zaqen-> well i already have +4int/wit -8men +4con -4str as my dye setup and i'm not willing to change it. i respect your suggestion but i dont like the idea of further reducing cast speed just to increase matk.
anyway, i already have 1700+ matk with herb of magic, and around 1500 if emp1 only, and i'm content with that.
also, since i have a clan(participating in clan wars) i think my setup is good for both pve and pvp.
another thing, our server is only x2, so i cant afford to buy/carry 2 sets of equip(one for pve, another for pvp). you know how economy goes in low rate servers right?

anyway, SoL was as good as everybody told me here.
i can kill mobs within 2-3 hits so its perfect.
but i was a pain in the ass to go there, but the exp there is very nice.

FOD is still in my choices for exping.
i tried to exp in the vampires there, but i need a "holy weapon" buff for them to be killed in 2hits.
and i went solo at night there, it was good but got mobbed, good thing i always have elixir of life

I thought most vampires got slightly strong pdef, it was my fave exping ground til then.
But I wouldn't go there with SH, coz the are dark resist and for pve-ing 1x mobs I'd go for death spike.

Well if u want to get the Demon set + high C-grade + Magical power it would cost about 10kk if u bought it all from the luxury plus the quest for demon gloves, so it's not that expensive if you compare with making an Avadon robe.
Well I've never really found a great farming spot in FoD, there are spots which are quite good but there aren't enough mobs to farm for a SH in one place which makes it inefficient.

Anyway, when you do make a DC robe set and a SoM, make sure you head for Isle of Prayer at once (lvl 74 works just fine), there are plenty of 1x hp mobs around there which you can farm up until lvl 85 without a problem. At lvl 79 you can fafrm anywhere basicly, empowering echo surely is awesome.

lhyno-> well i'm still using hurricane as my main attack, well cuz using it is much "cheaper". i know that the bones can be bought at hardin's but some dumb CL have put a tax rate of 20% in giran so basically, the price of the bones have increased, and i dont know necro who will use their skill to summon the bones WITHOUT SCAMMING me. you see, scamming is quite famous in our server
anyway, it's a way for me to have an easy earning so that i can buy a full DC set which costs about 120m in our server.
about the vampires, i dont want to exp in them again!!
my hurricane does more damage than shadow flare, even with seed of wind or holy weapon.
i thought skills that changes you atkr attribute changes every element of your nukes, but i guess i was wrong and found out the hard way.

zaqen-> i already have avadon set and i would prefer to go straight to DC set than to go back to c-grade demon set.
