== Introduction ==
Hello everybody! I'm Lxna, I have played ragnarok fopr many years but this year I started pushing myself into getting better at the game, understanding mechanics, and helping others so we always have a community to grow together. I started MuhRo around August 24, and since then i've been growing stronger, farming and making some friends on my journey. I started as an Imperial Guard because i really like more chonky (tanky) class and it was the perfect starter for me!

Hello everybody!

I started MuhRo around August 24, and since then i've been growing stronger, farming and making some friends on my journey. I started as an Imperial Guard because i really like more chonky (tanky) class and it was the perfect starter for me!


Important to say that I am not even remotely close of being a good Imperial Guard as I just started playing recently, i am just sharing my opinion and thoughts about the progression based in my experience!

Imperial guard (IG) is a really strong starter, has great dps output, it is really tanky (in farming runs it's almost impervious to damage!) and it has a really smooth and enjoyable gear progression. I do recommend this class, even if it's your first character on the server.

Do note that IG have a magic, a melee and recently a ranged physical build, but this guide will focus only on the magic vertent, which the main skill used is Cross Rain.

I've used [[Choi's Guide To Magic]] almost entirely to progress through every phase with very few changes. In every phase i will list the equipments expected to have and the changes made from his guide!
I've used [[Choi's Guide To Magic]] almost entirely to progress through every phase with very few changes. In every phase i will list the equipments expected to have and the changes made from his guide!
One thing that I highly recommend is to progress your gear as your progress the character story! If it is your first time playing renewal or if you have never payed attention in ragnarok story, take a breath and enjoy the npcs and story! Is pretty rewarding to feel that you've farmed what you needed to start farming in some place stronger as you progress with your story together!

=== Phase One ===
=== Phase One ===
Moving forward, your main priority is to see where you can reduce your fixed cast time, and your second priority will be increasing your damage output (for now).
Moving forward, your main priority is to see where you can reduce your fixed cast time, and your second priority will be increasing your damage output (for now).
Abilities will have a specific Fixed Cast Time and Variable Cast Time. For EXO your fixed cast time is 1.5s and your Variable Cast time is 2.2s. For Talisman your fixed cast time is 1.5s and your Variable Cast time is 1s
Fixed Cast Time can be reduced by equipment (Most often through Shoes, Costume Enchant Stones, Accessories, and Higher Level Headgear).
Variable Cast Time can be reduced by gear (all types of gear) and stats. The formula to calculate your Variable Cast Time Reduction is 1 -((1-((Int + (Dex*2))/530)) * (1 - Bonus VCT from gear)).
For now, just assume that your VCT will come in time and go full int and dex for your stats.


At Level 150, you can start using  Grace Magic Boots [1] (470021) , which can be obtained after completing the 17.1 Questline from the Sentinel NPC. The boots are the easiest way to obtain some Fixed Cast Reduction, providing .5s at Refine Level 7. However, due to EXO and Talisman builds high FCT requirements, you will want to go for  Gray Wolf Shoes [1] (470088) or  Glacier Shoes [1] (450268) as soon as possible.
{{#skill:5267}} only has 1.5s Fixed Casting Time (FCT) and {{#skill:2321}} has 0.5 FCT and 6s Variable Casting Time (VCT), so at this point we should have at least 120 points in INT and DEX to help reduce {{#skill:2321}} VCT.
At Level 170, you will have access to the Illusion of Labyrinth and its related equipment. The Illusion Morpheus Set will provide a good boost in damage, and a +9  Illusion Morpheus's Hood [1] (19428) will give you Skill Cast Interruption Protection.
 
Lastly, the Advanced Paradise Equipment does not provide a Middle or Lower Headgear, so getting middle and lower headgears will provide an easy upgrade.
You should start progressing through the story to unlock all the maps and instances, and if this is your first character ever you will need to do it, so you can just buy the episode unlock with further characters!
 
With the phase eden equipment you can probably finish episode [[16.1 Banquet for Heroes]] and start progressing through [[17.1 Illusion]]. Episode 17 is the episode where you will start your farm adventure, probably hunting in Rudus 1, 2 and 3 looking for {{#item:25669}} and {{#item:25723}}.


Phase 1 Gear
If you are only rushing levels to get as soon as possible to 4th class, focus on doing the eden hunting missions for the highest illusion dungeon you can comfortably and constantly kill!
Type Item Notes
Upper +9 to +11  Illusion Morpheus's Hood [1] (19428) You can use  Rune of Intellect Lv2 (29001)  Rune of Intellect Lv2 (29001) depending on how long you plan on staying on Illusion Morpheus Hood. Make it +11 if you decide to enchant it.
Middle Cor Core Booster (410091) or  Cor Core Booster [1] (410092) Depending on if you have a card or not.
Lower CD in Mouth (420003)
Armor Advanced Paradise Robe (450186) , +7 to +9  Grace Eswhoo Robe [1] (450118) or +7 or +9  Grace Explosion Robe [1] (450119) Espa:  Grace Eswhoo Robe [1] (450118) or Curse Explosion:  Grace Explosion Robe [1] (450119)
Weapon +7 to +9  Illusion Survivor's Staff [2] (2051) or +7 to +11  Illusion Thorny Staff of Darkness [2] (550030)
Shield Illusion Silver Guard [1] (460018)
Garment +9 to +11  Illusion Morpheus's Shawl [1] (20948) or +7 or +9  Grace Magic Manteau [1] (480019) You can use  Rune of Intellect Lv2 (29001)  Rune of Intellect Lv2 (29001) depending on how long you plan on staying on Illusion Morpheus Shawl. Make it +11 if you decide to enchant it.
Shoe +7 to +9  Grace Magic Boots [1] (470021)
+7  Gray Wolf Shoes [1] (470088)
+7  Glacier Shoes [1] (450268) Early on you can use Grace Shoes, but you will want to get the Gray Wolf or Glacier Shoes quickly.
Accessory (Right) Illusion Morpheus's Ring [1] (32238) or  Grace Magic Ring [1] (490020) Use the Grace Ring if you're using the Grace Set.
Accessory (Left) Illusion Morpheus's Bracelet [1] (32239)


Zeny Tip: Illusion of Underwater 2 and Illusion of Labyrinth are great places to farm zeny starting out, and you'll be able to get  Underwater Refinement Box (100425) and  Labyrinth Refinement Box (100423) to upgrade your gear or to make Safe to Refine tickets!
The following table has the '''minimum level''' required to access the content related to farm. Focus here is minimum, as chances are that each new map that we unlock will be to hard for us to properly farm there without progressing our gear.

Pro tip: Check [[Armor Weapon Tickets]] page to safely refine level 1 gear to +11.


=== Phase Two ===
=== Phase Two ===
1.5s Fixed Cast Reduction is what you need. If you haven't already, your focus will be on getting Gray Wolf Shoes [1] (470088) with the  Wolf Orb (Fixed Casting) Lv.3 (310602) or any other 1s FCT reduction shoe.
At this point, we really need to get the 1.5s FCT so we can use Cross Rain to farm even faster. Focus on getting these first:


The Brilliant/ Sinful Sapphire Accessory Pairs give a good amount of damage and provide .2s and .3s FCT reduction respectively. With the  Minor Casting Stone (Garment) (25170) that gives .3s FCT reduction, you'll have a total of 1.5s or 1.6s FCT reduction. I do not recommend getting a  Cast Stone (Garment) (25067) if it's too expensive, as you'll already have enough FCT!
* {{#item:470021}}: 0.5s
Moving forward, we're just working on damage; let's up those numbers!!
* {{#item:1000616}}: 0.5s
* Brilliant/ Sinful Sapphire Accessories: 0.2s / 0.3s
The final FCT required can be acquired these ways:


Between the  Gray Wolf Robe [1] (450178) and the  Snow Flower Robe [1] (450207) , both options are great.  Gray Wolf Robe [1] (450178) provides more damage and  Snow Flower Robe [1] (450207) provides more tankiness. Generally,  Snow Flower Robe [1] (450207) will be cheaper, as you can buy the necessary enchantment stones from other players. However, this requires other players to have and be willing to sell those stones, which may not always be the case.  Gray Wolf Robe [1] (450178) , however, requires farming of  Amethyst Fragment (1000405) which may be grindier but more reliable. My recommendation if you plan on going the snow flower route is to make sure that the stones you need for the  Snow Flower Robe [1] (450207) are available.
*{{#item:25170}}
*{{#item:470023}} using {{#item:1000134}}
*{{#item:470088}} using {{#item:310600}}


The Vesper Headgear is time-gated, requiring mysterious ores from a 24hr cooldown instance. You can try to farm these if you would like or buy these from a vendor.
Or you can wait until next phase where we will get our +9[C] {{#item:470204}} which will already give 1s FCT!


Phase 2 Gear
Once we get 1.5s FCT our focus should be getting our weapon ready! This will be the biggest damage jump for the lowest price.
Type Item Notes
Upper +9 to +11  Survival Circlet-LT [1] (400154) or +9  Vesper Headgear [1] (400111) To Craft and To Reform the Survival Circlet. To Craft the Vesper Helmet
Middle Battle Processor [1] (410017) or  Cor Core Booster [1] (410092) Unslotted versions are fine if you don't have a card to use.

Alternatively, you can continue to use CD in mouth combo for a while.

Between the {{#item:450178}} and the {{#item:450207}}, both options are great. 
Gray Wolf Robe [1] (450178) provides more damage and  Snow Flower Robe [1] (450207) provides more tankiness. Personally I don't like to farm for amethyst fragments because it takes a lot of time to get all the ammount necessary and Oz Dungeon 2 does not drop anything useful other than the amethysts, but this is entirely personal preference.

Zeny Tip: Thanatos 11 and 12 are great places to farm at this point and in general, and you'll be able to farm the materials for your accessories.  Guyak Pudding (12710) will help tremendously to prevent the  Decrease Agility debuff effect.

=== Phase Three ===
=== Phase Three ===
You can sit pretty comfortably on the Phase Two gears for a while. The best spots to upgrade are probably the Garment and Shoes if you're still on Grace. Now would be a good time to start farming your Shadow gear as well!
Now it's time to start part of our endgame equipment! Our biggest focus in this step will be shoes, garment and dim glacier weapon! You will also start doing and understading grading and refinement.  
These wiki pages are good reads so you can understand how to self craft the following gear:


Dim Glacier Weapons are a great place to start dipping your toes into the painful world of item grading! Luckily, the  Dim Glacier Reinforcement Device (101637) helps ease you in. Dim Glacier and Snow equipment can be obtained after completing Episode 19.
* [[Refinement]]
* [[Grade Enhancing]]


Phase 3 Gear
Be prepared to farm '''a lot.''' Serious, you will need something near 3k dim glacier boxes so you can fully craft your weapon lol.

Zeny Tip: You should be able to farm comfortably at Clock Tower Basement and Niflheim 2 now, and they'll provide a lot of great end-game material as well. As mentioned, now would be a great time to work on your shadow gear, as both those maps provide  Shadowdecon (25729) .

<br>Cost:
 
* 110x {{#item:1001031}}
 
* 110x {{#item:1001032}}
* 11x {{#item:1001033}}
Source: opening {{#item:41246}} and then incinerating it at {{#navi:icas_in|191|56}}To use the boxes to increase the refine you will use more:
* 440x {{#item:1000608}}
* 110x {{#item:1001031}}
* 110x {{#item:1001032}}
Ps: {{#item:1000608}} will drop from the same monster that you will kill to get the weapon boxes. <br>
 
To do the grade, each attempt will consume it specific Etel Stone, which can be bought from Grade Enhancer Garm at {{#navi:grademk|33|183}} with {{#item:1000323}} and the correct stone. <BR>All of the stones can be bought at Jeweler at {{#navi:morocc|165|54}}

We're almost at End Game. Time to make some of the tougher gears. You can skip to Phase Five if you think you can comfortably get the Equipment from Constellation Tower (Hard), Alice Twisted Madness (Hard) and Depth 1 and 2.


For Talisman Builds, the Time Dimension Combo will be the biggest upgrade for the build, and you will be dropping Vesper Helm for the TD Crown. However, Depth 2 is a very difficult map, so you won't be able to farm there until Phase 5. That being said, feel free to Grade and upgrade your Vesper Helm or keep it at +9 or +12 or continue to use the Survival Circlet-LT until you can get to the TD Combo. For EXO Builds, you will continue to use the Vesper Helm, so you will want to Grade and Enhance it.

=== Phase Five ===
=== Phase Five ===
AKA the final phase. Phase Five revolves around the gear you get from Constellation Tower, Alice Twisted Madness, and Biosphere Depths and Depths 2. The Enchants on the Stellar Spell Seal provide a large boost in VCT reduction that you'll need after losing the Convertible Magical Wing and Wolf Robe. I don't recommend switching out of the Convertible Magical Wing until you get the Stellar Spell Seal fully enchanted and upgraded.
We are finally at the end. I can guarantee that you have spent at least a good ammount of hours to get here, but I can assure we are far from over! At this phase we will slowly upgrade each piece of our gear up until we have nothing more to change and the only possible upgrades are MVP cards and refines past +12!


The  Engraved Soul Purification Rune Robe [1] (450284) is the better armor, particularly against bosses. However, you will still likely need  Nebula Robe of Spell [1] (450173) before being able to farm Biosphere Depths effectively.
Also I am also at this phase, so i havent tested or either have each piece that are suggested here! Please feel free to PM me with suggestions of gear to use at this point!


The Items from Alice Twisted Madness can provide S.Matk and Magic Damage with Element or provide a lot of VCT Reduction. You should get enchants according to the amount of VCT reduction you need for your build.
Our focus will revolve around the gear you get from Constellation Tower, Alice Twisted Madness, and Biosphere Depths and Depths 2. We will also switch over Vesper+Dim Glacier to Time Dimension Crown+Dimension Weapon.


Phase 5 Gear
==== Suggested priority to upgrade ====
Type Item Notes
Unlikely the other phases, I will put a priority '''suggestion''' so you can try to upgrade each one at a time:
Upper EXO: +11 to +12 [A] Vesper Headgear [1] (400111)
# 9 [A] {{#item:400530}} &12 [A] {{#item:500092}} (You NEED both at grade A, otherwise dim glacier is better)
Talisman: +12 [A] Time Dimensions Rune Crown(Soul Ascetic) [1] (400544)
# 11 [A] {{#item:470204}}
TD:  INT+5 (4714) , Time Dimension Jewel (Wisdom) 3Lv (312718) or  Time Dimension Jewel (Agility) 3Lv (312700) or  Time Dimension Jewel (Intelligence) 3Lv (312709) ,  Magic Essence Jewel 1Lv (312759)
# 11 [A] {{#item:480233}}
Middle Gambler's Seal [1] (410233)
# 12 [A] {{#item:450173}}, if you haven't yet
Lower Ace of Spades in Mouth (Magical) (420213)
# 12 [A] {{#item:470204}}
Armor +12 [A] Nebula Robe of Spell [1] (450173)
# {{#item:410233}} and {{#item:420213}}
+11 to +12 [A] Engraved Soul Purification Rune Robe [1] (450284) Nebula: Star Cluster of Spell Lv.3 (310688) , Nebula of Spell Lv.3 (310738) or  Nebula of Health Lv.3 (310744) ,  INT+5 (4714)
# Varmundt Rings (Varmundt rings will only be better than Brilliant/Sinful if you get {{#item:311958}} beyond lv 3, that is why the rings are bottom of the priority!)
Depth:  Soul Purification Rune 10Lv (312374) ,  Purification Rune 5Lv (312364) ,  Soul Rune 5Lv (312359)
Weapon EXO: +12 [A] Dim Glacier Wand [1] (550089)
EXO: +11 [A] Flush Welding Wand [2] (550092)
Talisman: +12 [A]  Dimensions Soul Stick [2] (550131) or +12 [A]  Dimensions Soul Rod [2] (550132) Dim:  Glacier Flower Spell (Magical Grade) Lv5 (311458)  Glacier Flower Spell (Exorcism of Malicious Soul) (311320)  Glacier Flower Spell (Exorcism of Malicious Soul) (311320)
Flush:  Expert Magician Lv5 (311393)  Caster Lv5 (311404)
Time Dim: For the Dimensions Weapon, use the enchant you prefer.
Shield +9 to +12 [A] Mad Bunny-LT [1] (460020)
+10 to +12 [C]  Glacier Guard [1] (460040) MB: Variable Casting (Magical) Lv.3 (310860) or  Magical Lv.3 (310872) .
Glacier: Your choice on the enchants for the Glacier Guard.
Garment +11 [A] Death Rune Manteau [1] (480233)
+11 [A] Dim Glacier Muffler [1] (480284) DRM: Spell of Varmundt Lv3 (310925)  INT+5 (4714) Second Slot Enchant is your choice.
Dim:  Grace of the Snake God (312157) , Malice of the Snake God(MATK) Lv10 (312156) ,  Malice of the Snake God(DEF) Lv10 (312136)
Shoe +12 [A] Moan of Corruption [1] (470204)
Accessory (Right) Stellar Spell Seal [1] (490136)
Temple Rune Ring [1] (490304) SSS: Star of Spell Lv.5 (310711)  Star of Spell Lv.5 (310711)
TRR:  Intelligence of Varmundt Lv5 (311958)  Fragment of Varmundt (SPL) Lv5 (311998) If you don't need the VCT Reduction from Stellar Spell Seal you can use a Temple Rune Ring instead.
Accessory (Left) Temple Magic Ring [1] (490307) TMR: Intelligence of Varmundt Lv5 (311958)  Fragment of Varmundt (SPL) Lv5 (311998) Second Slot Enchant is your choice. Best is  Brilliant Biosphere Gem (Boss Type) (311943)


For pure damage, Temple Rune Ring [1] (490304) is better than  Stellar Spell Seal [1] (490136) due to the power of the Second Slot Enchant. However, the Second Slot Enchant is limited to two races (unless you get the normal/boss enchant). Additionally, the Stellar Seal gives 30% variable cast reduction from a single accessory which is very powerful.
Again, take this with a grain of salt and decide for yourself what's the best next upgrade you should focus on!


  Sinful Sapphire Ring [1] (490052) and  Sinful Sapphire Necklace [1] (490053) will still be useful to have due to its race modifiers against dragon which will be very strong against Betelgeuse and Jabberwocky.
The Engraved Soul Purification Rune Robe [1] (450284) is the better armor, particularly against bosses. However, you will still likely need Nebula Robe of Spell [1] (450173) before being able to farm Biosphere Depths effectively. Once we get the Hall of Life update, it seems that Nebula will be the better armour because of the new enchants!

=== Nebula x Soul Rune - Stats Comparison ===
Comparison made with a +12 [A] {{#item:450173}} and +12 [A]{{#item:450284}}, assuming you have at least 120 INT and 105 SPL:
{| class="wikitable"

As we can see, Soul Rune gives a little more damage overall than Nebula because of the added SPL which converts to S.MATK, but Soul Rune gives tons of defence and utility, which Nebula does not. Important to say that Soul Rune gives % Magical Damage against Boss class which IS HUGE in depth farming as we don't have a lot of that in our stats and it will multiply a lot better than all elemental damage%.
