My FOmar's starting to get into the high levels now, and at the rate I'm going will be level 200 by Christmas. I've realised I don't have all the best equipment, and feel I may be wasting some of the enjoyment of this character. I've basically 2 options:
1. Stop levelling for a while, find some new items on my other IDs.
2. Continue levelling, and to hell with it, I've played the game a bazillion times already.
I looked at the item charts and realised I could make a Rainbow Baton easily with excellent percents by buying a diska from the shop with 50% on hit and 50% in some other area. Trouble is, I do not have the Magic rock. I've not even got Agito 1975, my FOmar is Pinkal and I've piped literally over 30 Pal rappies. My Redria is a RAcast, and is level 100, but has not completed ANY AREAS offline. He'd also need to pipe with telepipes, and to be honest, I'm scared. What's the strategy for killing Hildetors with non-tech users? I usually cower behind the hill just inside the door and spam Grants or Zonde (yes I know it's not weak to Zonde, I'm just fricking terrified of going near the thing). I'm rubbish with guns and I use a spread type 90% of the time, rifles and mechs tend to go off target and I know I'm asking for a megid up the arse while trying to aim. Then again, there IS my frozen shooter (acquired by my FOnewearl as I cowered behind the wall, spamming Grants with my heart thumping). Again there is the problem of aiming the fricking thing.
I'm not too worried about the telepipes situation, but whether I'm able to handle Hildetorrs without techs is a definite concern. I usually use traps with problem enemies which is useful for the entire party, IMO my RAcast is a better support character than my 2 main FOs (FOmar and FOnewm). But I'm not going NEAR those things to plant traps, no fricking way. I really want a Rainbow Baton though, and I'm not sure why I'm setting myself up for the agony, the search for Agito has been SHEER HELL, but I see other FOmars with these, and I REALLY WANT ONE. Is it MUCH better than a 50% hit diska bought out of the shop? Is there an ATA bonus, and is it much more powerful?
And why is it only 11 fricking stars? Jesus, my Twinkle Star is that, and it took nothing LIKE the effort this is going to get. However I'm NOT going to bother piping for Psycho Wand, so this seems the only alternate in terms of the uber equipment, and I imagine my FOmar will do a lot more damage with Rainbow Baton than his techs will ever do.
