=First steps up to Genetic=


Lets start to built up your newly created character. When you created you new character you start at the beginners quest. DO THAT QUEST - while doing that quest, you change your job already to merchant. You will get the {{#item:20307}} - use that because it gives you a good amount of bonus until level 100. At the Eden Group you will get starting gear. You can get your first weapon and armor set from Lothaire in Eden(I mostly take the {{#item:590025}}). Also get the Paradise Shadow gear for free from Lucy.

The Shadow Gear also gives you the ability to use {{#skill:28}}. You can use it as a cheaper alternative for potions.


Do '''NOT''' use the {{#item:7803}} now! We keep it up for after rebirth to get a sprint in leveling.

* You can kill the monsters in the instance by auto attacks(make sure you enable it with <code>/nc</code>) or you use {{#skill:153}}. If you use {{#skill:153}}, first go back to the Main Office(<code>@go 15</code> and get a Pushcart from the Universal Rental NPC. Make sure you skilled {{#skill:39}} and put some heave things into your Pushcart(ideal are {{#item:984}} or {{#item:985}}) because the weight scales your damage. No matter which way you got, always have {{#skill:155}} on, which increases you STR and ATK. By completing [[Poring Village]] you get a reward - take the {{#item:19238}} and put it on.

* You are now Base Level 99 and Job Level 70 and can do the job change to Genetic
* Now just kill one Poring and you are Base Level 103.
 
=Next: Way to Biolo=
 
From the moment on you are a Genetic and over Base Level 100 you can get new gear from Eden. In the room you got your first gear talk to Labraham. He will give you a special offer to trade in some items into {{#item:590028}}. Bring him the items and get your new weapon.
 
Next Talk to Louis. In exchange for some items you take the physical set to get a nice complete set of advanced Eden gear.
 
You can turn off the {{#item:20307}} as it gives no bonus anymore. Your gear should now look like this:
 
{| class="wikitable" style="font-size:smaller;background:transparent;"
|- style="font-size:small;"
| {{#item:400139}}
| rowspan=5 | [[File:gene-start.png|70px|center]]

|}
 
==Stats as Genetic==
 
In the next chapter you will gain much stat points. To have the stats in the right place, you should continuously allocate them. While allocating the stats your priority should be STR, DEX, INT. Have in mind that {{#skill:2477}} damage scales with INT.
 
After becoming Base Level 200, your stats should look roughly like this, if you got some stats points spare, put them in AGI:
 
{| class="wikitable" style="font-size:smaller;background:transparent;"
|- style="font-size:small;"
! Stat
! Value
|-
| STR
| 120
|-
| AGI
| 1
|-
| VIT
| 70
|-
| INT
| 120
|-
| DEX
| 130
|-
| LUK
| 1
|}
 
==Leveling starts again==
 
* Join the "Arc Wand Clan" in Main Office {{#navi:main_office|114|314}} - it gives you some extra stats for free
* Accept the Quests from the Eden Board 100-110
* Do the Quest: "Hunt 30x Hill Wind" - Your killing skill is still {{#skill:153}} - we will change that after this step.
* Turn the Quest in. You now can skill {{#skill:2475}}, {{#skill:387}} and {{#skill:2477}} on max level.
* Hold {{#skill:387}} always active - it gives you a decent speed improve.
* Buy some {{#item:18004}} from the Merchant Dealer in the Main Office and equip them
* Now do the following quests, first time using {{#skill:2477}}:
** 100-110: "20 x Axe/Hammer/Mace Kobolds"
** 100-110: "30 x Drosera, 30 x Muscipular"
** 100-110: "20 x Orange & Green Venatu each"
** 100-110: "20 x Red & Blue Venatu each"
** 100-110: "10 x Blue & Orange Dimik each"
** 100-110: "10 x Green & Red Dimik each"
** 120-140: "30 x Green & Red Ferus each"
** 120-140: "30 x Gold & Blue Acidus each"
** 120-140: "1 x Hydrolancer"
** 120-140: "20 x Skogul"
** 120-140: "20 x Frus"
** 120-140: "5 x Blue and Brown Skeggiold each"
** 120-140: "5 x Incubus & Succubus each"
 
You now should have 20 {{#item:25223}}. Get the Advanced Eden Shadow Set from Lucy in Eden. You can rent it for 72 Hours for the 20 {{#item:25223}} you have. The Shadow Gear will give you a large Bonus.
 
Your Shadow gear should look like this:

We now changing the boards. Go to the Main Office and accept all quests from the Daily Hunts Board {{#navi:main_office|123|36}}.
You now got 3 Quests:
 
* Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Moonlight
* Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Frozen
* Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Vampire
 
After turning in you should be around Base Level 141. Back to Eden, do the Quests from the Board:
 
* Kill 120 Monsters in lasa_dun03
* Kill 120 Monsters in rockmi1
* Kill 30 x Cenere & Antique Book
* Kill 60 Monsters in ecl_fild01
 
You now should be Base Level 150. The Daily Hunts Board {{#navi:main_office|123|36}} has two new Illusion Quests now:
 
(From here on it is extremely helpful to have already the Homunculus Dieter to tank the monsters!!)
 
* Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Teddy Bear
* Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Abyss
 
Back to Eden, do these quests:
 
* Kill: 30 x Nightmare Wanderer Man
* Kill: 40 x Big Ben & Neo Punk
* Kill: 50 x Recon Robot
 
As you might expect, now again to the Main Office Daily Boards and do:
 
* Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Luanda
* Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Twins
 
If you followed so far you should be now Base Level 170. You are now able to wear the most gear which is described in the chapter: Mid Game Gear. To further get a good progress you should now do the following episode quests to gain access to the next leveling spots: [[17.1 Illusion]]. As you are already in the episode quests, do the [[17.2 Sage Legacy]] quest directly afterwards. Questing should be a good break from all that leveling ;-)
 
==Become Biolo==
 
Lets start the last step before changing the job to Biolo. From the [[17.1 Illusion]] you've gotten access to Rudus. That's where we start the next leveling round. To be well equipped you now can get the grace set - its described in the Mid Game Gear Chapter.
 
* If you haven't done yet, accept all quests at the 130-190 Eden Quest Board and do:
** "Hunt 50x Big Bell in Nightmare Clock Tower"
** "Kill 80 Monsters in sp_rudus2"
** "Kill 160 Monsters in sp_rudus3"
* Do the Daily Board Quests
** "Hunt 160x Monsters in ba_2whs01"
** "Hunt 160x Monsters in ba_2whs02"
** "Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Underwater F2" (you need here : {{#item:18006}})
* This gets kinda hard, but it's worth... Take the quests:
** "Kill 160 Monsters in mag_dun03" from Eden Board
** You also get 4 quests for mag_dun03 from Daily Hunts Board in Main Office
:: (Walk slowly, let you Homunculus tank and for support use {{#item:100232}} to increase your damage) Don't worry if you die, once you accessed Magma Dungeon 3, a direct warp is activated in the warper.
* Now another double quest. Take this quests(you need here : {{#item:18001}})
** "Kill 160 Monsters in ein_dun03" from Eden Board
** You also get 4 quests for Einbech 3 from Daily Hunts Board in Main Office
* Do the Daily Board Quest(you need here : {{#item:18002}}):
** 30x Angelgolt(Blue) & 40x Angelgolt(Pink)
** 30x Holy Frus & Skogul
* Now we do a little jump. Read carefully first an do the steps as described:
:# Again take all new quests from Eden and Daily Boards
:# Do the Quests: 240x Monsters in Abyss_04 from the eden Board(includes completion of 20x Purple Ferus, 10x Treasure Mimic, 20x Black and Silver Acidus, 30x Bone Fetus & Acidus from the daily hunts board) - (you need here : {{#item:18001}}) but '''DONT TURN THE QUESTS IN!'''
:# From your acquired {{#item:25223}} buy a {{#item:12208}} from the Eden Machine {{#navi:moc_para01|51|30}}
:# Use the {{#item:12208}} now. You got now 60 Minutes extreme leveling!
:# In odin_past kill as much monsters as you can, but at least 240 Monsters in your 60 Minute {{#item:12208}} time. You need here many {{#item:18002}} so be prepared.
:# '''Before!''' the 60 Minute end and the {{#item:12208}} expires go to eden and main office and turn all quests in. You can always control the remaining time in the status icon with EXP in it. On mouseover it shows you the exact remaining time.
* Now you should be Base Level 200 and you can do the job change to Biolo. Your Job Level should turned long time ago to Level 70 ;-)
 
When something went wrong and you didn't keep up with the steps in the guide, simply take one or the other board quest to get back on track.
 
==Leveling as Biolo==
 
Leveling as Biolo is easy until level 230. After level 230 leveling takes more time. But as you got access to the most gear or content just keep it cool.
 
From Level 200 on keep doing the boards in Eden and Main Office. More Quests will become available in the later levels. When you start a fresh day and you got a {{#item:12208}} or even better a {{#item:12411}} bought from from {{#item:50000}} in Main Office I suggest following procedure:
 
# Take all available quests (including instances from Main Office Instance Board)
# Do them but don't turn them in
# After completion activate the {{#item:12208}} or {{#item:12411}}
# Turn all quests in together
 
Outside of the boards, good leveling spots are:
 
{| class="wikitable" style="font-size:smaller;background:transparent;"
|- style="font-size:small;"
! Access with Level
! Area
|-
| 200
| [[Odin]]<br> [[Rudus|Rudus Floor 4]]<br>[[Niflheim|Niflheim Dungeon Floor 1]]
|-

|-
| 230
| [[Amicitia|Amicitia Floor 2]]
|-
| 240
| [[Niflheim|Niflheim Dungeon Floor 2]]
|}
 
==Stats for Biolo==
 
Biolo is a 4th class job - all 4th class jobs get new stats called: ''Trait Status''. You can allocate them in the fold out menu under you regular stats. You should invest in just 2 stats - POW maxed out and rest into CON. When you are Level 250 this looks like this:
 
{| class="wikitable" style="font-size:smaller;background:transparent;"
|- style="font-size:small;"

===Spam Cart Cannon===
Under certain circumstances you are able to spam {{#skill:2477}} like a machine gun. This requires to have {{#skill:5344}} out and a very precise balancing of various factors:
 
====Instant Cast====
 
To reach that you skills have no more variable cast time its possible to do it by gear. But the best way is to achieve it through skill points. For help take this formula:
 
<code>DEX × 2 + INT >= 530</code>
 
You can check you current reduction with the command <code>@bs</code>. If you reached the goal of instant cast it should look like this:
 
[[File:InstantCast.png]]
 
====After Cast Delay(ACD)====
 
Cart Cannon has a After Cast Delay of 0.5s. I'll skip all the math behind it and make it simple: you have to have 72% After Cast Delay reduction. To achieve this you have to reach 42% from your gear. Look at my my gear suggestion: here you will find more than enough possibilities. The remaining 30% you can get also from gear(but that's the more complicated option). The easiest option is to have a befriended Bard who gives you Level 10 {{#skill:321}} which reduces After Cast Delay by 30%.
 
You can check your current After Cast Delay with <code>@bs</code> and it should look like this(I know: in the screenshot its 2% too much...):
 
[[File:ACD74.png]]
 
====Attack Speed (ASPD)====
 
You need 193 ASPD, which is achieved by putting stat points into AGI. As you need the most stat points for other stats you can use gear which gives you ASPD or use consumables like:
 
* {{#item:657}} (bought from tool dealer)
* {{#item:12437}} ([[Creations from special jobclasses|you can produce them by your own]])
 
You can check your current ASPD directly in the status window:

=Gear=
 
==Starting Gear==
 
It is not worth to use anything else to get started than the Eden gear.
 
==Mid Game Gear==
 
===Early Mid Game===
After laying down your Eden Gear you can very cheap get another great set. It bridges the time until you have better gear.
The set is called Grace Set and is available from Sentinel {{#navi:sp_cor|115|129}} for 20 {{#item:25669}} each, which you gotten in the leveling session in Rudus. You can easily refine the Armor, Manteau and the Boots to +9 with the {{#item:100130}}, which you can buy from the same NPC for 20 {{#item:25723}} each(also from Rudus). You can enchant it if you like(not necessary), for more information see this article: [[Grace Set]].
 
In addition to the grace set you can wear: {{#item:400001}} and {{#item:420030}} which should be easy available for you on the market from other players.

===Late Mid Game===
Late Mid Game gear is gear which will cost you some time(and of course Zeny). From here on until End Game Gear its always a transition of switching some pieces until you get later the "Best in Slot" gear. Give yourself a plan how you will progress because wrong decisions will cost more time and Zeny.
From now on [[Refinement|refining]] comes as a blast in your life. I suggest here the affordable refining levels - if you are lucky you can refine to a much higher level ;-)

'''Shadow Gear:''' You can stay long time with the Advanced Eden Shadow Gear. I suggest a transition directly from there to End Game shadow gear.
 
==End Game Gear==
Now it gets freaky ;-) End game gear is always expensive and should not be your first target if you just startet. It can take weeks or even months to get it to a more or less acaptable stage. So don't be afraid if it don't comes together quickly.
 
In End Game gear Level 5 weapons and Level 2 armors are entering the stage. New to them is that they can get [[Grade Enhancing|Grades]], which makes it much more complicated to max them out, but it will really be worth it.
 
I keep it here realistic with refine levels - if you want you always can go further. Also MVP Cards are not considered because they have such rare drop rates.

==Costume Enchants==
It is possible to enchant costumes and these enchants give Cart Cannon a pretty neat boost. For more information, see: [[Costume Enchants (Fashion Points)]]. I list here the optimal combination of Costume Enchants for our Cart Cannon Built:

Feel free to choose yourself in the lower headgear what you like. I chose the Teleport Stone to save the slot normally occupied by the creamy card.
 
==Biolo Skill Builds (Under Construction)==
 
These are at the moment theoretical builds who are under construction. Feedback is always appreciated.
 
===Mayhemic Thorns===
 
{{#skill:6006}} is a mighty Biolo skill which is able to do critical hits. Try to keep {{#skill:5348}} and {{#skill:5347}} up because it gives you a huge damage increase.
 
The following stats are a suggestion for the mentioned gear. You should focus to get 130 CRIT in you stats. That's why I don't focus on LUK in stats because the gear already gives so much. You'll maybe switch something forth and back... Keep in mind to get somehow instant cast:

==Pet==
 
The most used pet is the Incubus. It gives you nice SP Leech and you will never have worries about empty SP.
To get the Incubus Pet, you can go to Geffenia and tame an Incubus by using {{#item:12370}} on it to get the {{#item:9052}} or just buy the egg on the market(from other players). You will need a {{#item:643}} to call the pet. Incubus consumes {{#item:6110}} which can be bought in the main office {{#navi:main_office|101|33}}. Don't forget to enable Autofeed in the pet menu. If you don't like to see pets around, you can easily activate the command <code>@hidepet</code> or activate it in the Login Settings in the main office.
 
If you are interested in pets check the article: [[Pet System]]
 
==Homunculus==
 
Homunculus are often dubbed as rocket science, but they give you a lot of power. In the end, it's not hard to grow a decent Homunculus.
With a few steps you get the Homunculus which I recommend as the daily driver. If you want to get deeper knowledge about Homunculus, see this article: [[Homunculus]]. You should start to get your Homunculus right after you become Creator.
 
# Make sure you have skilled: {{#skill:238}}, {{#skill:244}}, {{#skill:243}} and {{#skill:247}}
# Get an {{#item:7142}}, you can buy them from other players on the market or create it. To create it see this article: [[Creations from special jobclasses]]
# Use {{#skill:243}} and you new Homunculus appears. You want to have a Amistr, which appears in this two forms: [[File:Amistr.gif]] or [[File:Amistr2.gif]]<p>If you don't get Amistr just simply open Homunculus status window by '''Alt+R''' , click '''Delete''' and try it again.</p>
# Get Amistr Loyal! You now can use 90 x {{#item:100371}} or simply feed it and let it drag along.
# Use a {{#item:12040}}. You now have an evolved Amistr which looks like this: [[File:Amistr-e1.gif]] or this: [[File:Amistr-e2.gif]]
# Get some {{#item:912}} from the Petfood NPC in main office {{#navi:main_office|101|33}}, open Homunculus status window by '''Alt+R''' and enable Autofeeding.
# Level Homunculus up to Level 99
# When your Job is Genetic talk to Viorel at {{#navi:job3_gen01|12|44}} in Lighthalzen and pay him 50.000 Zeny to transform your Homunculus into Dieter: [[File:DieterMoving.gif]]
# The most valuable skills you get from Dieter are {{#skill:8042}} at Level 131 and {{#skill:8045}} at Level 230
 
==Wooden Warrior and Hell Tree==
 
From the moment you change your job to Biolo you can get additional very strong summons. You should use them only if you need the additional damage because they consume {{#item:1000281}}.
 
* With the Skill {{#skill:5344}} you summon the Wooden Warrior. It increases your Cart Cannon damage a lot.
* With the Skill {{#skill:5348}} you summon the Hell Tree, which buffs you and gives additional damage.
 
For the creation of {{#item:1000281}} see this page: [[Creations from special jobclasses]] or buy them from other players.

Introduction

From zero to hero: This guide should give you a good starting point to build your Cart Cannon Biolo from scratch. This guide is under constant development and please always keep in mind that there are many different ways to build a strong character and this guide is based on my experiences only.

The guide should be for the first steps similar for other classes too. Feel free to adopt it for your other chars. If you got any questions, you might see me around MuhRO or Discord: Just ask!

First steps up to Genetic

Lets start to built up your newly created character. When you created you new character you start at the beginners quest. DO THAT QUEST - while doing that quest, you change your job already to merchant. You will get the 20307.png Costume Beginner Cap (20307) - use that because it gives you a good amount of bonus until level 100. At the Eden Group you will get starting gear. You can get your first weapon and armor set from Lothaire in Eden(I mostly take the 590025.png Paradise Mace (590025) ). Also get the Paradise Shadow gear for free from Lucy.

You are now geared for a good start. Your Equip should now look like this:

400137.png Paradise Cap (400137)
-Empty-
-Empty- 450183.png Paradise Suit (450183)
590025.png Paradise Mace (590025) -Empty-
480103.png Paradise Manteau (480103) 470067.png Paradise Boots (470067)
490123.png Paradise Gloves (490123) 490122.png Paradise Ring (490122)

Your shadow gear should look like this:

-Empty-
-Empty-
20307.png Costume Beginner Cap (20307) 24689.png Paradise Shadow Armor (24689)
24687.png Paradise Shadow Weapon (24687) 24688.png Paradise Shadow Shield (24688)
-Empty- 24690.png Paradise Shadow Shoes (24690)
24691.png Paradise Shadow Earring (24691) 24692.png Paradise Shadow Pendant (24692)

The Shadow Gear also gives you the ability to use 28.png Heal. You can use it as a cheaper alternative for potions.

Do NOT use the 7803.png Novice Battle Manual (7803) now! We keep it up for after rebirth to get a sprint in leveling.

  • After you got your starting gear, Lunos will ask you if you ready for the beginners instance Poring Village: Do this...
  • If you haven't assigned your status point yet, put it 2/3 into STR and 1/3 into AGI. Continue assigning status points while you are in the instance.
  • You can kill the monsters in the instance by auto attacks(make sure you enable it with /nc) or you use 153.png Cart Revolution. If you want to use 153.png Cart Revolution, first kill some porings to get enough skill points to skill 39.png Pushcart on max level. Then go back to the Main Office @go 15 and get a Pushcart from the Universal Rental NPC (main_office 80, 59). Buy 8000 x 712.png Flower (712) from Flower Girl in Prontera (prontera 58, 182) (with 37.png Discount at Level 10 they only cost you 1 Zeny) and put them into your Pushcart because the weight scales your damage. No matter which way you go, always have 155.png Crazy Uproar on, which increases you STR and ATK. By completing Poring Village you get a reward - take the 19238.png Poring Village Leek (19238) and put it on.
  • Now you should be Base Level 53 and Job Level 38. Go to eden @go 16 and pick the board quest(40-69) and kill 20x Orc Skeleton & 20 Orc Zombie. Return to Eden and click the board to get the EXP Reward. You now should be Base Level 67 and Job Level 50. Go to the Main Office @go 15, assign all your Skill Points and change your Job into Alchemist.
  • You now can get new weapon from Eden! Go to Labraham and get 500034.png Paradise Alchemist Sword (500034) . From now on you should use 153.png Cart Revolution as described above.
  • Continue with these Eden board quests in this order(because they are given from your level):
    • 40-69: Hunt "15x Marduk & 15x Pasana and gather 10x 25073.png Old Papyrus (25073) "
    • 70-99: Hunt "15x Wraith & 15x Evil Druid"
    • 70-99: Hunt "20x Stem Worm"
    • 70-99: Hunt "20x Reffelsia"
    • 70-99: Hunt "20x Pitman"
    • 70-99: Hunt "20x Waste Stove"
    • 70-99: Hunt "30x Siroma"
    • 70-99: Hunt "30x Roween"
    • 70-99: Hunt "30x Stapo"
    • 70-99: Hunt "20x Shinobi"
    • 70-99: Hunt "10x Dark Priest, 1x Furious Dark Priest"
  • Now you should be Base Level 99 and Job Level 50. Do NOT rebirth now!
  • Do the Quest Cautious Village until step 8. Do NOT continue with step 9!!
  • Now do the rebirth at the Job Master
  • Kill 2 Porings to become Job Level 10 and do the jobchange to High Merchant
  • Now use the 7803.png Novice Battle Manual (7803)
  • Continue with step 9 of Cautious Village, you are now Base Level 88 and Job Level 50.
  • Job Change to Creator (you can now put on your Eden gear on again), don't forget to assign your skill points.
    • Sidenote: You can now start building your Homunculus(see Chapter: Get your entourage)
  • Continue with these Eden board quests:
    • 70-99: Hunt "20x Live Peach Tree"
    • 70-99: Hunt "20x Evil Cloud Hermit"
    • 70-99: Hunt "20x Wicked Nymph"
    • 70-99: Hunt "10x Spring Rabbit, 10x Dragon Tail"
    • 70-99: Hunt "10x Freezer, 10x Heater"
    • 70-99: Hunt "10x Soldier, 10x Permeter"
    • 70-99: Hunt "10x Assaulter"
    • 70-99: Hunt "20x Breeze"
    • 70-99: Hunt "10x Rybio"
    • 70-99: Hunt "20x Injustice"
    • 70-99: Hunt "10x Zombie Prisoner, 10x Skeleton Prisoner"
    • 70-99: Hunt "15x Teddy Bear"
    • 70-99: Hunt "20x Venomous"
    • 70-99: Hunt "20x Li Me Mang Ryang(Jing Guai) 20x Hyegun(Yao Jun)"
  • You are now Base Level 99 and Job Level 70 and can do the job change to Genetic
  • Now just kill one Poring and you are Base Level 103.

Next: Way to Biolo

From the moment on you are a Genetic and over Base Level 100 you can get new gear from Eden. In the room you got your first gear talk to Labraham. He will give you a special offer to trade in some items into 590028.png Paradise Genetic Mace (590028) . Bring him the items and get your new weapon.

Next Talk to Louis. In exchange for some items you take the physical set to get a nice complete set of advanced Eden gear.

You can turn off the 20307.png Costume Beginner Cap (20307) as it gives no bonus anymore. Your gear should now look like this:

400139.png Advanced Paradise Cap (400139)
-Empty-
-Empty- 450185.png Advanced Paradise Suit (450185)
590028.png Paradise Genetic Mace (590028) -Empty-
480105.png Advanced Paradise Manteau (480105) 470069.png Advanced Paradise Boots (470069)
490127.png Advanced Paradise Gloves (490127) 490126.png Advanced Paradise Ring (490126)

Stats as Genetic

In the next chapter you will gain much stat points. To have the stats in the right place, you should continuously allocate them. While allocating the stats your priority should be STR, DEX, INT. Have in mind that 2477.png Cart Cannon damage scales with INT.

After becoming Base Level 200, your stats should look roughly like this, if you got some stats points spare, put them in AGI:

Stat Value
STR 120
AGI 1
VIT 70
INT 120
DEX 130
LUK 1

Leveling starts again

  • Join the "Arc Wand Clan" in Main Office (main_office 114, 314) - it gives you some extra stats for free
  • Accept the Quests from the Eden Board 100-110
  • Do the Quest: "Hunt 30x Hill Wind" - Your killing skill is still 153.png Cart Revolution - we will change that after this step.
  • Turn the Quest in. You now can skill 2475.png Cart Remodeling, 387.png Cart Boost and 2477.png Cart Cannon on max level.
  • Hold 387.png Cart Boost always active - it gives you a decent speed improve.
  • Buy some 18004.png Iron Cannon Ball (18004) from the Merchant Dealer in the Main Office and equip them
  • Now do the following quests, first time using 2477.png Cart Cannon:
    • 100-110: "20 x Axe/Hammer/Mace Kobolds"
    • 100-110: "30 x Drosera, 30 x Muscipular"
    • 100-110: "20 x Orange & Green Venatu each"
    • 100-110: "20 x Red & Blue Venatu each"
    • 100-110: "10 x Blue & Orange Dimik each"
    • 100-110: "10 x Green & Red Dimik each"
    • 120-140: "30 x Green & Red Ferus each"
    • 120-140: "30 x Gold & Blue Acidus each"
    • 120-140: "1 x Hydrolancer"
    • 120-140: "20 x Skogul"
    • 120-140: "20 x Frus"
    • 120-140: "5 x Blue and Brown Skeggiold each"
    • 120-140: "5 x Incubus & Succubus each"

You now should have 20 25223.png Eden Coin (25223) . Get the Advanced Eden Shadow Set from Lucy in Eden. You can rent it for 72 Hours for the 20 25223.png Eden Coin (25223) you have. The Shadow Gear will give you a large Bonus.

Your Shadow gear should look like this:

-Empty-
-Empty-
-Empty- 24694.png Advanced Paradise Shadow Armor (24694)
24701.png Genetic Advanced Paradise Shadow Weapon (24701) 24693.png Advanced Paradise Shadow Shield (24693)
-Empty- 24695.png Advanced Paradise Shadow Shoes (24695)
24696.png Advanced Paradise Shadow Earring (24696) 24697.png Advanced Paradise Shadow Pendant (24697)

We now changing the boards. Go to the Main Office and accept all quests from the Daily Hunts Board (main_office 123, 36). You now got 3 Quests:

  • Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Moonlight
  • Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Frozen
  • Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Vampire

After turning in you should be around Base Level 141. Back to Eden, do the Quests from the Board:

  • Kill 120 Monsters in lasa_dun03
  • Kill 120 Monsters in rockmi1
  • Kill 30 x Cenere & Antique Book
  • Kill 60 Monsters in ecl_fild01

You now should be Base Level 150. The Daily Hunts Board (main_office 123, 36) has two new Illusion Quests now:

(From here on it is extremely helpful to have already the Homunculus Dieter to tank the monsters!!)

  • Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Teddy Bear
  • Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Abyss

Back to Eden, do these quests:

  • Kill: 30 x Nightmare Wanderer Man
  • Kill: 40 x Big Ben & Neo Punk
  • Kill: 50 x Recon Robot

As you might expect, now again to the Main Office Daily Boards and do:

  • Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Luanda
  • Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Twins

If you followed so far you should be now Base Level 170. You are now able to wear the most gear which is described in the chapter: Mid Game Gear. To further get a good progress you should now do the following episode quests to gain access to the next leveling spots: 17.1 Illusion. As you are already in the episode quests, do the 17.2 Sage Legacy quest directly afterwards. Questing should be a good break from all that leveling ;-)

Become Biolo

Lets start the last step before changing the job to Biolo. From the 17.1 Illusion you've gotten access to Rudus. That's where we start the next leveling round. To be well equipped you now can get the grace set - its described in the Mid Game Gear Chapter.

  • If you haven't done yet, accept all quests at the 130-190 Eden Quest Board and do:
    • "Hunt 50x Big Bell in Nightmare Clock Tower"
    • "Kill 80 Monsters in sp_rudus2"
    • "Kill 160 Monsters in sp_rudus3"
  • Do the Daily Board Quests
    • "Hunt 160x Monsters in ba_2whs01"
    • "Hunt 160x Monsters in ba_2whs02"
    • "Kill 100 Monsters in Illusion of Underwater F2" (you need here : 18006.png Lightning Cannon Ball (18006) )
  • This gets kinda hard, but it's worth... Take the quests:
    • "Kill 160 Monsters in mag_dun03" from Eden Board
    • You also get 4 quests for mag_dun03 from Daily Hunts Board in Main Office
(Walk slowly, let you Homunculus tank and for support use 100232.png Red Herb Activator (100232) to increase your damage) Don't worry if you die, once you accessed Magma Dungeon 3, a direct warp is activated in the warper.
  • Now another double quest. Take this quests(you need here : 18001.png Holy Cannon Ball (18001) )
    • "Kill 160 Monsters in ein_dun03" from Eden Board
    • You also get 4 quests for Einbech 3 from Daily Hunts Board in Main Office
  • Do the Daily Board Quest(you need here : 18002.png Dark Cannon Ball (18002) ):
    • 30x Angelgolt(Blue) & 40x Angelgolt(Pink)
    • 30x Holy Frus & Skogul
  • Now we do a little jump. Read carefully first an do the steps as described:
  1. Again take all new quests from Eden and Daily Boards
  2. Do the Quests: 240x Monsters in Abyss_04 from the eden Board(includes completion of 20x Purple Ferus, 10x Treasure Mimic, 20x Black and Silver Acidus, 30x Bone Fetus & Acidus from the daily hunts board) - (you need here : 18001.png Holy Cannon Ball (18001) ) but DONT TURN THE QUESTS IN!
  3. From your acquired 25223.png Eden Coin (25223) buy a 12208.png Battle Manual (12208) from the Eden Machine (moc_para01 51, 30)
  4. Use the 12208.png Battle Manual (12208) now. You got now 60 Minutes extreme leveling!
  5. In odin_past kill as much monsters as you can, but at least 240 Monsters in your 60 Minute 12208.png Battle Manual (12208) time. You need here many 18002.png Dark Cannon Ball (18002) so be prepared.
  6. Before! the 60 Minute end and the 12208.png Battle Manual (12208) expires go to eden and main office and turn all quests in. You can always control the remaining time in the status icon with EXP in it. On mouseover it shows you the exact remaining time.
  • Now you should be Base Level 200 and you can do the job change to Biolo. Your Job Level should turned long time ago to Level 70 ;-)

When something went wrong and you didn't keep up with the steps in the guide, simply take one or the other board quest to get back on track.

Leveling as Biolo

Leveling as Biolo is easy until level 230. After level 230 leveling takes more time. But as you got access to the most gear or content just keep it cool.

From Level 200 on keep doing the boards in Eden and Main Office. More Quests will become available in the later levels. When you start a fresh day and you got a 12208.png Battle Manual (12208) or even better a 12411.png HE Battle Manual (12411) bought from from 50000.png Muh Coin (50000) in Main Office I suggest following procedure:

  1. Take all available quests (including instances from Main Office Instance Board)
  2. Do them but don't turn them in
  3. After completion activate the 12208.png Battle Manual (12208) or 12411.png HE Battle Manual (12411)
  4. Turn all quests in together

Outside of the boards, good leveling spots are:

Access with Level Area
200 Odin
Rudus Floor 4
Niflheim Dungeon Floor 1
215 Amicitia Floor 1
230 Amicitia Floor 2
240 Niflheim Dungeon Floor 2

Stats for Biolo

Biolo is a 4th class job - all 4th class jobs get new stats called: Trait Status. You can allocate them in the fold out menu under you regular stats. You should invest in just 2 stats - POW maxed out and rest into CON. When you are Level 250 this looks like this:

Stat Value
POW 100
STA 0
WIS 0
SPL 0
CON 97
CRT 0

Spam Cart Cannon

Under certain circumstances you are able to spam 2477.png Cart Cannon like a machine gun. This requires to have 5344.png Wooden Warrior out and a very precise balancing of various factors:

Instant Cast

To reach that you skills have no more variable cast time its possible to do it by gear. But the best way is to achieve it through skill points. For help take this formula:

DEX × 2 + INT >= 530

You can check you current reduction with the command @bs. If you reached the goal of instant cast it should look like this:

After Cast Delay(ACD)

Cart Cannon has a After Cast Delay of 0.5s. I'll skip all the math behind it and make it simple: you have to have 72% After Cast Delay reduction. To achieve this you have to reach 42% from your gear. Look at my my gear suggestion: here you will find more than enough possibilities. The remaining 30% you can get also from gear(but that's the more complicated option). The easiest option is to have a befriended Bard who gives you Level 10 321.png Poem of Bragi which reduces After Cast Delay by 30%.

You can check your current After Cast Delay with @bs and it should look like this(I know: in the screenshot its 2% too much...):

Attack Speed (ASPD)

You need 193 ASPD, which is achieved by putting stat points into AGI. As you need the most stat points for other stats you can use gear which gives you ASPD or use consumables like:

You can check your current ASPD directly in the status window:

Gear

Starting Gear

It is not worth to use anything else to get started than the Eden gear.

Mid Game Gear

Early Mid Game

After laying down your Eden Gear you can very cheap get another great set. It bridges the time until you have better gear. The set is called Grace Set and is available from Sentinel (sp_cor 115, 129) for 20 25669.png Unknown Parts (25669) each, which you gotten in the leveling session in Rudus. You can easily refine the Armor, Manteau and the Boots to +9 with the 100130.png Grace Refine Ticket (100130) , which you can buy from the same NPC for 20 25723.png Cor Core (25723) each(also from Rudus). You can enchant it if you like(not necessary), for more information see this article: Grace Set.

In addition to the grace set you can wear: 400001.png Victory Wing Ears (400001) and 420030.png Feather in Mouth (420030) which should be easy available for you on the market from other players.

Late Mid Game

Late Mid Game gear is gear which will cost you some time(and of course Zeny). From here on until End Game Gear its always a transition of switching some pieces until you get later the "Best in Slot" gear. Give yourself a plan how you will progress because wrong decisions will cost more time and Zeny. From now on refining comes as a blast in your life. I suggest here the affordable refining levels - if you are lucky you can refine to a much higher level ;-)

Shadow Gear: You can stay long time with the Advanced Eden Shadow Gear. I suggest a transition directly from there to End Game shadow gear.

End Game Gear

Now it gets freaky ;-) End game gear is always expensive and should not be your first target if you just startet. It can take weeks or even months to get it to a more or less acaptable stage. So don't be afraid if it don't comes together quickly.

In End Game gear Level 5 weapons and Level 2 armors are entering the stage. New to them is that they can get Grades, which makes it much more complicated to max them out, but it will really be worth it.

I keep it here realistic with refine levels - if you want you always can go further. Also MVP Cards are not considered because they have such rare drop rates.

Costume Enchants

It is possible to enchant costumes and these enchants give Cart Cannon a pretty neat boost. For more information, see: Costume Enchants (Fashion Points). I list here the optimal combination of Costume Enchants for our Cart Cannon Built:

Feel free to choose yourself in the lower headgear what you like. I chose the Teleport Stone to save the slot normally occupied by the creamy card.

Biolo Skill Builds (Under Construction)

These are at the moment theoretical builds who are under construction. Feedback is always appreciated.

Mayhemic Thorns

6006.png Mayhemic Thorns is a mighty Biolo skill which is able to do critical hits. Try to keep 5348.png Hell Tree and 5347.png Research Report up because it gives you a huge damage increase.

The following stats are a suggestion for the mentioned gear. You should focus to get 130 CRIT in you stats. That's why I don't focus on LUK in stats because the gear already gives so much. You'll maybe switch something forth and back... Keep in mind to get somehow instant cast:

Basic Stats:

Get your entourage

Pet

The most used pet is the Incubus. It gives you nice SP Leech and you will never have worries about empty SP. To get the Incubus Pet, you can go to Geffenia and tame an Incubus by using 12370.png Girl's Naivety (12370) on it to get the 9052.png Incubus Egg (9052) or just buy the egg on the market(from other players). You will need a 643.png Pet Incubator (643) to call the pet. Incubus consumes 6110.png Vital Flower (6110) which can be bought in the main office (main_office 101, 33). Don't forget to enable Autofeed in the pet menu. If you don't like to see pets around, you can easily activate the command @hidepet or activate it in the Login Settings in the main office.

If you are interested in pets check the article: Pet System

Homunculus

Homunculus are often dubbed as rocket science, but they give you a lot of power. In the end, it's not hard to grow a decent Homunculus. With a few steps you get the Homunculus which I recommend as the daily driver. If you want to get deeper knowledge about Homunculus, see this article: Homunculus. You should start to get your Homunculus right after you become Creator.

  1. Make sure you have skilled: 238.png Bioethics, 244.png Rest, 243.png Call Homunculus and 247.png Resurrect Homunculus
  2. Get an 7142.png Embryo (7142) , you can buy them from other players on the market or create it. To create it see this article: Creations from special jobclasses
  3. Use 243.png Call Homunculus and you new Homunculus appears. You want to have a Amistr, which appears in this two forms: or

    If you don't get Amistr just simply open Homunculus status window by Alt+R , click Delete and try it again.

  4. Get Amistr Loyal! You now can use 90 x 100371.png Homunculus Supplement (100371) or simply feed it and let it drag along.
  5. Use a 12040.png Stone of Sage (12040) . You now have an evolved Amistr which looks like this: or this:
  6. Get some 912.png Zargon (912) from the Petfood NPC in main office (main_office 101, 33), open Homunculus status window by Alt+R and enable Autofeeding.
  7. Level Homunculus up to Level 99
  8. When your Job is Genetic talk to Viorel at (job3_gen01 12, 44) in Lighthalzen and pay him 50.000 Zeny to transform your Homunculus into Dieter:
  9. The most valuable skills you get from Dieter are 8042.png Pyroclastic at Level 131 and 8045.png Tempering at Level 230

Wooden Warrior and Hell Tree

From the moment you change your job to Biolo you can get additional very strong summons. You should use them only if you need the additional damage because they consume 1000281.png Greater Plant Bottle (1000281) .

  • With the Skill 5344.png Wooden Warrior you summon the Wooden Warrior. It increases your Cart Cannon damage a lot.
  • With the Skill 5348.png Hell Tree you summon the Hell Tree, which buffs you and gives additional damage.

For the creation of 1000281.png Greater Plant Bottle (1000281) see this page: Creations from special jobclasses or buy them from other players.
