The Mayhemic way of the Biolo by Meep

From MuhRO
Jump to navigation Jump to search


Introduction

Hello, I am Meep, and I've been playing MuhRO for months now. I started as a Biolo and still am one. I'm not very good at anything math-related, so if you have any questions about math, I'm not the guy for that—lmao. I know biolo but im not an expert so please reach out to me if you think something is wrong with the guide, thanks (meep0_o)

I'm making this guide to help beginners navigate from the early game to the endgame. This guide will not cover all gear options, especially those I deem wasteful, as acquiring such gear wouldn’t significantly improve farming efficiency in the areas I'll be mentioning. This guide focuses on Biolo, starting with the Mayhemic Thorns build. I may add more builds in the future (or when Time Gap comes).

Big thanks to Sagii and Kosetsu for the help with the guide!

Why play Biolo?

Play what ever you think is fun. You may or may not like Biolo gameplay so I would list down some pros and cons

So why play Biolo?

  • As a Merchant class, Biolo grants us many quality-of-life skills like 36.png Enlarge Weight Limit.
  • Has free Guyak from Cart Boost and a massive weight capacity, making farming easier and more efficient.
  • Can create potions and food that provide stat buffs.
  • Generally easy to gear, and its equipment can be shared with other crit-build jobs.
  • It is a good farmer, even in the latest dungeons.
  • Has a homunculus that provides buffs and helps with tanking.
  • One of the best instances farmers.

So why not play Biolo?

  • The damage of Biolo cannot compete with other magic-class jobs or some physical-class jobs in the late game.
  • Some skills require a consumable to be used.
  • Not magic
  • Magic classes dominates the end game dungeons.

Skills

Relevant Skills

  • 6006.png Mayhemic Thorns: The skill that you would be using a lot. It is a 9x9 AoE range skill that the damage can be boosted by 5347.png Research Report and 5348.png Hell Tree. Every skill cast recovers 2 AP so make sure to use it (or else you wont do damage)!
  • 5347.png Research Report: Makes your 6006.png Mayhemic Thorns damage bigger. Buffs Acidified damage against formless and plants. Try to have this active at all times.
  • 5348.png Hell Tree: Buffs your range damage and against formless. I don't usually use this unless I'm killing MvPs or for High end dungeons.
  • 2480.png Blood Sucker: Gives you a chance to absorb the damage you dealt as HP. Basically like a 9055.png Succubus Egg (9055)
  • 2478.png Cart Boost: The best movement skill we got. This basically has the same speed as 12710.png Guyak Pudding (12710)
  • 243.png Call Homunculus: Calls out your Homunculus. It can take aggro from mobs whenever you TP for efficient farming. This consumes 7140.png Seed of Life (7140) and only last for 30 minutes unless it dies which in that case you can use 247.png Resurrect Homunculus to call it for free.

Situational Skills

  • 5339.png Full Shadow Protection: Protects shadow equipment of the target from being stripped or destroyed. Useful for certain instances
  • 5338.png The Whole Protection: Protects weapons and equipment of the caster and nearby party members from being stripped or destroyed. Only useful for party plays.
  • 479.png Full Chemical Protection: Protects your gears or party member's gears from being destroyed.
  • 5343.png Acidified Zone Fire or any Acidified Skills: For monsters that requires multi-hitting damage. Can also be used to regain fast AP.
  • 2483.png Crazy Weed: Can remove Spider Webs in Depth 2 and reveal hidden enemies.


Explaining 6006.png Mayhemic Thorns

First we must learn about 6006.png Mayhemic Thorns. It has a 0.7s Cooldown with 0.5s Fixed Cast time so it can be slow but with the help of gears and stats you can lower those numbers down. Just using 470020.png Grace Attack Boots [1] (470020) reduces your FCT by 0.5s. Utilize the free buffs that you can get in Eden Group such as 12883.png Almighty (12883) for faster casting.

5347.png Research Report buffs your Mayhemic Thorns significantly. Mayhemic damage drops a lot without it, so try to keep this active at all times. (It also increases our AoE!) If you die, spam Mayhemic Thorns to reactivate it. Prioritize getting this up first before Hell Tree if you happen to die.
Next is 5348.png Hell Tree, which summons a tree that provides a buff increasing Mayhemic Thorns' damage. However, it consumes 3x 1000281.png Greater Plant Bottle (1000281) , which can be expensive for beginners. I usually save this for harder content, like MVPs in instances.

Next is Critical (Cri), which determines your chance to deal critical damage. Having 100 Cri means you have a 100% chance to land critical hits. Critical is very important because Mayhemic Thorns can crit! Early on, you can stay at 100 Cri, but later, mobs gain Critical Shield, which reduces your chance to land critical hits by the amount of their Critical Shield. (Use @mobinfo or @mi to check a mob’s Critical Shield.) The formula is: Cri - Critical Shield = True Cri. For example, if you have 100 Cri and you're fighting a Grote (Nif2) with 32 Critical Shield, your true critical chance is 100 - 32 = 68. This means you need 132 Cri to maintain a 100% crit chance against that mob. You can use 12458.png Abrasive (12458) if you wish to temporarily increase your cri.

Stats and Traits

Stats

  • STR: This is multiplied with your Weapon ATK increasing your damage.
  • AGI: Increases your attack speed but we don't really need that much attack speed unless you're in a high density map.
  • VIT: Gives us defensives stats and having it at 92(?) would give us stun immunity
  • INT: Provides the second-highest reduction in Variable casting time. Useful for faster cast times.
  • DEX: Primary stats for range damages. Increases our hit chance and the highest reduction in Variable Casting Time.
  • LUK: This scales with C.rate and gives us CRIT for a higher chance to do critical damage. Increase this if you need more Crit so you can try and hit 100.

Traits

  • POW: Has the biggest boost towards our damage. Have this high.
  • STA: Provides Res.
  • WIS: Provides MRes.
  • CON: Provides P.Atk but the damage is underwhelming and you can get it from your gears (also provides flee).
  • CRT: Our main way of getting C.rate. I usually have this maxed.
Sample Stats Allocation
Stats Allocation Traits Allocation
STR 110 POW 110
AGI 3 STA 0
VIT 90 WIS 32
INT 100 CON 40
DEX 130 CRT 110
LUK 106

(Note that you can go 0 on STA and WIS and put all in CON)

Gear Progression

This is the beginning of your journey. Take it slow or fast. Just have fun and enjoy the journey! Also, you shouldn't rush to the late game, as your farming efficiency improves with the new gear you acquire, making it much easier to earn Zeny. For Leveling guide please see Spike's Leveling & Cart Cannon Guide to level up to 200. After getting to level 200, prioritize getting gears that you can get while also leveling your character to 250 to let you use any gears on this list.

Before we start, I highly recommend reading Madame Celery's Guide or Lily's Biolo Research Report to learn more about the gear progression as I would only be prioritizing gears that I believe would be good for Biolos with the current update. If you an alternative gears then I highly recommend checking Lily's guide.

Beginner

Gears

Not much to say here other than to use equipment from either Eden Group or Episode 17.1. You do not need to worry about getting cards here. Try to use this until you can get the gears in the next section.

Slot Gear Where to get
UpperHeadgear 400139.png Advanced Paradise Luxury Cap (400139) Eden
MidHeadgear 410094.png Sealed Chain [1] (410094) Nilfheim 2
LowerHeadgear 420076.png Bondage Necklace (420076) Nilfheim 2
Armor 450100.png Grace Cart Cannon Suit [1] (450100) Ep17.1
Weapon 590028.png Paradise Genetic Mace (590028) Eden
Shield -----
Garment 480018.png Grace Attack Manteau [1] (480018) Ep17.1
Shoes 470020.png Grace Attack Boots [1] (470020) Ep17.1

490126.png Advanced Paradise Ring (490126)
Ep17.1
Eden

Where to farm Zeny

These are some good farming spots that I know and have proven to be effective. A quick tip: use @storeall and @getall for storage, and always use a 12264.png [Bound] Bubble Gum (12264) . Bring 23177.png [Bound] Kafra Card (23177) , 12883.png Almighty (12883) , and 23203.png Small Mana Potion (23203) , which you can buy from the Eden vending machine for quality-of-life improvements.

Location Note
Gefenia A really good way for beginners to farm raw Zeny. Just make sure to bring 23177.png [Bound] Kafra Card (23177) and an empty storage for more efficient farming sessions.
Istana You farm 985.png Elunium (985) and 756.png Rough Oridecon (756) here which will overweight you so bring 23177.png [Bound] Kafra Card (23177) . You can turn 756.png Rough Oridecon (756) into 984.png Oridecon (984) at @go 50. Everything will be either vended or be used by you.

Early Game

Now that you have gained some zeny, you can now move to the early game gears. These gears are pretty good and would increase your damage.

Some of the Eden and Grace gears are still good such as the 470020.png Grace Attack Boots [1] (470020) as it gives 0.5 Fixed Cast Time that 6006.png Mayhemic Thorns needs. Replacing 470020.png Grace Attack Boots [1] (470020) with 470066.png Illusion Sprint Shoes [1] (470066) requires you to either get +11 for both 470066.png Illusion Sprint Shoes [1] (470066) and 450182.png Illusion Sprint Mail [1] (450182) to get the FCT or use 1000671.png Genetic Stone (Low) (1000671) with 2474.png Sword Training at level 5. For Shadow gears, just use the Advanced Paradise Shadow Gears that you get from Eden.

29084.png Acute Lv4 (29084) / 29689.png Temporal Jewel (LUK) Lv 3 (29689) / any
Can wait till Mid game for enchants but it is pretty cheap to enchant.


MidHeadgear 410094.png Sealed Chain [1] (410094)

Combo with 420076.png Bondage Necklace (420076)


LowerHeadgear 420076.png Bondage Necklace (420076)

2x 29004.png Rune of Dexterity Lv2 (29004) or 2x 4995.png Rune of Strength Lv2 (4995) or A mix of both

Use 29004.png Rune of Dexterity Lv2 (29004) for faster cast time (I prefer this) or 4995.png Rune of Strength Lv2 (4995) for more damage. You can mix them together if you cant find the perfect one.


Weapon +9 590038.png Glacier Mace (590038)
311448.png Glacier Flower Spell (Mayhemic Thorns) (311448) or 311352.png Glacier Flower Spell (Physical-Element) (311352) / 311350.png Glacier Flower Spell (Physical-Size) (311350) / 311348.png Glacier Flower Spell (Physical-Race) (311348) / 311344.png Glacier Flower Spell (CRI) (311344)

This is your biggest damage boost and quite cheap to get, just try checking vendors or shouting in #trade. Prioritize getting this at +9 and enchanted.


Shield +11 460018.png Illusion Silver Guard [1] (460018)
2x 29004.png Rune of Dexterity Lv2 (29004) or 2x 4995.png Rune of Strength Lv2 (4995) or A mix of both

Use 29004.png Rune of Dexterity Lv2 (29004) for faster cast time (I prefer this) or 4995.png Rune of Strength Lv2 (4995) for more damage. You can mix them together if you cant find the perfect one. This will serve you for a long time.

2x 29004.png Rune of Dexterity Lv2 (29004) or 2x 4995.png Rune of Strength Lv2 (4995) or A mix of both

Synergizes with 450182.png Illusion Sprint Mail [1] (450182) so do not use this unless you got both parts at +11 or you have 1000671.png Genetic Stone (Low) (1000671) . 29004.png Rune of Dexterity Lv2 (29004) for faster cast time (I prefer this) or 4995.png Rune of Strength Lv2 (4995) for more damage. You can mix them together if you cant find the perfect one.


Accessories 490044.png Sinful Ruby Ring [1] (490044)
490045.png Sinful Ruby Necklace [1] (490045)
310201.png Anger Lv5 (310201) /Any You honestly do not need to enchant these but if you can then try.


Good Farming Places

Dungeons that you should be able to gain zeny from with the current early game gears including the ones from beginner section. Always keep 25728.png Shadowdecon Ore (25728) , 25729.png Shadowdecon (25729) , 25730.png Zelunium Ore (25730) , 25731.png Zelunium (25731) , and 1000322.png Etel Dust (1000322) when farming as they can be sold or used for crafting.
Also see Increase item drop gears guide to increase your zeny farming rate. Poring Family Balloons, 19117.png Poring Sunglasses (19117) , and 22101.png Angel Poring Boots [1] (22101) is a good start.
Rudus 4 and Niflheim 1 now drops Equipments boxes. They can be opened, but I suggest opening some to vend and selling the rest.

Location Note
Rudus 4 Good raw zeny from 41076.png Rudus Equipment Box (41076) . Open them for 410092.png Cor Core Booster [1] (410092) , 420003.png CD in Mouth (420003) , 410017.png Battle Processor [1] (410017) , and 19241.png Magical Booster [1] (19241) for vending.
Thanatos F9 - F12 Auto-loot all and bring at F12 unless you can manage the slow de-buff from mobs (You can remove the slow de-buff with cart boost but you have to reapply the cart boost again which can be annoying).
Keep 7436.png Fragment of Agony (7436) , 7437.png Fragment of Misery (7437) , 7438.png Fragment of Hatred (7438) , and 7439.png Fragment of Despair (7439) for daily hunts for free 50001.png Forgotten Heirloom (50001) which can drop 6635.png Blacksmith's Blessing (6635) . The other fragments (ex: 1000245.png Fragment of Resentment (1000245) ) are also for 1000257.png Piece of Sin (1000257) and 1000263.png Fragment of Good Will (1000263) which can be sold to other players or used by you.
Niflheim 1 Raw zeny from 41080.png Niflheim Equipment Box (41080) . Open them for 410094.png Sealed Chain [1] (410094) and 420076.png Bondage Necklace (420076) to earn some Zeny through vending. They also drop 300240.png Gan Ceann Card (300240) , which can be vended as well.
Oz Dungeon 2 Drops 1000405.png Amethyst Fragment (1000405) which can be sold in vending. Good money to be honest but make sure to check the price!
Old Glast Heim Normal/Hard Can auto-loot all or just auto-loot 6608.png Coagulated Spell (6608) , 6755.png Contaminated Magic (6755) , 985.png Elunium (985) , and 6607.png Temporal Crystal (6607) for vending. 10 minutes per run after unlocking fast mode. Do not forget to talk to the NPCs after killing each boss as they give rewards and unlocks the secret room.
Gefenia Doping Best way to earn money if you can do it with the buffs that is listed by LuckNut's guide. Does not really need to change your gears but if you can't do it with buffs then try swapping some gears. You can also do this at Thanatos F8.
Thanatos F7 Doping Same zeny rate as Gefenia doping but you have to go back to town every time you clear the entire floor. You have to be solo in this floor or else the zeny rate would be worse than normal farming in gefenia.


Mid Game

This section will talk about gears that you can temporary use and also gears that you would use for end game. These can be expensive to buy or craft so buckle up! Some early game gears are still used but enchanted.
NOTE: I highly recommend checking the End game gears first before getting any of these stuff as you may be able to skip some of them.

Gears

Slot Gear Enchants Notes


UpperHeadgear +10~+11 19477.png Temporal Circlet (Genetic) [1] (19477)
29084.png Acute Lv4 (29084) / 29689.png Temporal Jewel (LUK) Lv 3 (29689) / any
You can honestly just go for Acute 4 and be done with it. No need to get perfect enchants.


MidHeadgear 410094.png Sealed Chain [1] (410094)

Combo with 420076.png Bondage Necklace (420076)


LowerHeadgear 420076.png Bondage Necklace (420076)

Combo with 410094.png Sealed Chain [1] (410094)

310685.png Star Cluster of Creative Lv.3 (310685) / 310732.png Nebula of Expert Archer Lv.3 (310732) or 310735.png Nebula of Sharp Lv.3 (310735) / 4723.png DEX+4 (4723)

You can stay with the last armor but if you want an upgrade then this is it since this will be your end game armor. Use 310732.png Nebula of Expert Archer Lv.3 (310732) for more damage or use 310735.png Nebula of Sharp Lv.3 (310735) if you want to share this armor to other crit jobs


Weapon +12A 500093.png Dimensions Biological Sword [2] (500093)

+12A 590047.png Dim Glacier Mace [1] (590047)


No need to enchant this yet



311453.png Glacier Flower Spell (Physical Grade) Lv5 (311453) /311448.png Glacier Flower Spell (Mayhemic Thorns) (311448) /311448.png Glacier Flower Spell (Mayhemic Thorns) (311448)
Another big damage boost and is your end game weapon. Use 102668.png Dimensions Weapon Refinement Device (102668) to refine it from +9~+10 to +11. DO NOT USE BLACKSMITH'S BLESSING



ONLY BUY DIM GLACIER IF YOU CAN FIND A CHEAP ONE. If it's 100M-120M, then it's worth buying.


Shield +9C 460040.png Glacier Guard [1] (460040)
312095.png Glacier Flower Meow Power (Intelligence) (312095) / 312092.png Glacier Flower Meow Power (Physical Resistance) (312092) or 312093.png Glacier Flower Meow Power (Magical Resistance) (312093) / 312091.png Glacier Flower Meow Power (Attack) (312091)

You can stay with the last shield but if you want an upgrade then this is it. It is very cheap to make and can be your end game shield.


Garment +9~+11C 480174.png Pirate Captain's Coat [1] (480174)
Can be crafted in Equipment Crafting. This is quite cheap to make and can serve you for a long time until you get your HoL garment.


Shoes +9C 470111.png Varmundt Ice Rune Boots [1] (470111)
310920.png Power of Varmundt Lv1 (310920) / 4721.png DEX+2 (4721)

Also not needed yet but if you want an upgrade then this is your best option. This will be your end game shoes


Accessories 490044.png Sinful Ruby Ring [1] (490044)
490045.png Sinful Ruby Necklace [1] (490045)
310201.png Anger Lv5 (310201) /Any Can still stay with these accessories


Shadow Gears

Shadow Gear Note


+9 24663.png Full Penetration Shadow Armor (24663) and +9 24664.png Full Penetration Shadow Shoes (24664)

PRIORITIZE GETTING THIS. It will let you ignore 100% of monster's defence making it easy to farm in harder dungeons such as Niflheim 2.

+9 24661.png Full Penetration Shadow Earring (24661) and +9 24662.png Full Penetration Shadow Pendant (24662)



+10 24386.png Infinity Shadow Weapon (24386) OR +10 24733.png Infinity Shadow Shield (24733)

Use this if you're using 500093.png Dimensions Biological Sword [2] (500093) already. It nullifies weapon damage penalty resulting from monster's size.


+9 24761.png Creative Shadow Weapon (24761) and +9 24762.png Creative Shadow Shield (24762)

Cheap shadow gears but good.


+10 24339.png Almighty Shadow Earring (24339) and +10 24340.png Almighty Shadow Pendant (24340)

This gives +20 stats which is pretty nice. I prefer getting this to reach instant cast and for extra Cri. It deals less damage than Max Mammoth.


+10 24681.png Maximum Mammoth Shadow Earring (24681) and +10 24679.png Maximum Mammoth Shadow Armor (24679)

Really nice damage boost but not a priority at this stage.


+10 24680.png Maximum Mammoth Shadow Shoes (24680) and +10 24682.png Maximum Mammoth Shadow Pendant (24682)


+10 24767.png Mega Blitz Shadow Shield (24767)

Good C.rate

Mid Game Farming

As always keep 25728.png Shadowdecon Ore (25728) , 25729.png Shadowdecon (25729) , 25730.png Zelunium Ore (25730) , 25731.png Zelunium (25731) , and 1000322.png Etel Dust (1000322) for vending or your own use. Having +12A 500093.png Dimensions Biological Sword [2] (500093) and a Full set of +9 24663.png Full Penetration Shadow Armor (24663) shadow gear is enough to farm here. Everything will overweight you here so bring a 12211.png Kafra Card (12211) or 23648.png Kafra Storage Bell (23648) (Cash Shop).
Just like in early-game farming, Nilfheim and Amicitia now drop equipment boxes. Open them to vend some of the items and sell the rest.

Good Farming Places
Location Note
Amicitia 2 Auto-loot all then sell 41078.png Amicitia Equipment Box (41078) for raw zeny. Open them for 420030.png Feather In Mouth (420030) , and 400002.png Victory Wing Ears [1] (400002) for vending.
Niflheim 2 Auto-loot all then sell 41080.png Niflheim Equipment Box (41080) for raw zeny. Drops 410094.png Sealed Chain [1] (410094) , 420076.png Bondage Necklace (420076) , and 12103.png Bloody Branch (12103) for vending.
Clock Tower Unknown Basement Auto-loot all for raw zeny. 1001073.png Ectoplasmic Stone (1001073) , 984.png Oridecon (984) , 616.png Old Card Album (616) , and 985.png Elunium (985) for vending or own use. Take the quest for some good exp!
Mjolnir Underground Cave Auto-loot all. 12103.png Bloody Branch (12103) , 300447.png Aferde Card (300447) , and 300449.png Timbers Card (300449) for vending.

End Game

Now, onto the late game. This gear is the most expensive you'll ever need, but it essentially completes your Biolo. If you made a Biolo just for farming, you don’t need to create the gear listed. However, if you want to farm in areas like Biosphere 2 (Temple) or Forgotten Zone, you’ll need this gear to farm efficiently. Take it slow when progressing to the endgame.
NOTE: If you do not want to create Hall of Life gears with nebula armors then please check Lily's Biolo Research Report for the Biosphere gears as you can use them for end game dungeons.

Best weapon and combos with 400532.png Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Biolo) [1] (400532) to reduce Mayhemic Thorns cooldown


Shield

+11C 460040.png Glacier Guard [1] (460040)



312095.png Glacier Flower Meow Power (Intelligence) (312095)

Use 460040.png Glacier Guard [1] (460040) for cheaper and more defensive option. Use 460020.png Mad Bunny-LT [1] (460020) for more offensive option and extra Cri. In my opinion, Mad Bunny is not really worth the price, as the damage difference between both shields is minimal but if you can get one for cheap price then it is good.


312092.png Glacier Flower Meow Power (Physical Resistance) (312092) or 312093.png Glacier Flower Meow Power (Magical Resistance) (312093)



312091.png Glacier Flower Meow Power (Attack) (312091)

313023.png Life of Winter (Creative) (313023)

Accessories

Best Accessories we can get so far. Try and get 480352.png Circulation of Life Winter [1] (480352) at +11~+12 first before using 490486.png Signet of Circulation Winter [1] (490486) .

Shadow Gears

Prioritize C.rate enchants with either Range Damage or Crit

Shadow Gear Note


+10 24663.png Full Penetration Shadow Armor (24663) and +10 24664.png Full Penetration Shadow Shoes (24664)

It will let you ignore 100% of monster's defence.


+10 24661.png Full Penetration Shadow Earring (24661) and +10 24662.png Full Penetration Shadow Pendant (24662)



+10 24386.png Infinity Shadow Weapon (24386) OR +10 24733.png Infinity Shadow Shield (24733)

It nullifies weapon damage penalty resulting from monster's size. Get this unless you have 9193.png Mistress Egg (9193)


+10 24425.png Perfect Size Shadow Weapon (24425)

In case you already have 9193.png Mistress Egg (9193) .


+10 24339.png Almighty Shadow Earring (24339) and +10 24340.png Almighty Shadow Pendant (24340)

+20 stats is good. Deals less damage than Maximum Mammoth


+10 24681.png Maximum Mammoth Shadow Earring (24681) and +10 24679.png Maximum Mammoth Shadow Armor (24679)

Best one to get and gets better if you can get any Bio 5 MvP Card to reach insta-cast easily with good damage.


+10 24680.png Maximum Mammoth Shadow Shoes (24680) and +10 24682.png Maximum Mammoth Shadow Pendant (24682)


+10 24767.png Mega Blitz Shadow Shield (24767)

Good C.rate

Late Game Farming

You can honestly just farm anywhere but I recommend one dungeon.
Location Note
[Biosphere Temple] Mobs drop a lot of 25729.png Shadowdecon (25729) and 25731.png Zelunium (25731) so this is probably the best way to earn zeny.

Reaching Insta-Cast (WIP)

Our only way of reaching insta-cast is by stats alone so I'll be showing ways to reach that 530 stats thresh-hold. First of all Variable Casting Time reduction can be calculated with ((int+(dex*2))/530)*100. An example is having 90 int with 130 dex, 90+(130*2)= 350 then divide it by 530 giving us 0.66 multiplied by 100 is equals to 66%. This means with just those stats alone we can reduce our Variable Casting time by 66% and we want to reach 100% for insta-cast! Please visit Choi's Guide To Magic to learn more about Variable casting, Fixed cast time and attack speed!

The Cheap way
This is the cheapest way of reaching insta-cast but with these gears, you could farm Mid-game farming spots albeit you have Full Penetration shadow gear and +12A Weapon. Note that we will be using consumables for this but it will be very cheap.

Tips and Tricks

Some stuff that I've learned while playing Biolo (If you got more then don't hesitate to ask me)

Questions

If you have any question or thinks that something is not suppose to be there then please DM me on discord (@meep0_o).

  • Do you recommend Biolo?

As a field farmer for beginners, yes—but mages just dominate endgame farming man.

  • Why does it look similar to Lily's guide?

I started my Biolo journey with her guide, so huge shoutout to her! However, it has been a while since it was last updated. I used most of the gear she recommended from early to mid-game, including the Dim Glacier Mace, Gray Wolf gear, Snow Flower gear, and Critical costume stones. They are good, but honestly, not necessary for progression.

  • Why make the guide?

So people would not do the same mistake that I did and maybe help those Biolos on discord hehe (i also want the cute costume and got inspired by choi). Big sorry if I made any mistake :> This is my first time making guides in any games I've played

  • Why not go dim glacier?

Sadly it has been power-crept by Dimensional weapons. I've tested it and +12A Dim glacier fully enchanted does do more damage against +12A Dimensional but the difference is barely noticeable and getting your Grade A tdrc makes dim glacier less powerful.

Future Plans

  1. How to reach insta-cast
  2. Make the tables look better fr
  3. Acid Build (Needs to finish my HoL gears first)
  4. Depth 2 Farming
  5. Test Lord Bearer for Farming (If someone lets me borrow their accessory lord bearer set for a week then maybe i can test it soon :>)
