| Actually DA hardly affects drilling once you get basic Detect. I mean, even item detect requires a measly 39DA for maximum drilling.
Still, I'm not saying do not get Basic Detect. I'm just saying don't get it until AFTER you get your hunting abilities. Up until Gun Booster, nothing should be altered. If you want sticky foot after that, or basic detect, etc. That'll work.
However the key to a LK fox is one thing. LEVEL. Not TM, not digging ability. Base level is the #1 most important thing to a compounder fox. If you gimp your ability to gain EXP, then you will find yourself taking forever to get to the point where you make a profit.
The reason why I say that DA foxes can get Basic Detect is that they don't suck at killing as much as LK foxes do. Until Detonator/Mist, LK foxes are pretty much gimped DA foxes when it comes to hunting. Therefore, they cannot afford to lose precious skill points so early. After Gun Booster, you will pretty much decimate almost anything. Adding Sticky Foot is overkill, but it'd do the job.
If you even think about compounding a single item before level 100, then you have your hopes a little too high.
Lastly, as a driller, I know it's incredibly difficult to be in places such as Vamp or Phantom 3 without good hunting ability. This guide fails in the sense that you will ONLY be able to drill in non-aggro rooms such as phantom 1-1 and gates. When it comes down to the real digging, you won't be able to survive long enough to even get items with this build.
Hunting ability is incredibly important, and it separates the good money making foxes from the bad. |
