Unfunded Washing (16k hp) - A Journey to the Top (Buccaneer)

Hello, fellow maplers. I have returned after a couple years away, mostly enticed by an exclusive pet but also because I listen to Maplestory music at work to concentrate and inevitably get to the questions of "What if..."

This is not the first time I've returned to Maple, of course. This is, however, the first time I've decided to go in playing a class that isn't a DrK. I wanted a challenge. I wanted something that would keep me playing well after fourth job and perhaps one day even reach 200. But of course, that requires big HP. And big HP requires WASHING.

What am I doing here?
I'm deep into KPQ at this point, and when I mentioned to my party members (who are gracious enough to be carrying me through first stage) that I'm washing unfunded...they did not believe it was possible. How would I even pass 2nd job?

Up to this point, I thought I only needed this guide for understanding how to wash a Brawler, but then I realized that perhaps, maybe, I might be missing something. I assume the main concern there is DEX/accuracy but maybe I've just been so spoiled as a Spearman for so long that I didn't realize damage could be a concern.

So I figured I would document my progress in case I was missing something obvious.

What have I done so far?
As I mentioned, I'm into KPQ so not too much, but I like to think I've had a decent amount of luck and am off to a good start.

Accomplishments

• Rolled into 10int
• Got the red sporty cap
• Got a Blue Work Glove
• Got a cool snowboard
• Picked up 2 pairs of squishy shoes (2/3 runs where I rolled highest)
  
• Beat Mano all by myself
• Got 2x Int for Overall 10% from KPQ

What have I done wrong?
I haven't done anything too egregious, but I will say that some of my quirky little maple habits leave me with a less than optimized play style. Mostly because I am a hoarded who focuses very, very much on questing.

Mistakes

• Spent ~20k NX on slots expansions
• Wasted potions trying to kill Green Mushrooms and Axe Stumps
  
• Wasted mesos on Sandblasted Jeans instead of like, useful equips
• Wasted mesos on storing items
• Spent NX on a VIP hair coupon after the random Amoria one left me with a bad one
• NPCing a Stolen Fence (they're like 200k clean I think??)
• Spent 45k on gloves for dex 60 (not wasted because it worked!)
  
• Wasted 3k mesos to go to Mushroom Shrine just to get 2 shitty gaches

Again, nothing too egregious, but getting AP resets will certainly not be easy. Math is hard and all I remember to keep track of is that my INT needs to be intervals of 40 to be most effective and that washing gear only needs to be equipped on level up.

What's next?
Mostly PQing and regular progression stuff.

Short-term goals

• Sell scrolls for money for washing gear
• Finish KPQ runs (need like 2 cards)
• Join a guild
• Figure out 2nd and the acc situation
• Ariant questline that I have to finish before hitting 30

What do I look like?

Spoiler: Here I am

I'll update when I have time. But I figured this would be a fun way to keep me invested.
