So I just got to 20 jelly gems. :D
Now, which weapon should I buy?
My current loadout is Wolver set(2*), Calibur/Snarble Barb(2* intend to switch this out for a Nightblade or some other brandish line), and Cryotech/Shadowtech Alchemer(intend to upgrade either one of the two to 3*, or upgrade my Autogun to a ?)
So, if I purchase either one, I can toss aside my earlier plans for getting 3* equipment for that role(sword or gun)
Which would you advise me to go for?
Main source of income - farming JK
Also intend to get a Bristling Buckler.
And yes I do intend to get both eventually.
In time you'll want to buy all FOUR Antigua/Sealed Sword lines, but for now it's probably better to think ahead to when you're farming FSC, so get the Sealed Sword and upgrade it to the Avenger.
You mentioned "switching certain weapons out" and "tossing aside earlier plans" like with your swords and whatnot, but DON'T think you have to have a specific set of weapons or anything. Part of endgame is arming yourself to the teeth with every worthwhile weapon out there, and then triple UV'ing them all if your into that sorta thing!
As for your Autogun, definitely upgrade it to the Strike Needle/Blitz Needle. So worth it.
And the Bristling Buckler IS one of the best shield out there, especially if you pair it with the Wolver Set to become the "Ultimate Swordie of Doom", but it can be difficult to obtain for your first shield since token reward recipes can only be found at Basil. Owlite Shields are usually the most helpful for a first-time deal, with FSC and all.
But whatever suits you, stick to that and don't let people change you!
