I am currently stuck at HI8 because I have nowhere to level. The monsters in LLGC red hit too hard and I die there easily. I thought of getting more HP leech like 10%. Can someone recommend what relics/gear I can use here?
Have you tried SrS (School of Rising Sun" in Laidong? For SrS you will need Red Normal passes, not Superior's, it's great for HG - IS 1 or 2. By then you will be ready for KL or QD. Dont rush to get high lvls, things slow way down and if you're not into PvP then you may want to join a league thats no at war with other leagues. AM set is a good set to start with, if you can afford that look for old Dark Ghost Sets (HG Sets). I forgot to ask you, what role are you? Healer/Nuker/Warrior or Hyb (Melee or CK). You really dont need high lvl refined gear with your lvl, not til later on. So farm CCD/KL for gold and Good Luck in game! Later!
*UPDATE* - I now have 10%+ HP leech, which allows me to grind in LLGC red. Grinding goes slowly though, as my character only has 260k damage. So that is something I still need to work on. My gear is a reaper weapon, blood sorcerer set 1.8k def orns, red sun regalia deco, Seowang's set, goku 10s, tian shan fire, and some more. My role is a warrior. Currently HI 10 grinding in SrS red. The mobs just turned light blue, but still levels faster than LLGC red. I think I can grind there till HI12.
