I dunnnooo. That's what I was pretty sure all of my guildies were doing when they fought Zakum daily. Seeing as Zakum Helms give some odd number of Charm upon equip.

Yeah. I didn't want to waste the legend coins on it, though.

Thank you kindly, good sir. It might take me a long ass while to gather the skill books I need, as well as level. But hey, it'll be done eventually.

Which special skill book did you take for reaching level 70?

Dual Bowgun Expert, as I view it as being the most important 4th job skill. IMO, the second most important to max would be Ancient Warding (that extra 1.5k HP boost at master helps a crap ton [as well as the boosted avoid chance for Ignis]).

I see. Well you picked a smart one. Expert is the most damage increase out of all the fourth job skills. However, Warding is one of the most necessary, if not they most necessary, due to it's extreme usefulness in the form of the huge boost in HP (who wants to pot instantly after one hit? Not me!) as well as 20% extra stance. My build was:

120: 1 Ring, 1 Moonsault, 1 Warding
121: 1 Spear, 1 Defense Break, 1 AFA
122-132: Warding
132-140: Moonsault
140-present: Expert

been playing Extalia MS ... a private server. The server is probably European so I lag hard :< It's 8x exp with Mercedes.

The main site does tell the time in GMT. :| Though just about every private server lags so very hard.

I agree that Warding is very important, but DBE was the most important for me. Not only does it come with a passive weapon attack increase, but the mastery stabilizes your damage by quite a bit (which you undoubtedly knew). Overall, your DPS will be higher mainly due to the mastery.

I will definitely want to master Warding as soon as possible after DBE, but where I am training it is not really needed that much (plus I have alchemy as a profession, so I can craft those HP increase potions [only problem is gathering the materials for it]).

Why would you want to play a private server that is eventually going to go down? All your work goes down the drain. Not only that, but leveling isn't that hard on the official servers these days (you could still have a life and get at least 10% a day at 120+). You don't need to level at least once a day.

Waiting for demon slayer. Mercedes isn't really my cup of tea.

Yeah, but you could make another account on the official site and play some other classes that are challenging (unfunded can be fun) to pass the time if you wanted. Why risk keyloggers/viruses and/or the frustrations of a PS for quick satisfaction?

I already commented on the fact that Expert is the greatest damage increase, while Warding was the most "versatile" damage increase. Either way you max both skills.

10% a day would be too easy. That'd be about 1 Ani and 1 Pap (I can do two Paps on my Merc because I have two level 120+). Additionally, it's very easy to crank out 1+ levels a day if you do LHC since the spawns are "glitched" and with a good party you can gain pretty crazy EXP (not really atm because there are familiar hackers that are wrecking the maps, but I don't LHC anyways).

I personally play PS because they're easier and it allows me to test out different things that on the normal server would take too long, cost too much money. I also use it to test out NX looks (preview in CS is askdznv) to see how fluid they look when you're actually outside of the CS.

I always scan the files from a PS multiple times with different antiviruses so it's not like I just walk into a "trap." Also I use different information for the PS than my regular Maple account so they can't "track" it. Why bother with them? Quick satisfaction and testing.

The way LHC and such is looking, i wouldn't be surprised if this PS was hacked LESS than official right now.

Seriously, every map is 'full' on el nido, with a hacker 1 hitting mobs on almost all of them, its stupid.
