Should I be investing much in equips before Empress?

Continuing off what i had said before about monster park, it can also be a great way to make some money. You can reveal and sell any equips with over 6% main stat, and npc the rest (From npcing alone i make a few hundred k a day) It is especially good during 2x if training maps are full. If you dont have the time to kill monsters for tickets, you can buy them and the cost should be covered buy drops.

The tempest set is not too bad if you have an abundance of coins, but empress is better. Getting the empress set with Elite Helsium belt from Tempest shop is a good combo.
