I main a fairly unfunded in terms of gear (too much spent on cosmetics) Shade with 1m range.

Start with link skills, you can find a guide on the side bar of the subreddit. This should boost your range about 20-30k ish? (estimation)

Do the Gollux and Commerci prequests as they will become a pretty reliable source of income in the future, (~200m per sweetwater accessory on MYBCKN and ~600m-1b per reinforced/superior earrings/ring)

Make sure you do dailies (bosses) for reward points so you can get those free red and black cubes from the reward shop. Feel free to do Star Planet if you have the time to do it as well.

You should start by 70% tracing + 10 starring everything, you can innocence scroll your knuckle when you decide to prime or 15% trace it.

Farm or purchase your sweetwater accessories (tattoo/glasses), it should be easy to cube for 7% STR on each one. Basically either farm elites for epic pots or buy epic pot scrolls and epic pot everything you have, you should be getting cubes from commerci and bossing, so just use those cubes on your epic gear until you get 1 line of %str on each item, you shouldn't be worrying about tiering up at this point until you have at least 1 line of %str on all your gear.

Star your tyrants (they should give roughly ~30k range each if 5 starred or more if you have a lot of %STR), if you haven't gotten a cape already, ask if someone can carry you and let you loot the capes. Tyrant boots are pretty much free as long as you go hard magnus every week. Also, focus on getting the set effect for Gollux - gollux earrings, gollux scrolls, and rings are free. I'm pretty sure you can do normal gollux with that range. Additionally, by the time you are 180k ish range you should be able to solo Hard Gollux which gives ~20 coins a day.

When I 15% traced my knuckle, skyrocketed my range from ~400k clean to 600k clean. I also use a 21 att android heart which I made during fever which gives me around +22k range.
