SSF Bowzon

This is my first character that has gotten to the ubers, so pardon me if my questions are silly.

I've got some questions about the Umbaru Treasure charm from Teganze:

1. I see in the Middle Game section of the guide you recommend getting the charm upgraded to 40str+dex, but in the Uber boss videos section you recommend getting the charm upgraded to 50str+dex. Which one are you recommending?

2. I'm assuming 50str+dex means that you add str and dex together for a total value of 50. Is that correct?

3. I've never upgraded this charm, so I'm not 100% sure how this works. I'm guessing you can't remove an essence after you've cubed it, so you are out of luck when you get a bad roll. At what point do you decide the 50str+dex goal is unachievable and start over from scratch with a new charm?

Unrelated, I have another question too. I've already found the Endless Loop SU belt. Is it worth making the Rainbow Belt with the Xis rune? Or should I save Xis for something else? I assume my other MF gear plays into this decision. I also have Hratli's Craft armor for 40% MF, a 200-300 crafted bow with 49% MF, and I usually swap in a 35% MF ring for a Ripstar when I'm item farming.

Thanks.

1) good catch. fixed to 40str+dex everywhere.

2) correct. 40str+dex, meaning it could be 20str and 20dex before the spirit upgrade.

3) correct, its a onetime cube and you will not be able to change the charm after. i go 5 essences at a time. like so:
5 essence -> +5-10 str+dex -> keep going with another 5 essences-> 10-15 str+dex -> keep going another 5 -> shoot, it backtracked to 2-4 str+dex -> ditch charm and restart. ditch the charm when you notice it backtracked instead of progressing.

endless loop is used for its fcr which is useful for bossing. the xis-rainbow belt would be used for farming, not bossing. its a temporary piece until you find a

Lilith's Temptation

Lilith's Temptation
Plated Belt (Sacred)
Defense: (3680 - 4089) to (4031 - 4479)
Required Level: 100
Item Level: 105
3% Chance to cast level 2 Time Strike on Striking
+(170 to 200)% Enhanced Defense
-100 to Life
(60 to 100)% Magic Find
Requirements -100%
Socketed (2)

. if you already reach 200-250mf without much effort without the belt, i wouldnt bother farming the xis-rune for the belt. its enough mf. its the kind of thing i get as soon as i start grinding teganze right after windrunners because it will drastically increase my drop quality.

however id recommend against a 35mf rare ring. the dmg from ripstar is too great to sacrifice, 20mf isnt worth the 60-78 max dmg sacrifice.

Thanks for the advice. It's very helpful.

I've mentioned before, but I'll say it again. This guide is fantastic, especially for a player who is new to the mod. As I'm progressing based on the guide, I'm getting introduced to new concepts in the game incrementally rather than all at once. Jumping straight into the game would be tough. I'd have no idea what aspects to focus on when. Plus, if I had jumped in on my own, even after understanding the mechanics of a feature, I may not have realized their importance.

It's also greatly appreciated that you continue answering questions. Thanks again.

Hey has this build been nerfed in half or something? looking at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2emZcaj ... t&index=20
I have better bow, and better quiver the rest I have the exact same equipment, I have more stats about 100 more dex and 150 more vit. I have the exact same buffs active, both bloodlust, etc. but I have almost exactly half sheet damage. I also have everything MO'ed exactly the same. I also made sure I have all the charms as in the video with very high/perfect rolls on them.

My Damage:
Wyrmshot

Phallanx
3869 - 9746

On video:
Wyrmshot

1.7 cut all damage and monster health in half and that video is from 1.6.

Ah I see, thanks @Siosilvar numbers kinda make sense now haha

I have been trying to upgrade my boots to wind runners but I can't find a base with 1PR. I've probably rolled over 1,000 times at this point. Is it possible to still get this?

you surely forgot an oil of luck to roll them, oil of renewal wont add 1PR by itself ^^

I'm confused then. What's the process to roll these? According to the docs 1PR isn't a lucky property.
