User:GaoSN's Physical Hyper Novice Guide
Introduction
Hello, I'm GaoSN, a physical Hyper Novice main player.
Since it's not many information and stuffs about Physical Hyper Novice so i decided to write this guide from starter and keep updating it to day.
Note that this is only based on my experiences about playing HN for years, maybe it still has something missed out.
I hope you enjoy it.
Overview
Hyper Novice (HN for short) is advance Super Novice class with a variety of 2nd class skills at their disposal.
Hyper Novice still can be built in many different ways like Super Novice, but as damage dealer, there are just two kind of build: Physical and Magic.
To become a Hyper Novice, you need to start as Novice and keep leveling till based level 45 in order to change into Super Novice, then get both based and job levels to 99 for being Expanded Super Novice, and keep leveling till reaching Lvl 200/70 to change class into Hyper Novice.

Builds
There are like 3 main builds for physical HN which dependence on the skill: Critical HN, Melee HN and Ranged HN. There are also hybrid builds but just mixing Crit - Melee and Melee - Ranged depend on gear you put in Swap Equipment and the stats build.
There will 3 stages in each build, and all are for solo play without Alternative buff except for some cases.
- Early game: Build up for leveling from level 1 to level 260.
- Middle game: Start to grind to gear up, being able to do some instances.
- Late game: Farming high end map and do late game instance (if you can xD)
Early game
Leveling
| Leveling | |
|---|---|
| Level 1 ~ Level 99 | Keep following the tutorial for Novice Battle Manual and use it before reaching level 40.
Get level 10 then register with Eden Group and get your initial equipments. Train a bit at Payon Dungeon to get level 45 then change job into Super Novice. Train and learn your skill on Train at Istana Cave and keep killing Banaspaty for some |
| Level 100 ~ Level 200 | I suggest farming some  Eden Coin (25223) at Eden Board Quest to rent your Advanced Paradise Gear and Shadow Gears, as well as getting some skill points to focus on Breakthrough,  Back Stab,  Aspersio, Transcendence,  Faith (you can reset your skill at main to learn them) for leveling at Illusion of Moonlight.
For base status build you need to get a decent Attack Speed for Once you get base lv180, you can turn in some Unfortunately you really can't leveling on higher place than Illusion of Vampire because of lacking damage on the skill with just initial equipments. I suggest farming some zeny for saving to make some early stuffs and Episode Clear Tickets. (up to Ep 17.2) |
| Level 200 ~ 260 | When become Hyper Novice, you still need to do leveling a bit for some skill points. I suggest taking  Double Bowling Bash for leveling because it's very strong for mobbing and doesn't have cast time.
You now can start to grind better, some place i would suggest for farming and turning daily quest everyday - Illusion of Labyrinth, Illusion of Twins for - Odin's Past for Zeny and - Varmundt's Second Power Plant for When you have better gears, you can start doing main episode quests till Ep20, and work on making Dim Glacier Weapon (which i recommend) as well as leveling to get 260. |
Bash and 
Teleport, get 
Raid (Sightless Mind) for faster leveling at Illusion of Vampire, so after get 100 base Str you should focus on Agi and Dex.
