View source for Johnny's Small Guide of 1x / 1x rate Meister


== Introduction ==
Hello there,

You must be curious why there are a lot chat about 1x rate character (a character that has drop boost of 50% but exp rate is limited to 1x instead of 50x).

Honestly, playing 1x exp is very hard and tiring and consume a lot of your resources (Muh Coins, Eden Coins) to buy consumables and I personally not recommending your 1st character in MuhRO to be 1x / 1x rate ^^

And I assume you are familiar with how things work in MuhRO ^^


My advice is only create 1x character when you have several characters with x50 rate and you already have a lot of {{#item:50000}} - at least 20,000 of this coins will help you levelling and {{#item:25223}} - you need at least 2,000 of this coins to buy consumables from Vending Machine

When I was creating 1x character, I was using these characters with multi-client :

* Cardinal - This is my main booster, since this class has this powerful skill - {{#skill:5073}} - that can summon all party members at same map when the Party Leader is the Cardinal



To my personal preference, playing acolyte class as your main can be very stressfull and tiring since you will not be a fully supportive type until =

* you reached 4th job in here
* reached base level 250
* have proper equipments as supportive class

I personally recommend to create an Acolyte class up to 4th job (Cardinal) only during EXP Event occured in this server, it will save you a lot of time since it will gives extra 50% EXPerience gained from killing monsters and submitting / turning in quests.

Most players will create Cardinal as an alt once their "farmer class" fully equipped and they need personal buffs for doing instances.

But if its about your memory of playing Ragnarok back in 2003-2010, and playing supportive class is in your blood, then why would I stop you ^^


Well, playing an ACOLYTE Class is quite fun and I must say it's a challenging class to play as offensive class but in this guide I will only write on how to become a FULL SUPPORT CARDINAL (Acolyte's 4th job) that will always depends on partying for end game contents.

=== Character Creation ===
For Character Creation, here are some things you need to know :

# As you know, that MuhRO has verification system for new players inside their Discord channel, so make sure you have verified your discord account.
# Client download is only available inside MuhRO Discord channel
# Create several Game Accounts inside your Master Account
# Make sure to remember which Game Account that will act as your Main Account (where you will play your character most of the time. Here is example of my Game Accounts =

[[File:Main_and_Alts.png|center|thumb|My Main Account and Alts Account]]


As you can see, I labeled my Main Account with suffix 10 or anything you like, and its where you will be playing your cardinal most of the time and where you will receive daily gift and event giftboxes (you can search seasonal event at this wiki search box).

My recommendation is to create an acolyte in your Main Game Account and a merchant at you Alt Game Account. By using this method, you can drop your loots from your acolyte/priest/arch bishop/cardinal into storage and then load the merchant class at your Alt Game Account to sell them with Level 10 Overcharge Skill to Tool Dealer.

=== Shortcuts ===
When you first enter the game, you will be taken to Tutorial Grounds, follow Adventurer Lunos and prepare your Shortcuts since you will be using these shortcuts a lot in future.

Here is an example of my shortcut (I had to change the Alt+M key to + sign since I do not want to change the default system key ^^  ) =

[[File:Shortcuts.jpg|frameless]]


You can read more detail about shortcuts in [[Player Commands|here]] . But remember, delete all shortcuts that will take you back to your savepoint or to any town when you are doing end game contents such as [[Hall of Life]] , [[Tower of Trials]] and [[Constellation Tower]] since you will ruined the teamwork, hehe.


During Tutorial Walk, always set your autoloot to 100% (type @al 100 at in-game chatbox)
[[File:Autoloot_100.jpg|left]]
[[File:Autoloot.jpg|left]]


You are starting this game with big ZERO, so you will take everything from now, hehe.

== Levelling and Gear Progression ==

=== Novice (base level 1 - 41) ===
You are starting from Tutorial Ground, follow all instruction from Adventurer Lunos (don't forget @al 100 and set your shortcuts at beginning of Tutorial Ground)
[[File:Tutorial_Ground.jpg|center|thumb|Tutorial Ground]]


My method during this Tutorial Ground is after Lunos casts buffs to our Novice (increase agi 10, blessing 10 and kyrie eleison 10), I usually kill Pupas, Porings, Fabres and any kind of monsters at field until my base level is 41. By reaching base level 41, you will open Eden Quest for level 40 (we will discuss this later in this guide).

During this time, put your all your stat points into STR if you want to play as battle priest (I like this route before 4th job).

Once you reach base level 41 after first buffs from Lunos, continue the Tutorial until the second buffs from Lunos.

When Lunos casted the buffs, talks to Lunos again and you will be attack by harder Porings and Lunos will teleport you to in front of Main Office.


Outside Main Office, Lunos will ask you again if you want to continue the Tutorial, you can choose "I know the way" to end the Tutorial and you will get a {{#item:7803}} (200% EXP gain and can only be activate before base level 40).

Put that Novice Battle Manual (NBM) by dragging from Use Tab to Fav Tab using Alt+E key (to bring up you Inventory items)

If you don't know what if Fav Tab, let just say its a tab where you put things in there and will not be stored into your Storage.


For this guide, let just choose "I know the way" and get the NBM.


Next, enter nearest portal to enter Main Office. Don't forget to put your skill points as Novice up to level 9 before changing class to Acolyte.

Once inside Main Office, go straight up to find Job Master.

If you used all your Novice skill points, then the Job Master will change your class from Novice to Acolyte.


Congrats, you are now an Acolyte with base level 41 and job level 1. ^^

=== Acolyte before Rebirth ===


Next, from Job Master location, go to bottom right screen to find a portal to Main Office 2nd Floor.

Your next destination is the room with stat buffs NPCs.

Once you are in Main Office 2nd Floor, go up until you find a long hallway to your right. Follow that hall way until you reach the end of Hallway and enter the top portal where you can find 4 NPCs =
[[File:Stat_Buffs_NPCs.jpg|center|thumb|Stat buffs NPC]]


I choose the Arc Wand Clan since it gives Dex +1, Int+1 and some stat bonuses. Alternatively, you can choose the Golden Mace Clan, since it gives Dex +1, Luk +1  and some stat bonuses.

Either way, these bonuses stay in your char forever, even when you die in battle.


Next, using @go command, type @go 16 at your chatbox to go to Eden Office. I use @go 16 too often sometimes I forgot where is Eden Office ^^

Oh yeah, your chatbox is also linked to Discord #Global chat channel, just type #global in your whisp box (just like where you type a character name) and type anything in your chatbox.


Inside Eden Office, talk to nearby Kafra Officer and choose Save option to mark Eden Office as your Savepoint.

Kafra Officer can repair your damaged weapons and armors too (with some prices of course).


Move up a bit and you will see Healer NPC and Warper NPC, you will use these NPCs a lot.


Talk to Healer NPC to get free buffs (increase AGI 10 and Blessing 10) plus free Identify Skill. Hopefully you get 1 ea {{#item:2102}}from Pupa. Wear that Guard [1] for your Acolyte.


Next, move up a bit to find a row of NPCs and find Secretary Lime Evenor. Talk to her and choose Join The Eden Group option. This will register your character name as one of Eden Member and you will receive {{#item:22508}}

Move Eden Group Mark, Novice Potions, Novice Fly Wings, First Aid Box (you have these from Lunos) into FAV Tab in your Inventory Window.

And now you can click some boards on right side of Evenor NPC. Some boards you can click are Royal Hunting Board, Eden quest for level 1-39, and Eden quest for level 40-69.

When you click the board, always choose Take All.

You should have the quest for Orc Dungeon active right now (killing Orc Zombies, Orc Skeletons and Zenorcs).


Now, move back down to portal and you can see Storage NPC and Tool Dealer NPC. Click on Storage NPC and choose Master Storage 1. Once Master Storage 1 is open, use @storeall command to drop everything from your inventory except ones inside FAV Tab (or you can use your shortcut earlier, I use Alt+3 for @storeall ).


After dropped your loots into Master Storage 1 (this storage is accessible to all Game Accounts) go to top right to see the portal that will take you to next area of Eden Office. You need to take free gears from Eden Office.

While going to next room, you will see a Vending Machine, this is where you will get your consumables, especially bubble gum, by spending your earned Eden Coins.


Inside the next room, go up until you see a portal with a sign "Paradise Equipments", enter that portal.
[[File:Paradise_Equipments.jpg|none|thumb|Paradise Equipments]]


Inside the room, you will find 4 (four) NPCs lined up vertically. Talk to the top NPC to receive your free Shadowgears for 7 days only. Equip those shadowgears for your Acolyte.

Now talk to the bottom NPC to get your weapons and armor. You can get all basic weapons here and 2 (two) types of armor, one set is for physical damage and one set for magical damage. I use the physical set since doing damage before Rebirth is better than spamming Heal bombs ^^.


Equip your "free gears" and use @go 16 (you should have them in your shortcut) to return to Eden Office Entrance.

=== Acolyte before Rebirth Levelling ===
Talk to Healer NPC before talking to Warper NPC to go to Orc Dungeon.

Choose Dungeons > Ord Dungeon

Walk your way through bottom right to enter portal to Orc Dungeon 2nd Floor while killing Orc Zombies. You will notice yellow message, telling how many monsters you have killed to meet Eden quest requirement.

Orc Dungeon 1st floor is swarmed with Orc Zombies, so you have no issue killing them with your current stat and gears.

Don't forget to :

# add more stat points to STR up to 99 when level up.
# Put Increase AGI, Blessing and Angelus up to level 10
# Put Novice Potions in your skill short cut


By the time writing of this guide, there is EXP-Event running from January 13th to January 20th, 2026, so levelling is faster with 50% more EXP from server ^^


When you are in next floor of Orc Dungeon, kill all Orc Skeletons and Zenorcs to meet Edenn quest requirement.

Stay in Orc Dungeon until your base job is 50 (you should have 99 STR and AGI for around 40-50ish, dont add anything to DEX or VIT now ).

You can add stat points faster by typing /<stat>+ <number> in your chatbox, for e.g /str+ 10 means you add 10 points to STR change STR to AGI, DEX, LUK, VIT, INT


At base job 50, use @go 15 to return to Main Office.

Go to top right from Main Office Entrance where you can see Healer NPC (for free buffs and identify) and Storage NPC at top right.

Drop everything from your Inventory to your Master Storage 1.


Now spend your skill points using Alt+S.

Since I was using battle-type route, my skills are :

* Divine Protection 10
* Increase AGI 10
* Blessing 10
* Angelus 10
* Heal 3
* Ruwach 1
* Teleport 1
* Demonbane 4

Total Skill points  - 49


If you go Heal-bomb route, the skills will be :

* Divine Protection 7
* Increase AGI 10
* Blessing 10
* Angelus 10
* Heal 10
* Ruwach 1
* Teleport 1

Total Skill points  - 49


Once you distributed you Acolyte's skill points, talk to Job Master to change your job into Priest.


Congrats, you are now a Priest with base job level 1 ^^

=== Priest Levelling before Rebirth ===
Now talk to Platinum Skills NPC (she's at right side of Job Master NPC) to get your quest skills for free.

Remember Eden board quest for Orc Dungeon that you have, now use @go 16 to go Eden Office and talk to corresponding board to turn in your quest/mission.

By turning in your mission/quest, you will get EXP and Eden Coins (which you will use this often later).

Put your Eden Coins in FAV Tab for now (and for the rest of game ^^ )

Your Priest should be around base level 80ish and base job level 40ish after turning in Orc Dungeon quest.

Talk again to the board and choose Take All for level 40-69 Eden quests.


Talk to Eden board quest level 70-99 and choose Take All. You should have Glast Heim quest for killing Evil Druids and Wraiths.

Talk to Warper NPC, choose Dungeon > Glast Heim > Monastery.


Kill Evil Druids and Wraiths in there to get the quest done.


During this phase, use this method =

* Get all quest for level 70-99
* Talk to Healer NPC for free buffs
* Use @lw to return to Glast Heim's Monastery
* Kill the monsters
* Use @return or @go 16 to return to Eden Office
* Talk to Healer NPC for free identify
* Drop all loots to Master Storage 1 using @storeall
* Talk to Eden Board Quest Level 70-99 to get EXP and Eden Coins


Use above method until your base level is 99 and base job is 50.

When your base level is 99 and base job is 50, do not talk to Eden Board Quest.

You need to keep them for some time.


You can check your Eden Quest progress using Alt+U and scroll down until the you find your ongoing quest.

A completed quest will have wording Completed in that quest and ready to be submitted to Eden Boards, but do not submit them now.


And for your stat points, you should have 99 STR (or 99 INT), 90ish AGI and maybe some VIT points or any other stat point you like.

For Skill Points, at this phase, i maxed out all offensif skills, such as  =

* Divine Protection 10
* Demonbane 10
* Kyrie Eleison 10
* Sufragium 3
* Impositio Manus 5
* Magnificat 5
* any skill that will depleted my skill points ^^


With base level 99 and base job 50, now you need to farm these items =

* 15 ea {{#item:7318}} - you can get them by killing Pitman inside Einbech Dungeon 1st Floor
* 15 ea {{#item:7200}} - you can get them by killing Wootan Shooter in Umbala Dungeon
* 3 ea {{#item:1034}} - you can get them by killing Kobold outside Glast Heim (Geffen field)

Easier to get these items if you are a battle priest, bonking emenies ^^


Above items are needed to exchange advanced weapons and advanced weapon for your Arch Bishop later. If you have them now, put them in you FAV Tab.


Now, using Alt+U, check the lowest list for eden quest for level 70-99, i usually do Turtle Dungeon, killing Stapos in Vein Field, Increase Soils and all quest that required kill count from Eden quest level 70-99.

Beside getting killing quest from Eden board level 70-99, I took Eden quest level 1-39, I only do killing Megalodon in Beach Dungeon 3 and Eden quest level 40-69, inside Orc Dungeon (killing trio Orc Zombies - Orc Skeleton - Zenorc).


Once you have completed kill count Eden board quest level 70-99, Megalodon (1-39), Orc Dungeon (40-69), return to @go 15 or Main Office and talk to Job Master to Rebirth as High Novice.

=== High Novice after Rebirth ===
As High Novice level 1, your equipments are automatically stripped, no worries.


Return to @go 16 or Eden Office and talk to Eden Board quest level 1-39 first.

Careful, you need to activate you saved {{#item:7803}} before hitting level 40.


One Megalodon quest will take you up to level 20ish or 30ish (when EXP Event is active) and base job level 10. Spend your High Novice Skill Points first, and then return to @go 15 or Main Office to talk to Job Master and change your class into High Acolyte.

=== High Acolyte after Rebirth ===
Congrats, now you are a High Priest.


Now return to @go 16 or Eden Office and use your saved {{#item:7803}}before talking to Eden Board quest level 40-69.

Once the NBM is active, talk to Eden Board quest level 40-69.


'''Watch carefully for your base job!'''


When you first clicked Eden Board level 40-69 and your High Acolyte reached base job 50, press Alt + F4 to close down your client.

Pressing Enter to submit the next quest will only make your base level higher but not your base job, you need to increase your High Priest base job using next quest.


If you pressed the Alt + F4 key, restart your client. Once your High Acolyte loaded and its base job is 50, return to @go 15 or Main Office to change your class into High Priest.


And for skill points, this time I go to INT-route or magic route, since doing physical as Arch Bishop has little benefit.


My skill points for this route is =

* Divine Protection 6
* Increase AGI 10
* Blessing 10
* Angelus 10
* Heal 3
* Ruwach 1
* Teleport 2
* Warp Portal 4
* Pneuma 1
* Aqua Benedicta 1
* Cure 1

Total Skill points  - 49

While for Stat points, wait until you reach level 100++

After the skill points have been distributed, talk to  Job Master at Main Office to become a High Priest.

=== High Priest after Rebirth ===
Congrats, you are now a High Priest.


Return to @go 16 or Eden Office for turning in remaining quests for Eden Board quest level 40-69.


Again, when turning in your quest on Eden Board quest level 70-99, watch carefully for your base level and base job.

Since you have abundant quests on level 70-99, you need to save the rest when base level 99 and base job 70 reached.


When clicking Eden Board quest level 70-99, try to click slow and keep your eyes on your High Priest base level and base job.

You might reach base level 99 and base job 70 and still have plenty quest level 70-99 that can be submitted later.


Hit Alt + F4 when you see your base level and base job on your High Priest reached 99/70.


Restart your client and when your High Priest is loaded, distribute your skill points =

* Increase SP Recovery 10
* Assumptio 5
* Kyrie Eleison 10
* Status Recovery 1
* Resurrection 4
* Turn Undead 3
* Magnus Exorcismus 1 (you just need 1 )
* Lex Divina 5
* Lex Aeterna 1
* Impositio Manus 3
* Sanctuary 3
* Aspersio 4
* Safety Wall 1
* Gloria 4
* Basilica 5
* Meditation 9

Total Skill Point - 69


Talk to Job Master at Main Office after you have depleted your skill points.

Alternatively, after you become High Priest, and before submitting Eden Boards quests, you can do Part 1 : Cautious Village, Bakonawa Lake Quest (read more [[Cautious Village|here]]. (Credit to  for suggesting this quest).

=== Arch Bishop (up until base level 175) ===
Congrats, you are now Arch Bishop base level 99 and base job 1 ^^

Remember, you still have remaining Eden Board quest level 70-99, now its time to spend all of them at Eden Office so go for it.


Once you run out of Eden Board quests, you should be around base level 130ish and base job 30ish.

Now you can take Eden Board quests up to level 120-140 and 130-190


Plus, you can take Illusion Dungeons daily quest by talking to NPC Roxanne, located just below the vending machine inside Eden Office.


First thing first, as an Arch Bishop, you need to prepare some things =

* Your killing skills are Adoramus and Judex
* Your AB buff is Renovatio
* Always bring 100 ea {{#item:717}}
* Alway bring 20 ea {{#item:523}} (you can buy this from Tool Dealer and pack them in 10 ea per pack by going to @go 50 and talk to Gift Box NPC)
* INT 130, DEX 130, VIT 100 is a must, the rest stat is up to you
* Remember those items when you gathered as Priest (15 old picks, 15 elastic bands and 3 blue hairs), you can trade them inside Paradise Equipments in Eden Office for better gear on your Arch Bishop (the two NPC between the top and the most bottom ones)
* Start to get use to using consumables such as {{#item:23204}}, {{#item:14535}} , {{#item:23203}},{{#item:23475}}and {{#item:14600}}
* Above consumables are quite cheap (mostly around 3-4 Eden coins) and their duration is about 30 minutes. You only need Brilliant Protection, Medium Life Potion and Small Mana Potion until you reach base level 200 and base job 70
* Illusion Moonlight Dungeon is your jail up until level 175

[[File:Advanced_Paradise_Gears.jpg|none|thumb|Advanced Paradise Gears]]


With above checklist as Arch Bishop (AB), you can go through one by one. Your NBM probably still running and has 25ish minutes left and the counter will be stopped inside Eden Office and Main Office, so make sure to do the checklist above.

---

Okay, you should have these items in your AB after exchanging Old Picks, Elastic Bands and Blue Hairs =
[[File:AB_Advanced_Paradise_Gear.jpg|none|thumb|AB Advanced Paradise Gear]]
[[File:AB_Paradise_Shadowgears.jpg|none|thumb|AB Paradise Shadowgears]]
For now, we will stay using the free 7-days Paradise Shadowgears.

And have 1 ea  {{#item:23204}}, 1 ea {{#item:14535}} , 1 ea {{#item:23203}}in your inventory (you have enough Eden Coins to buy these consumables).

With above preparation ready, talk to NPC Roxanne and choose Take All quests. Click on your consumables so you don't have to worry about your health going down

With your current base level, gears and magic damage, the best you can do is stay in Illusion Moonlight dungeon until you reach base level 175.
[[File:Daily_Quest_Roxanne.jpg|none|thumb|Daily Quest Roxanne]]
The same method is used during this phase=

* Get all quest from Roxanne
* Talk to Healer NPC for free buffs
* Use @lw to return to Illusion Moonlight dungeon
* Kill the monsters
* Use @return or @go 16 to return to Eden Office
* Talk to Healer NPC for free identify
* Drop all loots to Master Storage 1 using @storeall
* Talk to Roxanne to get EXP, {{#item:25271}}and {{#item:50001}}

Keep in mind that Illusion Dungeon quests will only give you EXP , Illusion Stones and Heirlooms, no Eden Coins rewarded.

You can repeat any quest from Roxanne, 15 times a day and after 15 times, you can only receive EXP without any of the reward. This repeat applicable to Master Account, so if you have 1 Main char and 11 Alts doing Illusion Moonlight quest, it will be counted as 12 times, you have 3 times left for doing Illusion Moonlight quest with any character in your account.

And if you see MVP boss inside Illusion Moonlight dungeon, stay away from it, you cannot kill it for now, so just teleport away ^^

Keep Illusion Stones and Heirlooms in your Master Storage 1 until you really need to open the Heirlooms.

Owh, always do @al 100 ^^

=== Arch Bishop (base level 175 to 200) ===
Okay, so you are now reached base level 175 and bored with Illusion Moonlight Dungeon.

Time to do some Eden Coins farming with you current stats and gears.


Eden Board quest that I have tested I can 1-shot kill monster are (always use consumables such as 1 ea {{#item:23204}}, 1 ea {{#item:14535}} , 1 ea {{#item:23203}})


'''Eden Board Quest Level 100 - 110'''

* 30 ea Nightmare Terror at Magma Dungeon 2nd Floor < this quest gives 4 Eden Coins
* 30 ea Sky Deleter and 30 ea Earth Deleter at Magma Dungeon 2nd Floor < this quest gives 8 Eden Coins
* 10 ea Lava from Golem at Magma Dungeon 1st Floor < this quest gives 4 Eden Coins

You should enter Magma Dungeon 3rd Floor from 2nd Floor to open access at Warper since you are level 175


'''Eden Board Quest Level 120 - 140'''

* 30 ea Banshee (you might need 2-3 shots before you kill this monster), you can use Warper to go to Dungeon > Cursed Abby <  this quest gives 5 Eden Coins
* 30 ea Ragged Zombie and 30 ea Zombie Slaughter inside Cursed Abby 2nd Floor (you might need to buy several {{#item:25464}}to get to the map ) < this quest gives 9 Eden Coins
* 20 ea Necromancers inside Cursed Abby 3rd Floor <  this quest gives 5 Eden Coins


I recommended to use {{#item:12263}}that you bought from Eden Office's Vending Machine using your {{#item:25223}}when farming for Eden Coins.


When you reach base level 190, try to work your way to these dungeons =

* Einbech Dungeon 3rd Floor - Minimum base level to enter is 180
* Odin's Past - Minimum base level to enter is 180
* Abyss Lake 4 - Minimum base level to enter is 190

Try to /memo Odin's Past and Abyss Lake 4 entrance, since these 2 (two) spots are the highest EXP you can get for leeching your alts from 180 to 200 in no time ^^

And you should have enough zeny to buy these items from  other player (use command @ws <ID Number> , e.g @ws 7436 will list all vendors who sells {{#item:7436}} )

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


Once you have above fragments in your inventory and you still have time in your Battle Manual, talk to NPC Roxanne to receive the quest named "Thanatos Tower"

You will receive EXP, and {{#item:50001}}

40 ea of those Thanatos Fragments surely will take you to base level 200 and base job level 70


By the time you reach level 200, you probably own couple hundreds Eden Coins in your inventory and have around 1-3 Million zeny

And this is my skills at Job 70 =

* {{#skill:2038}} 10 < I use this a lot for monsters level >= 120
* {{#skill:2040}} 10 < damaging Holy Elemental skill that consume 1 ea {{#item:717}}
* {{#skill:2054}} 10 < at level 10, boost ATK for 300% and MATK 800%, duration 360 seconds (6 minutes)
* {{#skill:2515}} 5 < at level 5, reduces your Fixed Casting Time for 50%, duration 180 seconds (3 minutes)
* {{#skill:2045}} 5 < same as {{#skill:73}} but for party, at level 5 the skill will block 11 hits
* {{#skill:2046}} 5 < this is a Debuff skill, prerequisisite for {{#skill:2515}}
* {{#skill:2050}} 4 < a HP regen skill for party, at level 4 will regen 7% from max HP for duration of 180 seconds (3 minutes), I use this skill a lot even when using {{#item:14535}}
* {{#skill:2043}} 3 < a heal area, this is the widest skill an Arch Bishop can have, 15 x 15 cells
* {{#skill:2041}} 3 < a party {{#skill:34}} , unfortunately this skill requires high DEX, Fixed Cast Reduction, Variable Cast Reduction and After Cast Delay Reduction, very useful when partying inside Varmundt Depth 1 and Depth 2 dungeon
* {{#skill:2051}} 3 < once a great healing skill for AB, but now its just prereq for  {{#skill:2515}}
* {{#skill:2053}} 1 < when cast to self or a party member, will Ignore DEF for 5% and duration is 150 seconds (1.5 minutes), another prereq to {{#skill:2515}}
* {{#skill:2044}} 1 < another prereq for  {{#skill:2515}} , I don't use this skill much
* {{#skill:2039}} 1 < this skill is also prereq {{#skill:2515}}, but this skill will consume {{#item:717}}to craft {{#item:12333}}. {{#item:12333}} is like a consumable, this skill will make  Divinus Flos become Neutral element attack

Total skill points - 61 points (8 points was taken for activating {{#skill:2040}} and {{#skill:2038}} from High Priest's skill tree )


So, base level 200, base job 70 are achieved, skill points distributed, time to meet Job Master in Main Office to change your class into [[Cardinal]] .

== 4th Job - CARDINAL (yay) base level 200 - 250 ==
Congrats, you are now a Cardinal! ^^


But it's still a long way to go before you can be a Full Support type T.T

Before starting your journey as Full Support Cardinal, you need a farmer to make yourself rich in zeny, since your Main is Cardinal, right? ^^


Right now, you need to open one devastating skill from Cardinal  = {{#skill:5273}}


Here is description of Arbitrium Skill :

{{#skillDesc:5273}}

Since your base job as Cardinal is still 1, you need at least 18 skill points (or job points).

You need to pump your fresh Cardinal back to Illusion Dungeon for gaining that 18 skill points. I went to Illusion Vampires 4 (four) times to open  {{#skill:5273}} Level 10.

Don't forget your consumables, since you have many {{#item:25223}}in your FAV Tab ^^

And if your {{#item:25223}} below 20 ea, pump it up back to 100  inside Magma Dungeon 2nd Floor and Cursed Abby 1st - 3rd Floor.


With {{#skill:5273}} Level 10, now you need to work your gears (I will not work on Shadowgears until you reach base level 275 and base job 60 with very low zeny in possesion ^^  )


Read this guide [[The Road to a Billion Zeny - Newbie Leveling/Farming Guide]] for in depth how to gather your zeny.

'''Please note that mentioned price is taken from current market price at January 17th, 2026, market price may vary depends upon agreed price between buyer and seller.'''


And why I have not put any cards in armor, because at this phase you just need to have zeny to make equipments ^^


The only place to farm zeny with at least 10 M zeny per hour as magic cardinal is Nifleheim Dungeon 1st Floor.

But you will need better gears to 1-shot monsters inside nifleheim dungeon 1st floor ^^


Another easy way for levelling is asking someone to boost your level using #LFG , from base level 200 to 250.


When you reach base level 250, you still have issue with your gears, since you are still using Eden Paradise gears.

You still need to work your zeny, since your target at base level 250 should be to have magic damage gears.


And there is this question, "'''how on muhro realm I will have that many zeny to buy those equipments?'''"

No worries, my child.

Here is example of the price of 1 ea {{#item:6994}}at current market (dated January 17th, 2026)
[[File:+10_Safe_Refine_Armor.png|none|thumb|+10 Safe Refine Ticket for Armor Level 1]]


and this is the sales history
[[File:+10_Safe_Refine_Armor_Sales_History.png|none|thumb|+10 Safe Refine Armor Sales History]]


As you can see, the demand for that item at market is quite how, and this is how you make them = [[Armor Weapon Tickets]]

The materials for crafting 1 ea {{#item:6994}}can be found from Illusion Dungeons, which with Advanced Paradise Gears and level 10 {{#skill:5273}} skill can be easily conquered in less than 4 minutes (1 hit kill in Illusion Vampires Dungeon).

Using your Merchant in different  Game Account, you can vend them below market price for easy money, let say 1 ea {{#item:6994}}for 30 M z, you have 3 ea, you made 90M z EZ PIZI ^^


After all, it's all about grinding and enjoying your leisure time ^^

---

Okay,

you have the gears and your base level is now at least 230, so equip those gears and head to Abyss Lake 4 (you have entered before so you can use Warper > Dungeon > Abyss Lake 4 )

Before entering Abyss Lake 4 dungeon, get all Eden Board quest for level 130-190 and from Roxanne, and cast these skills to your Cardinal =

* {{#skill:33}} 10
* {{#skill:66}} 5
* {{#skill:67}} 3
* {{#skill:73}} 10
* {{#skill:74}} 5
* {{#skill:2054}} 10
* {{#skill:2515}} 5


You can get {{#skill:29}} 10 and {{#skill:34}} 10 from Healer NPC ^^


Kill those dragons with {{#skill:5273}} 10 and it's a 1-shot kill 'em all ^^

Congrats, now you can farm EXP, 33 ea {{#item:25223}} and {{#item:50001}} from turning in Abyss Lake 4 quests ^^


Keep doing Abyss Lake 4 until you hit base level 250.

== CARDINAL (base level 250++ ) ==
When you hit base level 250, it's time to Episode quests as Magical Cardinal =

* [[16.1 Banquet for Heroes]]
* [[16.2 Terra Gloria]]
* [[17.1 Illusion]]
* [[17.2 Sage Legacy]]


By completing Episode 17.2, you will have access to Vardmundt's Mansion and [[Varmundt's Biosphere]] dungeons.

Inside [[Varmundt's Biosphere]] dungeons, there is [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth]] which is pre-end game dungeon, where players usually make a party for levelling and collecting reputation for Depth 1.

when you have enough reputation from Depth 1 dungeon, you can go to [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth 2]] .


In depth about reputation inside Depth 1 and Depth 2 can be found here = [[In Depth review about Varmundt Depth 1 and 2 dungeons with the Depth Keeper himself]].

When above gears are in your possesion, time to reset your stat and skills to become a fully supportive cardinal.

With determined stats, above gears will give your FS Cardinal 100% After Cast Delay Reduction and 100% Variable Cast Time Reduction.

At base level 275, my stats are

STR 2

AGI 91

VIT 130 (i need to have high HP)

INT 120

DEX 120

LUK 15

and the traits

POW

STA 72 (gives you Physical Defense)

WIS 110 (gives you Magic Defense)

SPL

CON

CRT 110 (this will give you plenty Health Points)

Above stats and traits will produce 170,000ish HP and around 51k SP.

The HP is not tanky enough, so for doing Depth 1 and Depth 2 party, do not stand in front of the pack, stay behind and keep casting Clementia, Praefatio, Sufragium, Imposition Manus, Mediale Voltum, Dilectio Heal, Coluceo Heal, Renovatio and Angelus.
