newbie looking for advises on cash shop

[XnoeinX]

im new, like fresh out of a factory raw meat new to this game of florensia.


im usually a gamer who likes to spend a moderate amount of real life $$ to get advantage in-game. im just wondering what are some of the smartest ways to spend cash in this game. i see some costumes that give different stats im not sure which is good for a priest which i plan to be...

and for 30 day items that boosts hp/mp are they really helpful? i'd like some tips from veteran players who uses cash shop regularly:)

thx.

Sorry to say, but maintenance just started a short time ago.

It should last about only 3 or so hours.

I want to say that you should wait a bit and get a feel for the game and then decide what you should get for IRL money items. For me it is a combination of what looks good and what it does that decides what I will buy for real money. It also depends on what your character looks like too. I have the Light Blue Yukata for my priest, I didn't like the other that I tried on, Pink. Just didn't look right on my character, I say that same pink yukata on another priest and it looked fine. The only difference what the hair color, the hair style was the same. So take some time and look around in-game and see what you like and then see if it is available in the cash shop still. You really don't need the extra bonuses until later on anyways.

Take some time to also read the threads on builds. Personally I'm a Hybrid AoE Priest. All my Land ability points are in Dex and all my Sea points in Wis. My skills are a bit harder to explain, but most of the early ones are currently at only lvl 1, while my later skills are at higher levels. Though this was done by resetting my skill points, so I don't really know how it would be to level my character with the current skill build, it would take a little longer I expect in the beginning. However I think I would have leveled faster once I was able to place more points into my main AoE. Hard for me to really write what I mean by this.

give it to me straight doc, is this game dead? or is it just the forum?

edit: oh thx for the tip didn't see your post there.

if you are looking to get advantadge in game by cs... lol go play something else...

cs are only for looks..
In this game you only get advandtage grinding like insan.. XD
if i get highly upgraded weapons or cs clothes i most of the times sell them, cuz they are highly overrated and almost same as common regular weapons... And the greatest laugh is the fact that to me, the best looking suit (GS armor) in this game is almost worthless in game =PP

at least in flo, skill beats money.. sorry :X

Then why I have the feeling that someone with a crapload of money that +10's his armor and +10 epic will always win from someone with a common weapon that isnt upgraded but haves all the skills* it takes to Pvp


*It really takes next to no skills

money > skills because there is no skill required to play on land

...

sea takes more skill then land but still ... its not really that much.

Of course they are powerful but it's because they invested a LOT of time and money. Upgrading sometimes is hell and you will end up buying tons of crystals, stones and even slates, took me four Slates (2 of Ancient and 2 Tutorial) to get my Damaskus to +6 and Large Crystal Sword to +5.

I support Flo's Cash Shop the way it is <.< not so cheap, not so OP (stats are very fair), and upgrade is still difficult, it just prevent bad effects.

If you want to see what is a real unfair CS shop take S4 League for example, there is a lot of whine because CS overpower people, for a few AP you can buy weapons and clothes with insane stats (normal people have 100 HP (sometimes 115), a CS one can pick to get +150 or +hit or +defense or SP or HP or EXP or money in each item, notice that they can use at the same time gloves, shoes, pants, tops, face, hair, 1 accessory, 3 weapons and 1 skill, how many freaking stats are there?) to use for 30 days.

I still enjoy that game a lot and don't give a shit about AP buyers but the complainers are out of control >.>

Yep, I agree with Karem. It's good how CS items give a bonus, but not too large a bonus that the game becomes hard to compete for people who don't buy from the CS.
