'''<big>Elemental Master</big>''' (<small>'' | '''<big>Elemental Master</big>''' (<small>''abbreviated''</small> <small>as</small> '''<big>EM</big>''') is the 4th class of the [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Sage|Sage]], [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Professor|Professor]], and [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Sorcerer|Sorcerer]] lineup. It's a versatile class that can be played as DPS, tank, support, or whichever your preference is. It is arguably one of the strongest magical classes at the moment. | ||
Unlike [[Arch Mage]], Elemental Master has a lot of utility skills (i.e. Land Protector, Dispell, Blinding Mist, Insignias, Defensive Stances of Spirits, etc.) in its arsenal, making it possible for the class to leave behind defensive gears, and run full DPS while surviving most of the monsters' and bosses' skills and attacks. | Unlike [[Arch Mage]], Elemental Master has a lot of utility skills (i.e. Land Protector, Dispell, Blinding Mist, Insignias, Defensive Stances of Spirits, etc.) in its arsenal, making it possible for the class to leave behind defensive gears, and run full DPS while surviving most of the monsters' and bosses' skills and attacks. | ||

** Its base MAtk% and SPL ratio got significantly increased.

* If you only use this skill as a gap closer, you will still have to fully level up Psychic Stream since it gets reduced cooldown the higher the levels. At Level 5, Psychic Stream has 2 seconds CD as compared to Level 1's 12 seconds CD. That being said, either learn this skill always at Level 5 or don't get Psychic Stream at all. | * If you only use this skill as a gap closer, you will still have to fully level up Psychic Stream since it gets reduced cooldown the higher the levels.

* I honestly don't know why Gravity gave the class even more mobility, but I guess this is them playing favorites. Unlike our cousins the Arch Mages, we now have more mobility which makes farming easier and faster. It's not as good as a Taekwon's '''{{#skill:426}}''' skill or a Knight's '''{{#skill:1001}}''' skill since it has a bit of cooldown and a nine (9) cells range, but in places like [[Varmundt%27s_Biosphere_Depth|Depth Biosphere]] or [[Varmundt%27s_Biosphere_Depth_2|Depth Abyss 2]] where teleportation is disabled, this skill is very useful. | * I honestly don't know why Gravity gave the class even more mobility, but I guess this is them playing favorites.

The benefit of creating a x1 EM character is the '''+50% drop rate buff''' that you will get once you've reached '''Base Level 250''' and it is capped at this level. Going for Base Level 251 and above will no longer give you any additional drop rate buff. As you climb higher starting from Level 1, you will already get the drop rate buff but at a much lower percentage. The drop rate buff you get from x1 only affects raw loots but not cards though so keep that in mind. Some players will settle for Level 250 and stop, but there are those who would level up 'til 260, 265, and 275 so they can equip items that has level restrictions or so that they can enter and farm dungeons that have level requirements like [[Zero Cell Sector|Zero Cell Sector.]] Important reminder to never ever change your rates on your x1 EM character; doing so will permanently remove the drop rate buff you have going on with that character and you will have to start anew. | The benefit of creating a x1 EM character is the '''[[Drop_Rates#Low_Rate_Drop_Boost|+50% drop rate buff]]''' that you will get once you've reached '''Base Level 250''' and it is capped at this level.

In all honesty, the experience of leveling a x1 character is really fun, and brings in the authentic RO grinding experience closer to officials—still far from it but closer as compared to x50 experience rate. I say this because unlike in officials, all the consumables and comforts in life that will help you level up faster are basically free and farmable. We are even allowed to dual client, wherein the other client can be reserved for your '''{{#skill:307}}''' performer buff slave so you can get '''+60% EXP points when killing monsters'''; triple client is also feasible if you want another buff slave like Cardinal that can give you '''{{#skill:5278}}''', '''{{#skill:5281}}''', and '''{{#skill:5271}}''' to help your character level up faster. We have the means to buy +50% EXP {{#item:12263}} from the Eden Machine {{#navi:moc_para01|49|31}} at the cost of 20 {{#item:25223}}; we can even condense these Battle Manuals into +100% {{#item:14533}} by talking to '''NPC''' '''Nyang Time''' {{#navi:malangdo|208|161}} in '''Malangdo'''. If you are hardcore and have lots of {{#item:50000}}, you can buy +200% EXP {{#item:12411}} from '''NPC''' '''Muh Coin Shop''' {{#navi:main_office|90|59}} in the '''Main Office''' ('''@go 15''') for 150 Muh Coins each. The server also have [[Beginners Guide#Eden Boards|Eden Board]] and [[Board Quests|Daily turn-in quests]] that greatly assist players in gaining large amounts of EXP points. Use all these benefits to create your x1 character to make the experience unforgettable and fun. It will be very rewarding in the end and you'll get to enjoy that +50% drop rate buff! | In all honesty, the experience of leveling a x1 character is really fun, and brings in the authentic RO grinding experience closer to officials—still far from it but closer as compared to x50 experience rate.

It lets you use the Acolyte skill '''{{#skill:26}}''', which is smoother and more fluid to spam than an {{#item:12887}} since the former scales with your ASPD; on the other hand, '''Infinite Fly Wing''' has a noticeable delay that is irreducible by ASPD because it is considered a consumable and not a skill. You will need a decent amount of ACD% though since your Teleport skill will also go into global cooldown/delay once you cast your other skills. | * Any of the Amistr Bag variants works just fine but, in my opinion, '''Teleport Amistr Bag''' is your best choice among all of them.

In this stage of gear progression, you are in the beginning stages of gearing. With the gears you have, they are good enough to get you through as you start to do the Episodic Quests starting from [[17.2 Sage Legacy|Episode 17.2]]. To start Episode 17.2, you first need to clear [[17.1 Illusion|Episode 17.1]], and if you don't care for the lore of the game you can skip 17.1 and buy its skip ticket. You can purchase {{#item:1000285}}from '''NPC''' '''Temporal Tina''' {{#navi:main_office|94|59}} in the Main Office ('''@go main''') for 2,000,000 zeny. | In this stage of gear progression, you are in the beginning stages of gearing.

With the Advanced Paradise Eden gears you obtained during the leveling phase, you can still use them to farm {{#item:25669}}and {{#item:25723}} from mobs in '''Rudus Flr. 2''' {{#navi:sp_rudus2|185|258}}. If you don't like farming for them, you also have the option to buy them from vendors since they aren't too costly to begin with anyway. After getting the required materials to buy your Grace set, you can use {{#item:100130}}to upgrade them to +9. Afterwards, you can start doing the [[Thanatos_Tower|Thanatos Tower]] quest so you can start farming for zeny in Flr. 12 to get you ready for the next upgrade in your gears. For more information regarding areas where you can farm zeny, you can check [[Choi%27s_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Zeny_Farming|Choi's Prerenewal Guide to Renewal (Zeny Farming)]] or [[The Road to a Billion Zeny - Newbie Leveling/Farming Guide]]. | With the Advanced Paradise Eden gears you obtained during the leveling phase, you can still use them to farm {{#item:25669}} and {{#item:25723}} from mobs in '''Rudus Flr. 2''' {{#navi:sp_rudus2|185|258}}.

You are now approaching Mid Game and there are core gears you can make as early as now as it's easy to make one and cheap to get. The books {{#item:540079}} and {{#item:540080}}can be purchased from vendors for an affordable price or if there's a lack of supply you can ask any Depth 2 farmers to <s>donate</s> sell you one. You can start [[Grade_Enhancing|grading]] and [[Refinement|refining]] these books. When refining, make sure to use {{#item:102668}} starting from +9. Don't start grading 'til the books are +11 for a higher chance of success. | You are now approaching Mid Game and there are core gears you can make as early as now as it's easy to make one and cheap to get.

Mid Game is the start where you can finally farm comfortably and considerably well on popular farming maps.

The kRO developers have recently released new pieces of information regarding the new skills that are anticipated to come out sometime during the 3rd Quarter of the year. Among these, Elemental Master will get a new skill that will complement the Spell Fist Build. The new skill is called [[File:Elemental Integration.png| | The kRO developers have recently released new pieces of information regarding the new skills that are anticipated to come out sometime during the 3rd Quarter of the year. Among these, Elemental Master will get a new skill that will complement the Spell Fist Build. The new skill is called [[File:Elemental Integration.png|28px]] '''Elemental Integration''' and it works by concentrating a range of elemental power into your hands which activates as a special elemental magic during normal physical attacks for a certain period of time to deal elemental magic damage to enemies within range. Moreover, the elemental magic activated is determined by the level of the casted Elemental Integration, and if there is a High Elemental Spirit currently summoned, the elemental magic damage corresponding to that attribute will be increased. | ||
According to the skill level, [[File:Elemental Integration.png| | According to the skill level, [[File:Elemental Integration.png|28px]] '''Elemental Integration''' will activate the following elemental magic: | ||
#'''<span style="color:#ED3F13;">Burning Flame</span>''': Inflicts <span style="color:red;">Fire</span> magic damage to nearby targets. | #'''<span style="color:#ED3F13;">Burning Flame</span>''': Inflicts <span style="color:red;">Fire</span> magic damage to nearby targets. | ||

[[File:Elemental Integration.png| | [[File:Elemental Integration.png|28px]] '''Elemental Integration''' consumes AP and seems to act as a self-buff much like '''{{#skill:2445}}'''; there is still a lack of cohesive details and we don't know for sure if it will override Spell Fist since Spell Fist in itself also concentrates the power of your elemental bolt skills to your basic attacks. However, it is also possible that Elemental Integration will just serve as your 4th Job equivalent of '''{{#skill:279}}''' wherein it will give you the ability to autocast the aforementioned elemental magical skills at a certain chance every time you inflict basic attacks. What's good with this new skill is it will solve the issue with the Spell Fist build lacking any reliable form of AoE magical damage outside of the '''Frontier combo''''s autocast '''{{#skill:5220}}''' skill and {{#icon:300666}}{{#linkitem:300666|(MVP) Bulgasari Card}}'s autocast '''{{#skill:6515}}''' and '''{{#skill:5233}}''' skills. Whether the AoE will be wide, centered around you, or around the monster is something we still can't determine until the developers release more details since no showcase was shown during their initial posts. This makes me and any Spell Fist enthusiasts overjoyed, knowing that the Battle Mage playstyle will be given some serious love and is not totally forgotten. Let's just hope it will be as good as the Caster build!
