so by your way, to get a +3 you would 3^(3-1)+1=10. to get a +3 it only takes 9 though. the next one would be 3^(4-1)+1= 28. Agian you are one off, it takes 27. maybe if you got rid of the +1 it would work.

back on topic though, i understand needing a break. i still say good luck, and maybe one day i will try to do the same. i am more into defence then attack though, and armor cost more then 1-handers for a tao .

i will give you a quick tip to getting the money though ^_^. make an archer. i have a high leveled archer that can do the snake king quest in under 30 minutes and i have gotten a few good things for it (personal best was a refined dragon gem for 7m ^_^) the respawn i dont know, but i try every time it says the specail monsters have been spotted message come up, and sometimes he is there, some times he isn't. If nothing else you can just leave the archer in TG and you play on your other charater. All but the first levels (till i gained scatter) have been made in TG and my archer is all ready a very high level in less then two months ^_^.
