If you’re here, you’re probably new to Shining Moon. (if you’re not let me know if something is wrong) So first and foremost, welcome! We’ll go over some general information to get you started. If you wish to look into things more in-depth, a link to an existing guide will be provided (if it exists, if it doesn’t, maybe someone may write one eventually XD). Important Features Babies! Always wanted to be that adorable baby but gravity decide you had to be punished for a being son/daughter of your parents? Let that be a limiting factor no more! Babies on Shining Moon have no penalties aside from a slightly longer job leveling path to balance out the stats. You do however get access to transcended skills to help with that. Leveling Path Baby Novice -> Baby Acolyte -> Baby Priest [ 99 / 70 ] -> Baby Novice -> Baby Acolyte -> Baby Priest [ 99 / 70 ] -> Baby Arch Bishop Loot System 2.0 All members of the party will have their individual chance for item drops. Think Diablo 3 system. Each party member will have their own roll chance. Class Mastery TLDR – you can have 3 different classes on a single character. If the first class is levelled at 1x rate, Bonus 50% drop applies to all classes. For more info - https://www.shining-moon.com/w/index.php/Class_Mastery World Boss There will be an initial tutorial which will explain it upon creating your first character, however lets just go over it quickly. There are 7 world bosses, each with their own immunities and randomness. Ice Queen – Melee Damage Only Poison Queen – Ranged Damage Only Possessed Poring – Magic Damage Only Demigod Harmonia – Immune to nothing. Map turns PvP. Demigod Nsphynx - Immune to nothing. Map turns PvP. Ains Ooal Gown - Takes 100% from 1 source, 50% for others, Map turns PvP. Shalltear Bloodfallen - Heals for 20% of every non-skill physical attack, Summons at 50% & 30% For more info - https://www.shining-moon.com/w/index.php/World_Boss World Drop Every monster kill gives you a random chance for world drop. For the full list of features refer to the below links Niflheim - https://www.shining-moon.com/w/index.php?title=Features Helheim - https://www.shining-moon.com/helheim/index.php/Server_Information EXP rates On Shining Moon, you can change your exp rates at any time. @baserate @jobrate It is generally chosen between 1x & 100x, why you say? Mainly for bonus drop rate. If at any time you change @baserate prior to reaching 175, you will have your maximum drop bonus toggled to the highest rate set. Eg at lv 174, you keyed in @baserate 100, you instantly forfeit any possible drop bonus as that is considered your highest exp rate used. Use @ratecheck if you cannot remember if you’ve ever changed your exp rates. It’ll show you your maximum rate used. Exp Rate : Drop Rate Upon reaching 175, the Bonus Drop Rate Buff Server differences Okay! Enough talking about features lets start on selecting a server so we can start playing! Currently you’re down to 2 choices. You can go vice-versa between both servers with use of World Gate in main cities. Your progress on both servers however are separate, and if one server goes down. You may get booted to the other and become a 1/1 Novice, just check the mini buff icon that shows you which server you are on. Key takeaways Niflheim Item variety will consist of KRO, IRO & JRO gears Custom Wings & enchants Magic can Crit (As of writing this guide) All skills prior to 3rd Classes are Variable Cast Time. Default 50% after cast delay, You still need 100% via gears if you want it to be 0 cast delay. Soul System (+10 all stats) Helheim Purely KRO content & some Quality of Life customs. It's obvious this guide is written by a Niflheim player isn't it? Example of available enchant differences Red – Niflheim, Blue - Helheim So, if you want to deal tons of damage, come to Niflheim. We have the cookies. Leveling Leveling basically falls down to what base exp rates you are leveling at. it is generally recommended to make a 100x and get some basic gears prior to starting 1x. For the Masochist For the Fast Levelers General takeaway for Helheim players, as Gramps is considered IRO. You’ll be relying mainly on bounty boards to hit level 175. Dark Bishop, Evil Druid & Wraith Bounty can be done simultaneuously at @warp gl_chyard, you'll complete them at a ratio of 3 dark bishop : 2 wraith : 1 evil druid. Scaraba Bounty is a great source of exp. Illusion Dungeon of Labyrinth is a good source of experience for those beyond 175 What do I make? What’s the strongest? Short Answer – anything you want, however if you want meta builds, please refer to the below. Current Metas Nif – Ranger(Sharpshooting), AB (Adoramus), to be honest everything here can deal tons of damage.
