= Overview =
'''Work in progress'''
 
The Hyper Novice (HN for short) is a generalized specialist (or specialized generalist?) sort of class, focused on damage and armed with a wide variety of 1st and 2nd job skills to further enhance its capabilities while also greatly improving quality of life. This guide will hopefully help you get through the many great difficulties on the road to becoming a Hyper Novice. It is made in a way as if Hyper Novice is the first or one of the first characters you've created.
 
'''Notice: This guide is tailor-made for MuhRO. There are things here which may not be found in other servers.'''

|Self buff. On death and with Base EXP at 99-99.9%, level 5 Steel Body will trigger while also fully restoring HP and SP. Think of it as an extra life. Succeeding deaths will not trigger the skill. Relogging restores the extra life. At max level 250, it prevents AP loss and will always trigger on death. If you're soloing and you still don't want to go back to your save point, bring a couple of extra Fly Wings and teleport around until you find a safe area. Relog to get the extra life back. This is not applicable to builds reliant on Super Novice Soul Link (e.g. Mage builds using Welding Wand or Illusion Thorn Staff of Darkness), as logging off removes the weapon unless the Soul Link is still in effect.
'''This skill will always trigger at Base Level 250. EXP cap is not required. ''' Credits to Yami and Ocean Star for pointing this out! /ene
|-
|{{#Skill:270}}
|Self buff. Enter the following text in '''public chat''' (Send to all) to gain Critical Explosion status. Unlike the normal Critical Explosion, it gives +50 CRIT instead of +20, is very, very spammable and doesn't require Spirit Spheres or anything. It will work only in increments of 10% Base EXP (10.0%, 20.5%, 30.3%, 40.7%, etc.) or at max level. Very useful for Melee builds.
* Dear angel, can you hear my voice?
* I am <Your Name Here without the brackets> Super Novice~
* Help me out~ Please~ T_T
* Insert random text here
To quickly cast, put these lines in macro (ALT+M). '''Caution: Spamming too quickly will result in a 1-minute mute!''' But you can still use emotes though /ene
|-
|Bonus stats
|Reaching Job Level 70 without dying will grant +10 to all stats. Dying removes it, even well after.
Super Novice Spirit restores the bonus (1% chance).

= Builds =
With almost all first job skills and some second job skills at their disposal, Hyper Novices can be built in many different ways. This section will tackle three different kinds of builds - Mage, Physical, and Hybrid.
'''These builds are here for reference. You don't necessarily need to follow everything here exactly. <u> Be free, experiment and tinker until you've built the Super Novice that suits you best.''' </u>
== Mage ==
[[File:Mage HN .jpg|thumb|Mage build Hyper Novice treading carefully in the Ancient Factory.]]
[[File:Mage HN .jpg|thumb|Placeholder screenshot.]]
'''(Description WIP)''' - The Super Novice can take one of two routes - Mage or Physical. The Mage Hyper Novice will go through many difficult trials along the way, but by transcending above the challenges, learning from other classes and Breaking the Rules along the way, they triumph, going from Super to Hyper, and I got writer's block. I still wonder what rules are they breaking... The rules of physics, the rule of law... or the rule of er... I don't know.

|-
|{{#Skill:19}}
|4
|Prerequisite for Fireball.
|-
|{{#Skill:17}}
|6-10
|Deals decent Fire damage in a 5x5 AoE around the target and has a quick cast time. Very useful in taking out Earth and Undead enemies.
|-
|{{#Skill:10}}
|1
|Reveals enemies around you for a short duration. Prerequisite for Sightrasher.
|-
|{{#Skill:14}}
|5
|Prerequisite for Frost Diver.
|-
|{{#Skill:15}}
|1
|Prerequisite for Storm Gust.
|-
|{{#Skill:20}}
|4
|Prerequisite for Thunderstorm and Jupitel Thunder.
|-
|{{#Skill:21}}
|1
|Prerequisite for Lord of Vermillion.
|-
|{{#Skill:11}}
|1
|Prerequisite for Jupitel Thunder. A cute little Ghost element poke with a tiny AoE (3x3 around the target).
|-
|{{#Skill:16}}
|1
|Prerequisite for Earth Spike.
|-
|{{#Skill:9}}
|5-10
|Compensates for the Super Novice's very low SP pool at the early game and helps save some SP at the end-game when SP cost skyrockets due to certain equipment and cards.
|-
|{{#Skill:28}}
|3-10
|Mainly for self-healing. Also helpful in healing teammates.
|-
|{{#Skill:29}}
|10
|The increased movement speed and AGI means you'll be more mobile and be able to evade and/or escape attacks easily.
|-
|{{#Skill:22}}
|5
|Prerequisite for Blessing. Reduces damage from Demon and Undead race enemies.
|-
|{{#Skill:34}}
|10
|Grants STR, INT and DEX bonuses. Very useful buff.
|-
|{{#Skill:24}}
|1
|Essentially an improved Sight skill. Deals Holy Element magic damage to revealed enemies.
|-
|{{#Skill:26}}
|1
|Save weight, money, inventory space and the grind for a Creamy Card (or the zeny to buy it)!
|-
|{{#Skill:12}}
|Optional
|Requires Level 7 Napalm Beat and Level 5 Soul Strike. While it's optional, it is still a very handy skill and can be a life-saver in a pinch. Aside from blocking physical attacks at melee range, it can also prevent armor from getting broken from melee Armor Break attacks and shadow equipment from getting stripped. It can also block attacks reflected by Max Pain at melee range too!
|-
|{{#Skill:43}}
|3
|Prerequisite for Vulture's Eye.
|-
|{{#Skill:44}}
|1
|Prerequisite for Attention Concentrate.
|-
|{{#Skill:45}}
|10
|Your main source of DEX and AGI. Max this one for reduced cast times.
|-
| style="background-color: #B0E0E6; text-align: center;" colspan="4" | '''Expanded Super Novice'''
|-
|{{#Skill:81}}
|2
|Utility skill that deals Fire damage and pushes enemies away. Requires Sight to be active before use. Can be an effective means of escape when combined with Quagmire.
|-
|{{#Skill:83}}
|10
|Bombards an area with meteors, dealing Fire Element damage. Enemies at the target cell will get hit by all meteors, so try to keep them steady.
|-
|{{#Skill:89}}
|1 or 10
|Deals Water Element damage and a chance to cause Frozen status over a large area while knocking around enemies. Lower levels mean lower damage but much higher chances of freezing while higher levels mean higher damage but lower chances of freezing. Keep it at level 1 for crowd control purposes. Max it to level 10 if more damage is needed.
'''Notice: The skill has a tendency to push enemies to the upper right at the default orientation.'''
|-
|{{#Skill:84}}
|5-10
|An improved version of Lightning Bolt with an added knockback and removed cooldown.
|-
|{{#Skill:85}}
|10
|A larger and more powerful version of Thunderstorm with an added Blind effect. It can combo with Storm Gust. Storm Gust pushes mobs away but guarantees they'll be not too far apart while they're chasing you, which is a good opportunity to blast them away with this skill.
|-
|{{#Skill:90}}
|3
|Prerequisite for Heaven's Drive. Essentially an Earth Bolt.
|-
|{{#Skill:91}}
|1-5
|Prerequisite for Quagmire. Use this skill to reveal and damage hidden enemies that are a good distance away.
|-
|{{#Skill:92}}
|5
|Very useful utility skill that slows down enemies while also cutting their DEX and AGI, making escaping or killing mobs easier.
|-
|{{#Skill:66}}
|Optional
|Provides additional Weapon ATK and MATK to you and the whole party.
|-
|{{#Skill:74}}
|5
|Doubles SP Regeneration of the caster and the party. When combined with the skill Increase SP Recovery, SP consumption becomes almost a non-issue, which means less zeny spent, big weight savings and most importantly, very little to no fear of spamming spells.
|-
|{{#Skill:248}}
|Optional
|Adds up to 2000HP and increases Holy resistance by up to 50%. Get this when more HP is needed.
|-
|{{#Skill:249}}
|Optional
|If survival and not dying too much are one of the top priorities, get this skill, preferably maxed.
|-
|{{#Skill:105}}
|Optional
|Prerequisite for Repair Weapon. Adds a tiny bit of STR and ATK.
|-
|{{#Skill:107}}
|Optional
|Prerequisite for Repair Weapon. Adds a tiny bit of ATK and HIT.
|-
|{{#Skill:108}}
|Optional
|Repairs weapons AND armors by using certain materials. A very handy skill when soloing and quite useful to the party if there are no Meisters and Biolos around, especially in areas where certain enemies destroy equipment.

|{{#Skill:5076}}
|1
|Restores 1000 HP and 350 SP per second for 20 seconds, for a grand total of 20,000 HP and 7,000 SP. Affects self and all party members within a 31x31 area. When a party needs help to get out of a bad situation, this can help quite a lot. Beware of the ridiculously long 5-minute cooldown, so use this wisely.
|-
|{{#Skill:5075}}
|Optional
|Passive skill. Increases HP, SP, ATK and amount of healing received. Sizeable jump in bonuses from level 4 to 5. If even more HP is needed, get this skill.
|-
|{{#Skill:5077}}
|5
|Passive skill. Increases HP, SP, MATK and healing power. Sizeable jump in bonuses from level 4 to 5. Increases MATK, HP, SP and healing power. A must-have.

All skills except for Rule Break in the Hyper Novice mage tree have 10 points. Feel free to choose which skills you want to speceialize in. I went for a mix of Wind and Water elements and got Rule Break for even more damage.

|The Mage Tree's AP skill greatly increases the damage of all skills for 5 minutes.

|'''Paradise Set'''
|Chest
|[[Eden Academy]], Base Level 100
|'''HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!''' Upon reaching Base Level 10, get the full set by going to @go 16. Go one room up, find '''Paradise Equipment''' and talk to '''Lothaire''' to get the set '''FOR FREE'''. It will serve you well until around level 100, when you'll get better version. There are other options below, but this is one of, if not the best one to use from level 10-100.

Holden (slotted)

|-
|{{#item:2340}}
|Armor
|Yuno - King's Shop
|Starter Armor, though it's a little expensive at 89,000 zeny. Definitely better than rags that came from the dump ({{Item List |id=2352 |item=Tattered Novice Ninja Suit |simple=yes}}).
|-
|{{#item:15012}}
|Armor
|Orc Lady
|Decent starter armor. Slightly reduces fixed cast time and slightly improves the effectiveness of healing skills.
|-
|{{#item:2355}}
|Armor
|Eclipse
|MDEF+20
When complete, the Angel's Set gives a sizeable boost to HP and SP. There is a small chance Lv. 1 Assumptio will be autocast if you're under attack. Beware the After Cast Delay that happens each time the skill is autocast.
|-
|{{#item:2113}}

|'''Advanced Paradise Set'''
|Chest
|[[Eden Academy]], Base Level 100
|Upon reaching Base Level 100, go back to where you got the Paradise Set. Talk to Louis to get the Advanced Paradise Set in exchange for a couple of monster drops or by spending 10 {{#item:25223}} per piece.

{{#item:470017}}
 
{{#item:480014}}
 
{{#item:490015}}
|Equipment Set
|10 {{#item:6919}} per piece. Obtained by completing the account-wide [[Eden Academy]] questline.
|Good until level 125. It is highly recommended to complete the [[16.1 Banquet for Heroes]] quest chain to get this over the other armors. While it gives less MATK compared to the Flattery Robe and is designed more towards an autospell build, completing the full set gives quite a lot of bonuses, which include reduction in Variable Casting Time and Aftercast Delay, and can be further upgraded into the Imperial and Grace sets. Finally, to put the icing on the cake, they can be refined to +9 thanks to the {{#item:100128}} at a price of 10 {{#item:6919}}

|Best by level 200, but these will still serve you well even at level 250 if you still don't have enough resources to get the best equipment. An upgraded version of the Imperial set, this is the pinnacle of Eden Academy equipment. Each piece costs 20 {{#item:25669}} while the {{#item:100130}} costs 20 {{#item:25723}}.
|-
|{{#item:550044}}
|Rod
|[[Eden Academy]], Base Level 100 and above
|Go back to where you got the Paradise Set and pay Labraham 10 {{#item:25223}}. Initially gives decent MATK but leveling up makes it significantly better. It is surprisingly strong, dealing more damage than a +15 Crimson Rod and a +8 Fortified Rod. This humble Rod will serve you well, even beyond level 200 if much better rods are still out of reach. The glaring downsides - no slots and it can't be refined.
|-
|{{#item:5897}}
|Upper Headgear
|[[Cash Shop]]
|A good mid game headgear that provides a lot of bonuses.
|-
|{{#item:15068}}
|Armor
|Reno (@go 36), 20 Pure Energy Crystals
|MDEF+30
When complete, the Advanced Angel's Set gives even better bonuses compared to the normal version, though the HP and SP boost remains the same. There is a small chance Lv. 1 Assumptio will be autocast if you're under attack. Beware of the After Cast Delay that happens each time the skill is autocast.
|-
|{{#item:1680}}
|Rod
|Bathory, Laurell Weinder
|Gives a good amount of MATK at high refines. Better to use this as material for making other things instead of refining it to +15.
|-
|{{#item:2113}}
|Shield
|Lighthalzen Armory
|One of the best early-game shields the Super Novice could ever have - gives 20% resistance to all elements except Neutral.
|-
|{{#item:20718}}
|Garment
|[[Faceworm's Nest]]
|Gives lots of DEF, some MDEF and various stats.
Get at least a +10 with a mix of DEX (bigger priority) and INT enchants for reduced variable cast time.
|-
|{{#item:22008}}
|Footgear
|[[Old Glast Heim]]
[[Temporal Boots]]
|When paired to Giant Faceworm Skin, it gives a boost to HP and SP. If base DEX = 120, fixed cast time -0.5 seconds. This is very important, as you need to quickly cast spells and remain mobile. Try to get the Spell enchant. The second enchant can be Muscular Endurance or Lucky Day.
 
'''NOTICE: TEMPORAL BOOTS CANNOT BE WORN BY SUPER NOVICES IN OFFICIAL RO SERVERS!'''
|-
|{{#item:2924}}
|Accessory
|Eclage Glove Seller (10 Splendide Coins)
|This is the more offensive-oriented accessory. If your base INT is 110, equip two of these as it adds MATK for every 10 base INT and +1% MATK if base INT is 110.
|-
|{{#item:2898}}
|Accessory
|Nightmare Wraith Dead
|Gives a nice boost to MDEF (+15), reducing damage from magic attacks and the chances of being Stone Cursed and Frozen.

|Equipment Set
|[[Illusion of Labyrinth]]
|Early-mid game set. It can be further boosted with an {{#item:550030}} but it requires {{#skill:451}} to use.
For this level range, try to get both the Hood and Shawl to at least +7. This can be done easily by obtaining or buying {{#item:100423}}, which will refine them at +7 - 10 at random.
|-
|{{#item:400054}}
{{#item:400059}}<br>
{{#item:400044}}
|Upper Headgear
|[[Illusion]]
|Ignoring the OS weapons bonuses, these three are pretty much the same. They boost magic damage, especially at high refines. Choose which one looks good without an upper headgear costume.
|-
|{{#item:18874}}
|Mid Headgear
|Owl Viscount, Owl Marquees
|The cheapest and "easiest" to get slotted mid headgear. Other mid headgears can be obtained via the [[Cash Shop]], but only a few can be slotted by the {{#item:6396}}.
|-
|{{#item:15377}}
|Armor
|[[Illusion]]
|This is an upgrade over the Grace set but only at high refines (+9) and with modification modules. Gives a large increase in MATK (+100), even more MATK at higher refines and can be enchanted. {{#item:39540}} and two {{#item:39535}} are recommended.
|-
|{{#item:550044}}
|Rod
|[[Eden Academy]], Base Level 100 and above
|If better rods like the ones listed below are still out of reach, this humble rod will still serve you well, even beyond level 200. It deals more damage than a +15 Crimson Rod and almost the same damage as a +15 Rutilus Stick-OS with the MATK +15% enchant.
|-
|{{#item:26151}}
|Rod
|[[Illusion]]
|A strong wand that gives After-Cast Delay reduction at +11, becoming even stronger with enchants. Try to get the MATK +15% enchant. The Paradise Super Novice Wand you get for FREE deals almost the same damage as this at +15. However, it does have its advantages. The Paradise SN Wand has no slots while this has 2, and it doesn't require Super Novice Soul Link to use, unlike the Welding Wand and Illusion Thorn Staff of Darkness.
|-
|{{#item:550081}}
|Rod
|[[Bioresearch Laboratory]]
|An upgraded version of {{#item:550080}}. Refine it to +7 to gain access to level 5 {{#skill:2449}}, which will make leveling and killing monsters significantly easier.
|-
|{{#item:550030}}
|Rod
|[[Illusion of Twins]]
|Mid game rod that gives a lot of bonuses, especially when paired with an {{#item:19428}}. For this level range, refine both to at least a +7.
To easily get to +7, refine it to +4, obtain or buy {{Item List |id=100699|item=Twins Refine Box}} and it will be refined to +7 - 10 at random. There is the downside and hassle of requiring {{Skill Info|class=Soul Linker|id=451|skill=Supernovice Spirit}} from a Soul Linker to equip and re-equip, but the copious bonuses are well worth the hassle. Hassle.
|-
|{{#item:2113}}
|Shield
|Lighthalzen Armory
|Cursed Knight Shield or Illusion Silver Guard still out of reach? The Novice Shield is still decent, thanks to its 20% resistance against all elements except Neutral.
|-
|{{Item List |id=28942 |item=Cursed Knight's Shield |slots=1 |simple=yes}}
|Shield
|Cash Shop
|A good shield that provides many bonuses, especially at higher refines. Keep it at +4 if upgrading to a Purified Knight's Shield in the future.
|-
|{{#item:460018}}
|Shield
|[[Illusion of Twins]]
|A good alternative to the Cursed Knight's Shield and Purified Knight's Shield, it reduces Variable Casting Time and Aftercast Delay and can be enchanted. Highly recommended to get 2 Spellbound Nives.
|-

|Garment

|Max HP +1000. Adds 100 HP every 2 refine rate. Enchant with {{Item List |id=39542|item=Modification Orb<br>(Above All)}} and 2 {{Item List |id=39537|item=Modification Orb (Fast)}} modules.
|-
|{{#item:22197}}
|Footgear
|[[Illusion]]
|Max SP +200. Adds 20 SP every 2 refine rate. Enchant with either {{Item List |id=39531|item=Modification Orb (Vital)}} for more survivability or {{Item List |id=39530|item=Modification Module (Mental)}} for more SP, and {{Item List |id=39541|item=Modification Module(Fixed Casting)}}.

|An obsolete and ancient pair of boots gets a modern touch-up, making it GREAT. This pair of shoes gives a lot of bonuses, especially at high refines. Best paired with a {{#item:550081}}. Try to refine this to +11, then use the {{#item:100747}} to turn it to a +10 Hero Boots-LT.
|-
|{{#item:42209}}
|Accessory
|[[Illusion]]
|One of the best accessories for this build. Grants MATK +5%. {{Item List |id=39545|item=Modification Orb<br>(Magic Healing)}} and {{Item List |id=25680|item=Modification Module (Spell)}} or {{Item List |id=25681|item=Modification Module (Attack Speed)}} are recommended. Get Spell for increased magic power. Get ASPD for better spell spamming, provided Variable Cast Time and After Cast Delay are kept to a minimum.
|-

|Completing the Illusion Morpheus' Set and refining the Hood and Shawl to +9 and above gives a significant increase to MATK while reducing annoyances like Skill Interruption, Aftercast Delay and Cast Times. The set can be further boosted with an {{#item:550030}} (or Illusion TSOD for short) but it requires {{#skill:451}} to use.
For this level range, try to get a +10 Hood, +10 Shawl and +10 Illusion TSOD, then refine the weapon to +12 so you'll get most of the benefits without spending too much Zeny and dealing with too much RNG Minorous-poop. Once you're ready, refine both the Hood and Shawl to +11 and enchant them both with {{#item:29100}} or {{#item:29101}}

|An improved version of the Illusion Armor, it gives a large increase in MATK (+125), even more MATK at higher refines and can be enchanted. While the modules have better stats, further boosting requires higher refines.

|-
|{{#item:470122}}

|Upon reaching Base Level 100, you'll be given this chest, which contains a surprisingly powerful weapon and a set of advanced Eden Armors which will suffice until you earn enough {{Item List |id=25223|item=Paradise Coins}} to get the full Noblesse Set (see below) or after finishing a couple of quests which will give the Noblesse Set for free.

|Ignoring the OS weapons bonuses, these three are pretty much the same. They boost magic damage, especially at high refines. Choose which one looks good without an upper headgear costume. To easily get them to +10, refine them to +4, buy a couple of {{Item List |id=35160|item=ET insta-polish}} for 3 Endeavor Coins a piece, because it will refine them to +7 - 10 at random.

|-
|{{#Item:27356}}

|{{#Item:27176}}
|Garment
|A decent garment card, good for early-mid game. MATK +3 and ASPD +1% for every 10 base INT. If base INT is 120 and above, MATK +40. Increases ASPD, making spell spamming faster.

|Garment
|Best paired with the armor card {{#Item:300308}} for a 5% all property magic damage bonus.

Increases all property magic damage by 5%, and is further increased by 4% every 2 refine rate. Try to +12 the garment this card is slotted into.

===Tips and Tricks===
{| class="mw-collapsible wikitable mw-collapsed" style="width:100%"
|-
! style="background-color:#ADD8E6; color:Black;  width: 100% " |Strategy (WIP)
|-
|-
|{{#item:61151}}
|The Mage Build Hyper Novice is quite a challenge to level up due to Super Novice magic spells dealing adorable damage unless there's heavy investment involved. However, upon becoming Hyper Novice, the damage increases exponentially, and that's when its true power starts showing. <!--- This strategy is focused more on a modestly built Hyper Novice with very little to no consumables used even in the thick of battle.
'''This is subject to change depending on the market:''' As of the time of this writing, my idea of a "modestly built" Hyper Novice has the full Illusion Morpheus Set with the hood and shawl both at +9, a Paradise Super Novice Wand, a +9 Grace Super Novice Robe, a +9 Grace Magic Boots and a Novice Shield. --->
 
 
<u>Super Novice:</u>
 
*Focus more on hit-and-run tactics by leveling up quick-cast skills like Fire Ball, Fire Wall and Soul Strike.
*Safety Wall will be your wall of safety in dangerous situations but it will cost a lot of skill points.
*DEX will be your primary stat, very closely followed by INT, so Variable Casting Time will be reduced.
*Due to the Super Novice having absolutely atrocious HP and SP pools until level 99, your primary survival stat is AGI, not VIT. All the VIT and DEF in the world won't do much if you have a mere 700 HP. It's better to completely evade attacks instead of taking a hit with such low HP.
*Be very judicious in your movements and casting. You'll find yourself running out of SP very quickly or dying in just a single CRIT attack from Orc Zombies if you're not careful!
*When in a party... I have writer's block!
 
 
<u>Ex. Super Novice</u>
 
When soloing, I get writer's block!
 
In a party setting, You'll be the secondary support, providing crowd control and extra buffs and heals. Quagmire, Storm Gust and Sightrasher will be your main crowd control skills. Once you see the tank and its lures approaching, cast Quagmire on the mobs to slow them down in order for the DPSes more easily dispose of them. Also watch out if the tank lured too many or if there are monsters coming from the side and rear - use Sightrasher to push them away or Storm Gust to freeze them in place. From time to time, you may also buff your teammates, provide additional heals with your cute Heals.
 
 
<u>Hyper Novice</u>
WORK IN PROGRESS!!! Break the Rule of Er and destroy all who bring you down. Don't let them go, let them gravitate to you. Devastate their mental health, freeze them to the core, shock them with baleful thunder and call forth the wrath of the skies until they're no more. until they're no more. Beat the already dead horse by summoning the wrath of the skies and command the earth to swallow it whole, driving them down to a place worse than the deepest depths of the darkest hell.

[[File:PhysHN .jpg|thumb|Placeholder screenshot]]
'''(Description WIP)''' - The Super Novice can take one of two routes - Mage or Physical. The Physical Hyper Novice will have to deal with the inherent limitations of the Super Novice, having lower HP and SP than most other classes. However, by learning from other classes and improving their most notable skills, they Break through the Super Novice's Limits, transcending from Super into Hyper, and I got writer's block.

The example build below is an HP-leech focused build that sacrifices a little bit of power in exhcnage for increased survivability. It is ideal for slaughtering hordes of mobs, especially when a lack of power is compensated by increased survivability. Heal one's self by hurting others. The more, the merrier.

The skill is almost spammable, having no cooldown or after-cast delay. Just alternate Hide and Raid as quickly as possible. MuhRO's Turbo makes this significantly, significantly easier.

|A powerful but rather clunky melee skill which deals damage in a 7x7 area around the target and knocks them back.

While it is designed more towards a melee autoattack CRIT build, completing the full set gives a lot of bonuses, which include increased HP and CRIT damage, and can be further upgraded into the Imperial and Grace sets. Finally, to put the icing on the cake, they can be easily refined to +9 thanks to the {{Item List |id=100128|item=Noblesse Upgrade Ticket}}, for the low, low price of just a single {{Item List |id=25223|item=Paradise Coin}}!

|Strangely enough, equipping these two instead of their +9 Grace equivalents will deal more damage in most situations! However, there are no card slots and they cannot be upgraded. It is free and surprisingly effective. They're good until you obtain a +7 Patent Blessed Knife or reach level 200, when the Grace set's slots get a big advantage in the form of the Shelter/Happiness Giver card combo for Melee builds or Observation/Empathizer card combo for Ranged builds.

At +15, it deals slightly less damage (around 3%) than a +4 Meteor Strike. While significantly more expensive, the greatest benefits are increased versatility and weight savings (2000 weight saved!).

|Upper Headgear

|Dagger
|[[Eden Group]]
|If better weapons like the ones listed below are still way out of reach, this humble dagger will still serve you well, even beyond level 200. It deals more damage than a +15 Crimson Mace, +15 Crimson Dagger and about as much damage as a +8 Fortified Edge.

|{{Item List2 |id=500007 |item=Hypocrisy Machine |slots=3 |simple=yes}}
|One-Handed Sword
|Broken Security Beta, Verporte
|One of, if not the best weapons for Physical Build Hyper Novices, ranged or melee. An indestructible sword (not applicable to refining) that grows stronger the more it is refined while having an awesome quirk - it has 3 card slots instead of the usual 2. Refine this weapon to <s>infinity</s> +11 and beyond.
|-
|{{Item List  |id=510072 |item=Blessed Knife-LT |slots=2 |simple=yes}}
|Dagger
|[[Ancient Hero]]
|Currently the most powerful evolution of the Blessed Knife, it grows stronger the more it is refined and graded. Level 10 Fatal Menace is granted at +7, just like its lesser Patent form. Best paired with {{Item List2|id=470094 |item=Hero Boots-LT|slots=1}}
'''This part needs testing: +11 Blessed Knife-LT vs +12 Hypocrisy Machine, so this is purely theory and speculation:''' Unless you have a {{Item List  |id=28946 |item=Purified Knight's Shield |slots=1 |simple=yes}} with the "Remove Size Penalty" enchant or {{Item List2 |id=24150 |item=Infinity Shadow Ring |simple=yes}} and {{Item List2 |id=24151 |item=Infinity Shadow Bracer |simple=yes}} with a combined refine of +15, its damage will be on par or just negligibly higher compared to a Hypocrisy Machine at best, even when comboed with Hero Boots-LT.

|The current final form of the Ancient Hero Boots, this pair of shiny shoes gives quite a lot of bonuses, especially at high refines and better grades. It's an upgrade over the Automatic Leg A-type at high refines AND when paired with the {{Item List  |id=510072 |item=Blessed Knife-LT |slots=2 |simple=yes}}. Try to aim for a +11 Grade C at least.

|{{Item List |id=24619|item=Super Power Shadow Glove}}
|Shadow Gear
|[[Ancient Laboratory]]
|An improved version of the already really good Super Novice Shadow Gauntlet and the centerpiece of the Super Power Shadow Set. For Hyper Novices, only this is needed. The brooch and bangle are unnecessary.
'''Unlike what the description says, it DOES NOT need the Super Power Shadow Bangle and Brooch below to get the DEF pierce, just this glove and the SN Shadow Shield below and the refine rate of both. Type @battlestats or @bs to confirm.'''
|-
|{{Item List2 |id=24318 |item=Super Novice Shadow Shield |simple=yes}}
|Shadow Gear
|[[High Rank Shadow Gear]]
|Highly recommended to get this, as it provides a lot of nice bonuses depending on which skills are leveled. Max Owl's Eye to reduce Variable Casting Time and if necessary, max Double Attack for faster ASPD.

|{{Item List2 |id=24150 |item=Infinity Shadow Ring |simple=yes}}
{{Item List2 |id=24151 |item=Infinity Shadow Bracer |simple=yes}}

|Nullifies all annoying and pesky weapon size penalties if both have a total refine of 15 and above. If getting the "Remove weapon's size penalty" enchant on a PKS is too elusive or if the PKS isn't the best for you, then these two will do the trick.

While it is designed more towards a melee autoattack CRIT build, completing the full set gives a lot of bonuses, which include increased HP and CRIT damage, and can be further upgraded into the Imperial and Grace sets. Finally, to put the icing on the cake, they can be easily refined to +9 thanks to the {{Item List |id=100128|item=Noblesse Upgrade Ticket}}, for the low, low price of just a single {{Item List |id=25223|item=Paradise Coin}}!

|-
|{{#item:30150}}
|Headgear
|One of the best Headgear cards, especially when paired with the Deep Sea Merman Card. Insert this in high refine headgears. Max HP -5%, ATK +1% for every 3 refine rate.
|-
|{{#item:40015}}
|Headgear
|Boosts ATK in exchange for reduced HP and SP. If you don't have a Deep Sea Merman card, use two of this card. If you have a Deep Sea Merman card to pair with Deep Sea King Dramoh, insert this in a slotted middle headgear.
|-
|{{#item:27328}}
|Headgear
|Early-game card dropped by all [[Bios Island]] non-boss monsters. Increases maximum HP by 500 and maximum SP by 50 at the cost of receiving 50% more damage from Angel Race monsters. For this build, it is best paired with a Desert Wolf Card.

|-
|{{#item:300310}}
|Armor
|Increases melee and ranged physical damage by 4% every 3 refine rate. If having 120 Base STR or DEX is a bit too much and you want more stat flexibility, this is a very good alternative, especially when paired with {{Card |id=300422 Is the Catherine Gaebolg card implemented?}} for melee builds or {{Card |id=300426 Crux Findel}} for ranged builds. Try to +12 the armor this card is slotted in. All of these bonuses come at a cost of 10% increased SP Consumption.
|-
|{{#item:4082}}
|Weapon
|ATK +5 and increases damage to Small monsters by 15%. When combined with the '''Corrupt Life Card''', damage to Medium and Large monsters is increased by 15%. If you don't have the zeny or Contaminated Magic to get the White Knight and Khalitzburg Knight cards, this is a cheap alternative.
|-
|{{#item:4117}}
|Weapon
|Enables Double Attack when using non-dagger weapons, scaling by the level learned.
|-
|{{#item:4115}}
|Weapon
|Use this card if more survivability is needed. Adds a 3% chance to leech HP from enemies based on 15% of the amount of damage dealt.
|-
|{{#item:31024}}
|Weapon
|Boosts attack and adds a small chance to autocast Level 5 Ignition Break while physically attacking, resulting in sporadic bursts of damage. Good for autoattack builds but is heavily reliant on RNG.
|-
|{{#item:27339}}
|Weapon
|This card is good for One-Handed swords, as it fully compensates for their size penalty against Small and Large monsters. If you have a Hypocrisy Machine, use this until you refine it to +9, then find better cards.
|-
|{{#item:300231}}
|Weapon
|This card is good for good for one-handed Axes as it compensates for their size penalty against Small and Medium-sized monsters.

|-
|{{#item:4608}}

|-
|{{#item:300263}}
|Weapon
|When inserted in daggers and one-handed swords, it increases ATK and Melee Physical Damage, even moreso if you're level 200+ and the weapon is highly refined.
|-
|{{#item:4609}}
|Shield
|Gives 25% damage reduction from Medium and Large Monsters (30% if paired with WK) plus additional DEF. Greatly increases overall survivability as long as the monster isn't Small.
|-
|{{#item:300240}}
|Shield
|A much cheaper version of the expensive Mutated Khalitzburg card with slighty worse effects, namely the 5% increased damage taken from Small monsters.
|-
|{{#item:4413}}
|Shield
|A good all-around damage reducing card. Reduces damage from Small, Medium and Large mobs by 15%. It also has a chance to increase Perfect Dodge by 30 if you're attacked.
|-
|{{#item:4588}}
|Garment
|Early-game damage boosting card. +5 ATK for every 10 base STR. If you have 120 base STR, it means +60 ATK.
|-
|{{#item:27176}}
|Garment
|Mid-game damage boosting card. +3 ATK and +1% ASPD for every 10 base STR. If base STR is 120 and above, +40 ATK. If you have 120 base STR, that means +70 ATK and +12% ASPD.
|-
|{{#item:300271}}
|Garment
|One of, if not the best card for Melee Physical builds. Increases Melee Physical Damage at the cost of reducing Max SP. Melee Physical Damage is further increased when paired with a {{Card |id=4393 Mistress of Shelter}} and every 40 Base STR.
|-
|{{#item:300270}}
|Garment

|-
|{{#item:300422}}
|Garment
|If having 120 Base STR is a bit too much and you want more stat flexibility, use this card over the Happiness Giver. Best paired with the armor card {{Card |id=300310 Helmut Lugenburg}} for a 5% melee physical damage bonus. Increases melee physical damage by 5%, and is further increased by 4% every 2 refine rate. Try to +12 the garment this card is slotted in. All of these bonuses come at a cost of 10% reduction in Neutral Element resistance.
|-

|-
|{{#item:300108}}
|Accessory
|Increases HP and Fatal Menace damage. Further increases Fatal Menace damage when comboed with {{#item:27172}} and {{#item:300097}} cards. This combo is best used when your main weapon is a Patent Blessed Knife or Blessed Knife-LT. Very good for leveling from 175 onwards, but not the best for the end-game.
|-
|{{#item:27171}}
|Accessory
|STR +4, ATK +4%. Further increases your attack power, especially when combined with the Shotgun Buffalo Bandit Card (STR+3 and ATK+3%). Place the accessory equipped with this card on the right side.
|-
|{{#item:27170}}
|Accessory
|AGI +7, Hit +7. When combined with Revolver Buffalo Bandit Card, it adds an additional STR +3 and ATK +3%. A good card that increases AGI for faster ASPD and hit to further augment your already really high hit rate. Place the accessory equipped with this card on the left side.
|-
|{{#item:300242}}

=== Tips and Tricks ===

|-
|-
! style="background-color:#CC0000; color:White;  width: 100% " |Strategy (WIP)
|-
|The Physical Build Hyper Novice is about repeatedly spamming a variety of skills berserker style, shredding enemies into Chef's Kiss mincemeat.
<u>Super Novice:</u>
*You can focus on hard-hitting skills like Bash and Mammonite, or deal sustained damage over time with Double Attack. Both can be amplified with Provoke and Magnum Break.
*Like in the Mage build above, Safety Wall will still be your wall of safety in dangerous situations if you wish to have it, but it will cost a lot of skill points.
*Go for a more or less even spread of STR, AGI and DEX, with AGI and DEX being a little higher for increased survivability and actually landing hits. Add some INT to the side for SP Recovery and better Heals. Put remaining points into VIT or LUK, whichever is preferable.
*Watch your surroundings and always be ready to move out of harm's way. Archer-type monsters will can snipe from a distance and will often land hits, while mage-types like Evil Druid can cast a spell out of nowhere, and it can be potentially fatal.
When in a party... I have writer's block.
<u>Ex. Super Novice</u>
When soloing, I get writer's block!
In a party setting, I also get writer's block!
<u>Hyper Novice</u>
WORK IN PROGRESS!!! Shielding, throwing, never for defending. Hard head, bowling ball, striking not sparing. Sonically blowing, spiral piercing, stops the mega fighting.

'''(Description WIP)''' - The late-game Hybrid build combines the best of both worlds. While it doesn't have access to AP skills, it more than makes up in versatility, especially in certain places where both physical and magical attacks are required.

|-
|{{#Skill:19}}
|4
|Prerequisite for Fireball.
|-
|{{#Skill:17}}
|6-10
|Deals decent Fire damage in a 5x5 AoE around the target and has a quick cast time. Very useful in taking out Earth and Undead enemies and good in the very early game.
|-
|{{#Skill:10}}
|1
|Reveals enemies around you for a short duration. Prerequisite for Sightrasher.
|-
|{{#Skill:14}}
|5
|Prerequisite for Frost Diver.

|-
|{{#Skill:21}}
|1
|Prerequisite for Lord of Vermillion.
|-
|{{#Skill:11}}
|1
|Prerequisite for Jupitel Thunder. A cute little Ghost element poke with a tiny AoE (3x3 around the target).
|-
|{{#Skill:16}}
|1
|Prerequisite for Earth Spike.
|-
|{{#Skill:9}}
|5-10
|Compensates for the Super Novice's very low SP pool.
|-
|{{#Skill:28}}
|3-10
|Mainly for self-healing. Also helpful in healing teammates.
|-
|{{#Skill:29}}
|10
|The increased movement speed and AGI means you'll be more mobile and be able to evade and/or escape attacks easily.
|-
|{{#Skill:22}}
|5
|Prerequisite for Blessing. Reduces damage from Demon and Undead race enemies.
|-
|{{#Skill:34}}
|10
|Grants STR, INT and DEX bonuses. Very useful buff.
|-
|{{#Skill:24}}
|1
|Essentially an improved Sight skill. Deals Holy Element magic damage to revealed enemies.
|-
|{{#Skill:26}}
|1
|Save weight, money, inventory space and the grind for a Creamy Card (or the zeny to buy it)!
|-
|{{#Skill:12}}
|Optional
|Requires Level 7 Napalm Beat and Level 5 Soul Strike. While it's optional, it is still a very handy skill and can be a life-saver in a pinch. Aside from blocking physical attacks at melee range, it can also prevent armor from getting broken from melee Armor Break attacks and shadow equipment from getting stripped. It can also block attacks reflected by Max Pain at melee range too!
|-
|{{#Skill:43}}
|3
|Prerequisite for Vulture's Eye.
|-
|{{#Skill:44}}
|1
|Prerequisite for Attention Concentrate.
|-
|{{#Skill:45}}
|10
|Your main source of DEX and AGI. Max this one for reduced cast times.
|-
| style="background-color: #FFFFCC; text-align: center;" colspan="4" | '''Expanded Super Novice'''
|-
|{{#Skill:81}}
|2
|Utility skill that deals Fire damage and pushes enemies away from you. Requires Sight to be active before use. Use this to push back enemies away from you or party member/s getting mobbed to death. This is a very effective means of escape when combined with Quagmire.
|-
|{{#Skill:83}}
|10
|Bombards an area with meteors, dealing Fire Element damage.
|-
|{{#Skill:89}}
|1 or 10
|Deals Water Element damage and a chance to cause Frozen status over a large area while knocking around enemies. Lower levels means lower damage but much higher chances of freezing while higher levels means higher damage but much lower chances of freezing. Keep it at level 1 for crowd control purposes. Max it to level 10 if more damage is desired.
'''Notice: The skill has a tendency to push enemies to the upper right at the default orientation.'''
|-
|{{#Skill:84}}
|5-10
|An improved version of Lightning Bolt with an added knockback and removed cooldown.
|-
|{{#Skill:85}}
|10
|This is a larger and more powerful version of Thunderstorm with an added Blind effect. It can combo with Storm Gust. Storm Gust pushes mobs away but guarantees they'll be not too far apart while they're chasing you, which is a good opportunity to blast them away with this skill.
|-
|{{#Skill:90}}
|3
|Prerequisite for Heaven's Drive. Essentially an Earth Bolt.
|-
|{{#Skill:91}}
|1-5
|Prerequisite for Quagmire. Use this skill to reveal and damage hidden enemies that are a good distance away.
|-
|{{#Skill:92}}
|5
|Very useful utility skill that slows down enemies while also cutting their DEX and AGI. This makes escaping or killing mobs easier.
|-
|{{#Skill:66}}
|Optional
|Provides additional Weapon ATK and MATK to you and the whole party.
|-
|{{#Skill:74}}
|5
|Doubles SP Regeneration of the caster and the party. When combined with the skill Increase SP Recovery, SP consumption becomes almost a non-issue, which means less zeny spent, big weight savings and most importantly, very little to no fear of spamming spells.
|-
|{{#Skill:248}}
|Optional
|Adds up to 2000HP and increases Holy resistance by up to 50%. Get this when more HP is needed.
|-
|{{#Skill:249}}
|Optional
|If survival and not dying too much are one of the top priorities, get this skill, preferably maxed.
|-
|{{#Skill:5076}}
|1
|Restores 1000 HP and 350 SP per second for 20 seconds, for a grand total of 20,000 HP and 7,000 SP. Affects self and all party members within a 31x31 area. When a party needs help to get out of a bad situation, this can help quite a lot. Beware of the ridiculously long 5-minute cooldown, so use this wisely.
|-
|{{#Skill:5075}}
|Optional
|Passive skill. Increases HP, SP, ATK and amount of healing received. Sizeable jump in bonuses from level 4 to 5. If even more HP is needed, get this skill.
|-
|{{#Skill:5077}}
|5
|Passive skill. Increases HP, SP, MATK and healing power. Sizeable jump in bonuses from level 4 to 5. Increases MATK, HP, SP and healing power. A must-have.

All skills except for Rule Break in the Hyper Novice mage tree have 10 points. Feel free to choose which skills you want to speceialize in. I went for a mix of Wind and Water elements and got Rule Break for even more damage.

|Good until level 125. It is highly recommended to complete the [[16.1 Banquet for Heroes]] quest chain to get this over the other armors. While it gives less MATK compared to the Flattery Robe and is designed more towards an autospell build, completing the full set gives quite a lot of bonuses, which include reduction in Variable Casting Time and Aftercast Delay, and can be further upgraded into the Imperial and Grace sets.

|Go back to where you got the Paradise Set and pay Labraham 10 {{#item:25223}}. Initially gives decent MATK but leveling up makes it significantly better. It is surprisingly strong, dealing more damage than a +15 Crimson Rod and a +8 Fortified Rod. This humble Rod will serve you well, even beyond level 200 if much better rods are still out of reach. The glaring downsides - no slots and it can't be refined.

|{{Item List2|id=480125|item=Convertible Magical Wing|slots=1}}
|Garment
|[[Sunken Sands]]

|-
|{{Item List2|id=470094 |item=Hero Boots-LT|slots=1}}
|Footgear
|
|
|The current final form of the Ancient Hero Boots, this pair of shiny shoes gives quite a lot of bonuses, especially at high refines and better grades. It's an upgrade over the Automatic Leg B-type at high refines AND when paired with the {{Item List |id=550082|item=Freedom Stick-LT|slots=2}}. Try to aim for a +11 Grade C at least.
|-
|-
|{{#item:61127}}
|{{#item:470204}}
|Footgear
|
|
|One of, if not the best-in-slot footgear due to the huge FCT reduction and MATK bonuses. Climbing noises not included. It is highly recommended to give this thing a C-grade at the very least for the big 1-second Fixed Cast Time reduction.
|-
|-
|{{#item:61145}}

|-
|{{Item List2 |id=24616 |item=Super Magic Shadow Shield |simple=yes}}
|Shadow Gear
|[[Faceworm's Nest]]
|The centerpiece of the Super Magic Shadow Set and the next upgrade to the Super Novice Shadow Shield. Combining the {{Item List2 |id=24282 |item=Super Novice Shadow Gauntlet |simple=yes}} (with level 10 {{Skill Info|class=Soul Linker|id=9|skill=Increase SP Recovery}} of course) and this shield results in A LOT of MDEF pierce. 40% Racial MDEF pierce from this, 30% Normal MDEF pierce from the Gauntlet if {{Skill Info|class=Soul Linker|id=9|skill=Increase SP Recovery}} is level 10, and an extra 3% Normal MDEF pierce per refine rate of the Gauntlet. To get Boss MDEF pierce though, you need to enchant a {{Item List |id=28946 |item=Purified Knight's Shield |slots=1 |simple=yes}} with the "Ignore MDEF of Boss Monsters" enchant.
'''Unlike what the description says, it DOES NOT need the Super Magic Shadow Cape and Boots below to get the elemental damage bonuses, just the required refine level. Additionally, while the description in-game says that it ignores Physical Defense, it actually ignores Magic Defense. Finally, the MDEF pierce comes from this shield, the Super Novice Shadow Gauntlet and their refine levels, <u>EXCLUDING</u> the other two items below. Type @battlestats or @bs to confirm.'''

===Tips and Tricks===
{| class="mw-collapsible wikitable mw-collapsed" style="width:100%"
|-
! style="background-color:#FFFFCC; color:Black;  width: 100% " |Strategy (WIP)
|-
|The Mage Build Hyper Novice is quite a challenge to level up due to Super Novice magic spells dealing adorable damage unless there's heavy investment involved. However, upon becoming Hyper Novice, the damage increases exponentially, and that's when its true power starts showing. <!--- This strategy is focused more on a modestly built Hyper Novice with very little to no consumables used even in the thick of battle.
'''This is subject to change depending on the market:''' As of the time of this writing, my idea of a "modestly built" Hyper Novice has the full Illusion Morpheus Set with the hood and shawl both at +9, a Paradise Super Novice Wand, a +9 Grace Super Novice Robe, a +9 Grace Magic Boots and a Novice Shield. --->
<u>Super Novice:</u>
*Focus more on hit-and-run tactics by leveling up quick-cast skills like Fire Ball, Fire Wall and Soul Strike.
*Safety Wall will be your wall of safety in dangerous situations but it will cost a lot of skill points.
*DEX will be your primary stat, very closely followed by INT, so Variable Casting Time will be reduced.
*Due to the Super Novice having absolutely atrocious HP and SP pools until level 99, your primary survival stat is AGI, not VIT. All the VIT and DEF in the world won't do much if you have a mere 700 HP. It's better to completely evade attacks instead of taking a hit with such low HP.
*Be very judicious in your movements and casting. You'll find yourself running out of SP very quickly or dying in just a single CRIT attack from Orc Zombies if you're not careful!
*When in a party... I have writer's block!
<u>Ex. Super Novice</u>
When soloing, I get writer's block!
In a party setting, You'll be the secondary support, providing crowd control and extra buffs and heals. Quagmire, Storm Gust and Sightrasher will be your main crowd control skills. Once you see the tank and its lures approaching, cast Quagmire on the mobs to slow them down in order for the DPSes more easily dispose of them. Also watch out if the tank lured too many or if there are monsters coming from the side and rear - use Sightrasher to push them away or Storm Gust to freeze them in place. From time to time, you may also buff your teammates, provide additional heals with your cute Heals.
<u>Hyper Novice</u>
WORK IN PROGRESS!!! Break the Rule of Er and destroy all who bring you down. Don't let them go, let them gravitate to you. Devastate their mental health, freeze them to the core, shock them with baleful thunder and call forth the wrath of the skies until they're no more. until they're no more. Beat the already dead horse by summoning the wrath of the skies and command the earth to swallow it whole, driving them down to a place worse than the deepest depths of the darkest hell.

'''This section is undergoing renovations.'''
While there is a general '''Leveling Guide''' available, this section will explain leveling a Super Novice from scratch, as if you just joined MuhRO and Super Novice is the first, or one of the first characters created.
=== <u>Novice</u> ===
'''Lv1 - ??? - Work in progress'''
*Do the MuhRO starter quest
=== <u>Super Novice</u> '''WORK IN PROGRESS''' ===
[[File:Super Novice brat solos King Poring.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]
'''Lv45 - Lv85'''
*Once you reach base level 45, continue the MuhRO main tutorial quest. Invest points into AGI so your Flee will go up to around 300 or so. That way, once you reach the Poring Instance, it will be relatively easy to solo, King Poring MVP included.
'''Lv85 - Lv99'''
*Work in progress
=== <u>Expanded Super Novice</u> ===
'''Work in progress'''
=== <u>Hyper Novice</u> ===
'''200-215 '''
*[[Illusion of Labyrinth]] - Tons of mobs and fixed EXP means tons of EXP until around level 220. Also a decent place to earn some zeny along the way if you're looting everything.
*[[Illusion of Underwater]] 2 - Bring Coldproof potions. Beware the <s>Jellymon</s> Deep Sea Sedora and their unusually overpowered Storm Gust and Water Ball. It is highly recommended to do the Illusion Quests for this and Illusion of Labyrinth for equipment refinement boxes. Good until around level 220.
*[[Niflheim]] Dungeon 1 - Nif1 has TONS of mobs in a relatively small space, making it a great place to level up, earn zeny and grab Etel Dusts. Watch out for Stone Curse and SP Leech by <s>Rubik's</s> Ghost Cube.
*[[Rudus]] 4 - Not as crowded as Nif1 mob and player wise, making it a good alternate leveling spot if Nif1 and Thana12 are way too crowded. Watch out for Giant Caput's Spiral Pierce, which may instantly kill.
'''200-240 (Alternate leveling)'''
*[[Thanatos Tower]] 12 - In Thana12, Guyak Pudding and Blue Potions are recommended due to the neverending barrage of Level 11 Decrease AGI and SP Leech from the fat chibi Horror of Thanatos. In addition, have a Genetic provide Full Chemical Protection due to some of the mobs breaking armors and weapons. There are lots of EXP from the boss-protocol monsters and a decent amount of zeny earned per hour (around 10M maybe?) when autolooting everything. Fragment of Despair can be used to make Ace's Hat of Flames.
'''215-230'''
*[[Amicitia]] Dungeon 1 - Get ready to be knocked around a lot due to the mobs spamming Jupitel Thunder and Storm Gust like they're going out of style. Highly recommended to use Shining DEF scroll here to prevent getting Frozen by Vanilaqus, the blue amorphous blob homunculus.
'''230-240'''
*[[Amicitia]] Dungeon 2 - Full Chemical Protection is needed due to Lava Eater's tendency to break armors, but Safety Wall should help deal with that problem to a certain extent. Shining DEF scrolls are also recommended due to the horses frequently casting Storm Gust and causing Frozen.
'''230+ (Alternate leveling)'''
*Airship Crash - Except for the Mosquitoes, all mobs move very slowly and can be easily kited with ranged attacks. For melee builds, Safety Wall is advised when fighting Melted Poring due to Strip Shadow Gear. Shadow or Undead element armors are recommended when fighting Rotten Tree because of Dark Grand Cross.
'''240+'''
*[[Niflheim]] Dungeon 2 - Nif2 is a relatively mobby place but is manageable for the most part. It is one of, if not the fastest way to level up from 240 and above, especially with a 12-man party with Kim (Troubador with Mr. Kim's a Rich Man). For Physical Hyper Novices, watch out for the Loli's Lex Divina, which can cause Silence even with 100 INT. Also watch out for the occasional Brandish Spear, which may result in an instant kill.
