Stats

Stats	Effects	Notes
Str	Increase Attack & Weight Limit	Suggested Value at [100-120], it improve some of your Damage and easier loot management. Click here to see how much it affect your Damage.
Agi	Increase Attack Speed (Aspd) & Flee	Suggested Value at [1], its possible to get 193 (Max Aspd) with equipment and consumables alone.
Vit	Increase Max HP & HP Healing Effectiveness	Suggested Value at [130], the most important stats for DcB DK. Click here to see how much it affect your Damage.
Int	Increase Max SP & Reduce Cast Speed	Suggested Value at [60-100+], increasing Max SP improve some of our damage but not a lot, the main reason to up this stat is for the cast point. Stop adding Int until you get 530 cast point.(1 Int = 1 cast point)
Dex	Reduce Cast Speed, Increase Hit & Slight Increase Attack Speed	Suggested Value at [120], the 2nd most important stats for DcB DK is to get 530 cast point((Dex*2) + int). Not worth to add beyond 120 Dex as it cost a lot just for +1 Dex (2 cast points), instead, relocate the remaining to Int until you reach instant cast. Using Stats to gain Instant Cast is Better than getting Instant Cast by VCT 100%.
Luk	Increase some Hit & Attack	Suggested Value at [1-100], the main reason for this stats is just to get curse immunity (total Luk at 0 or 100).

• Tip:- Don't forget to visit Clan Room for Permanent additional Stats gain, can switch between Clan anytime. 「 Sword Clan give +1 Str & Vit」, 「 Arc Wand Clan give +1 Int & Dex」, 「 Golden Mace Clan give +1 Luk & Int」, and 「 Crossbow Clan give +1 Dex & Agi」located at (main_office 113, 310).

Newbie Leveling Guide Lv1-Lv200

Leveling routes & Getting Equipment

Notes:- This is Newbie friendly route, this may not be the most efficient route for Leveling but it covers most of the early part equipment and slowly build your way to Mid Game Equipment progression. There's a Video Format if it's too much Text (Sorry :'<) , Please Enjoy the Video. Arguably farming Zeny and buying Equipment is the most efficient way, but slowly progressing this way let you experience the enjoyment, satisfaction and frustration of hunting Equipment, crafting Runestone, Enchanting & Refining. Thats the unique aspect of Ragnarok, please have fun! It is super important to finish the starting tutorial for Novice Battle Manual (7803) as it boost EXP gain from monster defeated and quest submission by 200% for 30 minutes. This Costume C. Beginner Cap (20307) is super useful for starting out your journey. The 1st half of the route before rebirth (Lv99) is more relaxed, but the 2nd half is time constraint because of Novice Battle Manual (7803) we only have 30 minutes to get to Lv200, the timer pause at most town but consumables and buff does not. Few useful Commands, @load - Warp you back to save point, @lw - Warp you back to last location of Warper, @go [map] example :- @go eden or @go main, @al - autoloot everything you kill.

You can also try crafting a Black Ribbon [1] (5899) doesn't need refine, click here on where to craft. 「↓↓ Beyond here is Completely Optional ↓↓」 1. The next upgrade is Hypocrisy Edge and Grace Armor set 「 Grace Breath Armor [1] Grace Attack Manteau [1] Grace Attack Boots [1] Grace Attack Ring [1] 」. They're just making it easier to farm Odin's Past. There are 2 ways to do this, by completing Quest. It start from New World Quest, then 17.1 Illusion Story Quest and up until steps 13 of 17.2 Sage of Legacy Quest for Map access to Varmundt's Mansion. Pros of doing Quest:- Understanding the Lore of Ragnarok (Episode 17.1), and the rewards are enough to buy entire Grace Set along with the Grace Refine Ticket. Con of doing Quest:- Time Consuming (May take an Hour to finish). 2nd way is to save up 6,000,000 Zeny and go (main_office 94, 57) look for NPC Temporal Tina and buy Episode 17.1 Clear Ticket (1000285) & Episode 17.2 Clear Ticket (1000287) . Use those Ticket by double clicking them, it completes all the Quest for episode 17.1 and 17.2 allowing you to have access to those map but receive no rewards. 2. Use Warper > Dungeon > Varmundt Dungeon > Tartaros Storage and enter the portal, hunt Heart Hunter Skirmisher (20682) for Hypocrisy Edge [2] (600008) . Keep those Cor Core (25723) , Unknown Parts (25669) , Varmeal Ticket (1000103) , Zelunium Ore (25730) & Shadowdecon Ore (25728) . You can use Safe to +9 Weapon Certificate (6228) on Hypocrisy Edge , it will instant refine +9 to your Weapon. Further info on getting the ticket click here. *You can fully unlock the potential of Hypocrisy Edge at refine +11 but would cost extra, and +9 is sufficient. Tip to +11 Refine WeaponLv4:-There are few way to get a WeaponLv4 to +11, one of it is getting from MVP in any Illusion Dungeon, Example Special Labyrinth Refinement Box (100424) from Baphomet of Chaos (20520) . This Special Labyrinth Refinement Box randomly refine a +4 Illusion Labyrinth Weapon to +9 ~ +12 then you convert them into Weapon Certificate. Another way is to get a Safe to +10 Weapon Certificate (6993) , pick any Illusion dungeon you are comfortable farming at and hunt Illusion Box. The Illusion Refinement Box only works with their respective Dungeon Illusion Weapon. For this example i will use Illusion Labyrinth, hunt Illusion Labyrinth Box (41088) and open it until you get x3 of any Weapon, then refine all 3 of them to +4 with Oridecon at @go 50 look for NPC Leona (Refiner). Then go back Illusion Labyrinth and hunt Labyrinth Refinement Box , keep hunting and use it on those +4 weapon you've refined and keep trying until you get all 3 of them to +10. Then Go (paramk 59, 97) look for NPC Red Hugo, click on exchange Hammer to buy x3 +10 Lv4 Weapon Refine Ticket Exchange Hammer (100386) . Then double click on the Hammer and select those +10 Weapon you've made and turn them all into Safe to +9 Weapon certificate . Last step talk to NPC Red Hugo and choose select Refine Tickets and exchange x3 Safe to +9 Weapon Certificate to x1 Safe to +10 Weapon Certificate . You can use your Weapon Certificate by talking to NPC Refine Master (prontera 188, 168). Then keep refine with HD Bradium (6226) from +10 until its +11 at @go 50 look for NPC Leona (Refiner). It may be cheaper than using Safe to +11 Weapon Certificate (6238) directly, please check the market price. It works the same way with ArmorLv1, but use Armor Certificate instead, and HD Carnium (6225) for refine pass +10. 3.

Progression Equipment

These Equipment will help you towards the end game and is budget conscious. It is targeted to farm at Niflheim Dungeon 2 as efficient as possible. With Almighty Food, Runestone and Agility + Blessing from the Healer, you can one shot monster from Niflheim Dungeon 02, please enjoy this short video.

• If Niflheim Dungeon 2 is too crowded, you can try farm at Clock Tower Unknown Basement. You can reach there by using Warper > Dungeon > Clock Tower and proceed to (c_tower1 243, 198), and click on the Giant Gear to enter.

For Progression (In my opinion), after getting to Dragon Knight with Wind Cutter Equipment, you can start making Progression Equipment for Dragonic Breath Build (Listed below ↓). After you get most of the Equipment from the List below and achieved Instant Cast. You can try +12 A your Dimensions Dragon Lance , after that try saving zeny and get a +11/+12 A Time Dimensions Rune Crown Dragon Knight (Without Enchant) for -0.15 CD for DcB, or ask some one with depth 2 reputation to help you craft a clean one, after that you should be focusing on getting Shadow Gear. Enchanting Dragon Lance and TDRC is a bit tricky as you need Depth 1 & 2 reputation, you can join public party at #lfg to build up your reputation or buy the Equipment with Full Enchant and may cost a lot. After +9/+10 Almighty Shadow Earring Almighty Shadow Pendant , try getting +10 Lord Bearer's Shadow Armor Lord Bearer's Shadow Shoes then follow by +7/+9 Master Shadow Weapon Master Shadow Shield (Just get the Stats Enchant Dex/Vit first, don't enchant the traits since might reset later depending on your cast point. And can try buying Any cheap Bio5 MVP Card that give +20 to All Stats. You should have a lot of Excess Cast Point ((Dex*2) + Int), now you can decide to slowly replace Progression Equipment to End Game Equipment. Shoe to +12 A Gaebolg Boots (Full Enchant) → +12 A Nebula Suit of Concentration (Full Enchant) → +11 A TDRC (Enchant Vit Jewel Lv3 & Adamantine Any LVL) → Stamina Signet of Star (Just Enchant x2 Master Archer Lv5) → +12 A Circulation of Life Summer (Don't need to Enchant first) → Signet of Circulation Summer (Just get the Token of Life Enchant) → Stamina Signet of Star (Enchant Star Cluster of Str Lv5) → Signet of Circulation Summer (Enchant Concentration Lv3) → Circulation of Life Summer (Fully Enchant 2nd Slot) → Circulation of Life Summer (Fully Enchant 3rd Slot) → Signet of Circulation Summer (Enchant Concentration Lv5) → Reform Gaebolg Boots to Yorscalp Boots. After that you can revisit the rest of the Enchant/Refine that is not fully upgraded, or even invest in some MVP Card (RK Seyren, TGK & Ghost Ship Captain), or change your Shadow Gear to Madness Breath Shadow Armor Madness Breath Shadow Shoes Bow Master Shadow Earring Bow Master Shadow Pendant , lastly visit Shadow Gear Enchanting for min/maxing. The reason i didn't suggest Equipment from Varmundt's Biosphere 「 」 is because if you are making it from scratch, the price for refining it to +12 A is about the same as making HoL Equipment 「 」 without Enchant (but please check market price before proceed). Click here for Varmundt's Manteau + Ring VS HoL Manteau + Ring comparison. Click here for the Price Breakdown for Varmundt's Manteau + Ring VS HoL Manteau + Ring.

Biosphere Depth 2 Monsters

There are a total of 10 types of monster in D2, consist of 6 Large sized and 4 Medium sized. All are unique Race, but some having the same Element. Please use this to plan which Element / Race you want to target and enchant your Time Dimensions Weapon accordingly. Click here for more info.

Deadly Skills that may 1 shot you:- Earthquake from Salamander, spam potions through it or kill it before it cast. WIS trait will help to reduce the damage. Sonic Blow from Salamander, it will cast this when in melee range. Kill it before it reaches you. Meteor Assault from Flame Ghost, it always cast this when near with Cloaking (Invisible) or Snap, if its uncloak kill him before he gets near. Use Magnum Break or detection ( Horong Card (4103) ) when its in Cloaking. Having High MaxHP and STA trait will help you survive or High Flee at 970 (95% dodge).

Skills that are very annoying:- Pneuma from Ancient Tree & Morroc Incarnation, they will cast it when you deal Physical Range damage when near them. Have to kill them further away. Example:- Using Charge attack (Range Physical Damage) on them will make them cast Pneuma instantly. Wide Curse from Morroc Incarnation, having total of 0 or 100 Luck stats will prevent curse. Deadly Curse from Flame Ghost, this only affects people who use Golden Thief Bug Card. This skill remove Magic Immune Effect from GTB. Fiber Lock from Duneyrr & Bio Ancient Tree, if you get Fiber Lock and Pneuma on you. Try to use charge attack on another monster to temporarily escape. Dispel from Morroc Incarnation, although it doesn't cast very frequently but still good to keep an eye on it. Death grasp (Pull towards monster) and Arrow Repel (Push away from monster) , these skill cause displacement. Usually only affects Melee Class.

Leveling Tips & EXP Gears

Notes:- There are many other Leveling route out there, but this is the one that i always use as it is quite straight forward and this route may not be newbie friendly. Try to wear some EXP Gear to speed up the Leveling process, but don't over wear them to the point that it affects your Damage. It is super important to finish the starting tutorial for Novice Battle Manual (7803) as it boost EXP gain from monster defeated and quest submission by 200% for 30 minutes. This Costume C. Beginner Cap (20307) is super useful for starting out your journey. Einbech 3 EXP gain from Eden Board yield higher EXP and Faster submission (160 kill count) compared to Abyss Lake 4 (240 kill count). In my opinion, if you are leeching Alts without Even Share EXP Party Setup, do Einbech 3. IF you are SOLO or Leveling Alts with Even Share EXP Party Setup, do Abyss Lake 4 (Monster at Abyss Lake 4 is about 43% more exp than monster in Einbech 3). Step-by-Step Guide:- After Tutorial, you should be able to change job [Swordman]. Go Eden and talk to Secretary Lime and Register yourself as a Member of Eden, you'll get Eden Group Mark (22508) . Go Payon Cave kill anything to get some skills and be aware not to level pass Lv40. Use Novice Battle Manual (7803) and go Orc dungeon and hit anything to at least Lv70 or able to change job [Knight]. Go Eden and talk to Eden board (Lv70-Lv99 Mission Board) and choose pick all. Then go Dungeon > Glast Heim(GH) > Monastery and kill x15 Wraith (1192) & x 15 Evil Druid (1435) keep doing the board quest until 99/50 then do once more but this time keep and don't submit the quest. After Rebirth you'll be at Lv1. Go Payon Cave kill anything then change job [High Swordman]. Submit Board quest (GH Monastery) that you kept before Rebirth to job 50 then change job [Lord Knight]. Repeat Eden board quest (GH Monastery) until job 70 and change job [Rune Knight]. Do Eden board quest (GH Monastery) once to Lv100+ and talk to Daily Hunts NPC Roxanne. Complete Illusion of Moonlight daily once (Kill count 100). Complete Illusion of Vampire daily once (Kill count 100). Complete Illusion of Twins daily once (Kill count 100), this should bring you past Lv180+. Go Eden and talk to Eden board (Lv130-Lv190 Mission Board) and choose pick all. Then go Einbech 3 dungeon (use Acolyte Skill Warp Portal to Einbech 3 if you have the memo, otherwise just walk from Einbech dungeon 1) finish the board quest once (160 kill count) and change job [Dragon Knight]. Then rinse repeat at Einbech 3 to Lv250 (Just focus on the 160 kill count and submit, the different kill count quest from Daily Hunts NPC (Example:- kill x10 Abyssman (20603) is just bonus). Or you can go over to Abyss Lake 4 depending on your Party EXP Setup. Don't forget to use Fire Elemental Converter (12114) for ghost type monster in Einbech 3 and Abyss Lake 4. Lv250-275 go Depth 1 or Depth 2 depending on your gears.

All the EXP Bonus from EXP Gear are from Defeating monster, it doesn't boost EXP gain from Board Quest / Daily Quest submission. However, it does provide Bonus EXP from an Even Shared EXP Party Setup even though you are not the one who defeat the monster. Super awesome for Leeching :3

• EXP Gears are great investment if you are planning to create more Alts.
• By wearing ALL the EXP Gears, potentially you'll get 105% EXP Bonus for any defeated monster.

Advance Leveling Guide

Best time to level a character is during EXP Event, with proper preparation it is possible to get from Lv1 to Lv275 in under 1 Hour. Click here to watch the Video. Before we start, there are few things to cover :- The main EXP gain is from EXP Event and Battle Manual Books (Bonus EXP on defeating monster, Quest & Daily submission). This is optional but with Dancer/Bard Skill Mr. Kim A Rich Man (a buff that give 60% Bonus EXP from defeating monster). Further info on EXP Event can visit here. If you don't mind using Alts for Buffing, Cardinal and Trouvere/Troubadour are both super good. In order to use Mr. Kim A Rich Man, you'll need a partner Dancer/Bard but you can bypass this condition and perform solo with Trouvere skill Sonata of Kvasir. Further info can visit here. The Leveling route that i used in the video is the same as the one i posted above. I transition from Lv120 Rune Knight Wind Cutter Build (Equipment Listed Below) to Lv250 Dragon Knight Dragonic Breath Build (change Equipment to this set), but Shadow Gear remained the same as below. Rune Knight Wind Cutter Skill have some requirement to achieve but its easier to achieve compared to Ignition Break Skill and Dragon Breath Skill. Since Wind Cutter Skill ignore monster Def and have 0 Cast Time, you'll just have to get minimum 185 ASPD and 40% ACD for max Spam.

Consumables that i used are listed below. Equipment are entirely Optional and dependent on your budget.

Runestone Crafting Chance	Runestone Crafting Chance Note:- The Table above is base on this formula:- [Base Success Rate + ((DEX ÷ 30) + LUK ÷ 10) + (JobLv ÷ 10)) + Crafting Stone Bonus - Rune Difficulty]%. It was computed by using the lowest quality crafting stone General Rough Runestone (12737) (+4% success chance) and crafting the hardest Runestone (-20% success chance) with just base stats 130 Dex & Luk without Stats from Equipment, Buff or Food and at Lv60 Job Level and Lv10 Rune Mastery, you'll get a 97% success chance. So it's safe to use any other crafting stone that is better than General Rough Runestone (12737) to get pass 100% success chance, or you could also wear some Luk Equipment to make a total of 157 Luk to get 100% success chance. Please use Mystic Rough Runestone (12736) to craft Lux Anima Runestone (22540) to get the minimum 2~6 quantity per craft, because Gold (969) is expensive, and the other crafting stones will have chance to get minimum 1~6 quantity per craft. The rest of the runestone can use any crafting stone depending your budget. [Back to Runestone Crafting Table] [Top]
