 Spoiler

I got 30 Base STR and 108 Total STR.
I only got 600m if I can manage to sell my elemental staff 1.

I want to were this:

 Spoiler

Vepar Bloody Gear
STR +16, DEX +16, HP +125, MP +125, Speed +5, PVP Damage +3%, Charm EXP +90, DEF 110, 7 slots left
Requires: STR 160, DEX 160

Vepar Bloody Cape
STR +3, DEX +3, PVP Damage +3%, Charm EXP +90, DEF 80, M.DEF 120, 5 slots left

Vepar Bloody Gauntlets
ATK +1, STR +9, DEX +9, HP +60, PVP Damage +3%, Charm EXP +90, DEF 57, 5 slots left
Requires: STR 140, DEX 140

Vepar Bloody Mail
STR +13, DEX +13, ACC +50, Avoid +50, PVP Damage +3%, Charm EXP +90, DEF 165, 10 slots left
Requires: STR 160, DEX 160

Vepar Bloody Boots
STR +8, DEX +8, Speed +5, Jump +5, PVP Damage +3%, Charm EXP +90, DEF 88, 5 slots left
Requires: STR 140, DEX 140

Vepar Bloody Eagle
ATK 87, DEX +8, STR +4, ACC +50, PVP Damage +5%, Charm EXP +90, 8 slots left, Fast attack speed
Requires: STR 160, DEX 400

[COLOR="#FF0000"]I would need 177 STR.
Gloves and Shoes Require only 140 STR.
They give 20 STR.
So 177-20=157 STR[/COLOR]

Imagine my character with only these equips:

 Spoiler

8/10 Crafted Str Belt (Tenacious Extreme Belt 10 STR (X) ore Tenacious Red Gilded Belt 8 STR (X))
Crusader Shoulderpad
2x STR rings(Strength Ring VII(X) and Strength Ring VI(X)(15 str total))
Dep Star/HTP(this gonna be hard )
Kenta Goggles
Work on Codex
Vepar Cape(Cause it requires no stats)
1 Lvl 17 Evo Ring II,cause I got 1 Ring slot left.
+
Mech Equips (5 STR)
_____________________________________________________________________________________________+ = 59 STR

So Now my Character has 30STR(Base) and 51 STR with equips = 89 STR TOTAL


Conclusion:
157-89= Still need 68 STR


What should I do?

do you intend to only use the vepar set in pvp or everywhere?

consider ditching larson equips for things with a lot of str -- you can craft a 8-10 str belt, the crusade shoulderpad can net you at least 5 more str than larsons, you can make a couple str rings and replace the crusade rings, dep star or htp for a pendant will go far... kenta goggles have more all stat than dragon glasses

and work on your codex you oughta be able to get a couple more out of it

im currently able to equip a full vepar set w/ 23 base str, but i have things like 2 17 evo rings, 11 stat crusade shoulder, rising sun ring/belt, chtp, czak, 9 str mech part, lvl 7 codex... and i cant equip the hat until i have the 4 set bonus all stats. itll be tough if you dont add say... 20-30 more base str. but dont go much higher than that its not necessary.

@modular
I'm gonna use it everywhere.
(Shouldn't I? I won't be like.. weaker with those equips right?)

So I gotta get:
8/10 Crafted Str Belt (Tenacious Extreme Belt 10 STR (X) ore Tenacious Red Gilded Belt 8 STR (X))
Crusader Shoulderpad
2x STR rings(Strength Ring VII(X) and Strength Ring VI(X)(15 str total))
Dep Star/HTP(this gonna be hard )
Kenta Goggles
Work on Codex

+

1 Lvl 17 Evo Ring II Since I got 1 Ring slot left.

since most of your stuff isnt heavily cubed, no you probably wouldnt be any weaker equipping the set.

ive accrued 3-6% dex on all my stuff and dont plan to cube my set at all, so i only use it in pvp (and its pretty damn boss)

Tnx for your help man.
I think I can finally fix my Mech now

Tnx for your help man.
I think I can finally fix my Mech now

You do know that you only need 140 str before you equip the set thanks to the shoes, andgloves requiering 140 secondary stat and the cape requiring none and those 3 equips on ave will give +20 str/dex

in order to equip the hat, he will need 17 more str to replace that which he loses from the ravana hat. must have 177 with everything else to equip the hat.

= (8 ore 10) + 5 + 15 + 5(Dep, Pendant) + 5 + (crusader codex 4 ATM.) = 44 ore 42 STR

30 Base STR ATM
44 STR with Equips
+ Vepar Cape 3 STR
77 STR.

Need 100 more STR...

[COLOR="#FF0000"]Gloves and Shoes Require only 140 STR.
They give 20 STR.
So 177-20=157 STR[/COLOR]

[COLOR="#0000FF"]If i need 157 STR, then :
30 Base STR ATM
44 STR with Equips
+ Vepar Cape 3 STR
+ Gloves and Shoes 20 str
97 STR. [/COLOR]

157-97=60

Still need 60 STR ?No?

So... 177 STR.(still don't understand why 177 @,@)

you need enough str to meet the requirement without equipping either the item or your previous item for that slot. since you have a 17 str ravana hat, you have to exclude the str it gives from the vepar hat's requirements. hence, you need 160 (vepar req) + 17 (ravana loss) = 177 str to exchange the ravana hat for the vepar hat. equivalently, you need to have 160 str without your ravana hat on.

the same thing applies to other equips, youre current glove has no str on it, so you only need to have 140 str to replace it with a vepar glove. replacing your shoes will require 144 str since your squishy shoes have 4. your current gun has 3 str, so youll need 163 to replace it with a bloody gun.

however, also keep in mind that for an item to stay equipped, it cant be using its own stats to equip itself. to keep both the shoe and glove equipped if theyre each 10 str, you need to have at least 150 str at any time or theyll unequip. so you could have 130 str with your normal equips excluding shoe and glove, equip say... an earring with an extra 10 str, equip both shoe and glove, and then unequip the earring, leaving you with 150 str. if you then unequip either shoe or glove, the other will red out and youll have to use the earring to re-equip.

confusing yes?

I know the stuff about the "red out" things, same thing happrns with my concerto when i unequip my ravana, but i need 177 str, so are the calculations i made in my previous post correct? And if they are, then im still short on 60 str which means i would need to level 12x to add 60 str to my base str , which would make my base str 90 str.....?

I changed the OP for less confusion.
