Melee Hyper Novice Guide by Jetago

Jetago:

== Introduction ==
Hi~ I'm Jetago, a Hyper Novice Main~

And I decided to write this guide to provide a couple of tips based on my experience for anyone interested in following the path of the '''Physical Hyper Novice''' *-*

'''Double Bowling Bash''' and '''Mega Sonic Blow''' builds.

Hopefully it'll be helpful.

== Gear Progression - {{#skill:5451}} ==
'''Skill Notes:'''

Cast Delay: 1s | Cooldown: 0.7s | FCT: 0.35s

We're going to need a 30% After Cast Delay reduction to hit the fastest spam rate of Double Bowling Bash, the Attack Speed requirement for it is very low because of the long cooldown.

We're going to need a 30% After Cast Delay reduction and a 183 Attack Speed to hit the fastest spam rate of Mega Sonic Blow

Additionally our Critical Rate, around 150 to 170 can cover general dungeon/instance farming, newer content like Varmundt's Depths and Garden of Time requires from 190 up to 210

This is a '''reference''' of a leveling path that I tried myself with a brand new Novice using only the '''free equipment''' provided by the '''Eden Group'''.

With this strategy I managed to get my Novice from 0 to 200 in about 2 hours.

<big>'''Lv 1~10 - Starter Quest'''</big>

Follow the MuhRO starter quest through Prontera field and the '''Main Office''' until you reach the '''Eden Group''' and get your '''Starting Gear''' from '''Lothaire''' and '''Shadow Gear''' from '''Lucy'''.

* {{#item:590025}}
* {{#item:400137}}
* {{#item:450183}}
* {{#item:480103}}
* {{#item:470067}}
* {{#item:490122}}
* {{#item:490123}}
* {{#item:24687}}
* {{#item:24688}}
* {{#item:24689}}
* {{#item:24690}}
* {{#item:24691}}
* {{#item:24692}}

<big>'''Lv 10~45 - Anthell'''</big>

Once geared, pause the starter quest for a while and use the Warper to '''Anthell Dungeon''' and kill some Ant Egg, Andre, Deniro and Piere until you reach the '''Base level 45''' required to change jobs, make sure to use your {{#item:7803}}before you reach level 40.

* '''Super Novice Priority Skills'''
** {{#skill:5}} - Main attack skill
** {{#skill:34}} - Stat Booster, increases Str/Dex/Int
** {{#skill:29}} - Stat Booster, increases Agi/Aspd
** {{#skill:45}} - Stat Booster, increases Agi/Dex
** {{#skill:28}} - Self support, HP recovery
** {{#skill:2}} - Increases the damage dealt with Swords and Daggers
** {{#skill:26}} - Mobility

<big>'''Lv 45~90 - Poring Village'''</big>

Once reached level 45 return to the '''Main Office''', change job to '''Super Novice''', head back to '''Eden''' and get a {{#item:500035}}from '''Labraham''', then continue with the starter quest, talk to '''Lunos''' to be taken to the [[Poring Village|Poring Village Instance]] and complete it.

<big>'''Lv 90~99 - Stapo Hunt'''</big>

Get the Stapo hunt quest from the Lv 90 Eden Board, repeat this quest until reaching the level required for the next job change, '''Stapos''' are located one map south of '''Veins Town'''.

* '''Lv 99 Stat distribution example'''

{| class="wikitable"
|'''Str''': 90
|'''Agi''': 90
|'''Vit''': 10
|'''Int''': 1
|'''Dex''': 50
|'''Luk''': 1
|}
Once you reach 99/99 return to the '''Main Office''' and change jobs to '''Expanded Super Novice'''.

At this point you must get the '''Advanced Paradise Equipment Set''' from '''Louis''' and '''Labraham''' in '''Eden'''.

* {{#item:510039}}
* {{#item:400139}}
* {{#item:450185}}
* {{#item:480105}}
* {{#item:470069}}
* {{#item:490126}}
* {{#item:490127}}

You will need the following materials.

* 15x {{#item:7318}}- Obtained from '''Pitmen''' in '''Einbech Dungeon'''.
* 15x {{#item:7200}}- Obtained from '''Wootan Shooters''', located two maps south of '''Umbala Town'''.
* 3x {{#item:1034}}- Obtained from '''Kobolds''', located two maps north of '''Lighthalzen Town'''.

* '''Expanded Super Novice Priority Skills'''
** {{#skill:214}} - Main attack skill
** {{#skill:5075}} - Atk HP and SP increase
** {{#skill:5077}} - HP and SP increase
** {{#skill:5076}} - HP and SP recovery
'''Note:''' Use {{#item:656}}, the higher your Aspd, the faster you can spam {{#skill:214}}

<big>'''Lv 100~110 - More Stapos'''</big>

More Stapos? Yes, mainly to get some job levels for new Skills.

<big>'''Lv 110~150 - Illusion of Moonlight'''</big>

'''Illusion Dungeon''' hunt quests give a great amount of Experience, and this one is pretty easy, get the quest from the Main Office Board or the Npc at the entrance to the dungeon.

* '''Lv 130 Stat distribution example'''

{| class="wikitable"
|'''Str''': 110
|'''Agi''': 110
|'''Vit''': 40
|'''Int''': 20
|'''Dex''': 50
|'''Luk''': 1
|}
<big>'''Lv 150~160 - Lasagna Dungeon 2'''</big>

Get the «Kill 60 Monsters in lasa_dun02» quest from the Lv130 Eden Board, this quest will be used not only for levels but also to get some {{#item:25223}}that we will use to buy new '''Shadow Gear''' and '''Consumables'''.

Use {{#skill:138}} to increase your damage dealt to Combat Basilisks, they will also drop {{#item:607}}, use them to fully restore your HP and SP if necessary.

With the {{#item:25223}}obtained from the Lasagna dungeon quest.

Rent the '''Advanced Shadow Gear Set''' from '''Lucy''' for 20x {{#item:25223}}

* {{#item:24715}}
* {{#item:24693}}
* {{#item:24694}}
* {{#item:24695}}
* {{#item:24696}}
* {{#item:24697}}

And buy '''Consumables''' from the '''Eden Vending Machine'''

* {{#item:14534}}
* {{#item:12459}}
* {{#item:12832}}
* {{#item:23203}}
* {{#item:23204}}

These will be really helpful for the next steps by greatly increasing your defenses and HP/SP regeneration.

<big>'''Lv 160~170 - Illusion of Vampire'''</big>

Get some {{#item:523}}and {{#skill:68}} in your repertoire of skills, this will be of great help since almost all the monsters in this dungeon have '''Shadow''' and '''Undead''' elements.

be careful when hitting the '''Black Mushrooms''', they can cast '''Self Destruction''' which will surely insta-kill you if you are near, {{#skill:51}} can save you from the explosion.

* '''Lv 170 Stat distribution example'''

{| class="wikitable"
|'''Str''': 120
|'''Agi''': 110
|'''Vit''': 100
|'''Int''': 40
|'''Dex''': 80
|'''Luk''': 1
|}
<big>'''Lv 170~180 - Recon Robot Hunt'''</big>

Get the Recon Robot hunt quest from the Lv160 Eden Board, '''Recon Robots''' are located one map through the tunnel southeast of '''Verus Town'''.

<big>'''Lv 180~200 - Thanatos Fragments + Recon Robot'''</big>

At Lv180 you can use the '''Thanatos Fragments hunt quests''' from the '''Main Office''' '''board''', try buying the following items from the market (@ws ItemID).

(Or get them with an alt character?)

* 10x {{#item:7436}}
* 10x {{#item:7437}}
* 10x {{#item:7438}}
* 10x {{#item:7439}}

And turn them in at the '''Main Office board''', these quests reward you with a great amount of Experience but can only taken '''once a day'''.

a single turn in of all four type of fragments can bring you from Lv180 to Lv190.

Then keep repeating the Recon Robot hunt quest until you finally reach Lv200.

* '''Lv 200 Stat distribution example'''

{| class="wikitable"
|'''Str''': 120
|'''Agi''': 110
|'''Vit''': 110
|'''Int''': 80
|'''Dex''': 80
|'''Luk''': 89

== Gear Progression - {{#skill:5451}} ==
'''Skill Notes:'''

Cast Delay: 1.0s | Cooldown: 0.7s

We're going to need a 30% After Cast Delay reduction to hit the fastest spam rate of Double Bowling Bash, the Attack Speed requirement for it is very low because of the long cooldown.

'''Skill Notes:'''

Cast Delay: 0.5s | Cooldown: 0.35s

We're going to need a 30% After Cast Delay reduction and a 183 Attack Speed to hit the fastest spam rate of Mega Sonic Blow

Additionally our Critical Rate, around 150 to 170 can cover general dungeon/instance farming, newer content like Varmundt's Depths and Garden of Time requires from 190 up to 210

This is a '''reference''' of a leveling path that I tried myself with a brand new Novice using only the '''free equipment''' provided by the '''Eden Group'''.

With this strategy I managed to get my Novice from 0 to 200 in about 2 hours.

<big>'''Lv 1~10 - Starter Quest'''</big>

Follow the MuhRO starter quest through Prontera field and the '''Main Office''' until you reach the '''Eden Group''' and get your '''Starting Gear''' from '''Lothaire''' and '''Shadow Gear''' from '''Lucy'''.

* {{#item:590025}}
* {{#item:400137}}
* {{#item:450183}}
* {{#item:480103}}
* {{#item:470067}}
* {{#item:490122}}
* {{#item:490123}}
* {{#item:24687}}
* {{#item:24688}}
* {{#item:24689}}
* {{#item:24690}}
* {{#item:24691}}
* {{#item:24692}}

<big>'''Lv 10~45 - Anthell'''</big>

Once geared, pause the starter quest for a while and use the Warper to '''Anthell Dungeon''' and kill some Ant Egg, Andre, Deniro and Piere until you reach the '''Base level 45''' required to change jobs, make sure to use your {{#item:7803}}before you reach level 40.

* '''Super Novice Priority Skills'''
** {{#skill:5}} - Main attack skill
** {{#skill:34}} - Stat Booster, increases Str/Dex/Int
** {{#skill:29}} - Stat Booster, increases Agi/Aspd
** {{#skill:45}} - Stat Booster, increases Agi/Dex
** {{#skill:28}} - Self support, HP recovery
** {{#skill:2}} - Increases the damage dealt with Swords and Daggers
** {{#skill:26}} - Mobility

<big>'''Lv 45~90 - Poring Village'''</big>

Once reached level 45 return to the '''Main Office''', change job to '''Super Novice''', head back to '''Eden''' and get a {{#item:500035}}from '''Labraham''', then continue with the starter quest, talk to '''Lunos''' to be taken to the [[Poring Village|Poring Village Instance]] and complete it.

<big>'''Lv 90~99 - Stapo Hunt'''</big>

Get the Stapo hunt quest from the Lv 90 Eden Board, repeat this quest until reaching the level required for the next job change, '''Stapos''' are located one map south of '''Veins Town'''.

* '''Lv 99 Stat distribution example'''

{| class="wikitable"
|'''Str''': 90
|'''Agi''': 90
|'''Vit''': 10
|'''Int''': 1
|'''Dex''': 50
|'''Luk''': 1
|}
Once you reach 99/99 return to the '''Main Office''' and change jobs to '''Expanded Super Novice'''.

At this point you must get the '''Advanced Paradise Equipment Set''' from '''Louis''' and '''Labraham''' in '''Eden'''.

* {{#item:510039}}
* {{#item:400139}}
* {{#item:450185}}
* {{#item:480105}}
* {{#item:470069}}
* {{#item:490126}}
* {{#item:490127}}

You will need the following materials.

* 15x {{#item:7318}}- Obtained from '''Pitmen''' in '''Einbech Dungeon'''.
* 15x {{#item:7200}}- Obtained from '''Wootan Shooters''', located two maps south of '''Umbala Town'''.
* 3x {{#item:1034}}- Obtained from '''Kobolds''', located two maps north of '''Lighthalzen Town'''.

* '''Expanded Super Novice Priority Skills'''
** {{#skill:214}} - Main attack skill
** {{#skill:5075}} - Atk HP and SP increase
** {{#skill:5077}} - HP and SP increase
** {{#skill:5076}} - HP and SP recovery
'''Note:''' Use {{#item:656}}, the higher your Aspd, the faster you can spam {{#skill:214}}

<big>'''Lv 100~110 - More Stapos'''</big>

More Stapos? Yes, mainly to get some job levels for new Skills.

<big>'''Lv 110~150 - Illusion of Moonlight'''</big>

'''Illusion Dungeon''' hunt quests give a great amount of Experience, and this one is pretty easy, get the quest from the Main Office Board or the Npc at the entrance to the dungeon.

* '''Lv 130 Stat distribution example'''

{| class="wikitable"
|'''Str''': 110
|'''Agi''': 110
|'''Vit''': 40
|'''Int''': 20
|'''Dex''': 50
|'''Luk''': 1
|}
<big>'''Lv 150~160 - Lasagna Dungeon 2'''</big>

Get the «Kill 60 Monsters in lasa_dun02» quest from the Lv130 Eden Board, this quest will be used not only for levels but also to get some {{#item:25223}}that we will use to buy new '''Shadow Gear''' and '''Consumables'''.

Use {{#skill:138}} to increase your damage dealt to Combat Basilisks, they will also drop {{#item:607}}, use them to fully restore your HP and SP if necessary.

With the {{#item:25223}}obtained from the Lasagna dungeon quest.

Rent the '''Advanced Shadow Gear Set''' from '''Lucy''' for 20x {{#item:25223}}

* {{#item:24715}}
* {{#item:24693}}
* {{#item:24694}}
* {{#item:24695}}
* {{#item:24696}}
* {{#item:24697}}

And buy '''Consumables''' from the '''Eden Vending Machine'''

* {{#item:14534}}
* {{#item:12459}}
* {{#item:12832}}
* {{#item:23203}}
* {{#item:23204}}

These will be really helpful for the next steps by greatly increasing your defenses and HP/SP regeneration.

<big>'''Lv 160~170 - Illusion of Vampire'''</big>

Get some {{#item:523}}and {{#skill:68}} in your repertoire of skills, this will be of great help since almost all the monsters in this dungeon have '''Shadow''' and '''Undead''' elements.

be careful when hitting the '''Black Mushrooms''', they can cast '''Self Destruction''' which will surely insta-kill you if you are near, {{#skill:51}} can save you from the explosion.

* '''Lv 170 Stat distribution example'''

{| class="wikitable"
|'''Str''': 120
|'''Agi''': 110
|'''Vit''': 100
|'''Int''': 40
|'''Dex''': 80
|'''Luk''': 1
|}
<big>'''Lv 170~180 - Recon Robot Hunt'''</big>

Get the Recon Robot hunt quest from the Lv160 Eden Board, '''Recon Robots''' are located one map through the tunnel southeast of '''Verus Town'''.

<big>'''Lv 180~200 - Thanatos Fragments + Recon Robot'''</big>

At Lv180 you can use the '''Thanatos Fragments hunt quests''' from the '''Main Office''' '''board''', try buying the following items from the market (@ws ItemID).

(Or get them with an alt character?)

* 10x {{#item:7436}}
* 10x {{#item:7437}}
* 10x {{#item:7438}}
* 10x {{#item:7439}}

And turn them in at the '''Main Office board''', these quests reward you with a great amount of Experience but can only taken '''once a day'''.

a single turn in of all four type of fragments can bring you from Lv180 to Lv190.

Then keep repeating the Recon Robot hunt quest until you finally reach Lv200.

* '''Lv 200 Stat distribution example'''

{| class="wikitable"

|'''Vit''': 110

'''Skill Notes:'''

Cast Delay: 1.0s | Cooldown: 0.7s

We're going to need a 30% After Cast Delay reduction to hit the fastest spam rate of Double Bowling Bash, the Attack Speed requirement for it is very low because of the long cooldown.

This is a '''reference''' of a leveling path that I tried myself with a brand new Novice using only the '''free equipment''' provided by the '''Eden Group'''.

With this strategy I managed to get my Novice from 0 to 200 in about 2 hours.

<big>'''Lv 1~10 - Starter Quest'''</big>

Follow the MuhRO starter quest through Prontera field and the '''Main Office''' until you reach the '''Eden Group''' and get your '''Starting Gear''' from '''Lothaire''' and '''Shadow Gear''' from '''Lucy'''.
