vhaaaaan 0 Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) DISCLAIMER Expensive. This guide is a work in progress -- everything you see here can be replaced/adjusted depending on game updates. This guide is based on my knowledge about the game, experience, opinion, and preference. This is NOT a newbie guide. If you are starting from scratch, this guide is not for you. This article is just a guide. It's up to you if you will follow everything. There may be errors and/or inaccuracies in this guide. Feel free to correct me thru the comment section. I'll try to keep this guide up to date as long as I still play the game. Overview: Fire build Crimson Arrow & Rock Down - CA as your main damage skill. RD is just like your add-on/extension. Crimson Rock Chain Lightning build Pending: SVS build Mid-tier-ish setup for the three Fire build - Crimson Arrow & Rock Down Spoiler Minimum Requirements 190 ASPD 75% ACD reduction 100% VCT reduction Stats Str: leftover Agi: 125 Vit: 110 Int: 120 Dex: 86+- Luk: 89 Traits Spl: 100 Con: 97 Endgame setup Spoiler BiS gears Upper headgear: Thanos Magic Helmet-LT [Earthy Power Magic Lv3, ME3] Middle headgear: Victorious Wing Ears [ACD-3%, ACD-3%] Lower headgear: Young Leaf of World Tree [Spl, MATK, Int] Armor: Automatic Armor B-type [2x Magic Power, ACD] Weapon: Aeon Staff-LT Shield: N/A Garment: Convertible Magical Wing Shoes: Hero Boots-LT [Wise, Spell, Int/Agi5] Accessories: Heroic Token (Arch Mage) and Hero Insignia [Intelligence, Spell4, Int5/Agi5] Shadow sets: Full Tempest Shadow set, True Gemstone Shadow set, Magical Spell Shadow set, Separate Reload Shadow Shield Costume stones: Archbishop stone (Upper and Lower), Magic Power Stone (Middle), Arch Bishop Stone I/II (Garment), Reload Stone (Dual) Other enchantments Weapon: ACD MATK against Normal/Boss monsters. Normal > Boss. IMO Shadows: A mixture of MATK%, ASPD, and/or VCT reduction. Alternatives for BiS gears Upper headgear: Bacsojin Doll Hat-LT Lower headgear: Arch Angeling Balloon [MATK] Shadow sets: Clever Shadow set BiS cards Upper headgear: Fenrir Card Middle headgear: Kiel D-01 Card Armor: Realized Amdarais Card, Nightmare Amon Ra Card, Greater Red Pepper Card Weapon: 1x Regenschirm Scientist Card and 1x Mutated White Knight Card Shield: N/A Garment: Deep Sea Witch Card Shoes: Fallen Bishop Card, The One Card, Death Witch Card, R001-Bestia Card, Azure Princess Card Accessories: 2x Mavka Cards NOTE Equipping Bacsojin Doll Hat-LT provides mediocre damage but beats out Thanos Magic Helmet-LT when it procs. Moderate damage boost when proc'd. Bacsojin Doll Hat-LT proc rate is good but not excellent. However, it procs frequently when hitting multiple targets at the same time. Fenrir Card can be replaced with either Lichtern Red Card, Mutant Coelacanth Card, or another Kiel D-01 Card. No need for ACD module in your Automatic Armor if you rock 2x Kiel D-01 Cards. Get a different module. If you need additional ACD reduction and ASPD, use Separate Reload Shadow Shield and keep the Magical Spell Shadow Weapon. You can either use Arch Bishop Stone I or II (Garment) stone. Test them both to see which between the two will give you better damage. In my case, II is better, a slight boost in damage compared to I. I never had Survival Circlet-LT nor Beast's Leather Shoes. Thanos Magic Helmet-LT and Hero Boots-LT look better IMO (end game). Utilize /q2 command. Close your skill bar - noticeable difference when spamming CA&RD. Try it yourself to see. Remember to close again your skill bar whenever you change map or use fly wings. Tedious work but definitely worth the effort. If you do not see an item/card that isn't listed/mentioned here, that means it's either I do not recommend it or have forgotten about it.

Beware that spamming CR on enemies when in party may annoy other DPS classes as CR knocks back enemies. Fenrir Card can be replaced with either Lichtern Red Card, Mutant Coelacanth Card, or another Kiel D-01 Card.

If you aren't wearing these two, that's the only time you go for Crimson Strain modules instead of Shadowspell. Thanos Two-Handed Staff-AD is easy and not so expensive to craft. Ungraded is acceptable. Regenschirm Scientist Card only works on Two-Handed Staff weapon FBH card is not expensive Chain Lightning - UPDATED 01/03/2023!!! Spoiler Requirements 193 ASPD.

Warlock 1 Posted April 28, 2022 Never had this much fun playing mage class for the first time. Thank you for the guide, I had to try it. I leveled my booster to 100 by killing: Ant Egg until Firebolt skill @10. Then Sandman, Sleeper, Drosera and Muscipular.. Spamming Firebolt and Meteor Storm left and right got me there quick. Went to lasa_dun03 until I maxed out Crimson Rock !! Wreaked havoc at ba_bath until level 150 using Reading Spellbook x2 --> Teleport --> Release onto mobs. Rinse / Repeat. You can cut short "Read time" with Infinite Fly wing, skill won't get cancelled, this helped a lot with leveling. Early to Midgame gears Drooping Thanatos / Poring Sunglasses Arch Angelring Balloon / Robust Magical Armor 2012 RWC Memory Staff --> Aeon Staff (at lvl 100) Candy Bag Backpack (magic) --> Temporal INT Manteau Booster Shoes --> Temporal INT Boots (at lvl 99) Chambered 2012 RWC Ring and Pendant Cards Lichtern Red / Fillia Sweet Nightmare Red Pitaya / Red Pitaya --> True Kathryne Keyron x2 Deep Sea Witch / Nightmare Verit Berzebub x2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
