I've been using this set basically forever and I feel like it's definitely time to upgrade (and stop putting off buying decent weapons). I'm sorta hesitant to spend 100's millions of sP on T10 stuff because I know that I'll eventually be changing some of these out for T11 weapons. But if something is totally necessary or will be usable in later tiers, I'm very much open to ideas!

Side note- I'm currently saving up for a Intricate Energized Helmet by doing battle quests and getting EH tokens.

Current set:

I'm not really concerned about scrolls for right now- I use Terra Focujin and Cobalt Eternals.

Pet stats: Level: 684 Health: 1683 / 1683 Strength: 1687 Defense: 1682 Speed: 1681 Intelligence: 565

unstable sample syringe and tempestuous bladed gauntlets are both t10 weps I still use at the cap, and blessed trident of the banished one is great from t8-t12, ornamented hookswords and possessed bow are both pretty darn nice too, malignant rift staff is meh at t10 and a bit better at t11, though not the best, malice is prolly something you wanna sell, it's not really useful overall. the thing about t8/9-t12 weps is that they can sometimes be very opponent specific as the need rises to block specific icon types and to avoid using specific attack icon types. In the end, it's best to pretty much have all of them XD. The syringe and gauntlets are definitely on the cheaper end, but they'll still cost you a pretty penny :P.

intricate energized helm is definitely going to be a nice upgrade for you, I'd consider getting rainbow vortex as a full blocker to replace the tempered shield as well. it has a small chance to freeze which can really come in handy sometimes.

the acorn bomb you can prolly ditch as well, maybe get rapier of error for it's curse and chance to freeze which sort of replaces it.

you could upgrade recycle blaster to soma tablets or use them alongside it, personally i never upgraded I'd rather spend the 75m+ on stats or towards another t10/11 weapon.

pquill and reviver of the lion are both thigns you want to keep forever without a doubt :)

hope that helps :)

Thank you so much for all of the suggestions, but more importantly for the explanations! I've already switched out Malice for the Unstable Sample Syringe and it's made a huge difference. The Gauntlet is probably my next step. I'd love to invest in a Blessed Trident of the Banished One, but there aren't a ton floating around for sale right now.

I'm sorta hopeful the Rainbow Vortex may find it's way back to the cash shop eventually, considering there are none in the shops or trades right now.

There might come a few new tridents for sale soon as it's direct competitor/upgrade swashbuckle has quite a few for sale with more likely to come. If you could find one, I'd recommend it above all else if you can afford it. Even more so if you have or ever plan on having multiple battle pets.

I'm not really sure the logic behind not having the RV a permanent addition to the cash shop, hopefully it'll come back.

The Trident is definitely the weapon I'd want the most... it seems to be what get's recommended this most for the upper tiers. It's unfortunate that there really aren't any for sale right now. How much does it usually go for?

Yeah, I'm not really sure why the vortex isn't in the shop either. I think it was supposed to come back, but it's probably been forgotten. :/

I'm not positive but I think it's been under 400m lately, probably ~350m ish. I think there's a relatively recent thread on the item price check forum that'd be better than my guesstimate.

Ah, that's better than I expected! I'll keep my eye out. Again, thank you so much for all the help, it is truly appreciated!

no problem, glad to help :)
