*note: he bought replicas of some of my recipies. If they are important, then I will post them up later upon request.
and I mentioned those because he gives me discounts (I have to help him in levels and he helps me. Its a mutualistic relationship in mmorpg games we play. Holy crap, my keyboard is lagging really bad
I need to know what to aim for in tier 3 and lower tier 2 (btw, is the jelly king just hack n slash, or is there a strategy?) I wanna make vanderduke runs later and jelly king runs now. I already have a snorbolax setup. Easiest boss ever, in all of the games I have played. I will be open to all types of weapons, and want 3 weapons at the most. The fourth can be for situational weapons.
What I want is for gear improvements, wether it be in the same crafting line or in a different one. All ideas welcome.
And please excuse any typing errors you may find, I am on my phone right now.
