Re: New to COR, a few questions
To be very honest, i only used around 500k on ammo until 68. (my server bullets are 50k-60k and iron 100k)
I never even have to farm for bullets.

You might think i am lying but here is why.

little info, i started the account with whm 1-30, rng 1-38 then corsair 1-68 (now)

1. i leveled /rng from 1-38 with 40k or less capped MM at the end of 38. (also gear is usable on COR as RNG)
2. I leveled cor melee up to 40. (i never pull, and if i do, i use /brd or darts. )
3. 40-50 doesn't grind on bullets, i used only 10 stacks of bullets.
4. after 50...buy one stack iron bullets (100k) and it will last you until 60. By 50 you will grind roughly 2-3 pouch per level.
5. Never brother level ninja, its practically useless if you did not started as whm.
6. if you tell me ninja is for pulling, i rather use whm to pull "Blink +stoneskin + bar spells rules after 60", if you tell me you are meelwith dual weild,..well i won't say anything because you are doing 0-1 dmg with a archer knife (unless you have kukri)
7. Never buy a gun until 56 (matchlock) or wait until hexagun.
8. Level brd, it will help save the cost.
9. Make mana burn party, /brd most of the time.
10. Setup so that equip Iron for QD + slugshot macros. (maybe barrage too) and switch back to normal bullet during normal attack.

So far i could tell you,
40-50 = 10 pouch bullet (about 60k)
50-60 around 2 12xpouch + 1 12x iron (about 230k here) (but i did few level without shooting /brd)
61-68 3 pouch of bullet + 1 stack iron per level (sometime goes to -5 stacks. so far around 200k-300k carry from some bullets from 50-60s)

Cards are pretty cheap, i only used like 2 stack light +dark + 3-4 ice so far.

Now gear wise:
You could just get some weak armor anyway they are pretty cheap, Just eat sushi you will hit anything with the crappiest gear. (however i personnally did get gun belt @30... (which is godly) all +1 items, spectacles, trailer kukri. and +1 rings. And hexagun XD

Now, let's see how these above people will talk^^
