Rakugaki's PvM Hyper Novice: Difference between revisions

Holden (slotted)

|Starter Headgear. Gives +1 all stats.

|-

|{{#item:2340}}

|Yuno - King's Shop

|Starter Armor, though it's a little expensive at 89,000 zeny. Definitely better than rags that came from the dump ({{#item:2352|Tattered Novice Ninja Suit }}).

|-

|{{#item:15012}}

|MDEF+20

When complete, the Angel's Set gives a sizeable boost to HP and SP. There is a small chance Lv. 1 Assumptio will be autocast if you're under attack. Beware the After Cast Delay that happens each time the skill is autocast.

|Mastering

|Part of the Angel's Set.

|Part of the Angel's Set. Adds 5% HP recovery.

|-

|{{#item:22015}}

|-

|{{#item:2628}}

|Izlude Armor Dealer

|Starter accessory. Doesn't give any stats, but at least it's slotted and cheap.

|Dragon Fly

|Gives 10SP.

|'''Advanced Paradise Set'''

|[[Beginners Guide|Eden Academy]], Base Level 100

|Upon reaching Base Level 100, go back to where you got the Paradise Set. Talk to Louis to get the Advanced Paradise Set in exchange for a couple of monster drops or by spending 10 {{#item:25223}} per piece.

{{#item:490015}}

|10 {{#item:6919}} per piece. Obtained by completing [[16.1 Banquet for Heroes]]

|Good until level 125. It is highly recommended to complete the [[16.1 Banquet for Heroes]] quest chain to get this over the other armors. While it gives less MATK compared to the Flattery Robe and is designed more towards an autospell build, completing the full set gives quite a lot of bonuses, which include reduction in Variable Casting Time and Aftercast Delay, and can be further upgraded into the Imperial and Grace sets. Finally, to put the icing on the cake, they can be refined to +9 thanks to the {{#item:100128}} at a price of 10 {{#item:6919}}

{{#item:490018}}

|10 {{#item:25155}} per piece. Obtained by completing the [[16.2 Terra Gloria]]

|Good until level 150. An upgraded version of the Noblesse set. Like the Noblesse set, they can be easily refined to +9 thanks to the {{#item:100129}}, at the cost of...

{{#item:490020}}

|20 {{#item:25669}} per piece. Obtained by completing the [[17.1_Illusion]]

|Best by level 200, but these will still serve you well even at level 250 if you still don't have enough resources to get the best equipment. Each piece costs 20 {{#item:25669}} while the {{#item:100130}} costs 20 {{#item:25723}}.

|-

|{{#item:550044}}

|[[Beginners Guide|Eden Academy]], Base Level 100 and above

|Go back to where you got the Paradise Set and pay Labraham 10 {{#item:25223}}. Initially gives decent MATK but leveling up makes it significantly better. The glaring downsides - no slots and it can't be refined.

|-

|{{#item:550080}}

|[[Bioresearch Laboratory]], Base Level 100 and above

|An ancient rod. See the link above for more info on patenting it.

|-

|{{#item:2924}}

|Eclage Glove Seller (10 Splendide Coins)

|This is the more offensive-oriented accessory. If your base INT is 110, equip two of these as it adds MATK for every 10 base INT and +1% MATK if base INT is 110.

|-

|{{#item:2898}}

|Nightmare Wraith Dead

|Gives a nice boost to MDEF (+15), reducing damage from magic attacks and the chances of being Stone Cursed and Frozen.

|-

|{{#item:15377}}

|[[17.1 Illusion]]

|An upgrade over the Grace set but only at high refines (+9) and with modification modules. Gives a large increase in MATK (+100), even more MATK at higher refines and can be enchanted. {{#item:39540}} and two {{#item:39535}} are recommended.

|-

|{{#item:450128}}

|[[17.2 Sage Legacy]]

|An improved version of the Illusion Armor, it gives a sizeable increase in MATK (+125), even more MATK at higher refines and can be enchanted. While the modules have better stats, further boosting requires higher refines. Choose between {{#item:1000128|Automatic Module (Magical Force)}}, {{#item:1000134|Automatic Module (Delay after skill)}}, {{#item:1000123|Automatic Module (Magic)}} and {{#item:1000168|Automatic Module (Shadow Spell)}}.

|-

|{{#item:550044}}

|[[Beginners Guide|Eden Academy]], Base Level 100 and above

|If better rods like the ones listed below are still out of reach, this humble rod will still serve you well, even beyond level 200. It deals more damage than a +15 Crimson Rod and almost the same damage as a +15 Rutilus Stick-OS with the MATK +15% enchant.

|-

|{{#item:26151}}

|[[OS / OSAD Weapons]]

|A strong wand that gives After-Cast Delay reduction at +11, becoming even stronger with enchants. Try to get the MATK +15% enchant. The Paradise Super Novice Wand you get for FREE deals almost the same damage as this at +15. However, it does have its advantages. The Paradise SN Wand has no slots while this has 2, and it doesn't require Super Novice Soul Link to use, unlike the Welding Wand and Illusion Thorn Staff of Darkness.

|-

|{{#item:550081}}

|[[Bioresearch Laboratory]]

|An upgraded version of {{#item:550080}}. Refine it to +7 to gain access to level 5 {{#skill:2449}}, which will make leveling and killing monsters a lot easier.

|-

|{{#item:2113}}

|Lighthalzen Armory

|Illusion Silver Guard, Magic Absorber, Glacier Shield or Mad Bunny-LT still out of reach? The Novice Shield is still decent, thanks to its 20% resistance against all elements except Neutral. It may also help in reducing, or even fully negating Lasgand's Earth and Fire element attacks when paired with the right equipment and cards.

|-

|{{#item:28942|Cursed Knight's Shield }}

|Cash Shop

|A good shield that provides many bonuses, especially at higher refines. Keep it at +4 if upgrading to a Purified Knight's Shield in the future.

|-

|{{#item:460018}}

|[[Illusion of Twins]]

|A good alternative to the Cursed Knight's Shield and Purified Knight's Shield, it reduces Variable Casting Time and Aftercast Delay and can be enchanted. Highly recommended to get 2 Spellbound Nives.

|-

|{{#item:20934}}

|[[17.1 Illusion]]

|Max HP +1000. Adds 100 HP every 2 refine rate. Enchant with {{#item:39542|Modification Orb<br>(Above All)}} and 2 {{#item:39537|Modification Orb (Fast)}} modules.

|-

|{{#item:480021}}

|[[17.2 Sage Legacy]]

|Improved version of the Illusion Engine Wing. Choose between {{#item:1000136}}, {{#item:1000125}} and {{#item:1000126}}.

|-

|{{#item:22197}}

|[[17.1 Illusion]]

|Max SP +200. Adds 20 SP every 2 refine rate. Enchant with either {{#item:39531|Modification Orb (Vital)}} for more survivability or {{#item:39530|Modification Module (Mental)}} for more SP, and {{#item:39541|Modification Module(Fixed Casting)}}.

|-

|{{#item:22238}}

|

|An obsolete and ancient pair of boots gets a modern touch-up, making it GREAT. This pair of shoes gives a lot of bonuses, especially at high refines. Best paired with a {{#item:550081}}. Try to refine this to +11, then use the {{#item:100747}} to turn it to a +10 Hero Boots-LT.

|-

|{{#item:470023}}

|[[17.2 Sage Legacy]]

|Improved version of the Illusion Leg. Enchant with the following: {{#item:1000147}}, {{#item:1000151}} and {{#item:1000135}}.

|-

|{{#item:32209}}

|One of the best accessories for this build. Grants MATK +5%. {{#item:29545|Modification Orb<br>(Magic Healing)}} and {{#item:25680|Modification Module (Spell)}} or {{#item:25681|Modification Module (Attack Speed)}} are recommended. Get Spell for increased magic power. Get ASPD for better spell spamming, provided Variable Cast Time and After Cast Delay are kept to a minimum.

|-

|{{#item:32210}}

|One of the best accessories for this build. Grants MATK +5%. {{#item:29546|Modification Orb<br>(Magic Soul)}} and {{#item:25680|Modification Module (Spell)}} or {{#item:25681|Modification Module (Attack Speed)}} are recommended. Get Spell for increased magic power. Get ASPD for better spell spamming, provided Variable Cast Time and After Cast Delay are kept to a minimum.

|-

|{{#item:490026}}

|An improved version of the Illusion Battle Chip. Choose between {{#item:1000139|Automatic Module (Magic Healing)}}, {{#item:1000115|Automatic Module (Spell)}}, {{#item:1000116|Automatic Module(Attack Speed)}} and {{#item:1000144|Automatic Module (All Force)}}.

|-

|{{#item:490027}}

|An improved version of the Illusion Battle Chip. Choose between {{#item:1000140|Automatic Module (Magic Soul)}}, {{#item:1000115|Automatic Module (Spell)}}, {{#item:1000116|Automatic Module(Attack Speed)}} and {{#item:1000144|Automatic Module (All Force)}}.

|-

|{{#item:410092}}

|Middle Headgear

|Boosts all elemental Magic Damage while reducing Variable Cast Time and After-Cast Delay. The slotted version's bonus is a bit less. Pair with {{#item:420003}} for more Magic Damage, but try not to whack stuff and trigger Soul Strike and its ACD. Unlike the three mid-headgears below, it cannot be enchanted.

|-

|{{#item:420003}}

|Lower Headgear

|Boosts all elemental Magic Damage when paired with {{#item:410092}}, but try not to auto-whack stuff and trigger Soul Strike and its ACD.

|-

|{{#item:450178}}

|[[Gray Wolf Equipment]]

|An improved version of the Automatic Armor, it gives a large increase in MATK (+130), even more MATK at higher refines and can be enchanted. While the modules have better stats, further boosting requires higher refines.

|-

|{{#item:450207}}

|[[Issgard Equipment]]

|A much better version of the Automatic Armor Type-B and Gray Wolf Robe, thanks to higher stats and the ability to choose which enchants you want. No RNG shenanigans.

|-

|{{#item:550057}}

|[[Amicitia]]

|A level 5 weapon that boosts {{#skill:5456}} and {{#skill:5455}} damage. Try refining this to +8.

|-

|{{#item:550075}}

|[[OS / OSAD Weapons]]

|A stronger and sadder version of the {{#item:26151}}, providing better After-Cast Delay reduction, less Variable Cast Time and a permanent 30% boost to Neutral and Fire element damage instead of a random limited-duration buff.

|-

|{{#item:550069}}

|[[Issgard Equipment]]

|A non-slotted wand that can be enchanted four times, making it a decently powerful weapon until the dimmer but more powerful {{#item:550089}} is obtained.

|-

|{{#item:460018}}

|[[Illusion of Twins]]

|A good alternative to the Cursed Knight's Shield and Purified Knight's Shield, it reduces Variable Casting Time and Aftercast Delay and can be enchanted. Highly recommended to refine this to +11 and get 2 Spellbound Nives.

|-

|{{#item:460005}}

|[[Geffen Night Arena]]

|Increases Magical Damage and provides some MDEF. Can be enchanted. Try getting enchants that ignore the MDEF of Normal or Boss monsters, preferably Boss monsters.

|-

|{{#item:480090}}

|[[Gray Wolf Equipment]]

|Improved version of the Illusion Engine Wing and Automatic Engine Wing.

|-

|{{#item:480160}}

|[[Issgard Equipment]]

|Improved version of the Gray Wolf Muffler.

|-

|{{#item:480125}}

|[[Convertible Wings]]

|A significantly upgraded version of the Excellion Wing, tuned to greatly boost magic power, especially when refined and paired with either Deep Blue Sunglasses and Victory Wing Ears.

|-

|{{#item:470094}}

|

|The current final form of the Ancient Hero Boots, this pair of shiny shoes gives quite a lot of bonuses, especially at high refines and better grades. It's an upgrade over the Automatic Leg B-type at high refines AND when paired with the {{#item:550082}}. Try to aim for a +11 Grade C at least.

|-

|{{#item:470088}}

|[[Gray Wolf Equipment]]

|Improved version of the Illusion Leg and Automatic Leg.

|-

|{{#item:470116}}

|[[Issgard Equipment]]

|Improved version of the Gray Shoes.

{{#item:490064}}

|Accessory (Right)

|These two are almost virtually identical to each other. Both give additional MATK and ASPD. Best paired with their necklace counterparts for the ACD and FCT reduction.

|-

{{#item:490065}}

|Accessory (Left)

|These two are almost virtually identical to each other. Both give additional MATK and VCT reduction. Best paired with their ring counterparts for the ACD and FCT reduction.

|-

|-

|{{#item:410080}}

|[[Verus]]

|A cool-looking slotted Middle Headgear that can be enchanted. Reduces Variable Cast Time. Try to get MATK enchants.

|-

|{{#item:400002}}

|[[Amicitia]] (0.05%)

|A cool-looking slotted Middle Headgear that can be enchanted. Reduces After-Cast Delay. Try to get MATK enchants.

|-

|{{#item:480284}}

|[[20 The Immortal]]

|This muffler doesn't emit greenhouse gases, but it does emit a lot of power, sufficient for the late-game but lacking in the end-game. It can be easily graded, because it doesn't need an exorbitant amount of zeny and expensive {{#item:6635}} to refine. Try obtaining a +12 Grade C. Currently can be purchased from player vendors at cheap prices.

|-

|{{#item:480233}}

|[[Varmundt's Biosphere]]

|A powerful manteau that grows stronger the higher its refinement and grade. The 10% After-Cast Delay reduction at Grade A makes skill rotation a lot easier, especially when Ground Gravitation is part of the rotation.

|-

|{{#item:470198}}

|[[20 The Immortal]]

|A pair of shoes that gives a lot of power, sufficient for the late-game but lacking in the end-game. It can be easily graded, because it doesn't need an exorbitant amount of zeny and expensive {{#item:6635}} to refine. Try obtaining a +12 Grade C. Currently can be purchased from player vendors at cheap prices. Despite its many benefits like reduced FCT, it is but a stopgap to the wonderful, wonderful moaning that's to come.

|-

|{{#item:470204}}

|Sunken Ship

|Climbing and/or moaning noises not included. One of, if not the best footgear due to the FCT reduction and MATK bonuses, but at the cost of increased SP consumption. It is highly recommended to give this thing a C-grade at the very least for the big 1-second Fixed Cast Time reduction. Grade A is definitely the best, because SPL is one of the major factors affecting all of the skills' damage.

|{{#item:490304}}

|Accessory (Right)

|One of the best-in-slot accessories. EXPENSIVE to enchant!

|-

|{{#item:490307}}

|Accessory (Left)

|One of, if not the best-in-slot accessories. EXPENSIVE to enchant!

|-

|{{#item:410233}}

|Middle Headgear

|

|-

|-

|{{#item:450284}}

|[[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth]]

|The 2nd best-in-slot armor will serve you well until all the stars align. Grants copious amounts of MATK and magical damage, especially at higher grades and higher refines.

|-

|{{#item:450173}}

|[[Constellation Tower]]

|The best-in-slot armor, '''but only if all the stars align'''. {{#item:450284}} by itself is a lot more powerful, so stick to it in the meantime. But once you obtain a {{#item:480351}} with the {{#item:313018}} enchant, {{#item:490136}} with {{#item:313038}}, and {{#item:490485}} with {{#item:312996}}, there will be a huge increase in power, at the cost of some survivability. But with such power, almost everything drops dead, and that in itself is a form of "survivability" - just kill'em fast before they kill you fast.

|-

|{{#item:460020}}

|The more offensive-oriented shield. Upgrade it to at least Grade D for the damage reduction, but it is highly recommended to max it out at Grade A and refine it to +12 to take advantage of the {{#item:300379}}.

|-

|{{#item:460040}}

|Episode 20

|The more defensive-oriented shield. Upgrade it to Grade C and refine it to +12 to take advantage of {{#item:300379}}'s damage reduction bonuses. Focusing on the more defensive enchants provides A LOT of damage reduction plus a HUGE quality of life improvement - 10% reduced VCT and over 100 Hard MDEF. The 10% reduced VCT will come in handy when using the {{#item:300522}}/{{#item:300529}} combo, while having over 100 Hard MDEF means complete immunity to a myriad of bad status effects, like getting Stoned, Frozen, and more!

|-

|{{#item:470337}}

|???

|Boosts magic power and almost all elemental magic damage except for Undead and Ghost. Increases overall magic power by itself, but enchanting it makes it SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful. This cold and wet pair of shoes is the most likely successor to the {{#item:470204}} when fully enchanted. The moaning stops. The wet socks start.

|-

|{{#item:470338}}

|???

|Boosts magic power and almost all elemental magic damage except for Water and Poison. Increases overall magic power by itself, but enchanting it makes it SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful. This hot and sweaty pair of shoes is the most likely successor to the {{#item:470204}} when fully enchanted. The moaning stops. The acrid, foul smell starts.

|-

|'''Beginner Shadow Gear'''

|Starter shadow set

|-

|'''Advanced Shadow Gear'''

|Provides 50% DEF and MDEF pierce. Advanced Shadow Gear that's good until the mid-late game. Requires Base Level 100. Can be rented for 20 {{#item:25223}} per week or 30 {{#item:25223}} per piece, 80 {{#item:25223}} for the class-specific weapon.

|-

|{{#item:24883}}<br>{{#item:24884}}

|Shadow Armor, Shadow Shoes

|Shadow armor and shoes that increase magical damage.

|-

|{{#item:24753}}<br>{{#item:24754}}

|Shadow Weapon, Shadow Shield

|Combos with the Magical Spell Armor and Shoes. Enchant with MATK and Spell for damage, or Heal% and H.PLUS or CRT for additional healing and less potion use, or a mix of both for balance.

|-

|<br>{{#item:24665}}<br>{{#item:24668}}

|Shadow Ring, Shadow Earring

|Provides full MDEF penetration when both pieces are +9 and above. Enchant with MATK and Spell for damage, or Heal% and H.PLUS or CRT for additional healing and less potion use, or a mix of both for balance.

|-

|{{#item:24800}}<br>{{#item:24792}}<br>{{#item:24793}}<br>{{#item:24801}}<br>{{#item:24802}}<br>{{#item:24803}}

|Deals slightly less damage compared to the three 2-sets above, but pierces through MRES. Enchant with the spell of your choosing and SPL.

|-

|{{#item:24946}}<br>{{#item:24792}}<br>{{#item:24793}}<br>{{#item:24947}}<br>{{#item:24944}}<br>{{#item:24945}}<br>

|An improved version of the Master Shadow Set, tailored for Magic Hyper Novices. Increases the damage of all skills except Hell's Drive and Ground Gravitation. Enchant with the spell of your choosing and SPL.

|-
