* 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. | * 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.

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. | At this point, you might have noticed that if you try to do any dungeon past lv200, there's a big spike in difficulty.

First of all, now that you have solved FCT and have very little VCT, it's time to switch to {{#skill:5429}} build. It will be weaker damage wise for now, but it's it will make up for it by now having to to use {{#skill:5421}} every time you cast. You'll want to max {{#skill:5429}}, {{#skill:5431}}, {{#skill:5416}}, {{#skill:5417}}, {{#skill:5423}}, {{#skill:5420}} and {{#skill:5418}} in that order of priority. If you have extra points, level {{#skill:5422}} too. | |||
Test your new skills in the dummies at the basement of Main Office. The combo to activate the Blessing of Four Directions buff is {{#skill:5426}} > {{#skill:5427}} > {{#skill:5428}} > {{#skill:5429}} > {{#skill:5431}}. | |||
* 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. | * You'll want to get back to Oz Dungeon 2 to farm enough fragments for {{#item:450178}}.

* Work on getting yourself a {{#item:480125}}. I won't go into too much detail about how to craft it, because there's already a very good explanation for it in [[Choi's Soul Ascetic Guide]] section Phase Three. Make it +11 at least, but also consider making it +12 so you can use {{#item:300375}}. | * Work on getting yourself a {{#item:480125}}.

Soul Ascetic has the advantage of having good Shadow Gear for cheap to start with, since you can get {{#item:24655}}, {{#item:24415}} and {{#item:24315}} to ignore MDEF of Normal class enemies (eveything that's not a Boss). You'll need the following: | ||

# 240 {{#item:50033}}. You can get these by opening {{#item:50034}}. These can be obtained from killing field and dungeon MVPs, but the most common way is to buy them from Rayja at {{#navi:main_office|88|178}} for the price of 5 {{#item:25729}}. Since opening one crate gives on average 3 {{#item:50033}}, you'll need to open around 80 crates, so you'll need around 400 {{#item:25729}}. You'll have some from your Oz Dungeon farming. If you don't have enough, just buy them. It's easier to farm the zeny in Gefenia or Old Thanatos than to farm the {{#item:25729}} at this point. | # 240 {{#item:50033}}.

# | # You'll need to equip all 3 pieces and make sure your {{#skill:423}} is leveled to max. You're now ignoring 30% of Normal mob MDEF and 40% of MDEF of all races. These stack additively, so in effect it's 70% of all Normal mobs. To get the remaining 30%, you need a few upgrades. These pieces of gear can be upgraded at any refiner (for instance Leona at @go 50) with Elunium or Oridecon. If you upgrade everything to the safe limit, you'll have an extra 12% ignore from the shield, | ||
* Acquire 2000 Muh Points in any of the ways discussed before and buy yourself a {{#item:23323}} from the rental section of the Muh Shop. This won't make you more powerful, but it's a huge QoL upgrade, not having to buy and carry fly wings anymore. When the 30 day one runs out the first time, you should be able to afford a yearly one, which is much more efficient cost wise. | |||
