no tips?

my server is still new so everyone is using his seals/threads/refine/runes etc immedialty instead of waiting for rebates like everyone is telling to do.

so about my post, can i get some information/tips please?

Strengthening your equipment will give MUCH more power than 8-Gates at your level. Also I believe 8-gates unlocks around level 65

first you should reach the max level for your equipment, after that you should donate the max daily coins to your group and max the group skills, after them you should use your coins in inner gates with the goal to claim the 4 quick runes (are 20k points per rune).

should i stop at lv50 strengthen and save for 8 gates or not? because they are starting to cost a big amount of money. just burned 3 mil to upgrade from lv50 to 53.

No, you shouldn't stop. However at that point you level fairly quickly, so its hard to keep up with upgrading. When I was at that level (and so like 10 peple of the server), we all donated max to the group everyday (even if you max out skills, developing a strong group before merge that usually happens 6 months after server start) will profit you in a long run. For a long time my equipment strenghten was about 10 levels below my main char level (so when i was 70, my eq was around 60~). Once you unlock 8gates, its a good idea to at least get few chakras (main stats, crit, control, combo- those are which matter, doesnt matter which color at the beginning) and at least fill the slots. Then you have 3 choices:

1) focus on upgrading your gear, try to keep it up as close to your main character's level as possible and once you fini*, go for chakras.

2) try to keep your eq at about 10 levels lower than mains lvl and focus primarily on 8 gates to get 1st initiative rune (20k points, it costs about 60+ million gold in total). Once you get 1st one, skip 8gates completely until u finish eq.

3) similar to 2, but keep attack and ninjutsu stats as high as possible and hp/def/res 10lvls lower, then as above. This way you keep your dmg maxed out and you slowly work on getting faster.

However, DO NOT completely neglect your eq strengthen and go all the way for that initiative chakras, it's not worth it.

I personally used 2) method, my other groupmate used 1). Results were once i actually got ini chakra, i had the speed advantage on 1 ninja, while he was overall a little stronger. After some time it all evens out because in time you will get what you are missing. Keep in mind though, that eq strangthen is a finite power source- once you level to 95 it stops. 8gates on the other hand take much, much more gold and are virtually impossible to finish with perfect rolls, that's why it's close to infite gold sink.

what is this 1st initiative rune 20 points? you and the other guy mentioned it. i have never done 8 gates

and 8 gates opens at lv65?

as i said: 1st equipment, 2nd group skills, 3rd inner gates. So if your equipment isn't maxed you go for it until is maxed (for your level, of course).

1. Group skills (5 primary attributes)

2. Equipment

3. 8 inner gates / remaining group skills

There are 5 tier of chakras in inner gates: green, blue, violet, yellow and red (from the worst to the best). Each time you train in 8gates, you get some chakra points and chakra you can put in slot. So far initiative chakra can be only gained as violet via point exchange, and you need 20k points to get initiative chakra. It's considered one of the best available chakras (even thought its only violet), because the player with higher initiative gets to keep auto barrier, also ninja with higher ini moves 1st, so you see how powerful their impact might be. Maxed out ini chakra gives 200 initiative.

Yes, 8gates opens at 65lvl and after than, every few levels 1-2 more slots open, up to 7 available chakra slots.

About terminology: if I said anywhere "initiative rune", pardon me. Meant initiative chakra, and all others above me as well.
