 For more information regarding the listed '''Shadow Gears''', check this [[Shadow_Gear|page]]. For '''Shadow Gear enchanting''', you can refer to this [[Shadow_Enchanting|page]] or [[Choi%27s_Guide_To_Magic#Shadow_Gear|Choi's Guide to Magic]].
-In terms of precedence, {{#item:24665}} and {{#item:24668}}takes priority over your other Shadow Gears when starting out. You would want to eliminate '''MDef''' as soon as possible and get full '''MDef''' pierce as your damage diminishes the higher the '''MDef''' of the monsters.
+The so-called Blue Shadow Gears such as {{#item:24770}}, {{#item:24683}}, {{#item:24665}}, and {{#item:24668}}can be worn without any level requirements. As soon as you create your x1 character, you can already wear them. For the shadow armor and shadow shoe slots, I went with the combo of {{#item:24764}} + {{#item:24763}} just because I really like the permanent '''{{#skill:8}}''' effect. You can wear these choices up until you reach Level 99, then once you job change to Sorcerer I suggest you switch <u>either</u> your EXP Shadow Weapon or EXP Shadow Shield to a +9~+10 {{#item:24297}} or +9~+10 {{#item:24310}}. You don't have to choose both, just pick one of the Sorcerer Shadow Gears. Personally, I picked Sorcerer Shadow Weapon to reduce '''{{#skill:2447}}'''<nowiki/>'s CD by 4 seconds then revolved around my skill rotation between '''{{#skill:2449}}''' and DD. If you prefer '''{{#skill:2446}}''' over DD then choose Sorcerer Shadow Shield instead. By doing these, I am left with 1 Sorcerer Shadow Gear and 1 EXP Shadow Gear.
+As soon as you transition to Elemental Master, you can switch back to your EXP Shadow Gears again. If you are having a hard time killing monsters, you may switch your EXP Shadow Gears and Lord Bearer's to '''Trait''' '''Shadow Gears''' and '''Trait'''-'''Enhanced Shadow Gears''' comprising of {{#item:24753}}, {{#item:24754}}, {{#item:24883}}, and {{#item:24884}} or the [[Shadow Gear#Special Master Shadow Gear|Skill Master Shadow Gear]] if you already have them in your possession. What I did with mine was I used EXP Shadow Gears, Full Tempest, and Lord Bearer's for all hunting dungeons that are not [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth 2]]. For farming Depth 2, I have a condition if I want to use EXP Shadow Gears and that is I should always upkeep the '''{{#skill:2434}}''' from my Troubadour so that I can OHKO the mobs in Depth 2. Without this specific buff, I can't kill efficiently with EXP Shadow Gears and thus I started using my Skill Master Shadow Gears; yes, in case you're wondering, "Shouldn't you always have your performer slave for the '''{{#skill:307}}''' buff anyway?", well in my case sometimes I don't like logging in a second account because it makes my turtle net sluggish and so I just log-in only 1 character; however if you have God-like connection, then by all means log-in 2 characters, equip your EXP Shadow Gears, and buff yourself with Humming Bird and Mr. Kim.

-The enchant stones that give PW modifiers are {{#item:25417}} when paired with the {{#item:25420}}, {{#item:1000673}}, and the Garment stone itself. The combo that will reduce PW's CD is the {{#item:25419}} and Garment stone.
+As early as a Novice, you can already socket the '''EXP costume enchant stones''' consisting of {{#item:25171}}, {{#item:25141}}, {{#item:25015}}, and{{#item:1002404}} to your costumes. Then once you get to Sorcerer, I advise you to switch your EXP stones to {{#item:1000672}}, {{#item:1000673}}, {{#item:25419}}, and {{#item:25420}}. The combo that will reduce PW's CD is the Professor Stone (Low) and Sorcerer Stone (Garment), while Sorcerer Stones (Top/Mid) will give you 0.5 second FCT reduction and 10% VCT reduction to help you reach instant cast.
+After you're done with 3rd Job leveling, you can immediately switch back to your much coveted EXP stones. If you feel like you are not killing fast enough or lacking with VCT or FCT then I suggest you use your costumes stones geared for that purpose such as {{#item:1001420}} and all three of the Sorcerer Stones. Personally, I only switched the lower and garment stones to EXP when I did mine and left the rest as is, but like I said you do you.

+The list of dungeons I have presented in the table above are the dungeons that I have frequent and worked best for me. I found these dungeons comfortable enough for my x1 EM character, and if you think there are places that suit you better then you can opt to skip some of the suggested ones I have given as these are more of a guideline.
