Lily's Biolo Research Report
About that page
Any scientific article begins with a justification of why these studies are conducted at all.
This article is notes on the way to study the Biolo job and is intended to preserve and transfer the experience gained and accumulated by playing that class and talking to MuhRO's Merchants community.
This article bears my name, but this title is akin to the Guinness Book of Records, which, generally speaking, is not about Guinness at all. The author expects that this work will be supplemented by active members of the community, each of whom will be able to subscribe to the part developed by them (if desire so).
Therefore, if you have any interesting or curious information that you would like to share with the community, or with newcomers, helping them on their difficult path, feel free to supplement this article with your blocks.
Just please follow the rules of intelligence, and the rules approved on this wiki, and also avoid disrespect and vandalism. No one needs it.

About Biolo
Genetic | Biolo |
---|---|
There is a widespread misconception in the community that playing a Merchant Class requires a lot of capital investment, and that this is an expensive process that is not suitable for beginners.
I will say right away, all this is not true. This class is great for new players and for people who like to earn and save zeny.

Choosing build
First of all, I will give a summary table that shows the current builds for each Job.
However, please note that builds of the third Job listed here are intended not only for leveling as Genetic.
Please keep in mind that playing with the skills of the third Job at fourth Job is possible, but it has its own features:
- Most likely, the upper damage threshold that you can develop will be lower than the one that you could develop using the skills of the fourth profession
- Most likely, the cost of a full-fledged development of such a build will be at least no less, and most likely comparable to the cost of developing a build of the fourth Job
- At the moment, it is unknown whether these builds will be developed and supported in the future or not
- Playing build of the third Job has features for which they are worth choosing. Usually these are narrowly defined builds for certain purposes
- Use and choose this build only if you are absolutely sure that you need it and you will benefit from it. Well, or choose them just for fun and new adventures.

The builds listed here are listed in decreasing order of their relevance. This means that the higher the build in the list, the more useful and popular it is, and the lower, the more questionable its choice is (although it may be justified).

Mayhemic Thorns
- That build's role is ranged DPS
- It could be useful both in solo and party gameplay scenarios
- Great for farming because of range and AoE
- Suitable for hunting MvPs
- Critical hits can not miss. Just be sure you have enough Cri to ignore enemies' crit shields to not loose damage.
- Easy to start, which is great for beginners
- It's great for crafting because of stats distribution
- Doesn't consume anything to attack, which allows you to stay on locations for a long time and save zeny, weight and your time (time is zeny too)
- Critical ranged builds are almost always in meta, so you can be sure developers would not forget about your build
- Gear can be re-used for similar builds on other Jobs (example: Triple Laser)
- Gear can be easily sold
