Spike's Leveling & Cart Cannon Guide

Introduction

From zero to hero: This guide should give you a good starting point to build your Cart Cannon Biolo from scratch. This guide is under constant development and please always keep in mind that there are many different ways to build a strong character and this guide is based on my experiences only.

The guide should be for the first steps similar for other classes too. Feel free to adopt it for your other chars. If you got any questions, you might see me around MuhRO or Discord: Just ask!

First steps up to Genetic

Lets start to built up your newly created character. When you created you new character you start at the beginners quest. DO THAT QUEST - while doing that quest, you change your job already to merchant. You will get the Costume Beginner Cap (20307) - use that because it gives you a good amount of bonus until level 100. At the Eden Group you will get starting gear. You can get your first weapon and armor set from Lothaire in Eden(I mostly take the Paradise Mace (590025) ). Also get the Paradise Shadow gear for free from Lucy.

You are now geared for a good start. Your Equip should now look like this:

Paradise Cap (400137)		-Empty-
-Empty-		Paradise Suit (450183)
Paradise Mace (590025)		-Empty-
Paradise Manteau (480103)		Paradise Boots (470067)
Paradise Gloves (490123)		Paradise Ring (490122)

Your shadow gear should look like this:

-Empty-		-Empty-
Costume Beginner Cap (20307)		Paradise Shadow Armor (24689)
Paradise Shadow Weapon (24687)		Paradise Shadow Shield (24688)
-Empty-		Paradise Shadow Shoes (24690)
Paradise Shadow Earring (24691)		Paradise Shadow Pendant (24692)

Do NOT use the Novice Battle Manual (7803) now! We keep it up for after rebirth to get a sprint in leveling.

• After you got your starting gear, Lunos will ask you if you ready for the beginners instance Poring Village: Do this...

• If you haven't assigned your status point yet, put it 2/3 into STR and 1/3 into AGI. Continue assigning status points while you are in the instance.

• You can kill the monsters in the instance by auto attacks(make sure you enable it with /nc) or you use Cart Revolution. If you want to use Cart Revolution, first kill some porings to get enough skill points to skill Pushcart on max level. Then go back to the Main Office(@go 15 and get a Pushcart from the Universal Rental NPC (main_office 80, 59). Put some heave things into your Pushcart(400x Oridecon (984) or Elunium (985) will max it out) because the weight scales your damage. No matter which way you go, always have Crazy Uproar on, which increases you STR and ATK. By completing Poring Village you get a reward - take the Poring Village Leek (19238) and put it on.

• Now you should be Base Level 53 and Job Level 38. Go to eden @go 16 and pick the board quest(40-69) and kill 20x Orc Skeleton & 20 Orc Zombie. Return to Eden and click the board to get the EXP Reward. You now should be Base Level 67 and Job Level 50. Go to the Main Office @go 15, assign all your Skill Points and change your Job into Alchemist.

• You now can get new weapon from Eden! Go to Abraham and get Paradise Alchemist Sword (500034) . From now on you should use Cart Revolution as described above.
• Continue with these Eden board quests in this order(because they are given from your level):
  • 40-69: Hunt "15x Marduk & 15x Pasana and gather 10x Old Papyrus (25073) "
  • 70-99: Hunt "15x Wraith & 15x Evil Druid"
  • 70-99: Hunt "20x Stem Worm"
  • 70-99: Hunt "20x Reffelsia"
  • 70-99: Hunt "20x Pitman"
  • 70-99: Hunt "20x Waste Stove"
  • 70-99: Hunt "30x Siroma"
  • 70-99: Hunt "30x Roween"
  • 70-99: Hunt "30x Stapo"
  • 70-99: Hunt "20x Shinobi"
  • 70-99: Hunt "10x Dark Priest, 1x Furious Dark Priest"
• Now you should be Base Level 99 and Job Level 50. Do NOT rebirth now!
• Do the Quest Cautious Village until step 8. Do NOT continue with step 9!!
• Now do the rebirth at the Job Master
• Kill 2 Porings to become Job Level 10 and do the jobchange to High Merchant
• Now use the Novice Battle Manual (7803)
• Continue with step 9 of Cautious Village, you are now Base Level 88 and Job Level 50.
• Job Change to Creator (you can now put on your Eden gear on again), don't forget to assign your skill points.
• Continue with these Eden board quests:
  • 70-99: Hunt "20x Live Peach Tree"
  • 70-99: Hunt "20x Evil Cloud Hermit"
  • 70-99: Hunt "20x Wicked Nymph"
  • 70-99: Hunt "10x Spring Rabbit, 10x Dragon Tail"
  • 70-99: Hunt "10x Freezer, 10x Heater"
  • 70-99: Hunt "10x Soldier, 10x Permeter"
  • 70-99: Hunt "10x Assaulter"
  • 70-99: Hunt "20x Breeze"
  • 70-99: Hunt "10x Rybio"
  • 70-99: Hunt "20x Injustice"
  • 70-99: Hunt "10x Zombie Prisoner, 10x Skeleton Prisoner"
  • 70-99: Hunt "15x Teddy Bear"
  • 70-99: Hunt "20x Venomous"
  • 70-99: Hunt "20x Li Me Mang Ryang(Jing Guai) 20x Hyegun(Yao Jun)"
• You are now Base Level 99 and Job Level 70 and can do the job change to Genetic
• Now just kill one Poring and you are Base Level 103.

Next: Way to Biolo

From the moment on you are a Genetic and over Base Level 100 you can get new gear from Eden. In the room you got your first gear talk to Labraham. He will give you a special offer to trade in some items into Paradise Genetic Mace (590028) . Bring him the items and get your new weapon.

Next Talk to Louis. In exchange for some items you take the physical set to get a nice complete set of advanced Eden gear.

At least you can get the Advanced Eden Shadow Set from Lucy. You should rent it for 20 x Eden Coin (25223) in Exchange. You will get the Eden Coin (25223) in the following steps. If you got the amount of 20 x Eden Coin (25223) go back to Lucy and rent that Shadow Gears: it gives you a large Bonus.

You can turn of the Costume Beginner Cap (20307) as it gives no bonus anymore. For now your gear should look like this:

Advanced Paradise Cap (400139)		-Empty-
-Empty-		Advanced Paradise Suit (450185)
Paradise Genetic Mace (590028)		-Empty-
Advanced Paradise Manteau (480105)		Advanced Paradise Boots (470069)
Advanced Paradise Gloves (490127)		Advanced Paradise Ring (490126)

Your shadow gear should look like this:

-Empty-		-Empty-
-Empty-		Advanced Paradise Shadow Armor (24694)
Genetic Advanced Paradise Shadow Weapon (24701)		Advanced Paradise Shadow Shield (24693)
-Empty-		Advanced Paradise Shadow Shoes (24695)
Advanced Paradise Shadow Earring (24696)		Advanced Paradise Shadow Pendant (24697)

Now Leveling starts again:

1. Accept all Quests from the Eden Board 100-110
2. Do all these Quests and turn them in
3. You now should have 22 Eden Coin (25223)

Get your entourage

Pet

The most used pet for Genetic or later Biolo is the Incubus. It gives you nice SP Leech and you will never have worries about empty SP. To get the Incubus Pet, you can go to Geffenia and tame an Incubus by using Girl's Naivety (12370) on it to get the Incubus Egg (9052) or just buy the egg on the market(from other players). You will need a Pet Incubator (643) to call the pet. Incubus consumes Vital Flower (6110) which can be bought in the main office (main_office 101, 33). Don't forget to enable Autofeed in the pet menu. If you don't like to see pets around, you can easily activate the command @hidepet or activate it in the Login Settings in the main office.

Homunculus

Homunculus are often dubbed as rocket science, but they give you a lot of power. In the end, it's not hard to grow a decent Homunculus. With a few steps you get the Homunculus which I recommend as the daily driver. If you want to get deeper knowledge about Homunculus, see this article: Homunculus. You should start to get your Homunculus right after you become Creator.

1. Make sure you have skilled: Bioethics, Rest, Call Homunculus and Resurrect Homunculus
2. Get an Embryo (7142) , you can buy them from other players on the market or create it. To create it see this article: Creations from special jobclasses
3. Use Call Homunculus and you new Homunculus appears. You want to have a Amistr, which appears in this two forms: or

   If you don't get Amistr just simply open Homunculus status window by Alt+R , click Delete and try it again.

4. Get Amistr Loyal! You now can use 90 x Homunculus Supplement (100371) or simply feed it and let it drag along.
5. Use a Stone of Sage (12040) . You now have an evolved Amistr which looks like this: or this:
6. Get some Zargon (912) from the Petfood NPC in main office (main_office 101, 33), open Homunculus status window by Alt+R and enable Autofeeding.
7. Level Homunculus up to Level 99
8. When your Job is Genetic talk to Viorel at (job3_gen01 12, 44) in Lighthalzen and pay him 50.000 Zeny to transform your Homunculus into Dieter:
9. The most valuable skills you get from Dieter are Pyroclastic at Level 131 and Tempering at Level 230

Wooden Warrior and Hell Tree

From the moment you change your job to Biolo you can get additional very strong summons. You should use them only if you need the additional damage because they consume Greater Plant Bottle (1000281) .

1. With the Skill Wooden Warrior you summon Wooden Warrior it increases your Cart Cannon Damage a lot.
2. With the Skill Hell Tree you summon the Hell Tree, which buffs you and gives additional damage.

For the creation of Greater Plant Bottle (1000281) see this page: Creations from special jobclasses or buy them from other players.
