If you've been following what I said up until now, you should be missing a few gear pieces. To farm these, I recommend spending Eden Coins on {{#item:12264}}.

You'll probably want to farm here for a while. The idea is obtaining a few {{#item:100699}} along the way, so you can make your new shiny shield +10 with them (tip: make it +4 with regular upgrading before you can use the box). You'll also want to keep all the {{#item:25271}} for later. | ||

# Your middle and lower headgear don't provide THAT much in terms of damage. You probably want to run Poring Village and Wave Mode instances, looking for {{#item:19117}} and {{#item:23135}} respectively. That 10% drop rate will come in handy later. For Poring Village, you can just create a bunch of characters and run it repeteadly. Don't worry too much if {{#item:19117}} doesn't drop the first day, as it is a low chance. Just keep running it. Wave Mode is also a good source of Fashion Points (by recycling the costume stones the chests drop), and you'll need those later, so don't mind dedicating 1 whole hour to running it. | |||
# Finish your illusion items. Your {{#item:460018}} and {{#item:19428}} become much more powerful once you make them +11 and add double {{#item:29001}} to them. The cheapest way to make lv1 armors such as these into +11 is to firs make them +10 and then use {{#item:6225}} and normal refining to make them +11. You have a small risk of them breaking, but this will not destroy the item. IF they do break, you can repair them for a 5 million zeny fee. Now the cheapest way to obtain {{#item:6225}} is to acquire 4500 Muh points and buy the box of 10 from the Muh Shop, since the box will also give you back 1 {{#item:6635}}, which is pretty valuable. To get the points, either donate to the server or buy {{#item:50003}} or {{#item:50000}} from players. You can also get {{#item:50000}} from hourly events and GM sponsored events, although this will take a while. You can turn {{#item:50000}} into points using the Rich Cow NPC at Main Office. | |||
Once you made both pieces +11, you'll want to head over to {{#navi:prontera|92|114}} to enchant them. Do random enchant twice, and if you didn't get any {{#item:29001}}, reset the item completely. Once you get one {{#item:29001}}, you'll want to use the option to only reset the bad enchant, which costs more {{#item:25271}}. This can cost thousands of {{#item:25271}} to get both items finished, so you might want to settle for just 1 {{#item:29001}} per item for now, and come back to it later. | |||
==== Level up some more ==== | |||
Right now, one of the easiest ways to increase your performance is to get some more levels. I recommend to farm some more Illusion of Underwater 2, simply because you still need a lot of the stuff they drop there, such as {{#item:25271}}. You'll also want as many {{#item:100425}} as you can get, alongside any of the illusion armor pieces they drop here. Why? Because later on you'll need at least 2 {{#item:6994}} and this is how you get them. You can read all about how to make certificates in [[Madame Celery's Guide to MuhRO]]. Farming here to sell {{#item:6994}} to other players is also a good source of income, since they're usually in demand. | |||
You can farm here all the way to level 250 if you want. It slows down a lot after 240, but you'll get there while farming important resources. Don't forget to deliver the daily quest everytime you finish it. | |||
At this point, you should have maxed your SPL trait and started working on your CON trait. This will give you enough damage to do what you need to do next. | |||

From here on out, the real grind starts! Have fun getting stronger bit by bit, I'll do what I can to guide you along what I think is the easiest path to power. Feel free to check other guides such as [[Choi's Soul Ascetic Guide]] for gear progression and general gameplay, but I'll take a more direct approach where I just tell you what I think is faster to get there. | |||
==== Getting rid of that nasty FCT ==== | |||
You might have noticed by now that you take a while to cast! We need to fix this. To do that, let's follow these steps in any order you feel like: | |||
* Do all of episode [[18 Direction of Prayer]]. If it's your first character, buying a skip ticket won't work (read the item description), so get questing. Once you finish the episode, you should have over 1000 {{#item:1000405}}. Unfortunately, you need a lot more. We'll be using {{#item:470088}}, and you'll need around 2000 fragments to finish all enchants. After doing the whole questline, the best source of {{#item:1000405}} is farming Oz Dungeon 2, which you should be able to do just fine by now. Don't forget your {{#item:12264}}. At this point, you should be getting around 400-600 {{#item:1000405}} per 30 minutes. You'll also want to collect {{#item:25728}}, {{#item:25729}}, {{#item:25730}} and {{#item:25731}} from this dungeon. You can use the autoloot setup below. | |||
<code>@alootid reset|+25728|+25730|+25731|+25729|+1000405</code> | |||
<code>@al 1</code> | |||
Your priority will be to get the {{#item:310602}} enchant for your {{#item:470088}}. Once you have a total of 1850 {{#item:1000405}} and 20m zeny (ouch) you can enchant the shoes. Apply safe enchant and choose {{#item:310594}} for the 4th slot and then safe enchant again to get {{#item:310602}} on the 3rd slot. The 2nd slot enchant is not worth the effort. Make the shoes +7 with a cheap certificate. | |||
* Get a {{#item:490052}} and {{#item:490053}} set. This will bring your FCT down by another 0.3s. It's a bit annoying to farm in new Thanatos 12 at this point, so you might want to just buy them. If you do decide to farm there, you'll need to use {{#item:12710}} (buy from players or with Muh Points in the shop). Thanatos 12 is a great farming spot, but it's pretty crowded usually. Feel free to try, but I wouldn't dwell on it. | |||
* Get a {{#item:25170}}. Just buy it from other players and use your Fashion Points to buy yourself a garment costume that you like from Main Office second floor. While there in the second floor of Main, you can talk to Lace La Zard at {{#navi:main_office|68|278}} to enchant your garment with the stone. | |||
==== The next level ==== | |||
At this point, you might have noticed that if you try to do any dungeon past lv200, there's a big spike in difficulty. We'll slowly work towards being able to do this content now that you're set up. | |||
* You'll want to get back to Oz Dungeon 2 to farm enough fragments for {{#item:450178}}. You'll need around 3800 {{#item:1000405}} and another 20m zeny to finish it. Use the random method to enchant slot 4 of the armor, since there's barely any benefit to this slot and we don't want to use the safe method for it. After that's done, use the safe method to enchant {{#item:310510}} on the 3rd slot and safe method again to enchant {{#item:310532}} on the 2nd slot. You'll need to make the armor at least +11... remember those {{#item:6994}}? It's time to use one of them. Use {{#item:6225}} to get the +11. You can also go +12 here, as that will allow you to use {{#item:300376}}. It will cost quite a bit more, though. Be it +11 or +12, it will be quite a good damage spike. | |||
