earth eternal gold

For assassins, get the best stars you can afford earth eternal gold at all times. Kumbi tend to be the ones people get the most. Or, if funded, get icicles at early levels and kill much faster.

If you have Maple-Story iTCG, and play in Maple-Global, AND are funded, you may want to try for Crystal Ilbi, which is +29attk.

Actually, getting a +7 100% claw is more important than getting stars, especially with Meba. Also, once in possession of Kumbis/Icicles, start spending money on work gloves scrolled with attack.

Get 6 attack gloves before getting Tobi, 8 attack gloves before getting Steely, and 10 attack gloves before getting Ilbi.

Also, starting from level 50, consider getting +5 or more 60% scrolled claws. Just look at the next upgrade cost for your claw, glove, star, and determine which one is cheaper. Don't go out thinking that getting a better star is the only option to raise your attack.

So what does this list mean? It means, if poor, buy as many Health and Mana potions as you can. If you saved up enough money, then buy a more powerful weapon.
