Choi's Prerenewbie Guide to Renewal: Difference between revisions

New to renewal and feeling overwhelmed? Same, tbh, but here's some information that I thought was helpful starting out.  

A lot of this information uses [[Madame Celery's Guide to MuhRO]] which is a very helpful resource.  

* [[Choi's_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Preface|1]], [[Choi's_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Starting_out_and_Leveling|2]], and [[Choi's_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#MuhRo_Resources|10]]

* [[Choi's_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Traits_and_Damage_Classes|3]], [[Choi's_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Gear_Progression_OR_How_I_Think_About_Gear|4]], and [[Choi's_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Episode_Quests|5]]

* [[Choi's_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Refining_Gear|6]]

* [[Choi's_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Enchantments|7]]

* [[Choi's_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Shadow_Gears|8]]  

* [[Choi's_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Grade_Enhancing|9]]

* As a note, there's no rush to get to Level 260. I would say that the main threshold for leveling should be 240. At that point, you can use most gear and access most instances/dungeons. I recommend at that point that you just carry on farming, and you will get to 260 before you even realize it!

| [[Varmundt's Biosphere|Varmundt Biosphere]] || 230 || S || S || An excellent farming spot. Some of the [[Varmundt's_Biosphere#Varmundt_Equipment_Reform|Rune Gear and Rings]] are end-game gear.  

| [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth]] || 230 || S+ || S+ || The most difficult dungeon. The [[Varmundt's_Biosphere_Depth#Engraved_Armors|Engraved Armor]] are currently the strongest armor in the game.  

Skill Damage is separated into Physical Melee, Physical Ranged, and Magical. You will see a lot of gear and equipment are separated in this way (e.g. {{#item:27384}}, {{#item:300270}}, {{#item:450169}}). You can see your skill's damage type under "Type" in your skill description. However, I would break it out into five types:  

* Magical

* Ranged Physical

* Ranged Physical Crit

* Melee Physical

* Melee Physical Crit

Similar to {{#skill:382}}, many physical skills in Renewal are able to critically strike. As such, I would organize the damage types in this way, as the gear required for these damage types will be fairly similar across classes.

[[Madame_Celery's_Guide_to_MuhRO#Gear_Progression|Celery's Guide has a very helpful Gear Progression Table]]. I have copied it here with some updates. In this table, when you click on the links to the specific gears, it will give you information on the applicable equipment and its related instances, quests, and mobs. I also recommend checking out the various other [[User Guides]], as they may go into better detail about gear and gear progression.  

At level 100, you can talk with [[Beginners_Guide#Eden_Gear|Labraham and Louis]] to get Advanced Paradise Gear. These gear will require {{#item:7318}}, {{#item:1034}}, and {{#item:7200}}. Once you get these, you will be at Stage 1 in her Gear Progression Table.

When deciding which gear to farm, I look through the different equipment options starting from Stage 2 and upwards and compare them to my Eden Paradise gear to consider the effort required to get there. The Eden Paradise gear starting out is already pretty good overall. So for example, when looking at Armor, I reviewed the Grace Armor, Automatic Armor, and Celine's Dress, and decided that it wasn't an improvement enough to replace my Eden Paradise Armor. Instead, I skipped to the Stage 4 armor Gray Wolf Armor.  

17.2, 18, and 19 require the prior episode quests to be completed.

Clear Tickets can also be bought for Cash points. Episodes 15, 16, and 17.1 don't have any requirements. 17.2, 18, and 19 require at least 1 character among your master account to have completed this quest.
