* Work on getting yourself a {{#item:480125}}. I won't go into too much detail about how to craft it, because there's already a very good explanation for it in [[Choi's Soul Ascetic Guide]] section Phase Three. Make it +11 at least, but also consider making it +12 so you can use {{#item:300375}}.

* Put a {{#item:27385}} in your shield. It should be cheap, just buy it. You can't use the combo yet because your weapon doesn't have a slot, but we'll get there eventually.


* All your gear slots should have something decent in them by now, so to get stronger we'll switch focus to the costume tab. Soul Ascetic has the advantage of having good Shadow Gear for cheap to start with, since you can get {{#item:24655}}, {{#item:24415}} and {{#item:24315}} to ignore MDEF of Normal class enemies (eveything that's not a Boss). You'll need the following:

From this point onwards, you're strong enough to do [[19 Isgard Land of Snow Flowers|Episode 19]] easily, so alternate doing that with farming some money in Old Thanatos tower if you need Eden Coins, or in new Thanatos F12 if just want zeny. You're strong enough for F12 of new Thanatos now, although remember to use {{#item:12710}} or you'll be slowed down all the time. You might also want to use {{#item:23177}} to farm there, since you'll get overweight pretty quickly and you don't want to be going back every few minutes.

The other very useful thing to do with your time at this point is checking out [[Solfernia's guide to multi-client farming]]. Not everyone is into using several clients at the same time, but if you don't mind doing it I really recommend it. You'll farm Eden Coins many times faster, to the point where you'll have way more than you need. You'll also get a ton of {{#item:50001}}, which will give you {{#item:50000}} and also low chance for {{#item:6635}}.
The other place I find profitable at this point is Oz Dungeon 2. Now that you don't need more {{#item:1000405}}, you can sell them for decent profit, and keep the {{#item:25729}} and {{#item:25731}} for yourself. You can use the #trade channel to sell the fragments, or set up a separate account with an @autotrade merchant.
Illusion Underwater 2 should be a piece of cake at this point and still net you decent profit by selling certificates and raw loot to NPC. Remember to always sell with a merchant for that extra margin from Overcharge.

=== Endgame ===
== Things I wish I knew from the start ==
When I started playing on MuhRO, I was amazed at how good the wiki is! All of the things I will explain in this section are already in the wiki, but I'll explain them in the way I would have liked to have them explained to me when I started.
=== How to make Safe to +X certificates ===
Certificates are a great comodity to farm at the early and mid stages of the game, and you always need a few of them now and then to upgrade something. I'll only explain the illusion dungeon method of how to get them. If you want to know other methods, check out [[https://wiki.muhro.eu/Armor_Weapon_Tickets|How to make weapon and armor tickets]] or [[Madame Celery's Guide to MuhRO]].
I'll explain this method with an example. Let's say I want to make a {{#item:6994}}. The steps I'd follow are:
# Go farm your favourite Illusion Dungeon. If I need nothing else, I'll definitely choose Illusion Underwater 2 for this purpose, because of the mob density and potential spawn of Abysmal Witch.
# Collect as many refinement cubes as you want. On average, you'll need 12 cubes for 1 {{#item:6994}}. In the case of Illusion Underwater, the cube in question is {{#item:100425}}.
# Also collect at least 3 pieces of Illusion Armor from the same Illusion dungeon you're farming. In this case, let's say I get 1 {{#item:450146}} and 2 {{#item:450144}}.
# Once I have everything I need from the dungeon, I'll @go 50 and upgrade the armors or weapons I'll be working with to +4 first, because the box requires them to be +4 before randomly upgrading them (always read item descriptions!).
# Now I'll upgrade my {{#item:450146}} and {{#item:450144}} by using the {{#item:100425}}. Let's say I end up with a +10 and 2 +7. That's great! What I'm looking for is exactly +10 items, since that's what is needed to make {{#item:6232}}. But weren't we looking for {{#item:6994}}? Yes, we'll get there in the next step.
# Let's pretend I had 10 cubes and I managed to roll 3 +10 pieces of Illusion gear. This would be fairly lucky, but not that uncommon. Now I'd head over to {{#navi:paramk|55|96}} and talk to Red Hugo. Selecting the Exchange Hammer option, he'll show me a bunch of Refine Hammer options. In this case, I'll be buying 3 {{#item:50006}}. The reason is, I have 3 +10 Lv1 Armors that I want to break, so I need to use {{#item:50006}}.
# Once I've used the hammers, I'll have 3 {{#item:6232}}. I can talk to Red Hugo again, this time picking the Refine Tickets option. Here, I'll be able to exchange 3 {{#item:6232}} for 1 {{#item:6994}}.
That's the gist of it. Now notice that you can also make {{#item:6232}} by combining only 2 {{#item:6233}}, so you might want to keep +9 pieces of gear when you get them from the cubes. The drawback to this is that each hammer costs 1m zeny, so using 6 hammers instead of 3 eats your profits a bit. From here, figure out for yourself if it's worth keeping +9 pieces or rolling them again to try and hit +10.
=== How to make advanced Shadow Gear ===
This can also be confusing the first time, so I'll do my best to provide an alternative explanation. I'm fond of doing things with examples, as you might have noticed, so let's get into it again. Let's pretend I want to make a {{#item:24661}}:
# Go to {{#navi:main_office|90|170}} and check where the base set for your advanced set is. In the case of Full Penetration, the base set is called Penetration, so it's available at Gina.
# Right click the Thump Box for your gear and check what it requires. In this case it's {{#item:100572}} and the description tells you that you need 10 items with refine of at least +7, and then lists a bunch of items. If you see, the items listed in the Thump Box are the same items that you can find in the same shop where the Thump Box is.
# Buy the {{#item:100572}} for 30m zeny plus as many items as it tells you. If you haven't noticed, this is quite an expensive endeavor. Note: you can buy repeated items from the same category if you want, the box accepts duplicates.
# Upgrade all the items to +7. There's several ways to do this. You can just use {{#item:23926}} to make it directly +9 with no RNG involved. You can find {{#item:23926}} at Rayja. You can buy {{#item:23436}} at Rayja's Enchant with zeny option and try your luck. You can also upgrade your items normally with {{#item:985}} until +4 and then use {{#item:6241}} until +7. From these 3 options, I usually do the {{#item:23926}} because I feel like there's already plenty of RNG in other places of the game. This and using {{#item:6241}} is usually close to the same price, especially with how expensive HD ores have become at the time of writing this, but feel free to check for yourself. {{#item:23436}} tends to be the worst option, but you can also get very lucky.
# Once all items are +7 and in your inventory, use the {{#item:100572}} and double click the items until it's full and it allows you to click the Accept button.
# Ta-da! You have yourself a shiny piece of random Advanced Shadow Gear of the type the box was for. In this case, it could be any of the Full Penetration items.
# If you didn't get the item you wanted, you can roll it for relatively cheaply using {{#item:1000854}} (also found at Rayja's Special Shop). Talk to Rayja and use the Switch Shadow Gear option to do this.
