questions

Is it worth leveling/training my bot without the stars and ratio whores? I feel like even just to get to level 200 it might take me a year. It's a game and i understand that everything takes time, but when someone else does that in one day makes me feel that i'm just wasting my time trying to level up my bot. any tips or advice ?

its not a waste of time with the right builds and time you could do well and get high in level

i would advise you to try and seek help from players that can whore you bots to level much quicker

Historically ratio whore use was kept within clans and just for best friends of the owners, but people are quite a bit more sharing these days, as long as you pay the losses back you'll give the bots with windumps. If you get chatting to the right people they might be up for helping you out.

That being said, the very first person to make a ratio whore chain had to do it by training! Nothing stopping you making your own

that very first person who did probably doesn't even play anymore :) i'm sure all ratio whores has been made by using other ratio whores or people just buy bots from others players and whore them for themselves. probably I stick to training my main bot and sometimes try to catch a nice bot to rape :P thanks though

My first plan for this bot was leveling only by training. I got desmotivated around lvl 160 because it becomes very slow... After lvl 180 leveling becomes faster due to xp drop and better equipments and training targets, so you will get lvl 200 faster than it seems now. However, leveling will be increasingly slower. For example, currently Lyrad is gaining more or less 1 lvl per month. Leveling is just patience and perseverance, with or without ratio whores.

thank you very much! this is exactly what i wanted to hear :) SJ mentioned is very important to have a good build, so i'm leveling with min con, 1/2 level int and always make sure i have 70.00% block chance, my weapon now is gunblade, aiming to get next dream bringer, quatum blade, wind chaser, obliterator... is my path good enough ?

You can use my rws if you like, I just need to windump them :)

70% block isnt as vital that low level mine still isnt capped 69.73% training vs triple x just fine :P

bmailed you Osh and thanks for the tip Execute

You should increase str to have better absorb and you also should have more than min con. Now you have around 80 int? Don't increase it more until lvl 250 or so! Well, maybe you can even get to lvl 300 with around 60-100 int, depending if you wanna a stronger or weaker build. I'm always refering to base int btw.

I just spoke to Myriad as well, going to get masamune and better armour. i got another question do you guys use Kodiac's Endless Intellect III ? it's really good but bloody expensive =/

Use 2 for training at lower levels if you wanna save TP use 3 for RWs for sure. 80 int is also fine till 275 or so then i would add more or it starts becoming a pain in the ass to level from training alone. Con rule is kind of iffy and depends on the build. Min con is doable comfortably till you get to cyborg LX after that you need to pump alot more (175 or so for triple x, 210 or so vs extreme if you have the best armor) builds vary alot based on preference.
