Squid Slayer
Welcome, fellow crusaders or squires, today I will be talking about how a crusader's life is, but first you must become a squire and undergo intense training to then figure out to how to become one.
First things first, you must be a swordsman, and to be a swordsman you must be a Lance (the teenage looking boy) and be lv9-10. I won't get into much detail here because you can just check the beginning of this guide and you will know. After the annoying quest is done you'll be on the start of your path to Chilvary, and it will be a perilous one, but of great glory in the end. Picking a good name also helps with respect, but in the end it's up to you. Before you get to work, find yourself a mentor, even one that does not help you one bit, you do so in order to get free mini amplifiers of strive each time you level up and 200k when you hit lv41 (graduation level). And the last step before you start your bloody way to the top, talk to Newbie Guide in Argent City and ask her for a "STAR OF UNITY", you'll receive a pink box and you will double click it for a brown ring with an exp counter, it will play a part later on.
As for leveling the first levels, I would recommend doing:
0.1 - Cuddly Lambs until lv12, then moving on to
0.2 - Bear Cubs until lv15, starting lv15 you can kill
0.3 - Oysters or Angelic Pandas. Stay on pandas until lv18, then you can move up to
0.4 - Killer Shrooms, where you can stay up until lv22. I decided to move to
0.5 - Snow Lady in icicle around this lv because I started lvling alone, so my guide will be focused on solo plvl. Stay on Snow Ladies until lv25, and now you can go back to Andes Forest and start hunting
0.6 - Rookie Boxeroos until lv30. Now that you got a 2 handed sword you will deal much higher and more reliable damage, I suggest keeping it until lv35 at least, but you can use it even until you become a crusader. Now you will be lv30, with a lv30 newbie chest armor, lv25 greatsword (hopefully with good status), probably newbie gloves and boots if you haven't bought NPC ones from tailor, a Heavens Berry in your inventory and probably 20.000 gold from selling the loot from the monsters you were killing. Maybe even 1 New Sheepskin Scroll or 2, if you do, consider yourself lucky because you can get up 30k for each one of them, and that will help tons in buying mini amplifiers of strive and cakes and even a few skeletar chests of swordsman if you find some cheap enough (5.000-10.000 gold each). Those chests give you lv30 equipment that will be significantly stronger than the ones you currently use. Resuming the leveling guide...
0.7 - Mad Boars or Grassland Elks will be your next target, they are lv30 and lv31 respectively and boars will do some crazy high criticals on you, so you better be packed up with cakes, but their exp is good and they might drop NSS too, so it will help money wise. Stay there until lv34 and then move to
0.8 - Grassland Wolves which are lv33 and very aggressive. Stay there until lv36 and brace yourself for the hardest part of your initial journey, the road to lv40. Now you have the option of moving to
0.9 - Silver Mine 1, one of the most famous leveling spots in the game, which make most veterans greatly nostalgic because you have to party up with other people and kill bats, moles and mud monsters for a long time, or you can hunt Crazy Sheep and Ferocious Scorpions which are lv37 and lv38 respectively. You will kill monsters until you are lv40 and ready to undergo the...
1 - Crusader test which will require you to Hunt 10 Skeletal Warrior, collect 3 Warrior Certificates from them, gather 5 Greasy Lizard Skins and buy a Breast Plate from tailor NPC in Argent. Killing the Skeletal Warriors may prove hard and its likely you will need assistance of someone of higher level. You can just buy the greasy lizard skins so you don't have to kill the lizards yourself, unless you want to. Now that the quest is finally complete, you can proudly say you are a legitimate crusader. But now you need to find out how to distribute your skill points and status points, or you will never be truly strong. Pay a lot of attention to this as it is one of the most important parts of being a good crusader.
1.1 - Skill Points
I will show how I distributed my skill points, and how it turned out.
By lv15 I had Concentration at lv2, Sword mastery lv3
By lv20 I had Illusion slash lv5
By lv30 I had Illusion slash lv10 and berserk lv5
By lv40 I had 10 unused skill points
Then I became crusader and and used 2 points on dual sword mastery, just because its pre-requisite to other skills, and got blood frenzy right away, because it's one of the most important skills for your build, it increases attack speed. Now you are lv40, got dual sword mastery lv2, blood frenzy lv4, deftness lv3 and stealth lv1.
Q. "But Bruno, this dual sword mastery skill looks too good to be only lv2, 8% atk on left handed sword per lv? I must get it!!!!"
A. Not yet, listen to the reason for that. 2 words: Barbarosa's Fork. Its a weapon with the feature of giving you the effect of dual sword mastery lv10, while it's in reality lv2. It's super useful to normal crusaders and even more useful to FC or DS crusaders that got less skill points availble.
Q. "It sounds too good, what's the catch?"
A. It's expensive. Quite expensive. For starters of course. 99 Rums or 3.500.000 - 4.000.000 gold in the current prices. But it's a worthy investiment, believe me.
After lv40 you get much stronger and leveling gets easier, you can keep on killing ferocious scorpions until lv44, they are so weak it's not even funny, and they may drop a lot of NSS as well. You can do lv44 to lv45 killing Werewolf Warriors which are lv42 and are located near icespire haven, at deep blue region. By lv45 you should another 5 extra skill points and you should make blood frenzy lv6, shadow slash lv2 (it stuns your enemies) and what you do with your skill points from now on is mostly up to your personal taste, you should have enough experience by now to know what needs are most urgent. As for myself, I maxed blood frenzy, made stealth lv4, then worked on deftness until I maxed it, then maxed shadow slash and I am currently lv67 and maxing stealth (currently lv7). I did not touch the other skills and did not bother with Poison dart, break armor or taunt. After maxing stealth I will probably get poison dart lv1 and work on sword mastery. Poison dart can make crusaders unable to stealth for a few seconds.
1.2 - Status points
A tough subject, there is no unanimity. What is a consensus is: you should at least have 171 attack speed passively. Why? Because when you use berserk your attack speed will be 210 for a few seconds and your Illusion Slash (your damage dealing skill) will have its power increased. Some people opt for 210 passively instead of berserked, but for that you either need more base Agility status, agi rings or gems of wind, or a combination of them. Some people go pure str for higher attack and cover up their attack speed with agility rings (+20 from lv60 rings) and agility bonus from equipment. I decided to go for 45 base agi and then full str. My attack will be lower, but it will be easier for me to achieve 210 attack speed passively, which in my opinion makes up for the lost str.
With enigma crus boots and gloves, uns55 armor, dual BoE (10% atk speed) I'll have 198 atk speed, add to lv2 wind to the mix and I'll already be able to reset a few base agi points. It will be very expensive to do that and only 10% or less of the crusaders have financial means to do such thing, but you could replace the lv2 wind with a lv60 agi ring, BoEs with Agi Wyrms and there you go, 210 passive. As you get richer you can swich from agi swords to str swords and add gems in your boots to increase agility. A good crusader has a good mix of attack speed, HP, Attack power, hit rate and dodge (yes, being a good crusader is very expensive, very). Ever wonder why crusader equipment is so expensive? Because that's the class with most potential (my opinion) and thus the class most people choose, which makes more people want the same item, which makes that item more valuable and its price will increase.
1.3 - Making Money
Okay, you now may know what you need, but how do you achieve it? First you need to answer: how much time do you have to invest on the game? How patient are you? Do you like dealing with people or you rather avoid it as much as possible? Depending on your answer you will have a different method of money making. The most effective and realiable ways I know are:
A) Farming items such as the ones required for Language Barrier Skill, New sheepskin scroll, or runestones, or sealed blueprints, or cooking materials, or rare items used in crafting,
B) Selling services such as leveling other people for a certain amount of time, or level. Or helping people on quests, or being a cooker or manufacturer or whatever deal pleases both ends.
C) Woodcutting. Chopping fortune trees can be a good way to increase your income, specially with the demand on Charmed Berries and Heavens Berry.
D) Manufacturing items for pk such as flash bombs, soul detectors, or ship accelerators and atomizers which are multi purpose. Sand bags also provide a good source of income for new players, each bag costing about 7.000 gold average.
E) Cooking items for pk. Fried Doughs, Biscuits, Spring Rolls, Blessed Potions and all types of stuff people need to give them the edge on PK. This one is a little more risky because it depends on how alive the pk is and is not such a reliable way of making money.
F) Working in real life and buying rum to support the server and selling items that are very needed by the community and only available through item mall such as rations, tickets to spring and summer, pet fruits and party exp fruits.
G) Salvaging bayside wreckages for gems. Requires dedication and luck.
There are other ways but I think I have given you enough options to consider.
1.4 - Equipment to use
Until lv40 you will basically be doomed to use the average equipment obtained for free in the newbie chest, they are good enough to survive. But after you become a crusader you have to pay much more attention to the equipment you are using because you will need to keep up with the other players and monsters. Remember the Star of Unity I told you to redeem? After you get to lv41 and do class change you can talk back to the npc to trade it for a lv50 Sword with purple name (white\grey name = bad status|green name = average status|purple name = great status|pink name = unsealed equip, top tier) and possibly bonus status such as +7 str, or +7 agi, which can be pretty helpful since its free. If you are super incredibly so oh mygod lucky you could get a Cardic (combination of 3 status) saber with str,agi and con bonus, and any dser with spare money on their pockets would pay many millions for a sword like that.
Another good way to get useful equipment is buying chests like Skeletar Chests (for lv30), Incantation Chests (Lv40), Evanescence Chests (lv50) and Enigma Chests (lv60) from players. Equipment from those chests will be strong enough to give you freedom to lvl up in the isles accessible from Island Teleporter and to do mazes that open every 3 hours like Forsaken City(lv45), Dark Swamp(lv55) and Demonic World (lv50+).
Above chest equipment we have Chaos Set obtainable from Chaos Argent (a maze that opens twice a day), but I would not recommend them for crusaders, because claw gives you low hit rate, paw gives you low dodge, and frame gives you low defense. Paw could be useful if you value movement speed over dodge, it makes you a lot faster, and Frame is useful if you value more hp and attack instead of more defense, but at a higher cost.
Above Chaos set we have Unseals, which are the result of a sealed equipment obtainable from mazes being unsealed through the power of runestones and a researcher npc. They give bonus to many status and overall top notch grade. We have unsealeds for level 45 (Blade of Incantation, Platemail of the Cursed Soul), lv55 (Dance of Evanesnce, Armor of Evanescence, Greaves and Gauntlets of Evanescence), lv65 (Blade of Enigma, Armor of Enigma) and lv70 Boss Stones (Hermes framestone, clawstone, pawstone - pawstone sucks). As you can guess, they are very expensive. Acessible to few, the cheapest piece of any of these unseals is the hermes pawstone, costing 500.000 gold, the most expensive is Blade of Enigma costing up to 45.000.000 gold.
Above unseals (yes, there's something better, but it's so unnatainable currently I barely count, just including for information purposes) we have corporeal\rightful black dragon equipment, which are an upgradade version of regular black dragon equipment obtainable from Black Dragon Altar, which drops from Black Dragon (a boss). Nobody is even lv75 yet so they couldn't possibly be used if someone had them.
1.5 Making your equipment better
You can make your equipment give you more bonus if you fuse them into an apparel and do a process called upgrading effectiveness, which needs x1 Strenghtning crystal and x1 strenghtning scroll along with a salty fee for shaitan's greedy blacksmith. It can fail and failing in succession can lead to rage quitting, be warned
.
You can also create sockets in your gear and put what we call "Gems" into them. Each gem gives a bonus in status and to each gem you wanna put in a piece of equipment you need a corresponding level refining gem. The gems currently worth gemming are: Shining Gem (+100 hp, armor and shield), Glowing Gem (+5 defense, goes on armors and shields), Lustrious Gems (+5 Hit rate, goes on swords and gloves), Shadow Gem (+2 dodge, poor status but glows pretty, hey, being cool counts, goes on swords and boots) and the most desired of all, Unique Gems and Black Dragon Gems which are: Gem of rage (+5 str on swords), Gem of wind (+5 agi on boots), Gem of Colossus (+5 con on armor and shield), Black Dragon Eye (+50 Attack on swords), Black Dragon Soul (+3 Physical resist on armor and shield), Black Dragon Heart (+500 HP on boots and gloves). Unique gems are all worth 20m +, Black Dragon Gems are exclusive to the Top guild, which unfortunately 99% of us are not part of
.
1.6 Leveling up as a crusader
I highly suggest you to create an herbalist to aid you in your leveling up, being buffed and healed all the time saves you money on cakes and time because you kill things faster. I also suggest you give it a break from leveling at lv45 to go to a maze called Forsaken City and kill monsters until you have 2 or + goddess favors, they will be required if you have any plans on doing rebirth quest.
After lv45 you can level up at Undead Archers, until lv48.
From lv48 until lv53 or 54 you can lv up at treants.
From lv54-60 You can level up at guardian angels.
From lv60 to 63-64 you can lv up at Bloodthirsty Hunters.
From lv64 onwards you can lv up at Isle of Fortune.
Since there is no Mirage, no sandbags lv4 or incredible exp carnivals, from lv70 onwards you just gotta pray there is hexa and still lv up at fortune or summer isle.
1.7 Being a true knight
Number one rule is: you must always be respectful to others, if you can't do that, go for silence, and if you can't do that either, unscrew the pommel of your sword and end him rightly.
Number two rule is: you shall be as helpful as possible to the ones in a lower position. Giving information doesn't hurt, and if you don't have time for it, at least be nice about it.
Number three rule is: you must always be honest and never take hold of something that is not rightfully yours, that means no scamming, no hacking, no taking advantage of people who lack information. Not only these things are illegal, they are also dishonorable, what greater shame for a knight than being a vile mouthed pedant that is a burglar? Not even being a coward or a weakling is as shameful.
And to end this guide, a picture of myself. Cheers for taking your time, best of luck on being a crusader.
