+ 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.

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.

Please don't mind my +15 Upgrade on the Headgear and it's {{#item:314254}} enchant, unfortunately i haven't a +12 version to showcase.
 
The damage of couse is higher, just keep this as general reference.
 
Just keep in mind your expected damage will be lower, but the farming maps possibilities are the same.

! Cards !! Notes
|-
| {{#item:300532}} ||
The best catch all Card for Maps filled with <span style="color:magenta;">Boss Class</span> Monsters with any Size.
|-
| {{#item:4399}} || This card have a special role for Melee Imperial Guard. Since will free Shadow Gear slots.
Which means we can wear <span style="color:magenta;">Maximum Mammoth</span> Shadow Set and prevent <span style="color:magenta;">Knockback</span> effects.
 
In my opinion this card is a <span style="color:magenta;">must have</span> to play endgame content smoothly.
 
Also because our Gap Closer Skill {{#skill:2312}} have a super long 5s Cooldown,
 
hence for us is very important to hold, maintain and have control over our position.
 
You can combine it with all the other damage cards:
 
Boss Class Maps: {{#item:300532}} + {{#item:4399}}
 
Large Target: {{#item:300240}} + {{#item:4399}}
 
Medium Target: {{#item:300241}} + {{#item:4399}}
 
Catch all Normal Maps: {{#item:27361}} + {{#item:4399}}
 
High% Small Normal Maps: {{#item:300661}} + {{#item:4399}}
 
The <span style="color:magenta;">Shadow Gears</span> configuration will be the following:
 
+10 {{#item:24792}}
 
+10 {{#item:24793}}
 
+10 {{#item:24679}}
 
+10 {{#item:24680}}
 
+10 {{#item:24948}}
 
+7 {{#item:24949}}
 
The <span style="color:magenta;">+10</span> with <span style="color:magenta;">+7</span> configuration is necessary to maximize Thanatos power.
 
Generally speaking Thanatos beat every other general damage card after 600 Def.
|-
| {{#item:27361}} ||
Overall good card for the majority of maps.
Relevant small size mobs are still rare.
|-
| {{#item:300240}} ||
The best damage card vs Large Size monsters.
|-
| {{#item:300241}} ||

| {{#item:4174}} || A very old card that is still useful after 20+ years.
Do not underestimate the power of this card, it will allows you to survive the most difficult maps.

{{#skill:2318}} and/or {{#item:4128}}.

Like the Deviling, this too have to be used in the right conditions and with the right support from
 
{{#skill:2318}} and/or {{#item:4128}}.
 
The Holy weakness is also nullified by {{#skill:2322}}.
|-
| {{#item:300474}} || The best Garment card for overall Melee Damage vs all type of monster. We also don't suffer the Critical drawback.
Very nice bonus damage boost vs <span style="color:magenta;">Boss Class</span> Monsters.
|-
| {{#item:300644}} || An hybrid card that gives both Damage and Neutral Resistance.
It's useful over Rgan Chief when you need that little more defense to survive, but you still want to do as much damage as possible.

I always suggest to use HP% cards in the Shoes slot, there is not cards worth this job damage wise.
 
And since we will equip many other stuffs that will lower our HP%, this cards helps a  lot.
 
Generally i suggest to <span style="color:green;">never go lower than 300.000 HP</span>.
 
The <span style="color:green;">best setup</span> is from <span style="color:green;">400.000</span> HP to <span style="color:green;">650.000</span> HP.

=== Equips for 1x Challenge ===
 
==== Must Have Weapons and Optional Weapons  ====
 
Before looking at the Weapon options i will share the progression i used for leveling my Imperial Guard:
 
* from level <span style="color:magenta;">100</span> to <span style="color:magenta;">150</span> → {{#item:530018}}
* from level <span style="color:magenta;">150</span> to <span style="color:magenta;">170</span> → +12 {{#item:32013}}
* from level <span style="color:magenta;">170</span> to <span style="color:magenta;">205</span> → +12 {{#item:32025}} with {{#item:29601}} and {{#item:4820}}
* from level <span style="color:magenta;">205</span> to <span style="color:magenta;">230</span> → +12[A] {{#item:530057}} with {{#item:313129}} and {{#item:313117}}
* from level <span style="color:magenta;">230</span> to <span style="color:magenta;">250</span> → +12[A] {{#item:530034}} with {{#item:311453}} and double {{#item:311276}}
* from level <span style="color:magenta;">250</span> to <span style="color:magenta;">275</span> → +15[A] {{#item:530054}} with {{#item:311864}} and {{#item:311931}}
 
This was my progression choice, but you don't have to do the same.
 
I suggest to choose one weapon from level <span style="color:magenta;">205-215</span> to <span style="color:magenta;">230</span> besides the basic +9-11 {{#item:530025}} from this list:
* +12[A] {{#item:530057}}
* +12[A] {{#item:530045}}
* +12[A] {{#item:530014}} with +11-12 {{#item:400201}}
 
After level <span style="color:magenta;">200</span> there are basically 3 path you can follow:
* Option one is reaching level <span style="color:magenta;">205</span> with a Royal Guard weapon, then use +12[A] {{#item:530057}} up to level <span style="color:magenta;">230</span>. Then change to +12[A] {{#item:530034}}.
* Option two is reaching level <span style="color:magenta;">215</span> with a Royal Guard weapon, then use +12[A] {{#item:530045}} up to level <span style="color:magenta;">230</span>. Then change to +12[A] {{#item:530034}}.
* Option three is reaching level <span style="color:magenta;">210</span> with a Royal Guard weapon, then use +12[A] {{#item:530014}} with +11-12 {{#item:400201}} up to level <span style="color:magenta;">230</span>. Then change to +12[A] {{#item:530034}}.
* Option four is reaching level <span style="color:magenta;">215</span> with a Royal Guard weapon, then use +9-11 {{#item:530025}} up to level <span style="color:magenta;">230</span>. Then change to +12[A] {{#item:530034}}.
 
The +9-11 {{#item:530025}} is the worst because limits your EXP gears options by a lot and you need very good armors to keep oneshotting monsters at Biosphere A.
 
{{#icon:2720}} <span style="color:green;">Imporant to note</span>:
 
choosing +12[A] {{#item:530057}} or +12[A] {{#item:530045}} do not mean you are forced to get +12[A] {{#item:530034}} at <span style="color:magenta;">230</span>.
 
You can keep going with Furious or Holy Light till level <span style="color:magenta;">250</span>, both weapons can carry you there.
 
{{#icon:2720}} <span style="color:green;">Other important note</span>:
 
leveling a 1x Character is much different than leveling a standard server rate Character. Because you have to kill thousands of monsters and <span style="color:green;">having a good Weapon matters a lot</span>.
 
How much you want to invest is up to you. The more you invest in a Weapon the more EXP gears you can wear and still be able to defeat monsters at a reasonable pace.
 
But you can choose to follow the cheapest progression possible and still reach level <span style="color:magenta;">275</span>, you will be just slower.
 
The cheaper progression possible is: {{#item:530018}} → +9-11 {{#item:530025}} → +12[A] {{#item:530054}}.
 
But <span style="color:darkorange;">i do not really recommend</span> this progression.
 
At least try to swap to +12[A] {{#item:530034}} fully enchanted at level <span style="color:magenta;">230</span> before the Time Dimensional Spear at <span style="color:magenta;">250</span>. but <span style="color:darkorange;">i stll do not recommend</span> this way too.
 
Follow the +12[A] {{#item:530057}}, the +12[A] {{#item:530045}} or the +12[A] {{#item:530014}} with +11-12 {{#item:400201}} progression and you will have a fun experience.
 
{{#icon:2720}} <span style="color:green;">Last Very Important Note</span>:
 
if you pick Furious or Holy Light weapon you <span style="color:darkorange;">DO NOT</span> have to forge all the  respective Headgears and Boots Set.
 
The Weapons alone are perfectly fine for leveling.
 
But the +12[A] {{#item:530014}} <span style="color:green;">HAVE TO</span> be paired with +11-12 {{#item:400201}} to give some {{#skill:5266}} damage.

Easy to farm and to refine using an alternate high level character.
