The main purpose of this guide is to provide information on the gear progression for Soul Ascetics. | The main purpose of this guide is to provide information on the gear progression for Soul Ascetics. This guide should be read in tandem with [[Choi's Guide To Magic]] which provides more general information about magic classes. However, as the gear and concepts are similar across different builds, this guide should also be helpful for other magic builds. Please feel free to reach out to me (IGN: Choi or Tokki) for any questions or feedback! | ||
Also, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has helped me, as I learned and continue to learn SA! | Also, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has helped me, as I learned and continue to learn SA! | ||

One of the benefits of the Soul Ascetic is its access to {{#skill:425}} | One of the benefits of the Soul Ascetic is its access to {{#skill:425}} which allows you to change the element of your skills. This will be very helpful leveling but will also be really useful for farming and MVPing. Due to the Soul Reaper skill {{#skill:2601}}, Shadow Element is the highest cap in terms of damage for Soul Ascetic. However, Neutral Element is generally what I focus on, as it is a great element since it can hit almost anything without any negative elemental modifiers aka you don't have to think too much about elements. | ||

'''Leveling''' is a bit difficult for Soul Reaper before reaching Soul Ascetic due to the Soul requirements on skills. As such, I recommend leveling with either {{#skill:2602}} and {{#skill:2604}} or {{#skill:2600}} and {{#skill:2601}}. | |||

The information I will provide for Gear Progression will be more specific to Magic Damage Classes, particularly EXO and Talisman Soul Ascetics.

It may be tempting starting out to want to rush your end-game gear.

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. | |||
Please keep in mind that {{#item:480125}} provides a lot of VCT reduction which you may need as part of your build. | |||
