For me, since i'm building agi cri knight, I'm aiming to build myself (equipment craft)...which partially done already.

For example, armor -> craft out Mink Coat (@Izlude). From there, I can upgrade it to get the Beast Heart (Cri + 5, AGI + 4, max HP + 450)
For the Beast Heart upgrade, it will increase the Cri as well. But the best part is to combine with Flamberge + Advance Sack Teddy Shoe + Undershirt => +3% atk, +3% cri dmg, +5% atk spd, +10% max hp

Thus, for footgear -> craft out sack teddy shoes (@Payon). From there you can upgrade it and level it up to Advanced Sack Teddy Shoe.

Also for garment -> craft out cotton shirt (@Izlude). From there you can upgrade it to be Undershirt.

If you have all 3 combinations, wao, that would be quite strong....at least from equipment part. Of course there are other area that we can improve on such as Runes...but, that is another big topic itself.

As for a decent enough starting sword, Attached Sword can be crafted which later can be level up to be Muramasa which I thing is 1 of the nice end game items.

Just some example, got other equips areas...

Anyway, this is my sharing and personal thoughts only. Enjoy~~

Omg, hunting for craft items....gold sand dropped rate on all monsters type - highest is 7.42%?

You all buy it or got any tips for better drop rate for this item?

But, my char level and the monster is within level 10. Not far too....for example GieEarth monster is lvl 48 and Muka lvl 49.

Ok, will check the lucky shop.
