So I finally got to fighgunner, i'm a beast level 28 with the yellow speed beast.

I was wondering if i could get some advice on a couple things.

Armor: I've been meaning to buy a megaline (only using stellaline right now) for a while however, that was about 10 levels ago and im thinking i might as well buy something more expensive. I was gonna synth something but seems cheaper to buy, any suggestions?

Weaps: I have almost everything at B, no A's some C's. I need to find better two handed guns, a mech gun, and the single guns. I also want to try to get one of my other weapons up to an A rank, eventually i want to use double saber but not enough cash or ATP to use it yet. What's a good Arank buy? i like using the dual blades, daggers (both single and dual), and sometimes regular sabers. I don't care for the long sword or the fists.

Slots: What should i stick in my slots? right now i have a small power upgrade and EVP upgrade, i want to put an HP recovery but i need an extra slot armor.

I have about 33k now because i just purchased a shop and some items, still getting off the ground with the selling thing too. My PM is only lv 6, because i started it late and im trying to max striking so most of the time i have to feed it weapons which don't come along often.

So basically i don't know what to spend my time and money on first, should i raise my PM to be able to synth better items first, should i boost my armor first, or get a really awesome weapon?

Any help is appreciated
Thanks!

If you're a Beast Fighgunner, I'd get one of those units that boosts ATP and ATA. It'll help make up for the Beast's low accuracy, and help boost your power a tad.

With 33k you should have enough to get some decent armor, and since you're most likely about to get into the harder missions you'll need extra defense and such. You'll also want to take things such as Slots and Elements into consideration when shopping around.

For A-Rank blades you'll want to check out GRM, and for A-Rank daggers Yohmei. But if you have good weapons at the moment, I'd go with armor first and get a Mega/Knight unit to stick in there. And if you got a body slot, throw a good defense unit in there too. Then worry about weapons.

The last thing you need to worry about at level 28 are A-rank weapons. You probably can't even equip most of them yet.

If anything you may want to start off your new class by leveling it and also the character in general, that can also help you get meseta and some good drops depending on where you go. Like sekani said at your level the last thing youd wnna worry about is the A -Rank stuff. And congrads on the advancement.

Armor:
I strongly suggest a Gigaline; Arm, Body and Extra slot.
It's a 5 star (next up from Megaline) and can be bought from NPC at 45k. DON'T try synthing it, as you would have a 37% chance with 0 armor on your PM (and only a 56% chance if you have 100 armor)

Slots:
Try and get a Mega / Knight (arm slot, puts up ATP+ATA) and Mega / Wall (body slot, puts up DFP+EVP) if you can, but they can get expensive.
Definately try and get a Perpa / Hit, for the ATA boost as you are a Beast.
For the body slot, either Perpa / Guard or Perpa / Legs is fine...
And as for the extra slot, Me / HP Restore is an awesome little unit that gives you 100th of your HP back every 5 seconds. This is awesome for soloing and lower level missions as you can get by without using mates!

Weapons:
A good Twin Handgun, a good single Dagger, a good Mechgun (if you have the ATA for it), and of course, Twin Daggers are a must.
Try and get ahold of a Double Saber of sorts, as its the staple of the Fighgunner and suits it best.

P.S. Good choice of Blast Badge. Zeed Val is what I use. The power (red) one can be good for Fighgunners. They all need testing yourself to see which one you prefer. The inviciblity one is the safest, as you can't use items.

I'd like to note that those advocating a Mega/Wall are a bit wrong. Get Mega/Rainbow from the Tenora shop - it's a global 8% damage reduction. :>

Wrong? I dunno. Different strokes and all that. Besides, the guy is on a tight budget and 10 grand might place his ability to buy better gear in trouble. Then again, I'm going to have to pick one up. Your suggestion/ reasoning is very good and my budget can hack it. I'll have to try it out and see how it effects my play style.

Speaking of tight budget, try to buy your armor and weapons from player shops. Research the NPC prices and compare them to PC prices. You should be able to get the armor/ weapons you need/ want for about 50-60% of NPC price. That is, of course, if you are willing to put in the legwork for it. Otherwise, just pay the NPC price and be done with it.

Synthing is risk unless it is a low-star item or you actually rank up your PM. I'd still recommend player shops.

[Krans]

Thanks for all the advice, i'll definately be buying from player shops the NPC prices are way too insane. I've been pretty good with money was up to around 50k on a lower level but just buying the shop and some of the guns as i did ranger were costly.

General consensus seem's to be
Gigaline Armor
-Mega/Knight
-Mega/Wall
-HP recover

im sure all that will eat my money but it makes sense to buy it since most of you are right about not being able to use A ranks, also what sells best in shops? it seems to be materials and cheap weapons, and is there any way you can see what people bought?

ps. on the update will there be better things released that i should just wait to buy until then?

Buy some twin guns! They are fantastic and may become one of your favorite weapons. Shoot for 5* or hold out until you can get some 6* ones. Use twin burn or twin freeze with them as they tend to help out a lot. But that's just me. Upgrading your armor is probably one of the most noticible upgrades you can do I think. I went from 4 to 6 star though but what a difference.

[Banert]

Agreed with the twin handguns, they are a blessing and they put the gun in fighgunner. As for armor, I fine the Gi-senba to work wonders(it has a head, body and extra slot, giving you all the defense you need against physical and technic damage, not to mention that it comes with a 20 something percent ice attribute). You might not need it now, but it keeps me alive in Mizuraki S runs, which are a great source of exp once you get up around level 40.
