was like a wtf moment for me when i was new lol)

Ofcourse, Virtov is mid tier gear for rank 7. I just mentioned it because it’s easy to get.

I agree, it’s a nice item.

Krisius would proly be more than just “nice” at +11 lel
