Leisure Journey of Refinements

Leisure Journey of Refinements

Hi, I'm back with another journal. This time, instead of focusing on a short-term goal, I've included a mix of both short and long-term objectives. I briefly considered pursuing the path of degeneracy, leveraging on what I have, including two Bishops, one I/L Arch Mage, and one F/P Arch Mage.

However, I've come to realise that I don't enjoy that style of gameplay despite its efficiency. Therefore, I've decided to continue playing casually, at my own pace, and I'll loosely document my Shadower's journey over an extended period of time.

If you're new here, do check out my previous upgrading journal, The Art of Optimization: Liberating the Gloves Slot, where I attempted to free my gloves slot as my weapons were dependent on a 5 DEX gloves to equip.

Stats



In case you weren't aware, I have what some might consider an unusual and unconventional goal of maintaining a base stats of 4 STR and 25 DEX for my Shadower.

I exclusively rely on the stats from my equipment to wear all items, without any event items. While this approach may not be the most cost-effective or damage-optimised, it brings me immense satisfaction to achieve it.

Goals

Character

☑ Shadower lv160

Spoiler: CharacterGoal

I'm planning to reset all my INT at level 160, and hopefully, with the power spike, it will open up new farming spots for me.

☑ Shadower lv168
☑ Shadower lv 175
☐ Defeat Zakum once
☐ Defeat Scarlion once
☑ Defeat Bergamot once
​

Wealth

☑ Replenish 2 billion meso reserves
☑ Accumulate 250 Common Gachapons
☑ Accumulate 1,000 Prestigious Coins

Spoiler: Wealth Goal

I recently purchased the shoes, and it put a dent on my meso reserves. I want to replenish my funds again for the same purpose – the ability to acquire the items I desire when they become available.

I've estimated that I would get a yellow line approximately every 250 common gachapons. With this in mind, I've made the decision to refrain from pulling until I've accumulated 250 of them.

I'm working towards collecting 1,000 Prestigious Coins, as I believe this amount might provide me with an opportunity to upgrade my dagger to a 131+ Weapon ATT.

Gears

☑ 9 DEX face accessory
☑ 14 DEX earrings
☑ 19 STR, 34 DEX hat

(16 STR, 34 DEX hat)​

☑ 15 STR, 6 DEX, 2 LUK Green Pirate Blouse
☑ 19 DEX, 2 LUK Green Pirate Skirt

(20 DEX, 2 LUK Green Pirate Skirt)​

☑ 12 Weapon ATT, 5 DEX, 4 LUK Blue Anelin
☑ 14 Weapon ATT BWG/YM

(16 Weapon ATT BWG)​

☑ 10 Weapon ATT Cape

(11+ Weapon ATT Cape)​

☑ 32 Weapon ATT, 3 LUK Dragon Khanjar

(33 Weapon ATT, 3 LUK Dragon Khanjar)​

☑ 130+ Weapon ATT dagger

(132 Weapon ATT NT Dagger)​

Spoiler: Gears Goal

Right now, I'm at 151 DEX without a cape and gloves.

While I can currently equip a NT dagger with the additional 5 DEX from gloves, I want to explore the possibility of doing so without relying on them. I'm considering adding +1 DEX from each of the following equipment pieces: face, earrings, hat, and top. However, it's worth noting that this isn't a top priority for me at the moment.

I've also made the decision to create a pair of thief gloves with 12 Weapon ATT and 5 DEX. This will allow me to explore options like a Reverse/Timeless dagger.

Upgrading to a Dragon Khanjar with 32 Weapon ATT would be nice.

​

More Wealth NEW!

☐ Accumulate 8 bil worth of Meso and Prestigious Coins​

More Gears NEW!

☐ 34+ Weapon ATT, 3+ LUK Dragon Khanjar
☐ 133+ Weapon ATT Reverse/Timeless Pescas
