what he said, without tobs or ants you cant really upgrade after softcap, its not impossible, but it will take u a huge load of metals to actually get to +10
And also theres a huge difference between a softcap weapon and a weapon about to rollover the stats (4k on attack/defense/hit/evasion/critical, 64k on hp/mp)
1k attack on a weapon gives your character 3k attack, a 4k weapon gives you 12k attack, the difference is huge, without even considering critical, 4k critical can prolly give u a 6 or 7 damage multiplier (ur attack when crit is 6 or 7 times higher then non-crit)
Theres nothing special about a tob/ant server, specially high rate, but yeah w/e
TIP: use attackers, every other character is weaker with this setup, why? Attacker has 3 instant melee (unblockable) skill, since its EASY to rollover damage with insane stats, attackers have the highest chance of finishing an opponent in a single row of skills
