If you followed so far you should be now Base Level 170. You are now able to wear good additional gear which is described in the chapter: Mid Game Gear. But you should keep in mind, that your Advanced Eden Gear is pretty good - don't give it up to fast, because new gear will cost a little Zeny ;-) To further get a good progress you should now do the following episode quests to gain access to the next leveling spots: [[17.1 Illusion]]. As you are already in the episode quests, do the [[17.2 Sage Legacy]] quest directly afterwards.

:# From your acquired {{#item:25223}} buy a {{#item:12208}} from the Eden Machine {{#navi:moc_para01|51|30}}
:# Use the {{#item:12208}} now. You got now 60 Minutes extreme leveling!
:# In odin_past kill as much monsters as you can, but at least 240 Monsters in your 60 Minute {{#item:12208}} time. You need here many {{#item:18002}} so be prepared.
:# '''Before!''' the 60 Minute end and the {{#item:12208}} expires go to eden and main office and turn all quests in. You can always control the remaining time in the status icon with EXP in it. On mouseover it shows you the exact remaining time.
* Now you should be Base Level 200 and you can do the job change to Biolo. Your Job Level should turned long time ago to Level 70 ;-)
When something went wrong and you didn't keep up with the steps in the guide, simply take one or the other board quest to get back on track.
==Leveling as Biolo==
Leveling as Biolo is easy until level 230. After level 230 leveling takes more time. But as you got access to the most gear or content just keep it cool.
From Level 200 on keep doing the boards in Eden and Main Office. More Quests will become available in the later levels. When you start a fresh day and you got a {{#item:12208}} or even better a {{#item:12411}} bought from from {{#item:50000}} in Main Office I suggest following procedure:
# Take all available quests (including instances from Main Office Instance Board)
# Do them but don't turn them in
# After completion activate the {{#item:12208}} or {{#item:12411}}
# Turn all quests in together
Outside of the boards, good leveling spots are:

==Stats for Biolo==
Biolo is a 4th class job - all 4th class jobs get new stats called: ''Trait Status''. You can allocate them in the fold out menu under you regular stats. You should invest in just 2 stats - POW maxed out and rest into CON. When you are Level 250 this looks like this:

===Spam Cart Cannon===
Under certain circumstances you are able to spam {{#skill:2477}} like a machine gun. This requires to have {{#skill:5344}} out and a very precise balancing of various factors:
====Instant Cast====
To reach that you skills have no more variable cast time its possible to do it by gear. But the best way is to achieve it through skill points. For help take this formula:
<code>DEX × 2 + INT >= 530</code>
You can check you current reduction with the command <code>@bs</code>. If you reached the goal of instant cast it should look like this:
[[File:InstantCast.png]]
====After Cast Delay(ACD)====
Cart Cannon has a After Cast Delay of 0.5s. I'll skip all the math behind it and make it simple: you have to have 72% After Cast Delay reduction. To achieve this you have to reach 42% from your gear. Look at my my gear suggestion: here you will find more than enough possibilities. The remaining 30% you can get also from gear(but that's the more complicated option). The easiest option is to have a befriended Bard who gives you Level 10 {{#skill:321}} which reduces After Cast Delay by 30%.
You can check your current After Cast Delay with <code>@bs</code> and it should look like this(I know: in the screenshot its 2% too much...):
[[File:ACD74.png]]
====Attack Speed (ASPD)====
You need 193 ASPD, which is achieved by putting stat points into AGI. As you need the most stat points for other stats you can use gear which gives you ASPD or use consumables like:
* {{#item:657}} (bought from tool dealer)
* {{#item:12437}} ([[Creations from special jobclasses|you can produce them by your own]])
You can check your current ASPD directly in the status window:

Coming soon...
===Early Mid Game===
After laying down your Eden Gear you can very cheap get another great set. It bridges the time until you have better gear.
The set is called Grace Set and is available from Sentinel {{#navi:sp_cor|115|129}} for 20 {{#item:25669}} each, which you gotten in the leveling session in Rudus. You can easily refine the Armor, Manteau and the Boots to +9 with the {{#item:100130}}, which you can buy from the same NPC for 20 {{#item:25723}} each(also from Rudus). You can enchant it if you like(not necessary), for more information see this article: [[Grace Set]].
 
In addition to the grace set you can wear: {{#item:400001}} and {{#item:420030}} which should be easy available for you on the market from other players.

===Late Mid Game===
Late Mid Game gear is gear which will cost you some time(and of course Zeny). From here on until End Game Gear its always a transition of switching some pieces until you get later the "Best in Slot" gear. Give yourself a plan how you will progress because wrong decisions will cost more time and Zeny.
From now on [[Refinement|refining]] comes as a blast in your life. I suggest here the affordable refining levels - if you are lucky you can refine to a much higher level ;-)

'''Shadow Gear:''' You can stay long time with the Advanced Eden Shadow Gear. I suggest a transition directly from there to End Game shadow gear.


==End Game Gear==
==End Game Gear==
Now it gets freaky ;-) End game gear is always expensive and should not be your first target if you just startet. It can take weeks or even months to get it to a more or less acaptable stage. So don't be afraid if it don't comes together quickly.
In End Game gear Level 5 weapons and Level 2 armors are entering the stage. New to them is that they can get [[Grade Enhancing|Grades]], which makes it much more complicated to max them out, but it will really be worth it.
I keep it here realistic with refine levels - if you want you always can go further. Also MVP Cards are not considered because they have such rare drop rates.

==Costume Enchants==
It is possible to enchant costumes and these enchants give Cart Cannon a pretty neat boost. For more information, see: [[Costume Enchants (Fashion Points)]]. I list here the optimal combination of Costume Enchants for our Cart Cannon Built:

Feel free to choose yourself in the lower headgear what you like. I chose the Teleport Stone to save the slot normally occupied by the creamy card.
==Biolo Skill Builds (Under Construction)==
These are at the moment theoretical builds who are under construction. Feedback is always appreciated.
===Mayhemic Thorns===
{{#skill:6006}} is a mighty Biolo skill which is able to do critical hits. Try to keep {{#skill:5348}} and {{#skill:5347}} up because it gives you a huge damage increase.
The following stats are a suggestion for the mentioned gear. You should focus to get 130 CRIT in you stats. That's why I don't focus on LUK in stats because the gear already gives so much. You'll maybe switch something forth and back... Keep in mind to get somehow instant cast:
