Hey guys. I'm an old RO player returning from a 5 year hiatus. I've stick to a fairly new mid-rate server (which is actually going to have its big launch when Ckole finishes the website and whatnot, but anyways.) and since we don't have stuff readily available for purchase, nor we have a big community, I'd really like to have a feedback from the RMS community, if it wouldn't be a problem.

The thing is, we're running on 159/70, without 3rd classes. And while we still haven't balanced everything out, I've found that a LK is pretty much doing everything I've needed so far with relative ease. But I am actually clueless if there's anything I can do to enhance my current equip/stats layout, as there's a load of new stuff I missed during my hiatus.

Without further ado, my current LK:





My input on the gears:

Headgears: While we still don't have custom hats, I'm stuck with original ones. And since I can't really find something that'll stand out from the rest, Drooping Cat is giving me that decent 15 mdef and it's freaking cute. + the FB for any demi-human encounters I might have.

Armor: As you can see from my accessories, Ice Cream is my healing alternative. It heals at about 1.7k per ice cream (I currently have little over 62k HP) and it's pretty spammable. The only downside is, unless I'm being hit all the time, unfrozen/undead armor is a must. I have a backup +3vit peco carded Meteo Plate, but I just find the unfrozen Glistening Jacket to be way more useful.

Weapon: The +6 (w/ 3 Aks) Krasnaya is my main PVM weapon. Yes, I'm aware AKs only work for boss properties, but I just don't have the luck (nor patience) to farm another Krasnaya. And even if I did, I'd only have AS cards to give me a boost against all mobs. And I can pretty much 1 (at MOST 2) shot mobs that don't fall under the boss tag.
You might see I have a backup +5 Cranial Valk and a +7 Kingbird Hunting Spear; but I barely use them. Not only I'd have to farm way more valk shields and cards to get resistance from every source, but I REALLY find Parry to be WAY more useful in PVM than a 30% racial reduction. That being said, I'm considering switching the AS for a Hydra card, as I'd only use it for PvP.

Besides, Krasnaya is pretty heavy, and with 3 AKs (I'm aware now most MVPs are Large and a Majourus card would differ by 2.5%, but I could've bet there were way more medium sizes pre-renewal; oh well) I can deal a bit over 40k per complete spiral on most MVPs (yeah, that crap is pretty OP =/). + Parry.

(The Hellfire is actually just for hitting ghost mobs w/o relying on a sage)

Garment & Boots: When I left RO, tidals + wools where the s*** out there. And I still find them to be very useful and quite common. And tbh, I haven't found a better alternative. We still haven't tried taking down Beelzebub, so Variants are still an option. As for the garment, welp, I really have no idea. Raydric wools are just fine for me :#

Accessories: As I said, Ice creams are my main healing option, therefore they're both carded with Snowier. As for the accessories themselves, Cursed Hand is there basically for the +10 hit, that helped me reach near 90% hit on some bosses, and welp, hit is never enough x.x
The Diabolus Ring dropped by accident when I killed a pesky incarnation that was bothering me farming for the Cursed Hand. And the extra 100 SP means +3 spirals. Yay! :3~

Just ignore that clip (it has a sleeper card I was trying out), but the ring actually has a horong on it, if I ever need sight.


My input on the stats:

Welp, apparently you can't get instant cast on renewal anymore (not w/o cast time reduction cards, and even then I doubt it's possible to remove cast from everything). That sucks. That means the DEX is there mainly for the HIT (and ofc the cast reduction it can offer). Investing any more in it is just going to suck 40+ stat points from me; and aside from some pretty high flee MVPs (and Agi Ups >_>) I can hit everything I need.
My vit was originally 91+9 for the stun immunity (it still works on renewal, afaik) but I had some leftovers and got it to 100. I might drop some Dex/Str to get more VIT if needed.
Int is basically for a bit more SP, so with the ring I'm reaching 933, which basically means 31 spirals before I'm out. That's a pretty decent number, though I'd love to have more =/
The 100 Str are there because of weight. Yeah. I carry around 150 ice creams + those damned heavy gears and ofc random loot. So I'm often over 50%. And while I haven't checked my spiral dmg w/o any Str, I belive it would be significantly lower.


Well, I guess that's pretty much it. What I would like is ANY suggestion/input on my current equips/stats. Anything at all.
Just keep in mind that I can't kill everything, YET. We'll be running our first Randgris this weekend, so I might have some updates. Besides that, if the MVP doesn't have ridiculous healing, I can probably take it. (and MVP cards aren't really an option on a x20 server. Sorry =/)

Thanks in advance,
