Hi, I'm Satsujinhan and I've been playing melee chaser ever since I first started out in renewal servers. I've received questions in game regarding my build, gears and so forth, and now I'm finally making this guide for everyone. This whole guide is based on what I've done and tested so far, so there are still some spots I will fill in once I get there in game. If you spot any mistakes, have additional questions etc, you can find me on the server's Discord as Karuna or you can ROdex me in game on my abyss chaser Satsujinhan. | Hi, I'm Satsujinhan and I've been playing melee chaser ever since I first started out in renewal servers.

** Issgard also is the source of a first proper weapon for your brand new abyss chaser. You can opt to get a normal Glacier weapon at first, which are cheaper, easier and faster to enchant compared to their Dim counterparts. Later on, I highly recommend getting a Dim Glacier Rogue Knife [1], so you can boost your Deft Stab damage. You can start farming for the enchanting materials in Snake’s Nest (you can unlock a direct warp here on the warper by unlocking all the daily quests in Issgard region). I farmed the materials required myself, and this allowed me to save zeny from selling all the extra loot dropped by the mobs. Once you’re confident enough you can deal with Abandoned Pit floor 1, you can move your farming there instead.

** | ** They can be considered a bit better option next to Snow Flower gears, or equal at the very least. Looking at how their enchant process works, they lean more towards enhancing your overall damage source (ATK, mATK etc). Regarding their enchants, they seem to be a bit easier in terms of getting what you want (no NPC to turn into items to just to get an RNG item that's a double/useless). The nice bonus part about these gears is the grading though. It's a good stepping stone for armor grading - just two grades, so you don't get overwhelmed with having to go from D to A with all armor parts at once. A special mention, however, needs to be made about [[File:460040.png|frameless]] Glacier Guard [1]. When you're able to, try to get your hands on one and enchant it. | ||

** These gears are your next big thing to work on. Reforming them and enchanting them is a time consuming task, but the finished products are well worth it. The gear set you benefit the most on your melee build is the Fire Rune set. Unlike the previous Snow Flower gears which enhanced your Deft Stab damage with their enchants, these gears boost your traits and melee physical damage. Fully enchanted, refined and graded, you will do more damage with these gears rather then the Snow Flower ones, as they only boosted your singular skill damage. Detailed information about reforming, grading and enchanting can be found [https://wiki.muhro.eu/Varmundt_Rune_Stone_Equipment here]. Varmundt gears also introduce new accessories for you as well, namely the Venom rings. The base item in crafting them drops from Temple / Soul / Venom biosphere dungeon only.

You can get your first shadow gear set as a rental for free in the Eden Group. This is plenty enough to carry you to abyss chaser. The first ”real” shadow gear set you can look into farming for yourself is the Master Shadow set. This set can be enchanted to boost Deft Stab damage as well as POW trait, making it a good basic set for you chaser. You can read more about this set from [[Shadow Gear | this]] page. Don't worry about getting the shadow set as soon as you change into abyss chaser though - the real need for it comes up once you're geared enough to start farming in Biospheres. | You can get your first shadow gear set as a rental for free in the Eden Group.

With the newest update to shadow gears, we now have Deft Stab accessory set, which (based on my tests) does surpass the damage you can do with Full Penetration accessories. Master Shadow set is still a good starting point for any new player, but afterwards you can start working on Deft Breaker set to get higher DPS. | |||
