Spike's Leveling & Cart Cannon Guide

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 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 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:

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

Your shadow gear should look like this:

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

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

Do NOT use the 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 Cart Revolution. If you want to use Cart Revolution, first kill some porings to get enough skill points to skill 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). Put some heave things into your Pushcart(400x Oridecon (984) or Elunium (985) will max it out) because the weight scales your damage. No matter which way you go, always have Crazy Uproar on, which increases you STR and ATK. By completing Poring Village you get a reward - take the 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 Paradise Alchemist Sword (500034) . From now on you should use 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 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 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 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 Costume Beginner Cap (20307) as it gives no bonus anymore. Your gear should now look like this:

Advanced Paradise Cap (400139)		-Empty-
-Empty-		Advanced Paradise Suit (450185)
Paradise Genetic Mace (590028)		-Empty-
Advanced Paradise Manteau (480105)		Advanced Paradise Boots (470069)
Advanced Paradise Gloves (490127)		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 Cart Cannon damage scales with INT.

After becoming Base Level 200, your stats should look like this:

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 Cart Revolution - we will change that after this step.
• Turn the Quest in. You now can skill Cart Remodeling, Cart Boost and Cart Cannon on max level.
• Hold Cart Boost always active - it gives you a decent speed improve.
• Buy some Iron Cannon Ball (18004) from the Merchant Dealer in the Main Office and equip them
• Now do the following quests, first time using 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"

  • 120-140: "5 x Blue and Brown Skeggiold each"
  • 120-140: "5 x Incubus & Succubus each"

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

Your Shadow gear should look like this:

-Empty-		-Empty-
-Empty-		Advanced Paradise Shadow Armor (24694)
Genetic Advanced Paradise Shadow Weapon (24701)		Advanced Paradise Shadow Shield (24693)
-Empty-		Advanced Paradise Shadow Shoes (24695)
Advanced Paradise Shadow Earring (24696)		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 good additional gear which is described in the chapter: Mid Game Gear. But you should keep in mind, that your Advanced Eden Gear is pretty good - don't give it up to fast, because new gear will cost a little Zeny ;-) 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.

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 : 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 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 : 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 : Dark Cannon Ball (18002) ):
  • 30x Angelgolt(Blue) & 40x Angelgolt(Pink)
  • 30x Holy Frus & Skogul

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 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 Grace Refine Ticket (100130) , which you can buy from the same NPC for 20 Cor Core (25723) each(also from Rudus). You can enchant it if you like(but its not necessary), for more information see this article: Grace Set.

Advanced Paradise Cap (400139)		-Empty-
-Empty-		Grace Cart Cannon Suit [1] (450100)
Paradise Genetic Mace (590028)		-Empty-
Grace Attack Manteau [1] (480018)		Grace Attack Boots [1] (470020)
Grace Attack Ring [1] (490019)		Advanced Paradise Ring (490126)

Late Mid Game

Coming soon...

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:

Creator Stone (Top) (29464)		Genetic Stone (311009)
Teleport (29229)		-Empty-
-Empty-		-Empty-
Genetic Stone (Garment) (29467) Reload Stone (Dual) (311014)		-Empty-
-Empty-		-Empty-

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

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 Girl's Naivety (12370) on it to get the Incubus Egg (9052) or just buy the egg on the market(from other players). You will need a Pet Incubator (643) to call the pet. Incubus consumes 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: Bioethics, Rest, Call Homunculus and Resurrect Homunculus
2. Get an 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 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 Homunculus Supplement (100371) or simply feed it and let it drag along.
5. Use a Stone of Sage (12040) . You now have an evolved Amistr which looks like this: or this:
6. Get some 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 Pyroclastic at Level 131 and 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 Greater Plant Bottle (1000281) .

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

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