== Introduction ==
== Introduction ==
Hi, I'm Conga Lyne, a performer main, hopefully this guide will help you along your journey playing the performer classes!<br>
[[File:ScreenMuhRO068.jpg|none|thumb|528x528px]]
Take note, the main appeal to performer is the large utility and party potential it provides while still remaining independent, this is a class played out of love.<br>
Hello everybody! I'm Lxna, I have played ragnarok for many years but this year I started pushing myself into getting better at the game, understanding mechanics, and helping others so we always have a community to grow together. I started MuhRo around August 24, and since then i've been growing stronger, farming and making some friends on my journey. I started as an Imperial Guard because i really like more chonky (tanky) class and it was the perfect starter for me!
You won't have the same DPS as meta classes like Ranger and Arch Mage, but still have more than enough damage (3b+ dps) to tackle all content with the right gear.


This guide will also focus on magical dps Performer, specifically the skill Metallic Fury, I will be focusing on the skill as it is spammable, has a large AoE, can be any element and has low entry requirements.<br>
Important to say that I am not even remotely close of being a good Imperial Guard as I just started playing recently, i am just sharing my opinion and thoughts about the progression based in my experience!
If you need any direct help, you can most likely find me in the #archer channel on discord or as "Cute Boy Conga" ingame, I might take a while to respond so sending an RODex may be more convenient for both of us.


With all that said, let's get into it.
== Notes ==
Imperial guard (IG) is a really strong starter, has great dps output, it is really tanky (in farming runs it's almost impervious to damage!) and it has a really smooth and enjoyable gear progression. I do recommend this class, even if it's your first character on the server.


== Leveling ==
Do note that IG have a magic, a melee and recently a range critical physical build, but this guide will focus only on the magic vertent, which the main skill used is Cross Rain.
Going from level 0 to 200 is your first major goal, silver arrows will be the most useful throughout most areas of play.


Something that will help you significantly early on is eden group gear, you can attain eden group equipment by first joining the eden group after talking to Secretary Lime Evenor {{#navi:moc_para01|27|35}}, and then talking to the various equipment masters at {{#navi:moc_para01|107|79}}.<br>
Some pros and cons for the magic build in my opinion:
Start from the bottom and work your way towards the top, I recommend gathering the items for Louis's free advanced items, but find it easier to spend 10 eden group coins on Labraham's advanced weapon.<br>
You can use the @wd <item name>, and @wi <monster name> commands to find where to locate the required materials.


You can get normal eden group equipment at any level and advanced eden group equipment at level 100.
Pros:


{| class="wikitable"
* You are immune to magic damage (well, you dodge it, but it is really helpful);
|+
* AOE skill - you use the skill, things die inside the range, you teleport out of it, repeat!  No need to click on the specific mob!
!Level
* You can almost mantain 100% physical damage immune while farming using {{#skill:5256}}
!Map
* Turned off brain  for farming! Use skill, teleport, use skill, teleport and repeat until rich!
!Quests
 
!Notes
Cons:
|-
 
|0-10
* Farm will get brainless along you upgrade your gear. At the start it will be harder and slower than other classes;
|Prontera Plains {{#navi:prt_fild08|340|215}}
* You will only feel the smoothness of {{#skill:5267}} farming once you get the Dimension Weapon + Crown combo, as it almost decrease the skill cd in half!;
|None
* Your damage will be mainly Holy! This means that you will not be able to farm comfortably some endgame maps like Biosphere B - Temple or Depth 1. With {{#skill:6505}} this no longer will be a problem;
|
* Cross rain has an  animation lock once you use it! At first you will get annoyed but then you get used to it.

{{#skill:5267}}

<blockquote>Our main damage dealer, the skill that should in your prefered skill button as this will be the one that you will be pressing it all the time:
|Orc Dungeon
This skill has Holy property all the time, so unfortunately, if mob is immune to holy damage we almost cannot kill it!

{{#skill:5260}} '''and''' {{#skill:5255}}
|Glastheim Monastery
<blockquote>IG can only use one stance at a time. Attack stance will increase your damage and lower your defences, while Guardian Stance will increase your defence while lower your '''weapon''' attack, so it has no offset for us!</blockquote>
{{#navi:gl_church|156|7}}
{{#skill:5256}}
|Eden Board level 70-99 board quest (15x Wraith & Evil Druid)
<blockquote>
{{#navi:moc_para01|40|38}}
This skill can only be used while in {{#skill:5255}} and will create an absorbing shield for every party member in 21x21 around you! While farming you can maintain 100% uptime of this skill so you can become immune to damage in most farming scenarios below depth farming.

</blockquote>
|-
{{#skill:249}}

<blockquote>
|Illusion of Moonlight
Activate this skill to receive a 30% chance to block incoming attacks, nothing more. Use skill, get chonkier. Love it.

|100x of any type in Illusion of Moonlight
{{#skill:2325}}
{{#navi:pay_d03_i|153|33}}
<blockquote>
|
One of our most important buffs. It improves all our stats in +30, gives flee and max Hp +20%, but it consumes hp and sp every 5 seconds. We can offset this downside using {{#skill:2315}} or {{#item:50035}}.
|-
</blockquote>
|130-160
{{#skill:2318}}
|Illusion of Vampire
<blockquote>
{{#navi:gef_d01_i|115|216}}
One of our best buffs of it all! With this buff we can <b>dodge</b> every magic damage (almost like self GTB card). The gist of the skill is that the dodge chance is calculated by the following formulae:
|100x of any type in Illusion of Vampire
<br>(INT+LUK) x (SkillLv /20 * BaseLv/200) + SkillLv
{{#navi:gef_d01_i|124|237}}
<br><br>Breaking down this, we will always have level 275 and Prestige at level 5, so the formula will be:
|
<br><br>(INT+LUK) x (5/20*275/200)+ 5 = (INT+LUK) x (34,38%) + 5%. <br><br>So to get 100% magic chance we would need 277 points distributed in int and luk to get it. You can chase that with gear or while using {{#skill:2325}}, as it gives +30 in each.
|-
</blockquote>
|160-200
{{#skill:5262}}
|Verus Outskirts
<blockquote>
{{#navi:ver_tunn|13|35}}
Our best free buff of it all. It boosts cross rain damage by almost 50% and increase our defences against the force of evil (Shadow and undead). Keep it up all time!
|Hunt 50x recon robot
</blockquote>
{{#navi:moc_para01|52|37}}
{{#skill:2315}}
|If you find someone offering a level 180+ leech and you're level 180 or above, I recommend taking their offer.
<blockquote>
When this happens, you want to accept the illusion of underwater board quests in the main office {{#navi:main_office|123|36}}, go to illusion of underwater floor 2 (speak to Jerry in illusion of underwater floor 1), wait until the quest is finished, turn in your quest for exp, and repeat until the leech is finished or you reach your desired level. Remember to change your job at level 200!
This buff you will use depending on what you need at the moment.
</blockquote>
* If you are low on SP use it on level 2;
* If you are low on HP use it on level 1;
* If you dont need to recover use it on level 3 to increase your MATK!;


If they specifically say they're doing einbech 3 instead, then just navigate to einbech 3. {{#navi:ein_dun02|25|250}}
</blockquote>
{{#skill:2313}}
<blockquote>
This skill is toggle, so just use it again in case you die!
</blockquote>


Also at level 180, you can turn in Thanatos fragments for exp at the main office quest board, you won't be able to farm these items yourself but can usually purchase them from other players at a cheap price.

|100x of any type in Illusion of Underwater Floor 2
{{#navi:main_office|123|36}}
|Niflheim Dungeon floor 1 is a much faster place to level up, but you'll want gear that can hit at least 20m dps before trying to tackle it.

=== What skills do I use to farm? ===
{{#navi:moc_para01|52|37}}
Once you start gearing your character and getting stronger, you will notice that sometimes you can ditch some buff because you already are overkilling what you are farming. Always adapt the buffs you need conform what you are hunting!
|This is also a convenient way to farm eden coins
Once you have proper endgame gear, you can farm Varmundt Depths floor 1 when you're level 250
|}


Recommended leveling skills:
===== Basic of self buffing =====
* 1st job: Double Strafe, Arrow Shower
Considering you will be needing all the buffs to start hunting, use all the buffs in this list, in no specific order:
* 2nd job: Throw Arrow, Arrow Vulcan
* 3rd job: Reverberation
* 4th job: Metallic Fury


After you have a reliable zeny income, you can make a +10 {{#item:1702}} and fill it with {{#item:4428}} to make leveling up future Performers a lot faster.
* {{#skill:2313}} (this is toggle, just use it once)
* {{#skill:5255}} (this is toggle, just use it once) (If you dont need the extra defences, consider switching this to {{#skill:5260}}
* {{#skill:249}}
* {{#skill:2325}} > {{#skill:2318}}
* {{#skill:5256}}
* {{#skill:5262}}
* {{#skill:2315}}


== Gameplay & Skills ==
Once buffs ends, you will need to refresh them. To know which buff has ended you can keep an eye in the chat as it says in red per example "The Holy shield effect has been canceled";
[[File:Performer stats conga new.png|right|Trouvere stat & trait assignment]]
For stats, you want to max int, dex, spl and con (addenddum: max spl & con stats are now 110 as of writing)</br>
You should get a healthy amount of vit & agi for durability and fast animation speed, and dumb left over points into str, wis for carry weight & additional durability.</br>
There aren't any specific tricks to pay attention to when playing Troubadour or Trouvere, just remember to keep your buffs up.</br>
The songs you choose however, do matter.</br>


If you dont want to keep track of every single buff, prioritize these:


[[File:Performer skills 01.png|600px|1st job skills]]</br>
# {{#skill:5262}}
* {{#skill:43}}Owl's Eye
# {{#skill:2325}} > {{#skill:2318}}
* {{#skill:44}}Vulture's Eye
# {{#skill:5256}}
* {{#skill:45}}
# {{#skill:2315}}
Starting on 1st job and working our way to 4th, we'll max out our passive skills and attention concentrate for as many stat buffs as possible from the archer job, leftover job points can be dumped into the 1st job damage skills.<br>
# {{#skill:249}}


===== Offensive Skills =====
You will be using {{#skill:5267}} almost every time with very few exceptions. Your main strategy is to teleport, get the aggro of all the mobs around you and while they are almost on you, you make it rain to kill everything! <s>Don't forget that this skills demands that you need to be in the screen to get kill account, so if you are doing kill quests like eden boards wait for the mob to be killed to get the credit!</s>  Thanks @Miku Kitsune, we only need to not be in a party for the kill count! YAY!


[[File:Performer skills 02.png|600px|2nd job skills]]</br>
If you happen to encounter something holy immune (Novices in Bioresearch Laboratory, per example) you can use the following skills, as both will hit neutral magic damage:
On 2nd job and onwards our skills will vary depending on the gender.
* {{#skill:321}} and {{#skill:320}}
* {{#skill:329}}Fortune's Kiss and {{#skill:330}}
* {{#skill:5068}}
* {{#skill:323}} or {{#skill:315}}
For Male performers, you should get Poem of Bragi and your favourite song of choice (I recommend Assassin Cross of Sunset for GM events)</br>
For Female performers, you should get Fortune's Kiss and Service For You, you won't use Fortune's Kiss outside of party play, but Service For You will be very useful for SP conservation while farming.</br>
Skillful Professional Musician is also a critical skill to get for both classes, as well as reaching max level with Dance Lessons for more passive stat bonuses.</br>


* {{#skill:6505}} with {{#skill:5260}}
* {{#skill:2321}} with {{#skill:2325}}


[[File:Performer skills 03.png|600px|3rd job skills]]</br>
===== Skill Tree Build =====
* {{#skill:2413}}
This is the skills that I use! Feel free to adapt conform your needs!
* {{#skill:2412}}
* {{#skill:2350}} or {{#skill:2382}}
* {{#skill:5007}}Frigg's Song
* {{#skill:2427}}
* {{#skill:2434}}
* {{#skill:2414}}
For 3rd job, you should get Metallic Sound to level 5 as we'll need it for later, additionally, reach max level with Voice Lessons.</br>
Depending on your gender, you'll either be getting Swing Dance or Echo Song.</br>
Make sure to also grab Frigg's Song, Song of Mana and Unlimited Humming Voice.<br>


Song of mana will be very useful for farming dungeons as it can single handedly supply your mana if continuously recast when off cooldown.</br>
====== Swordsman ======
Unlimited humming voice will be useful for when we need a large amount of damage, such as when fighting an MVP or powerful group of mobs.</br>
[[File:Swordman.jpg|thumb|none|565x565px]]
Frigg's Song will likely only be used when fighting enemies who deal a large amount of damage such as Depths mobs and is useful for those circumstances.</br>
Reverberation is also a useful skill to have for GM events.</br>


<br>


[[File:Performer skills 04.png|600px|4th job skills]]</br>
====== Paladin ======
* {{#skill:5356}}
[[File:Paladin.jpg|thumb|none|562x562px]]
* {{#skill:5357}}
* {{#skill:5349}}
* {{#skill:5352}}
* {{#skill:5351}}
* {{#skill:5362}}
* {{#skill:5364}}
Finally for 4th job, we mainly care about maxing Metallic Fury, Sound Blend and Stage Manners.</br>
Sound Blend will be critical for killing bosses and strong enemies as it puts a debuff on it's victims which causes them to take increased damage from Metallic Fury.</br>
Also be sure to grab Mystic Symphony and Sonata of Kvasir, afterwards you can grab as many songs as you like.</br>
I recommend assigning Serenade of Jawaii and March of Prontera to max level as well, as they will be your main 4th job buff skills for yourself and your party.</br>
They won't be as significant as most 2nd and 3rd job skills are, but will provide useful benefits and become stronger if a fellow performer is in your party!</br>
If you're alone, Chorus and Ensemble songs such as song of mana and invulnerable siegfred usually require a second performer to sing, but Sonata of Kvasir lets us cast them solo.


== Gameplay (Arrows) ==
<br>
As stated in the previous section, there aren't too many tricks to be aware of, just be sure to keep your buffs up and you'll be fine.


The only thing to be weary of is what arrow you currently have equipped as it will determine what element Metallic Fury uses.</br>
====== Royal Guard ======
Some enemies are immune to certain elements, while others may take 200% damage when using the right element against them.</br>
[[File:Royalguard.jpg|none|thumb|565x565px]]
Every enemy has a unique element you'll need to be conscious of which you can check using @mi <monstername> ingame (for example @mi Moonlight Flower), or by searching them on Divine Pride.
<br>


For the most part, holy damage is generally effective against almost all creatures except holy element enemies.</br>
====== Imperial Guard ======
I recommend keeping different arrows on your hotbar to quickly swap between them when needed, as you can easily double your damage by using the right arrow or loose 75% of it by using the wrong one.
[[File:Imperialguard.jpg|none|thumb|522x522px]]
<br>


[[File:Performer Hotbar Conga.png]]<br>
== Stats and Traits ==
Use whatever feels most comfortable for you.


== Gameplay (Maximizing Damage from Skills) ==
=== Stats ===
Metallic fury is our bread and butter for doing damage, however by itself it can only do so much.</br>
Generally, stats should be based on what best suits you. As such, I won't provide my exact Stat distribution, as you should update yours accordingly.  
Let's say we have a Metallic fury which can hit for 100k damage, ignoring gear completely this is good, but we can do much better.


First we'll cast Sound Brand on our target, this will increase the damage of our Metallic Fury on them from 100k to 120k, this is a fantastic boost against bosses but not so useful against regular mobs as it'll take more time than it's worth to cast sound brand on all of them.


If we need more damage we can use Unlimited Humming Voice to increase our total damage by 40%, turning our 100k damage Metallic Fury into a 140k damage Metallic fury which is effective against all mobs.
'''Int:''' Provides the highest bonus in StatusMATK. It also provides the second-highest reduction in Variable Cast Time.<br>'''Dex:''' Provides the third-highest bonus in StatusMATK. It also provides the highest reduction in Variable Cast Time from stats. Early on, you will want a lot of Dex, as your gear may not provide the VCT reduction you need. Later on, it will be a lower priority.


Of course, we can combine these for a multiplicative bonus of 168% damage for a 168k damage Metallic Fury, without even taking elemental vulnerabilities into account which will provide us with even more damage.
'''Luk:''' Provides the second-highest bonus in StatusMATK. Personal preference, but i usuaully go with more luk than dex, as it also increases our chance of magic dodge using prestige.


As always also remember to add on Serenade of Jawaii for extra damage on top!
'''Vit:''' Provides a lot of tankiness through HP, SoftDEF, and SoftMDEF.


== Stat Goals ==
'''Agi:''' Provides some additional tankiness by providing FLEE, and the ATKSPD improves DPS by reducing Cast animation.
Most classes will need to hit certain amounts of fixed cast time or after cast delay before maximizing their damage, but performers only need 20% After Cast Delay (ACD) to get the most out of their main dps skill Metallic Fury.<br>
Poem of Bragi can provide 30% for free, but is only accessible to male performers.<br>
If you are pursuing the path of being a Trouvere rather than a Troubadour, you will need to find a way to achieve 20% ACD through equipment alone.


[[Equipment Crafting|New Wave Sunglasses]] are very useful for giving 10% ACD and an [[Illusion of Twins Equipment|illusion Silver Guard]] can provide an additional 5% if refined to +10 using Illusion Refinement Boxes.
'''Str:''' Provides additional weight capacity which will help for farming.<br><br>
The remaining after cast delay reduction can be achieve through dim glacier weapons, but can prove to be very expensive to obtain early on.<br>
A cheaper option to consider might be the [[Sinful Accessories|Sinful]] accessories as their set bonus provides 5% ACD reduction and do not need to be enchanted to provide this effect.


Combining New Wave Sun Glasses, Sinful Accessories and a +10 Illusion Silver Guard, you can achieve 20% ACD as a trouvere without Poem of Bragi.
=== Traits ===
Traits are additional stats that provide bonuses for fourth classes. Traits are bit more straightforward:


Here are some other potential combinations to reach 20% ACD:
<br>'''SPL (110):''' Provides the highest bonus in S.MATK and your abilities will additionally scale off SPL.<br>'''CON (100-110):''' Provides the second-highest bonus in S.MATK.<br>'''STA (72)''': As we can dodge every magic damage, we can put all the remaining points into STA, as it will increase our Physical Resistance<br>
* Convertible Magical Wing + Victory Wing Ears
** 15%: Convertible Magical Wing + Victory Wing Ears Combo
** 4% Victory Wing Ears
** Note: This will only grant 19% ACD, but you'll only be short by 0.05 seconds so it will only have a small impact on dps.
* New Wave Sunglasses + Isaac Wigner + Thanatos Accessories
** 10% : New Wave Sunglasses
** 5% : Isaac Wigner
** 5% : Thanatos accessories combo
* Death Rune Manteau + Shield + Isaac Wigner
** 10% : Death Rune Manteau[A]
** 5% : +10 Illusion Silver Guard or Mad Bunny-LT[A] or Mad Bunny-LT Enchantment
** 5% : Isaac Wigner
* Isaac Wigner + Illusion Silver Guard + New Wave Sunglasses
** 5% : Isaac Wigner
** 5% : +10 Illusion Silver Guard or Mad Bunny-LT[A] or Mad Bunny-LT Enchantment
** 10% : New Wave Sunglasses
* Other items of note
** 1% - 10% : Gambler's Seal can be enchanted for variable amounts of ACD reduction.
** 5% : Reload Stone (Dual)


== Gear and farming progression ==




After achieving 20% After Cast Delay reduction you're free to pump damage as high as you can, which is exactly what we'll be doing.


== Gear Progression ==
I've used [[Choi's Guide To Magic]] almost entirely to progress through every phase with very few changes. In every phase i will list the equipments expected to have and the changes made from his guide!


Based off [[Madame_Celery's_Guide_to_MuhRO#Gear_Progression|Celery's Gear Progression Table]]
One thing that I highly recommend is to progress your gear as your progress the character story! If it is your first time playing renewal or if you have never payed attention in ragnarok story, take a breath and enjoy the npcs and story! Is pretty rewarding to feel that you've farmed what you needed to start farming in some place stronger as you progress with your story together!


For female performers, remember you only need to reach 20% ACD with your equipment, pick whichever combination is most convenient for you to hit 20%!
=== Phase Eden ===
At Level 100, you can talk with Labraham and Louis at @go Eden to get your Advanced Paradise Gear. These gears will require {{#item:7318}} , {{#item:1034}} , and  {{#item:7200}} .


Note: A +11 A grade Dimensions Instrument will be your first major increase in damage, followed by an A-Grade +10 fully enchanted Nebula Robe, and then an A-Grade well-refined Moan of Corruption.<br>
Additionally, you can talk with Lucy in the same room to receive your Advanced Paradise Shadow Gear by renting it for 20 Eden Coins for 3 days or buying the set permanently for 230 in total.
Additionally, the moment you can get a Time Dimensions Rune Crown, it will easily double your dps output even with endgame gears, I strongly recommend making one the moment you have enough reputation for it.<br>
Remember not to neglect cheaper equipment while you work towards these major pieces.

|[[Equipment_Crafting#EXP_Advisor,_Vesper_Headgear|Vesper Helm]]</br>
Note: You should only switch off of wickebine's black cat ears after obtaining full master shadow gear, as you will otherwise loose large amounts damage due to not having mdef pierce to bypass monster's mdef stat.<br>
Additionally, I wouldn't recommend building a Vesper Helm unless you believe you absolutely need one, such as if you're doing purely solo play and need the dps to begin farming Depths mobs.<br>
Instead, I recommend trying to buy a Vesper Helm from another player if they're selling it, however, if you believe you can hold on without a Vesper Helm long enough to get a Time Dimensions Rune Crown, it'll be a lot cheaper to go for the Crown directly and skip Vesper.
|[[Varmundt%27s_Biosphere_Depth_2|Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Troubadour & Trouvere)]]<br>
The Rune Crown combo with the weapon will spike in damage when the crown is +10 and both items are A-Graded.<br>
For the 2nd slot enchant anything which boosts s.matk is acceptable, but you will want magic essence for the 2nd slot enchantment.

You should start progressing through the story to unlock all the maps and instances, and if this is your first character ever you will need to do it, so you can just buy the episode unlock with further characters!

[[Angel_Poring_Boots_%26_Sunglasses|Poring Sunglasses]]
With the phase eden equipment you can probably finish episode [[16.1 Banquet for Heroes]] and start progressing through [[17.1 Illusion]]. Episode 17 is the episode where you will start your farm adventure, probably hunting in Rudus 1, 2 and 3 looking for {{#item:25669}} and {{#item:25723}}.
 
If you are only rushing levels to get as soon as possible to 4th class, focus on doing the eden hunting missions for the highest illusion dungeon you can comfortably and constantly kill!
 
The following table has the '''minimum level''' required to access the content related to farm. Focus here is minimum, as chances are that each new map that we unlock will be to hard for us to properly farm there without progressing our gear.

Note: You'll need the Time Dimensions Rune Crown and Weapon together to unlock the weapon's true potential.<br>
You can also enchant the weapon for additional damage.<br>
<br>
Dim Glacier instruments aren't worse than dimensional instruments without taking the crown combo into account, but dimensions weapons have nearly equal damage and are a lot cheaper to make as they don't need enchantments to compete.

Pro tip: Check [[Armor Weapon Tickets]] page to safely refine level 1 gear to +11.
=== Phase Two ===
At this point, we really need to get the 1.5s FCT so we can use Cross Rain to farm even faster. Focus on getting these first:
* {{#item:470021}}: 0.5s
* {{#item:1000616}}: 0.5s
* Brilliant/ Sinful Sapphire Accessories: 0.2s / 0.3s
The final FCT required can be acquired these ways:
*{{#item:25170}}
*{{#item:470023}} using {{#item:1000134}}
*{{#item:470088}} using {{#item:310600}}
Or you can wait until next phase where we will get our +9[C] {{#item:470204}} which will already give 1s FCT!
Once we get 1.5s FCT our focus should be getting our weapon ready! This will be the biggest damage jump for the lowest price.

|[[Temporal Manteaus|Temporal Manteau]]
Between the {{#item:450178}} and the {{#item:450207}}, both options are great. 
[[Gray Wolf Equipment|Gray Wolf Muffler]]
Gray Wolf Robe [1] (450178) provides more damage and  Snow Flower Robe [1] (450207) provides more tankiness. Personally I don't like to farm for amethyst fragments because it takes a lot of time to get all the ammount necessary and Oz Dungeon 2 does not drop anything useful other than the amethysts, but this is entirely personal preference.

=== Phase Three ===
Now it's time to start part of our endgame equipment! Our biggest focus in this step will be shoes, garment and dim glacier weapon! You will also start doing and understading grading and refinement.
These wiki pages are good reads so you can understand how to self craft the following gear:
 
* [[Refinement]]
* [[Grade Enhancing]]
 
Be prepared to farm '''a lot.''' Serious, you will need something near 3k dim glacier boxes so you can fully craft your weapon lol.
 
Now you will notice that you will need tons of {{#item:984}}, {{#item:985}}, {{#item:25731}}, {{#item:25729}} and {{#item:1000322}}!
Don't sleep on those, as you will use thousands of them to craft equipment like {{#item:470204}}, transform into {{#item:6635}} to refine or craft your shadow gear!

Evil Druid will grant immunity to shadow damage like bathory but will also grant immunity to being frozen, however, it will also come at the cost of being damaged when a Priest attempts to heal you.</br>

| Hit these enchants:
The Clown card can also be used on a piece of equipment you swap to rather than your main robe, as you only need to cast the skill periodically.

Purple Pitaya is my recommendation for depths as it'll be your main damage type for damaging mobs.
==== Crafting your own Dim Glacier Weapon ====
To craft the +12 [A] {{#item:500054}} you will need the following items:


One Eye Dollocaris should only be used on a +12 garment, as it will provide curses instead of boons otherwise.</br>
<br>11x {{#item:101637}}
One Eye Dollocaris, if put on the appropriate garment, will likely be the best card to use for boosting damage output as it provides a 33% boost to selected elements over Friedrich's 24% boost on a +12 garment.</br>
While Friedrich boosts all elements over Dollocaris's select elements, Dollocaris's element pool contains the four most frequently used elements in the game as a Performer, particularly holy and shadow.


While the bio5 Trentini and Alphoccio MVP cards may seem appealing due to granting +20 to all stats, they unfortunately provide no other benefits for magical performer and the damage we would gain from having +20 int is massively overshadowed by the damage gained by more standards cards such as Purple Pitya or One Eye Dollocaris.

=== Phase Four ===
We're almost at End Game. Time to make some of the tougher gears. You can skip to Phase Five if you think you can comfortably get the Equipment from Constellation Tower (Hard), Alice Twisted Madness (Hard) and Depth 1 and 2.

|[[Clock Tower Unknown Basement]]
|
|Warper > Dungeons > Clock Tower Unknown Basement
(Ps: You need to walk there by foot the first time to unlock the direct warp. {{#navi:c_tower1 |243|22024}}
|One of the best places to farm. You will get {{#item:984}}, {{#item:985}}, {{#item:25730}}, {{#item:25731}}, {{#item:25728}} and {{#item:25729}}, which you will need a lot at this point. Awesome raw zeny too, by killing monster and selling the gear that drops here.
|-

|[[Niflheim]] 2
|
|
|The creamy card can teleport faster than flywings as the skill has no use delay when cast, but consumes an accessory slot which could be used to improve damage.</br>
|Warper > Dungeons > Niflheim Dungeon > Climb the stairs going south and enter the portal
As an alternative, teleport shadow gear can also provide the skill without taking up an accessory slot, however, you will likely ultimately prefer the extra shadow gear slot with endgame equipment.
|Most of your grind will be on this map! Focus on killing Grotes as they drop {{#item:12103}} which can be sold to players. Tons of {{#item:25730}}, {{#item:25731}}, {{#item:25728}} and {{#item:25729}} and raw zeny too. Go crazy but don't ks other people as it's rude!
|-

|[[Constellation Tower]]

|[[Varmundt's Biosphere]] Death
|{{#item:480233}}
|Warper > Dungeons > Varmundt Dungeons > Biosphere A > east portal to Death Biosphere
|This is a really good place to farm. Tons of  {{#item:25731}} and {{#item:25729}}, but your focus should be to deliver all the hunt 100 quests to get {{#item:1000643}} and {{#item:1001141}}. If you happen to cross the MVP and kill it is a free BSB! Yay!

== Dungeon/Instance Progression ==
=== Phase Five ===
Note: This list assumes you're using Guyak Pudding, Bubble Gum and the Teleport Spell for dungeon farming.<br>
We are finally at the end. I can guarantee that you have spent at least a good ammount of hours to get here, but I can assure we are far from over! At this phase we will slowly upgrade each piece of our gear up until we have nothing more to change and the only possible upgrades are MVP cards and refines past +12!
DPS references are done using the Main Office dummies, dps may be different in dungeon due to various factors but main office dummies will serve as a safe and consistent reference.


As you gain more powerful equipment you'll be able to take on more powerful dungeons and instances.</br>
Also I am also at this phase, so i havent tested or either have each piece that are suggested here! Please feel free to PM me with suggestions of gear to use at this point!
It can be confusing to know where to start however, but here's my general recommendation for when it's a good idea to start farming a certain dungeon.


The following list does not take elemental bonuses into account, so you'll need to think about that yourself before tackling a certain dungeon if you feel you're ready for it.</br>
Our focus will revolve around the gear you get from Constellation Tower, Alice Twisted Madness, and Biosphere Depths and Depths 2. We will also switch over Vesper+Dim Glacier to Time Dimension Crown+Dimension Weapon.
With that said, here's my general recommendation for progression:


==== Suggested priority to upgrade ====
Unlikely the other phases, I will put a priority '''suggestion''' so you can try to upgrade each one at a time:
# 9 [A] {{#item:400530}} &12 [A] {{#item:500092}} (You NEED both at grade A, otherwise dim glacier is better)
# 11 [A] {{#item:470204}}
# 11 [A] {{#item:480233}}
# 12 [A] {{#item:450173}}, if you haven't yet
# 12 [A] {{#item:470204}}
# {{#item:410233}} and {{#item:420213}}
# Varmundt Rings (Varmundt rings will only be better than Brilliant/Sinful if you get {{#item:311958}} beyond lv 3, that is why the rings are bottom of the priority!)
Again, take this with a grain of salt and decide for yourself what's the best next upgrade you should focus on!
The  Engraved Soul Purification Rune Robe [1] (450284) is the better armor, particularly against bosses. However, you will still likely need Nebula Robe of Spell [1] (450173) before being able to farm Biosphere Depths effectively. Once we get the Hall of Life update, it seems that Nebula will be the better armour because of the new enchants!

|Every item earned here is NPC vendable, it is recommended to have a fully leveled haggler pass or have a merchant character you can move your items to before selling for 24% extra zeny per item.</br>
With basic drop rate gear and bubble gum, it should be possible to achieve 50m per hour, however, your zeny/hr depends solely on how fast you can kill monsters.</br>
For this reason, you may not want to use Metallic Fury here and instead use Reverberation as it has a much shorter 0.15s cooldown compared to Metallic Fury's 0.4s cooldown, allowing you to cast it much more often.</br>
Your attack speed with reverberation will depend on how much After Cast Delay reduction you have, if you have fast cast time and fast attack speed, so your equipment will likely differ from your normal gear.


You may want to start with metallic fury until you feel confident you can One Hit kill mobs with Reverberation, at which point continue using reverberation from there.

As of writing, 1400 fragments can be consistently gained per hour with Bubble Gum & Guyak Pudding.</br>
Assuming they're sold at 40,000 zeny each, this can earn 56m zeny per hour</br>
Combined with raw zeny earned from killing monsters, you can easily boost this up to 67m zeny per hour.

Glacier enchants: {{#item:312091}}, {{#item:312092}}, {{#item:312095}}<br>

Mad Bunny enchant:  {{#item:310860}} or  {{#item:310872}}
Additional item drops such as temporal circlet, spell fragments, temporal gemstones and NPC vendable items like {{#item:6610}} and {{#item:6609}} can also add to the zeny per run.</br>
You will need to play the easier tiers to unlock the more difficult levels of the instance with more rewards, so you may need to do a few runs before you can gain the full rewards from this instance.

Dim:  {{#item:312157}},  {{#item:312156}}, {{#item:312136}}
With optimal gear (to 1 shot grotes), it's possible to earn an verage of 40 bloody branches per hour.</br>
Assuming they're sold at 1.5m zeny each, this can earn 75m zeny per hour.</br>
Taking the raw zeny gained from killing monsters (18m) and assuming you earn 200 Zelunium sold at 85k each (17m)</br>
It isn't unreasonable to gain 65m per hour on average depending on the market rate for each item.

Most of the items dropped here won't immediately be for zeny gain, but rather for materials to work towards crafting and enchanting a {{#item:480233}}, which will be a critical piece of equipment for the endgame.</br>
You may need a {{#item:50035}} to farm here until you gain better equipment to easily deal with mobs without the need of buff items.</br>

As of writing, 23m raw zeny can be earnt per hour, combined with an average of 50 essences (at 300k ea), 200 runes (at 29k ea) and 10m from NPC vending Engraved Orlean/Varmundt Rune equipment drops, it shouldn't be unreasonable to make at least 53m per hour with an undergeared setup.</br>
However, this is not taking into account the various Upgrade Stones which can drop from the biospheres which can be sold for additional profit.</br>
Moreso, you'll obtain a significantly high drop rate on all items once you can begin to 1-hit kill the biosphere monsters.</b>
It should be easily feasible to earn 66 essences, 150 runes and 500 fragments per 25 minutes once you can 1-hit kill biosphere monsters, note that this is with turning in the quest each time it is completed for maximum essences/hr.<br>
The above results were posted per 25 minutes specifically as that's typically how long I take to clear all 15 subjugation quests for a particular biosphere.<br>
Taking raw zeny from killing monsters and npc vending varmundt armor into account, it should be easy to earn 100m/hr this way if the items are sold at the right price. (Ideally at least 400k per essence)


Be sure to check which biosphere items sell best on the market before farming.</br>
You may need a {{#item:50035}} to farm here until you gain better equipment to easily deal with mobs without the need of buff items.</br>
Note that the monsters here have a very high amount of MDEF, so you will need some source of 100% mdef pierce to properly fight the monsters here.</br>
Remember to repeatedly turn in the biosphere quest for a guaranteed 2 essences from the related biosphere each time.<br>
You can turn in these quests 15 times each day per biosphere, to maximize essence drops, you can switch to a different biosphere after you stop getting quest-completion essences from a specific one.

|70m raw zeny per hour from NPC selling items</br>

200 Zelunium per hour, assuming they're sold at 82,000 zeny each, gives 16.4m zeny</br>
200 Shadowdecon per hour, assuming they're sold at 38,000 zeny each, gives 7.6m zeny</br>
Combining everything together, it shouldn't be unreasonable to farm at least 94m zeny per hour here</br>
You can increase your income by equipping [[Increase_item_drop_gears|Item Drop Rate Gear]] for more NPC vendable items, Shadowdecon and Zelunium</br>


It is recommended to have a fully leveled haggler pass or have a merchant character you can move your items to before selling for 24% extra zeny per item.</br>
== Misc ==


To enter this area, you'll need to do a [[Thanatos_Tower|Short Quest]].
=== Shadow Gear ===

For more information on Magic Shadow Gear, please check out the Shadow Gear section on the [[Choi's Guide To Magic]].
|Depths Floor 1 (Party Dps)
|200m dps
|All monster drops
|It is difficult to calculate zeny per hour due to the various items drops from the dungeon, instead this section will focus on the reputation gained per hour instead.</br>
Depths 1 Reputation per hour varies depending on the party, however 200 per hour should be a reasonable estimate with a good party.<br>
For maximum reputation farming, take all quests from the npc at {{#navi:ba_in01|309|45}} and try to keep going until most of your quests are complete.<br>
When most of your quests are finished, turn them in, re-accept them from the npc and make your way back to the party as soon as possible, repeat until the party finishes or you need to tap out.


Before stepping into the dungeon, make sure you have some {{#item:50035}} for survivability, {{#item:12710}} to keep up with the group and a few {{#item:6316}} to revive yourself incase you die.<br>
Some great options for mixed Blue Shadow Gear are:
The One Potion and Siegfried Tokens can be bought with eden coins at {{#navi:moc_para01|51|31}} and {{#item:12710}} can be bought for cheap on the market, you can look at the market using @ws <itemname> or @ws <itemID>.


Additionally bring about 100 {{#item:1100005}} for every 30m you intend to run in Depths 1 for, they will be useful for healing if you get in danger.

* Shield:  {{#item:24754}}
* Shoes: {{#item:24884}}

* Pendant:  {{#item:24668}}


This dungeon will test how effectively you can swap arrow types for damage, so be prepared if you plan to contribute to dps.
=== Costume Stones ===


When you're finished, you can turn in your {{#item:1001289}} to the General Manager at {{#navi:ba_in01|292|103}} for 3 reputation every 2 documents you hand in.<br>
Imperial Guard Combo:
You'll need to reach 1,000 reputation for engraving [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth|Soul Purification Rune Robes]] and 2,000 reputation to enter [[Varmundt's_Biosphere_Depth_2|Depths 2]] for crafting and enchanting Dimensional Items.


Be sure to avoid selling any Temple, Purification or Soul related Depths items as we will be needing them for enchanting Robes once we have enough reputation.

|Alice Hard is an instance which requires a party to complete, you'll want a source of magic dps (yourself), a source of physical ranged dps, a source of physical melee dps, someone to tank (elemental master) and preferably an AB to help as well.</br>
If your party can complete the instance in under 20 minutes, you'll be rewarded with a {{#item:1001082}} which sells for 10m zeny as of writing.<br>
Otherwise, you can earn a plentiful amount of {{#item:1001079}} which can sell for 200,000 zeny each as of writing.


Your job will be to kill the vine monsters called Spades as they will only be vulnerable to magical damage, while your physical damage dealer handles the Absolem.<br>
=== Pets  ===
Additionally the final boss of the instance, the Jabbawocky, will only be vulnerable to magical damage in phase 1, but switch to being vulnerable to physical damage in phase 2.


For this instance, you'll want to use fire damage to kill the Spades and holy damage for the bosses as it's their respective weaknesses.
*{{#item:9089}};
*{{#item:9134}};
*{{#item:9122}};
*{{#item:9139}};
*{{#item:9147}};


Additionally, when you find the portal at the end of the red maze, be careful not to enter as it will closely shortly after a party member steps inside of it.<br>
These are your options, choose what you like / can afford at the moment!
Tell them the location of the portal and until your party is together, then step in the portal all at once to make sure no-one's left behind.<br>


The items from this instance will be useful for upgrading your Mad Bunny shield into a Mad Bunny-LT, as well as crafting some other [[Alice_Twisted_Madness#Cards_in_Mouth|headgear]] [[Alice_Twisted_Madness#Gambler's_Seal|accessories]].

The main resource to farm here are Temple, Purification and Soul related items to craft Soul Purification Rune Robes.<br>
=== Cards ===
All other items can be vended.
Please refer to [[Choi's Guide To Magic]] for a full breakdown in which card you can use. I will list the ones I currently use:


Remember to bring a {{#item:50035}} and {{#item:12264}} now that you're the main dps source.<br>
{| class="wikitable"
Neutral element arrows will be faster to kill with over arrow switching as they can both damage almost every creature in the dungeon.<br>
!Position
Additionally, since every enemy here is a boss-type creature, {{#item:4253}} and {{#item:9134}} are both very effective for damage reduction and increasing your own damage output.

|Note: You don't need 1b dps to get into most D2 parties, but 1b dps is more or less you minimum you want to effectively kill monsters.


All the advice from the depths 1 party dps section also applies here, however, you will likely also want to bring {{#item:523}} to remove the curse status effect frequently afflicted here.<br>

I strongly recommend sticking to neutral arrows in most scenarios due to large variety in monster elements in the dungeon.

The amount you can gain will vary depending on your party, but you can typically expect around 60 {{#item:1001555}} and 20 {{#item:1001556}} per hour assuming your party completes the 3,000 kills quest within the hour.
I recommend using @aloottype +6, along with @autoloot 0 and @alootid +1001550|1001551|1001552|1001553|1001554|1001555|1001556 to only pick up the useful crafting ingredients in this dungeon.<br>
Remember to turn in your 450 kills quest frequently as it will reward a {{#item:1001556}} each time, you can ask your party what position they're closest to when you need to re-enter the portal for a shorter trip back to the group.

== Miscellaneous Advice ==
== Special thanks ==
I'd like to thanks the following people that helped me so much since the start, giving valuable knowledge and gave me something to focus very hard in the last few months! I thank you all with all my heart!


This section is dedicated to other pieces of useful information which doesn't quite fit anywhere else.</br>
* Ririka and Dominicus, my best friends in the world!
Let's get started
* Choi for helping me since I couldnt even properly farm Illusions!
* Free Bubble Gum & Buff Potions
* Brozenwall (Zyrus) for teaching me all about gear progression on IG and with some eventual items needed!
** You can earn free bubble gum, battle manuals and buff potions by completing eden board quests and trading your eden coins in at the Eden Vending Machine {{#navi:moc_para01|51|31}}.
* All of Shady Communication for the instance / depth runs that we do almost daily!
** My preferred way to farm eden coins is in Abyss 4, by taking the Abyss 4 eden board quest {{#navi:moc_para01|52|37}} and the main office Abyss Lakes 4 quests {{#navi:main_office|123|36}} as you can farm {{#item:25223}} and {{#item:50001}} simultaneously.
** However, the fastest place to farm solely eden coins is Varmundt Power Plant 2 due to the significantly higher monster density.
* Casual MVP farming
** Field MVPs can be fun to hunt, but remember use a bubblegum when you go to hunt them, BBG is nearly free thanks to Eden Board farming and a 0.08% MVP card drop rate is a lot better than 0.04%.
** Further on this note, if used with guyak pudding, a single bubble gum is enough to clear all of Endless Tower or Endless Cellar.
** MVPs also frequently drop {{#item:50034}}, {{#item:25729}} and {{#item:25731}} which are useful materials.
** Random MVP drops such as {{#item:968}} and {{#item:25629}} are also useful for shadow gears, so shouldn't be abandoned.
* Bloody Branch Popping
** Are you rich and want to gamble for an MVP card?
** If you have a large amount of bloody branches, you can pop a HE Bubble Gum and spam bloody branches for a chance at an MVP card.
** On average, you'll usually want about 1,000 branches for 1 MVP card using this method, since while you'll have a 0.12% chance to drop a card on each MVP, not all MVPs spawned from the branch drop an MVP card.
* Fly Wings or Teleport Skill?
** While fly wings don't require a dedicated gear slot, they come with a short delay before casting teleport.
** Because of this teleporting using the skill itself, such as with a creamy card, is much faster than using fly wings.
