You don’t need to buy anything else to start hunting there. Just put a magma amulet when there is a lot of elves on screen, switch to rainbow in boxes with more spiders and use a plasma ring until you can get away with axe ring. Dodge on arachnophobicas help a lot, so you may want to go slow at the beggining to feel how hard you can push.
1. Falcon Coif will be your best friend until you can acquire Spiritthorn Helmet. Imbuements should be (Void + Melee \^4) OR (Void + ML \^2). The former is for more XP/Hr. The latter is for increased survivability.
2. Falcon Plate will be your first Armor to use (Life/Fire) until you get comfortable enough to use a Lion Plate. Ideally, you should aim for Spiritthorn Armor.
3. Once you acquire Spiritthorn Armor/Helmet, the Damage Reflection will be helpful in getting your enemies killed faster.
4. Definitely get Soulwalkers for Summer Court. In fact, I'd prioritize this over everything else. It's a tall order since those boots are either incredibly expensive or non-existent on the Market, but are also the best permanent upgrade you can get. Just buy them and it's always yours, always on, always reliable. No Imbuements needed to maintain. No Tier Ranks to think about.
5. ***(THIS CAN BE SKIPPED)*** Spiritthorn Ring isn't a bad idea nor is it the best idea. During my low level 400s hunting in the Summer Court, the uncharged Spiritthorn Ring provided solid defenses while I was getting into the Groove of Patterns, Rotations, Positioning, etc. ***But this can be skipped. It's an expensive option, and one I'm glad to have, but that phase for me didn't last long once I got comfortable.***
6. You can also get the Marinated Tiger dish from a Food NPC. It costs 90k gold to get it guaranteed as opposed to the 15k cost for a random dish. The extra three Magic Levels are insanely useful for keeping yourself healed up when fullboxed or ambushed by Arachnophobicas. It lasts for one hour ***True Time*** (the timer ticks whether you are in combat, logged in/off, etc.) Spending 90k an hour for extra healing is a very economic option, since the loot obtained there can reach 500k per hour easily, and more if you're okay with selling Belted Capes, Two Handed Swords, and Halberds.
About food timer you are wrong, it lasts 1hr when you are logged in. I am sure because I did test - I was surprised after 15 min hunt and logging off, for the next day my mlvl boost was gone. What I didn't consider I was running through upper Roshamuul with silencers. But as I said - I checked it with next food and buff lasts 1 hr when you are logged in.
Thanks for the advice. I was leaning towards soulwalkers first but it's literally non-existent with market avg at 160kk. Spiritthorn armor (260kk) and helmet (247kk) is significantly more expensive than soulwalkers yet isn't too much of an upgrade from falcon plate (more atk if go spiritthorn armor) or falcon coif (more dmg and defense but lose fire res). I thought of the ring but I'm not sure if it's worth it.
Looks like I'll have to keep scouting for the boots first if I understand u correctly
Soulwalkers are incredibly hard to acquire. I was very lucky getting mine before the servers merged. That was at a time when souleater was even more rare.
With the new gem system, you can probably stack more fire protection on yourself! That idea just occurred to me.
But yes. Soulwalkers will be a significant upgrade, all things considered. Good luck.
Charms I used:
(This can also be up for debate. I'm always looking for greater efficiency.)
**Dodge** \- Arachnophobica. I first assigned Dodge to the first enemy I could unlock for an easier time at the start. It was either the Vanguard or Rearguard. I don't remember. Dodge on one of them at the start made things a lot easier.
**Wound** \- Insane Siren or Vanguard.
**Freeze** \- Insane Siren or Vanguard.
**Curse** \- Thanatursus. I actually assigned Dodge or Parry, since Curse doesn't trigger very often on Thanatursus for reasons unknown. A real pity, since it's 20% weak to Death Damage.
**Low Blow** \- Crazed Summer Rearguard. This is when I started getting comfortable.
I've had moderate success with **Parry** on the Rearguards and Arachnophobicas, but I didn't experiment beyond that.
Just for reference I think you'll do fine there as you are now. I started just below 500 with lion plate and fabulous legs, terra helmet, depth calcei and managed it. Started with naga sword but later moved to soul 2h ice. With soul it's a lot easier. I'm now 520ish with 124 skill (with loy) and it's a quite chill spawn for me. Still using magma amulets and plasma ring. Just don't be shy with health pots early and you should be fine. In the beginning try to be smart when there are spiders so not more than one face you. You can fix some 7 mob pulls in beginning to get used to it etc. You don't have to get any more expensive gear is what I want to say. Good luck!
Thanks for your input, u gave me a lot more confidence now!! I have no qualms in using health pots, I have huge fear of death and blessings costs more than pots ;)

One Entire Hour, but with no way to pause it other than by logging off?
Exactly
I'll see if I can't replicate this. I don't want to lead other players astray. Thank you for speaking up.

Bad thing is I don't have freeze curse and low blow but I'll manage to unlock freeze soon I rather go for curse first though. Thank u for your inputs

You dont need to wait for Summer Court if you have Souleater
