Hi, I'm Satsujinhan and I've been playing melee chaser ever since I first started out in renewal servers. I've received questions in game regarding my build, gears and so forth, and now I'm finally making this guide for everyone. This whole guide is based on what I've done and tested so far, so there are still some spots I will fill in once I get there in game. If you spot any mistakes, have additional questions etc, you can find me on the server's Discord as Karuna or you can ROdex me in game on my abyss chaser Satsujinhan.

* '''Dim Glacier weapons'''
* '''Dim Glacier weapons'''
** Issgard also is the source of a first proper weapon for your brand new abyss chaser. You can opt to get a normal Glacier weapon at first, which are cheaper, easier and faster to enchant compared to their Dim counterparts. Later on, I highly recommend getting a Dim Glacier Rogue Knife [1], so you can boost your Deft Stab damage. You can start farming for the enchanting materials in Snake’s Nest (you can unlock a direct warp here on the warper by unlocking all the daily quests in Issgard region). I farmed the materials required myself, and this allowed me to save zeny from selling all the extra loot dropped by the mobs. Once you’re confident enough you can deal with Abandoned Pit floor 1, you can move your farming there instead. [https://wiki.muhro.eu/Glacier_And_Dim_Glacier_Weapons_For_Dummies Here] is a very useful info page about farming, enchanting and refining your Dim weapon.

* '''Glacier armors'''
** Episode 20 is brand new here and while I haven't yet gotten to getting any of these new gears, I've looked through [https://wiki.muhro.eu/20_The_Immortal#Glacier_Armors the info] about them. They can be considered a bit better option next to Snow Flower gears, or equal at the very least. Looking at how their enchant process works, they lean more towards enhancing  your overall damage source (ATK, mATK etc). Regarding their enchants, they seem to be a bit easier in terms of getting what you want (no NPC to turn into items to just to get an RNG item that's a double/useless). The nice bonus part about these gears is the grading though. It's a good stepping stone for armor grading - just two grades, so you don't get overwhelmed with having to go from D to A with all armor parts at once.
* '''Varmundt gears'''
* '''Varmundt gears'''
** These gears are your next big thing to work on. Reforming them and enchanting them is a time consuming task, but the finished products are well worth it. The gear set you benefit the most on your melee build is the Fire Rune set. Unlike the previous Snow Flower gears which enhanced your Deft Stab damage with their enchants, these gears boost your traits and melee physical damage. Fully enchanted, refined and graded, you will do more damage with these gears rather then the Snow Flower ones, as they only boosted your singular skill damage. Detailed information about reforming, grading and enchanting can be found [https://wiki.muhro.eu/Varmundt_Rune_Stone_Equipment here]. Varmundt gears also introduce new accessories for you as well, namely the Venom rings. The base item in crafting them drops from Temple / Soul / Venom biosphere dungeon only. Their [https://wiki.muhro.eu/Soul_Temple_Venom_Ring_Enchant enchanting process] after reforming is the most time consuming one, unless you roll around in zeny and can afford to just buy all the [[File:1001189.png|frameless]] Varmundt Venom Waters needed.

** Once you’re all set with your Fire Rune gears, you can start looking into getting yourself your [https://wiki.muhro.eu/Varmundt%27s_Biosphere_Depth Depth 1 armor]. Early on, Depth 1 can seem daunting due to mobs having high HP and damage reduction buffs, which means finding a party to do a 30 minute run is a good idea. You will need to rake up reputation here as well, in order to to craft your armor, engrave it and enchant it. Be aware that engraving makes your armor master account bound, and you need 3 500 reputation to be able to revert the engraving to make it tradeable again. Engraving the armor gives it better stats.

* '''Depth 2''' '''Dimensional gear set'''  
** The Dimensional gear set from [https://wiki.muhro.eu/Varmundt%27s_Biosphere_Depth_2 Depth 2] is quite new on our server and seems very potent for Deft Stab builds. This is currently what I’m working towards getting and will update this guide as soon as I get my hands on these items.
** The Dimensional gear set from [https://wiki.muhro.eu/Varmundt%27s_Biosphere_Depth_2 Depth 2] is quite new on our server and seems very potent for Deft Stab builds. I've finally managed to get the set of hat and weapon, and this I can say so far. With A graded +12 Dimensional Abyss Knife and a non-graded, not enchanted (yet) +10 Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Abyss Chaser) the damage I deal with Deft Stab is more or less the same as what I did with my +12 Dim weapon with full enchants and a grade A +10 Crown of Beelzebub. However, you need the whole set before there's any point in using it. One isn't enough without the other. I do understand though that the hat enchanting and grading will bring out the full potential of this set, so it for sure is a must get at a very late point in game.
