| Compounding? Well, I was thinking of a new character, just strictly for compounding purposes, what do you recommend and why? | | (Offline)

| I'd suggest a DA fox. It would seem LK can only help you so much - as though its effect is capped somewhere - but DA seems to help, and it'd make for easier leveling anyway.
<edit>Oh, and skip compound master... I recently unlearned it and my compounding seems to have improved somewhat. ._.

| According to Trickster Online, LK helps increase the rate of getting a better bonus when doing a Mature Compound. After the Nate event (almost a year from now), the compound rate dropped by a lot. Even if you're Pure LK, it's barely noticeable for the change (hence why Anchors tells you to go Pure DA), but I suggest going Pure LK anyways. If you want, going Hybrid won't be bad either.
A Fox is usually recommended because they have two LK Buffs -- Lucky Seven and Aura of Luck. You can choose a Lion as well, but if you want that extra LK Buff, Aura of Luck, then you have to go Hybrid in your Third Job.
Don't get Compound Master ever. The skill is a waste of TM that doesn't do anything (or is barely noticeable). | | (Offline)

| Well, I also wrote DA because it seems to help comping... I've started equipping for DA instead of LK when I comp. I stopped getting constant mins. xD

| Oh, I see, well I have a Lion already, but I've tried compounding, and only got minimum results. So it's either DA or LK Fox? Is there a big difference between which one I choose? Or is it a small difference? | | (Offline)

| DA will make leveling a lot easier, I think, unless you have either really good or myshop DA gear... Whichever stat you add will have double the base value of the other, and that difference won't make a lot of difference early on where there are plenty of phys-weak monsters, but, later, when there are mostly phys-resist monsters, you might wish you were DA.
LK is much better as a tank, however - DA serves zero defensive purpose. Adding LK and getting all three available buffs is probably the easiest way to trump most mages' high LK from myshop or any AC lion's LK (with you being at an advantage against a LK gunner lion).
For comping... I think DA is better, if it's true that LK's effect is capped. However, it probably doesn't matter all that much right now.

| Do NOT make a pure luk fox, go DA instead. My 500 DA/220 luk lion does better than my 500 luk fox. Do get compound mastery though since it significantly increased my results. It's not guranteed to work, however when it does, it gives you nice results.

| But they say it's not as important, and is there an estimated level where I will have 150 LK? | | (Offline)
