True, but when was the last time that you tried to block fire monster attacks?
Yea, but at level 95, the Scrumptious Bora'jee unlocks. It costs around 270 SP to use, and it heals you by the same amount that a Heal Deep Wounds Heals.
Lord Arrgthas is probably the only Ice monster that you'll ever need the Icefall for. Of course, if your stats were better trained, you'd have no problem against him. Just try to use an armor with only 1-2 hits.
Glad to see your character is coming along.

UIK: I just didn't know that lol XD
Scrumptious Bora'jee? >.> <.< I'll look it up... >.<;;;;; (So many new things that I don't know about lol)
Icefall: I'll just keep it until I can get more ubers or a better armor. No point selling an armor you use occasionally if you're not going to replace the slot. It has low sellback anyway ;P
Yeah my stats are getting there. I'm probably going to try to get another uber set before the armors are updated, but we'll see. If I can't I'm going to put the money towards stats and finishing up my spell slots. I've been thinking about getting the golden set (for spellcasting, and keeping nemesis for good offense/defense) but I wanted your opinion about what to do. Should I keep nemesis and get golden? Or should I focus on something else? Should I sell nemesis for something else, since I CAN in fact finish the quests? Of course if the armors are updated I'll probably just save up for 120 and maybe get like... the ubear set or gilded plate (if it's updated to 90) or something for the climb there. I dunno. I suppose that would depend on how long it takes to hit 120 XD. What's your take?

I say you should keep your Nemesis Set. During the armor sweep, it'll be upgraded to a level 105 armor, along with the other uber sets.
The Golden Plate has 55% for all of the elements while the Nemesis Plate has 75% for 4 elements and 65% for the other 4. Your Nemesis Plate will do quite nicely for defense until you get the golden plate next.
Plus I don't think stats are that expensive. Most of your current equipment will do for now, you may want to start slowly training up your stats.
And to reach level 120, you'll need something like...well right now my level 104 has 22 million exp. With 2 million exp per level and 16 levels, he has to get about 48 million exp to get to level 120. Think you can do it?
Oh, your next uber should be the Shadow Cloak. Then start to fill up your inventory before going after another uber armor. Take your time with getting Uber armors. They aren't going to be necessary with the sweep coming. There'll be other armors with the same level of power.

Really? Shadow cloak? I get the shield, but what's so fancy about the cloak itself? Not that I'm second guessing you, just would like to know your reasoning  |

Shield's useless you're going after darkness monsters such as Undead Xyphos.
Cloak's used for it's darkness defense- 50%. It's used as an armor to attack in after you've finished spamming spells. On average, it deals more damage than the Nemesis Plate.

So... wouldn't golden be better for spellcasting? (For higher defense?) You'll have to bear with me here, I started this game when I was like 8 and I never played it very seriously, so I'm pretty slow on the uptake Oh and in regards to being able to get to 120. I have a level 100 solo priest in maplestory. I have some patience with grinding for hours Ah one more question. Should I stick with my stats being equal str and int with slightly lower dex and a small amount of end? or should I do something else? My current plan is, at lvl 120, Str/int: 200 dex: 150 end: 50. Do I want to do that? Oh and when/if do I want to pick up the ubear set? (You'll have to forgive me, I like the full set bonus I'm a nut for stuff like that. If it's not worth it then... well... I can handle the truth lol) |

Well Shadow Cloak can be used to spell spam against darkness monsters and it can be used as a source of offense.
Regarding the level 100 priest in maple. Private Servers > Official Servers. :]
Your stat plan seems good for a power hybrid.
You can pick up the ubear set. The Shield has the best fire defense in the game. The Weapon, well you should get it because it's the top fire weapon in game. The armor IIRC is stronger than the Asgardian plate by a few points of damage per turn. It's fire and energy defenses are good, but everything is bad. Kinda like the Ancient Fire/Energy Dragonthe Form. They're the top damaging armor in the game witih 550% B/R. The Energy one is a bit more accurate anyways.
Oh just fyi, the new Brilliant Beam Saber from the new quest beats the Golden Axe untriggered by a few points now.

ah yes, but it hurts the user in some way yes? At least that's what I'd heard... Ah and my point was that I had the patience to do it on the regular server lol. My guild (i.e. my friends) all play the regular server, and some are very pious and self-righteous about it lol. I personally could care less, I just use it as a chat program with other things to do XD. Oh and since I don't think I'll be getting enough money for the golden axe soon I'm going to get a custom weapon and sell Raynar's superior (because 8-29 beats 8-26 anyday ). As I understand higher base>higher rand when it comes to uber sets yes? So arcanium>shadowsteel. I'll snag the clear gem if I see it . |

The Power Hybrid has higher damage output at the cost of a little accuracy and blocking. Meh, I quit playing on the regular server at levle 17 cause my comp was too bad to handle it. But my laptop works just fine  Well I'm not exactly the best person to talk to about the Custom Weapon since I've never used it before. I'm not exactly sure about which is better the arcanium or shadowsteel. Sorry. |

I meant the new weapon. The new light one. There's some downside to it isn't there?
The blade of the custom weapon determines its damage. Arcanium does 8-29 Shadowsteel does 6-32. Higher base is better yes?

According to the Encyclopedia post, you can switch the weapon's form between a dagger and a sword. The sword form does 110% more damage but there's a 9.1% damage backlash. The Dagger form does 50% damage with no backlash and after the special occurs, you'll be healed by 100% of the damage done.
I'm not exactly sure about whether higher base or higher random is good. But since you have 0 luck, it''ll take a long time for you to find the parts. Just go with which ever one you find first.

I have shadowsteel now, but I'm going for a perfect handle (15% bth) with a clear gem (no special), so if I find an arcanium somewhere in there I'll get it. Otherwise I'll stick with shadowsteel. It's actually decent training too, which surprised me o.o.
Out of curiosity do you Random Battle grind, or do you go somewhere special to train?

Alright good luck with getting the weapon.
On my Pure Mage, I just go to Random Adventure or Fairwind Springs since I don't have to change equipment.
On my BeastWarrior, I either farm at Nightbane's Fortress or the Dark Orb Quest.

Oh, just a little update on the new set.
Weapon is water and magic. The more you hit, it gains less Bth but gains more damage. The more you miss, it gains less damage but more Bth.
Shield, if you click on it, it heals your HP and MP for a SP cost.
Armor- you can either attack or focus. Focus skips your turn and you get 9% healing. Focus 5 times, and your next attack will be ~ 3200% B/R/S IIRC.

. Oh and I'm really glad I got the floss candy spear. It's godly o.o.
