Choi's Prerenewbie Guide to Renewal: Difference between revisions

My guild and I come from a prerenewal server and had very limited knowledge about Renewal, so I had created this guide to help them but decided to share with anyone interested. The purpose of this guide is to hopefully help people who are new to renewal and should be used as a supplement to the other guides!  

Also, please check out [[User Guides|the other User Guides that are available!]]  

* [[Choi's_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Shadow_Gears|Shadow Gear]]  

* [[Choi's_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Grade_Enhancing|Grade Enhancing]]

== Starting out and Leveling ==

* Quests are repeatable.

* Some areas need to be accessed once before you can access them through the warper. Some areas may need episode completion to access it.

Skill Damage is separated into Physical Melee, Physical Ranged, and Magical. You will see a lot of gear and equipment are separated in this way (e.g. {{#item:27384}}, {{#item:300270}}, {{#item:450169}}). You can see your skill's damage type under "Type" in your skill description. However, I would break it out into five damage classes:  

Similar to {{#skill:382}}, many physical skills in Renewal are able to critically strike. As such, I would organize the damage types in this way, as the gear required for these damage types will be fairly similar for characters in that class.

== Gear Progression OR How I Think About Gear ==  

At level 100, you can talk with [[Beginners_Guide#Eden_Gear|Labraham and Louis]] to get Advanced Paradise Gear. These gear will require:

Once you get these, you should start improving your gear starting from Stage 1

For the most part, the equipment in renewal requires specific currencies that can be received from instances, quests, or mob kills. For example:<br>

Certain gear and maps require episode quests to be completed. Completing the episode quests gives you access to the maps and gives you a lot of the relevant currencies. This is a good route to take to move forward with gear progression.  

* [[17.1 Illusion]] is needed for [[Grace Set|Grace Equipment]]

* [[19 Issgard Land of Snow Flowers]] is needed for [[Issgard Equipment|Snow Flower and Glacier Equipment]]  

* [[20_The_Immortal]] is needed for [[20_The_Immortal#Enchants|Glacier and Dim Glacier Equipment]]

A common and great place to start Grade Enhancing is with the [[Equipment_Issgard#Dim_Glacier_Weapons_2|dim glacier weapon]] as it is the BIS weapon for most classes. Due to the cost-effectiveness of the {{#item:101637}}, it is significantly easier to get it to the refinement level for the desired enchantment.
