Greed Blacksmith Build

[Sirius]

I'm back to EuRO after a long break and I decided to delete all my characters and create a new account to have a fresh start. I didn't have that high-level characters, though.
Now I'm building my Wizard and I want a Greed BS too. But as I've never done before, and can't find any exact guides about it, I need help about stats. I'm not thinking of leveling it over 65. I'll just use it to vend and greed. So, I want help about his stats. I think INT should be high, and DEX should be for leveling till BS. Can someone tell more exact stats?
Thanks ^^

Just make any smith build. Greed is a class skill so assuming you are the right job level you can get the skill. I guess though to make the most use of it, get a lot of str so that you can carry more and not have to go to town as much I guess.

[Sirius]

But I think any smith build won't just do it. Let's say classic BBS, with no Int, I'll have difficulties. I think I won't invest any points in Agi, but in Int.

[Kumoko]

My blacksmith had little to no int and she was fine greeding stuff.

Then again, greedsmiths are lame and you shouldn't be making one, anyway. (It's my opinion, so you don't have to agree with it.)

So what is your recommendation?

[Tam]

I have a greed smith, I would recommend over 50-60 int at least if you're solo

All a greed smith needs is str & int. Go the bare minimum dex just to hit monsters and help you level up. If you want go 21 base dex and reset stats later if you're that serious!

At lv65, my BS has 74 base str, 43 base int, and 28 base dex.

I would say int > str! Reverse the str & int, then you'll be fine.

[Sirius]

Thanks a lot Tam, I'll do that.

[crash]

He's on euRO so he can't stat reset as they don't have half of the value added services or any kafra shop items that we have.

tbh. I would assume that Greeding with 20~40 INT wouldn't be awful. Just wear SP gear and you'd be fine. I've never greeded full time, but I use it very often when leveling and it's usually not a problem to greed after every mob (plus keeping up my buffs, and the 12-24 SP it takes to kill the mob)

However, this is advice from somebody who thinks building a greed smith is totally lame in the first place.

I'll third the greed smith build is lame opinion. I make the usual 1m/hr with a 1 INT Smith. The Smith SP modifier is so shitty that at lower levels your SP is going to still suck. Just make a battlesmith and get it to a high level and you have yourself an ass kicker smith and a greed smith using one character slot and a lot less effort.

Hmm. I'm confused now :confused: This makes sense. At which level do you do that 1m/hr?

[The Jesus]

Using a 78 MS now but I was getting that as an 8x BS. At that level you also do not have to worry about taking damage from anything and you'll most likely have 99 STR depending on your build.

[Morrowind]

Id rather make a normal smith and use greed only when I'm out of money.

I fail to understand why people bother with "greeding builds", when they arentter t THAT much better than regular build.

[Sirius]

That seems nice. You didn't solo till 80s did you?

[The Jesus]

Yeah it's hella easy to mammo level a smith to 80+. Not cheap but when it's done it's done.

[Dingo]

Int is pretty useless when you can't hold the stuff you're picking up.

I bet you an actual battle smith makes more per hour greeding than a "greed smith" with a bunch of int.

[Tam]

You guys have to stop being so anal so what if he wants to make a greeding smith?

99 int/90 str build owns. You can mob w/ nice defense gears in CT HO with a HP if you really wanted to level.

I run out of sp and I make roughly 700k zeny/hr in orc dungeon 2 with that much int. More int = less time sitting = less time wasted by sitting down.

[The Jesus]

Pointing out flaws in a flawed build on a game forum isn't what I define as anal. You realize you would have to be like 90+ base to get 99 INT 90 STR? Shit if you're gonna do that just make it battle.

Now with duel clienting you can just use a Priest mag slave, that is what killed the INT greed concept IMO. It's a hell of a lot easier to make a priest on an alt hourly account than to make a 99int 90 str smith.

[Tam]

Sometimes people don't have the resources (ie: a good computer) to duel client.

The thing is you can get a decent amount of int/str by the time you hit lv70-80 easily. But you're right, it could be easier just making a Priest Mag slave or an lv4 mercenary archer too.

Horrible excuse, I use to play RO with a TNT2 and a 600mhz Athlon. If you can't duel client then get a better job and upgrade your 15 year old computer.

[crash]

I've been able to dual client perfectly fine even on the family PC from back in 2000.

[kei]

. . . u want me to kill you for saying that tam? its not the first day you know about smiths and how we act to merchant slavery.



if you want to greed so much, i'd recommend 30 int + sp gear. back when my smith had 600 sp and 24 int, i never ran out of sp while greeding. its not that hard to obtain 600 sp with sp gears and those gears are cheap to buy.

it'll be better off to get more str, agi so that you can actaully carry stuff, to flee from orc zombies / bats and not get hit while running around.


its much easier to make a smith based on str, a dash of agi and int (where you get the int in the later laters of smithhood), than crappy dex, and no defensive stats. (speaking of which, he said he doesn't have good gears, how do you expect him to level a merchant?)


you just don't need to be a retard and greed every item you see.

[Danny]

My vending slave that I leeched to smith just coz I like the sprite better has pumped int since like 2x coz I don't intend of leveling him anymore. If I wear sp gears I never run outta sp with a mag priest. So yeah I really, in essence have a "greed smith". Nothing wrong with just making a bs for greed really.. Doesn't take long at all, so there's no real "waste" imo. Considering we just got 2 more slots to stuff around with.

[Kumoko]

I think it's funny that everybody with a Mastersmith is saying greedsmiths suck, whereas people who only have greedsmiths are QQing.

'Sides, it's true that you'll likely make more money using greed to pick up loot while leveling a battlesmith normally. So quit QQing about loot made by legal botters that isn't even yours anyway.

It sure owns alright. :rolleyes:

[Solarcow105]

On a side note, has anyone tried the level 4 bow merc with mag? Cost like 50k/h or something (which would be made up with greeding) but having mag could make it so you regen your SP faster.

[Tam]

It sure owns alright. :rolleyes:
My smith is only lv65, and it's only counting the loots that are dropped. I don't sell my r. elu or r. ori. Otherwise it would be more than 700k!

XD @ Ken. I'm just sharing my beliefs! Don't kill me pimp belt!
