{{#item:490052}} and {{#item:490053}} will still be useful to have while working on Phase 5 due to its race modifiers against dragon which will be very strong against Betelgeuse and Jabberwocky.

<big>~~Gaebolg and Yorscalp Gear~~</big>

<big>Crimson Arrow Build</big>

[[~~21_Age_of_Heroes~~#~~Equipment~~|~~Gaebolg and Yorscalp Gear~~]] are both powerful gears that will provide an increase in damage from Phase 4 (especially Yorscalp). However, due to the high cost of resources, high reputation costs, and the difficult mvps/instances needed to create and enchant these gears, I do not currently recommend them as an intermediate step between Phases 4 and 5. Instead, I recommend that you go directly to Phase 5.

At this point, moving into Stage 5, it may be worthwhile considering whether you want to use the SVS build or the [[Choi's_SVS_Arch_Mage_Guide#Crimson_Arrow_Build|Crimson Arrow Build]].

=== Phase Five ===

Line 227:

I recommend sticking with Dim/Vesper over TDRC/Time Gap, as the investment might not be worthwhile since Yorscalp/Wepawet will be better for two handed builds. However, if you think you need the upgrade ahead of Phase Six, go for it!

{{#item:400724}} is much stronger than {{#item:400111}} with the proc on {{#item:313427}}. Otherwise, {{#item:400111}} is stronger.

Dependent on market prices of material and parties, you may be able to skip {{#item:480233}} and work on {{#item:480351}} and {{#item:490485}}.

{{#item:400724}} is much stronger than {{#item:400111}} with the proc on {{#item:313427}}. Otherwise, {{#item:400111}} is stronger.

For the enchants on {{#item:400724}}, the level 4 enchants are very difficult to get, so most players settle for the level 3 enchant. Don't let me stop you though!

== Crimson Arrow Build ==

{{#skill:5235}} Build is a very powerful build that provides both great damage and supportive abilities, and it thrives in party settings with multiple DPS. This build is especially useful for difficult bosses like {{#linkmob:20994}} and {{#linkmob:22174}}. With Comet and All Bloom, you can increase the overall output of your party's damage by a significant amount, especially if they are using fire element. However, I don't recommend this build for general farming due to Crimson Arrow's small AOE and its reliance on {{#item:640049}} limiting the use of shields. Generally, most concepts from the SVS build will carry over in this build. However, here are some additional details to help you with the build:
