This guide was made for those, like me, who came from outdated, official or private servers, and are new to the concept of the 16.1 - 17.1 equipment sets. In here, I'll discuss about the gear progression for those episodes, as well as how to obtain them. Keep in mind that I won't go too much into detail for those and which is best for your build, there are many guides regarding the equipment for each build. The first 3 will be composed of skill-specific sets of equipment for every 3rd class, each for a range of level, which will help A LOT in the beginning, to level and farm for better gears. 16.1 - Banquet of Heroes Noblesse Set (Level 100+) /navi fortessa 75/136 16.2 - Terra Gloria Imperial Set (Level 125+) /navi fortessa 75/133 17.1 - Appear, Illusion! Grace Set (Level 150+) /navi fortessa 75/130 Illusion OS Set (Level 130+) /navi fortessa 84/112 Enjoy, and if you have any questions or suggestions, whatsoever, ask away.

This guide is meant for beginners who have little or no clue on how to farm for mid/top tier equipment in Niflheim, following it, you'll be able to make around 20m per character (I suggest you create 3 or more chars of a same class for this) in a single day with two quick instances: Enjoy, and if you have any questions or suggestions, whatsoever, ask away.

Tank & Devotion Royal Guard (Demonstration Video Included) So your party said they needed a tanky boi, and here you are, entrusted with the mission of protecting your fellow teammates, but the thing is... How to protect them, if you have no idea where to start with protecting yourself?! Follow me, and I will show you the secrets to achieving the "impossible", the ultimate tanky boi build, step by step! Build Objectives: - Neutral/elemental physical & magical resistance: no need to comment on this, right? RIGHT?! - MaxHP: no matter how much protection you can sport, your enemies allies are always there to take a hit for you... no, wait! <triggered> - Fixed/variable cast time reduction: instant Devotion cast heaven (Devotion has 1.5s of both VCT and FCT). - Hard Defense: this will be crucial to reduce part of the leftover damage (elemental melee attacks). So where do we even begin with our build? Equipment Cards Shadow Set Costumes Pet Consumables Skill Tree STATS and how my set looks like at the moment: Str for carrying more consumables/loot, Int and Dex for the instant variable cast, since Devotion has 1.5s and Luk for the Arc Angeling Card. Demonstration Video: Final considerations: With the 100% neutral damage reduction, you will be able to tank all NEUTRAL melee, ranged and magical damage from Fortessa Dungeons, Pit and Ruins (Severe Rainstorm, Cross Impact (if not poison enchanted), Ignition Break & Comet), Bio 5 (except for elemental melee & spells/traps) and anything else you attempt, such as end game instances and extreme farming. The partial elemental resistance as well as your Hard Defense will also benefit you greatly, since some creatures have elemental based melee attacks, which will bypass your neutral strategy. The extremely high HP will also help you tank damage from your DEAR TEAMMATES THAT YOU LOVE SO DEARLY!! The rest of it is up to you (player skill) of course, so practice endlessly until you get the feel of the build and are comfortable with the support skills and consumables. Enjoy, and if you have any questions or suggestions, whatsoever, ask away. and by the way, have you heard about my pie friend?

heyo

100% party play, 0 damage. You could try mixing it with the Genesis Ray build, but it's just a guess.

Alright, fixed the gifs and images that weren't displayed correctly and added a brief video demonstrating the build in Fortessa Pit 1, enjoy!

I had some material planned, with videos and everything but I lost it, unfortunately, I might log in to record again in the upcoming days.

I'm not a big fan of the Noble Mask, since you are left with so many stat points and there it's so easy to achieve VCT reduction, those are only my top picks. Same way as you could include Save the King as your weapon, unless you use GTB, which is my case. It's pretty expensive, but fun to mess around with

I forgot to add it lol

I'll update it with extra info soon

This will be my ultimate farming guide for more advanced players (those who already have their farming characters geared up and have AT LEAST ONE 1x character), and includes the best ways to farm for zeny, from MY perspective and based on what I've learned FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCES. (If you have better ways, feel free to share with the community) I will do my best to keep it updated, as new content comes into the server. (Just note that the price range between servers might vary a lot, so make sure to check the item prices / drop rate on your server.)

Very nice and updated guide, dear! Amazing, as usual.

Cannon Spear Royal Guard While Royal Guards may look like they've been left out and forgotten in time, at least damage-wise, I have come to show you that this is still a fun class to play with, even before the recent reworks, and the results were not disappointing at all. Ok, so first off, the build revolves around STR (the damage modifier is STR * 5), Long Ranged Damage & Critical Damage (Cannon Spear is now a true crit skill). Equipment Cards Shadow Set Costumes Skill Tree Damage This is how my set looks like at the moment: Conclusion: - Do your best to distribute and balance out STR, ATK %, Ranged and Critical Damage, and remember to make good use of the LUK Sticks and Abrasives as well, since you need CRIT rate 100, and Infinite Phreeoni will hardly benefit you (you'll loose too much damage, which cannot be replaced by lower costumes). - As of this moment, since we cannot remove 100% of Cannon Spear's cooldown (maximum being 1,5s), I recommend opting for Bio 5 Headgear + Patent Aquatic Spear over Trial Diadem + Fortridge, since if you have them well refined and enchanted, the damage, and consequently the DPS, will be higher than having this extra 0,5s cooldown reduction from it, not to mention the nice CRIT rate bonus from Expectation. Enjoy, and if you have any questions or suggestions, whatsoever, ask away.

Allow more than 1, but do not reduce the rewards, since it's too much of an effort for rewards MANY people judge as not worth it. I'd go as far as to say that the rewards should be improved a bit.

That's an interesting input, but I also don't think the no limits on Fortessa would be that great of an idea. Maybe adding more stuffs to Pit, Dungeon & Ruins would do the trick too. Also adding exclusive loots to Pit 2, since it's not worth going there, compared to 1.

yes, it would be much better this way.

In this guide, I'll be going through two very recent instances, and their respective equipment, some of which are still very sought after.

This is a part 2 to my gear progression guide, where I'll tackle the higher level gear, and how to create the current BiS armors, from kRO's 17th anniversary update, up until episode 17.2.

Yeah, some things aren't working properly, I didn't even bother to mention it, since it doesn't make a difference (until fixed, that is)
