Essential Equipment to Hunt

[Namine]

Orc skeleton is going to be really slow... though yes the cards are alright indeed. I wouldn't have the patience to stay there to 99 though.

If you're already in GC build, then certainly give Bathory a try. Sell the witched starsand for money, and farm for your crucial bathory. Whisper card can also be sold for a few mil as well.

For training gear, see if there's a cheap tormenting ghost hat on sale. It has reflect and it has 1 sp on reflect/attack too. This is ideal for you at this current point in time so it frees up your shield slot again. With shield slot open, you are open to go to new places again. The 30% resist will allow you to go to new locations, most notably thara frog against GH Castle 2 or Chiv 1 in the current event GH. If you got undead shield instead, go for Chiv 2 and try it out against the wight knights. The knights can hit pretty hard with high HP, but their exp ratio is quite high and the entire map is exclusively undead so the shield works on everything. Their drops aren't bad either.

On that topic, Castle 1 is swarming with Sinister Shadow. Dispel is their big thing but fortunately it does nothing against you! Just be careful of arc elder, but they are melee casters so you can give a wide berth against them. Mob the shadows and GC. See if you can handle the damage. They are very mobbable so it should speed up your leveling quite a bit.
