Introduction

Hi, I'm Jetago, a Hyper Novice main ^^~

I decided to write this guide to provide a couple of tips for anyone interested in being a Physical Hyper Novice *-*

It'll be focused of course on Double Bowling Bash and Mega Sonic Blow builds

I hope it'll be helpful ^^.

Stats and Traits

Let's go over the basics, Stats and traits and their benefits.

Stat Points Note
Str 120 this is our main damage status, increases Atk and Weight Limit, max it out for the maximal damage output.
Agi 90-100+ Increases Aspd, Flee and improves the effect of Aspd potions, we're going to need a high Aspd to be able to spam our skills properly.
Vit 90-100+ Increases MaxHp, Def, Mdef and Hp recovery, improves our tankiness and survivality (100 total Vit grants Stun status immunity).
Int 50-90 Increases Matk, MaxSp, Mdef, Sp recovery and reduces Variable Cast Time (100 total Int grants Silence status immunity).
Dex 60-100 Increases Hit and reduces Variable Cast Time, also slightly increases Atk and Aspd.
Luk 60-90/120-125 Increases Critical Rate, main stat for critical builds, also slightly increases Atk, Matk, Hit, Flee and Perfect Dodge, raise your Luk depending on your needs or conditions (100 total Luk grants Curse status immunity).
Trait Points Note
Pow 110 Increases Atk, P.Atk and base damage of skills, this is our main damage trait.
Sta 0-35+ Increases Res, optional, get some points if you want to be more resistant to Physical attacks (Close it preferably in multiples of 3).
Wis 0-35+ Increases Mres, optional, get some points if you want to be more resistant to magical attacks (Close it preferably in multples of 3).
Spl 0 Increases Matk and S.Matk, not needed for physical damage dealers.
Con 0/35-110 Increases P.Atk, Hit and Flee, this is the second best damage trait for No-Crit builds and third for Crit (Close it preferably in multiples of 5).
Crt 0/35-110 Increases C.Rate and H.Plus, this is the second best damage trait for Crit builds (Close it preferably in multiples of 3).

Skills

Here i will mention some of the skills that I personally find useful and that you may want to take into account.

Super Novice
34.png Blessing 10 Increases Str, Int, Dex and Hit for 4 minutes
29.png Increase Agility 10 Increases Agi, Aspd and Movement Speed for 4 minutes

7.png Magnum Break 1 Deals damage and knock-back enemies within 5x5 cells around you and significantly increases your damage for a short period after use (The damage bonus doesn't increase with the level of this skill, just level 1 is fine)

Hyper Novice
5449.png Self Study Tactics 10 Increases P.Atk and Hyper Novice skills base damage
5451.png Double Bowling Bash 10 Main offensive skill, deals damage in a 9x9 AoE around the target and further increases its damage with the number of enemies within the AoE
5452.png Mega Sonic Blow 10 Main offensive skill, single target, spammable, can Crit and its damage gets doubled when the target's Hp is below 50%

Skill Tree Example

Gear Progression - 5451.png Double Bowling Bash

Skill Notes: We're going to need at least 30% After Cast Delay reduction to get the max spam rate of DBB, Aspd doesn't need to be very high since it has a long cooldown, however higher numbers would help with with animation delay and cast delay of other skills/buffs.

Skill Notes: We're going to need at least 30% After Cast Delay reduction and 183 Aspd to get the max spam rate of MSB, however higher numbers would help with with animation delay and cast delay of other skills/buffs, also we need around 140 to 150 Crit Rate to always hit crit on any monster, except inside Varmundt's Depth 1 and 2 which would require up to 200.

Leveling

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

Leveling a Super Novice can be tedious, if by any chance you have better equipment, leveling will be smoother and you could even try harder dungeons with better Experience rewards.

Lv 1~10 - Starter Quest

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.

Lv 10~45 - Anthell

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 7803.png Novice Battle Manual (7803) before you reach level 40.

  • Super Novice Priority Skills
    • 5.png Bash - As main attack skill.
    • 34.png Blessing - Stat Booster, increases Str/Dex/Int.
    • 29.png Increase Agility - Stat Booster, increases Agi/Aspd.
    • 45.png Improve Concentration - Stat Booster, increases Agi/Dex.
    • 28.png Heal - Self support, HP recovery.
    • 2.png Sword Mastery - Increases the damage dealt with Swords and Daggers.
    • 26.png Teleport - Mobility.

Lv 45~90 - Poring Village

Once reached level 45 return to the Main Office, change job to Super Novice, head back to Eden and get a 500035.png Paradise Super Novice Sword (500035) from Labraham, then continue with the starter quest, talk to Lunos to be taken to the Poring Village Instance and complete it.

Alternative: Level up in Orc Dungeon F1 killing Orc Zombies and Skeletons, and later on in Glast Heim Monastery with Evil Druids and Wraiths.

Lv 90~110 - Stapo Hunt

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
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.

You will need the following materials.

  • 15x 7318.png Old Pick (7318) - Obtained from Pitmen in Einbech Dungeon.
  • 15x 7200.png Elastic Band (7200) - Obtained from Wootan Shooters, located two maps south of Umbala Town.
  • 3x 1034.png Blue Hair (1034) - Obtained from Kobolds, located two maps north of Lighthalzen Town.

You should also get a 2113.png Novice Shield [1] (2113) from the Lighthalzen Weapon Store, this will provide some resistances and allow you to use Auto Guard.

  • Expanded Super Novice Priority Skills
    • 212.png Back Stab - As next main damage skill. Alternative: 214.png Raid (Sightless Mind).
    • 5075.png Breakthrough - Passive Atk and MaxHP/SP increase.
    • 5077.png Transcendence - Passive MaxHP/SP increase.
    • 5076.png Angel, Help me! - Self Support, HP and SP recovery.
    • 249.png Auto Guard - Defensive buff, blocks enemy attacks.

Lv 110~150 - Illusion of Moonlight

Illusion Dungeon hunt quests give a great amount of Experience, and this one is especially easy.

Tip: Avoid the Wizard of Veritas mob, they have a larger HP pool and cast harmful magic spells.

  • Lv 130 Stat distribution example
Str: 100 Agi: 100 Vit: 80 Int: 10 Dex: 60 Luk: 10

Lv 150~170 - Illusion of Vampire

Get ready with some 523.png Holy Water (523) and 68.png Aspersio 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.

Tip: Avoid the Sweet Nightmare mob, their Ghost element will make you deal less damage on them and their Soul Drain will be rather annoying.

  • Lv 170 Stat distribution example
Str: 110 Agi: 110 Vit: 100 Int: 60 Dex: 70 Luk: 60

Lv 170~180 - Recon Robot Hunt

Get the Recon Robot hunt quest from the Lv130~190 Eden Board (this quest is unlocked at Lv160), Recon Robots are located one map through the tunnel southeast of Verus Town.

Lv 180~200 - Thanatos Fragments

At this point, leveling may get slower, I highly recommend using 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?)

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, combine delivering these fragments with the hunting quest from the previous step until you finally reach Lv 200.

  • Lv 200 Stat distribution example
Str: 120 Agi: 110 Vit: 100 Int: 89 Dex: 89 Luk: 89
