== EQUIPS [[File:Equips icon (1).png|link=]] ==
 
In this section we will go over 3 stages of equips: <span style="color:green;">Beginner</span>, <span style="color:green;">Midgame</span> and <span style="color:green;">Endgame</span>. There will be a <span style="color:Darkorange;">"True Endgame"</span> separated section at the end.
 
The <span style="color:green;">Beginner</span> equips are the step after Eden Basic Gear. So it's your first real goal to achieve.
 
[[File:X.gif]][[File:X.gif]][[File:X.gif]] BUT WAIT !! [[File:X.gif]][[File:X.gif]][[File:X.gif]]
 
Before even checking the <span style="color:green;">Beginner</span> equips you have a much more important thing to do. Probably the single most important thing that will double your damage potential.
 
Recently Ragnarok added a new Modifier to Non-critical damage. This new modifier is called <span style="color:Darkorange;">"Non-critical Physical Damage"</span> and is the same for both Melee and Long Range.
 
This modifier is added in the damage calculation when a Skill or a Normal attack do not perform a Critical Hit, and also is taken into account with it's full % by Skills (not like Crit% that is just cut in half).
 
This is a huge Damage boost for us !!
 
But...for sure this will just be on Endgame items, right?......Right?
 
Well the good news is that you can farm a full Shadow Stones set ({{#icon:1002395}}) just by using your Newbye Eden Gears !! [[File:Lightbulb.gif]][[File:Lightbulb.gif]][[File:Lightbulb.gif]]
 
[[File:O_emote.gif]][[File:O_emote.gif]][[File:O_emote.gif]] Here is a <span style="color:Darkorange;">Quick Guide</span> to get your Stone Set as soon as possible:
 
First you need to gather <span style="color:green;">"Fashion Points"</span>. You can do this slowly just by normally play the game, or you can speed up the process by doing one very specific <span style="color:green;">Instance</span>.
 
Talk to <span style="color:green;">Warper</span> → select <span style="color:green;">Instances</span> → select <span style="color:green;">Wave Mode Forest/Sky</span> → Talk to the Instance NPC and genrate <span style="color:green;">Sky Mode</span> and Enter.
 
Now go to the very upper end of the map and wait the mob to spawn. Kill all the mobs wave after wave (are very weak) and every 5 waves you get 1 Treasure Box plus one more every subsequent 5 waves till a max of 5 Boxes every 5 waves non-stop for 1 full hour [[File:Zeny_sign.gif]][[File:Zeny_sign.gif]][[File:Zeny_sign.gif]].
 
Treasure Bxoes have a chance to drop bulk {{#icon:1002395}} Shadow Stones and you will collect all those Stones.
 
Then go to {{#navi:main_office|62|278}} and talk to <span style="color:green;">Designer Heidam</span> to convert Bulk Stones into Fashion Points.
 
Then talk to the nearby <span style="color:green;">Costume Enchant Shop</span> to buy Stone Boxes and have a chance to get our powerfull new stones. You are looking for:
 
* {{#item:41090}} to get {{#item:1002396}} costing 50 Points each Box
* {{#item:41094}} to get {{#item:1002397}} costing 50 Points each Box
* {{#item:41098}} to get {{#item:1002398}} costing 50 Points each Box
* {{#item:41102}} to get {{#item:1002399}} costing 50 Points each Box
* {{#item:41105}} to get {{#item:1002395}} costing 300 Points each Box (this is the hardest, but is really worth it)
 
This process may be a bit boring and you may find faster to just farm he zeny and buy some of the stones. Either path you choose you have to slowly do this taks.
 
This set is an <span style="color:Darkorange;">MVP Card Level Damage Booster</span>.

+ Any Stats Enchant
|| Any P.Atk +7 card like:
{{#item:300636}}
 
or HP% card, like:
 
{{#item:300174}}
|| The hardest piece of equipment to get at this part of your Imperial Guard journey.
The raw item itself need an high amount of Depth2 reputation to be forged and enchanted.
 
But you can always ask other players to help you making one upon giving materials.
 
Then the enchant part is very expensive, but worth every Zeny.
 
 
 
Aside from the raw power of the item, this headgear and weapon combo allows you to autocast
 
{{#skill:2317}} upon using {{#skill:5266}}
 
adding more DPS for free.

| Weapon || +12 [A] {{#item:530054}} with:
{{#item:311864}} and {{#item:311931}}
 
or any other Race/Element combo you need

based on the ma you are farming.
 
One of the general setup is:
 
{{#item:27361}}
 
and
 
{{#item:300455}}
 
with his combo card on shoes:
 
{{#item:300457}}
|| This weapon is the easier part of the combo to forge and upgrade.
Weapons are inside {{#item:41245}}
 
which are dropped by Depth2 monsters.
 
Usually are very cheap to but raw.
 
The you can easily upgrade those weapons by using
 
{{#item:102668}}.
 
To then enchant the Weapon you need a proper amount of Depth2 Reputation
 
or you can ask other players to help you enchanting upon giving materials.
 
Usually a +12 [Grade A] Weapon cost around 200m Zeny.

The damage of couse is higher, just keep this as general reference.
